Emperor of Austria. Gen. Neil has been APP
pointed marshal Of France.
"CAvRIANA. June 26-11.30 A. M.-The
Austrians who had crossed the Mncio for the
purpose of attacking us with their whole body,
have been obliged to abandon their positions
and withdraw to the left bank of the river
They had blown up the bridge of Goito.
The loss of the enemy is very considerable,
but ours is much less. We have taken 80
cannon, more than 700 prisoners, and flags.
Gen. Neil and his corps de- armee have cover
ed themselves with glory, as well as the whole
army. The Sandman army inflicted great
losses on the enemy, after having contended
with great fury against superior forces.
The Paris Presse says that private messages
from Berne, are spoken Of, which put down
the Austrian loss at $4,000 hors de combat
and 10000 taken prisoners, together with 10
flags and fifteen pieces of cannon. This, how
ever, lacks confirmation.

"Cauariaa June 25.-Soldiers THE enc
my, who believed themselves able to repulse
us from the Chiese, have re-crossed tie Min
clio. You have wortlily defended the honor of
France! SolterinG mas surpassed the recollec-
tons of Lonato and Cashglione. In a battle OF
twelve hours you have repulsed the efforts of
100000 men. Your enthusiasm did not rest
xere. The numerous artillery of the enemy
occupied formidable positions for over three
leagues, which you have carried Your
country thanks you for your courage
and perseverance, and laments the fallen.
We have taken flags, 80 cannons, and 5000
prisoners. The Sandman army fought with
the same valor against superior forces, and
worthy is that army to march beside us.
Blood has not been shed in vain for the glory
of France, and the happiness of the people"

reached Paris. 1t was inferred from the tele-
grams that the French army suffered so Sc

wounded.

armies, but at ten A. NJ. yesterday, one left I'M
der Gen. Wimpen, advanced as far as Chiesse.
In the afternoon, there was concentrated as
saut on the Soerno. Our right wing repuls-
ed the Piedmontese, but on the other hand the
order of our centre could not be restored; and
our losses are extraordinarily heavy. The
developments of powerful masses-of the enc

his main body against Volta caused our re-
treat, which began late in the evening.
