LATER FROM EJROPE
The steamship Canada, from Liverpool the
I'd, passed Cape l'acc on Sunday morning The
folnwing meagre distract of news obtained from
her has been keptback ever since by the dog-n-
the-manger telegraph line away sown east.
The news by fhe Canada does not present any
new features of unusual Importance There had
been no more fighting, and the allies continued
their movement across the Mincio unmoested.
The emperor Napoleon had changed his head
quarters from Volta to Vallegio. The Sardinians
had completed the Investment of Peschiera, from
the Lago di Garda to the Mncio. The emperor
of Austria was expected to remain in Italy.
The new English ministry has pronounced for
strict neutrality Mr. Golden has declined n
seat in the cabinet.

the Austrians had retreated from the easterly

The New York Times has letters from Mr..
Raymond and another correspondent, who are
on the ground, giving some interesting particu-
lars of the battle of the 24th:-
1.-The Austrian position was in a crescent, as
at Magenta, about miles long, and was exceed
ingly strong III every point of view, since the
French were obliged to attack from the plain in
full view, and in concentrated form. During
the first hour of the battle the French were
twice driven back by the superior numbers and
the impetuosity of the Austrians. But this re-
trograde movement was not a repulse, and the
ground lost was Immediately reganed. 1t was
the first regiment of Zouaves that suffered most
at this moment. AT one O'Clock ! saw two cart
loads of wounded men of this regiment, as they
came off the field on their way to Castgione,
and they told me that at that moment not a
single commissioned officer of their regiment
was on his feet.
"The two villages on the line of hills held by
the Austrians Offered the greatest resistance to
the advance of the French. One of these, Sol
ferino, was taken and retaken three times by
Canroberts division, and it is said at this point
the dead bodies actually concealed the ground

ghone, IN which, strange to relate, both the men
and women OF that town fired upon the French !

back over the plain, and from their strong po-
sltlon on the hisides, till, at o'clock, they
made their last obstinate stand at the town of
Volta, six miles east of Castiglione. An hours
work dislodged them from this place. and then
at o'clock violent rain storm coming up, at

OF the Austrians commenced.
"Away to the northeast, towards Peschiera.
