PRICE TWO CENTS

Culese' Inc oDllque llne running from the north
east 10 the southwest occupied the ground between
the Mincio and the Chiese which has for wears
served as the Camp de Mars for the Austrian armi, s.
The Austrian officers, therefore, knew every inch
OF the field on which they fought. Opposite the
Austrian right wing were the Sardinians the rest
of the line was occupied by the French All Thurs
day was spent in preparations, and arranging the
order of battle. But Friday, about 10 O'Clock in
the morning, the action began. In the afternoon,
according to the Austrian account (tor the French
kilograms give no detals) concentrated attack by
the Allies made on the village OF Solferino.
The SaTdinians repulsed; but at the same time
it appears that the centre forced, for the Aus
trian telegram says that "order in that quarter
could not be restored" Besides this, it is clear
that the French made great flank attack on the
Austrian left wing. In the meanwhile the main
body advanced upon Volta, which is in rear of the
Austrian line of battle, and close to the Mncio.
In short, the Austrian centre pierced and his
left was overwhelmed. The battle of Solferno was
won and the retreat was ordered What the losses
may be neither the French nor the Austrian
counts indicate, but the Turin Telegram declares
that the Allies took thirty cannon, 5000 prisoners
and several flags. .
THE COMPLETENESS OF THE ALLIED VICTORY.
The London Ne1s remarks, with great force, on
the ample preparation of the Austrians before the
battle of SOlferino, and of the unquestionable ma
ture of the victory achieved by the allies. 1t
says
'Ietters from Verona, published by the only one
OF our contemporaries who is represented in the
points relative to the great battle of Solferno. On
that occasion the Emperor disposed of the whole
of his forces in Italy. The concentration of his
army complete. The men were not unseasoned
recruits, told they were at Magenta.
Neither were they weakened by long fasting as one
OF the army corps was said to have been the
occasion.
''We read: Judging by my own eyes, see that
the men are all strong, vigorous and healthy.
Notwithstanding the heavy marching to which they
have been forced, they mostly erect and soldier
like saw no very young men, such as one might
suppose likely to be recruits. All seem to be tried
soldiers. Their spirits excellent. So again,
on the same authority, we told: IF numbers,
efficiency, excellent spirits, and position of un-
paraleled strength certain elements of success,
it should be the fortune of the Ausrians to repel
every attack
"We must make deduction for the position for
the Austrians abandoned it to fght-a proof that
the confidence of their generals was at its height
The Emperor was there to excite emulation Hess
to plan the attack, and Wimpffen and Schlick Off
GERS of bravery and experience to carry it out
The allies have thus had the honor of defeating the
fnest army their enemy hope to bring into
the field, commanded by captains of the highest
emmenee Nothing seems to have been wanting to
the Austrians, but the inspiration of great cause
The Frenchman fights for Glory and France the
Pledmontese, animated by the example ofhis soldier
king, for the rising greatness of his country; the
Italian volunteer, for liberty; but for the Austrian
there is neither glory nor hope. The Emperor
may well return to Vienna and put his house in
order. If half the time he has given to extending
his illegal influence over the Independent States of
Italy had been bestowed in satisfying the lust re-
quirements of his subjects, he might have been
by this time served by faithful people, where as
noW wel-placed observers partial to his cause re-
present his empire as in state Of dissolution"
TAKING OBSERVATIONS FROM A BALLOON.
| writer dating Castenedoo, June 20, SAYS:
"ln order to improve all these advantages an ex-
! pedient adopted which is not new indeed, but
which appears new under quite different circum-
stances. The brothers Goddard, of aeronautic re-
pute, who came out some time ago provided with
their best apparatus, made Yesterday in the after
| noon their first experiment i'll Castelnedolo. One
| of them made an ascent in small balloon to ex-
plore the position of the enemy beyond the Chese.
Having first mounted on the Campanile to take the
bearings, and make himself somewhat acquainted
with the country, he entered his little skif and
went up in the air with a regularity which, accord
ing to those who saw the ascent, showed he was
master OF his eccentric conveyance. He rose to a
height of from 500 to 700 wards stopped for min
ute or so, and then descended again with as much
| regularity he had shown in ascending. As YOU
remember, under Napoleon l., attempts were made
| to acquire information of the enemy's position by
these MEANS but in the then state of aeronautic ex
| perience not much could be made of these means.
Now, aerOnauts pretend to have succeeded in regu-
| atng the movements of their balloons with toera-
bic accuracy, and certainly the many successful as
cents seem proof of a certain proficiency"

letter dated Massa-Ducale, June 10Th, describes
| the movements and present position of the army
under Prince Napoleon
''The Fifth Cops has made long halt at Massa
| the rendezvous for troops some of which coming
from various distances required at least four-and
twenty hours of repOse. The whole body of troops
is now in a compact mass, and it will proceed by
echej0nS OF about 5000 men. The distance from
Massa to Parma is calculated at seven etages.
''Twelve miles journey will take US tomorrow
to Sarzana; the second march will bring us to Aula
to that close dele of the al de agra, which is il
itself formidable position, and which the Duke O
Modena had fortified against all comers but whicl
he fors0ok before its strength was at all put to tn
test; the third day will bring us no nearer to ou
goal thaS Terrarossa. There is not more than
couple of miles between the two places but the for

Teverone, which the Duke of Modeua would neve
allow to be bridged over, might cause US nfnit
trouble especially II we may judge from the delug
OF rain which spoilt our illumination last evening
and from the look of the sky, threatens new foot
to-day. In heavy rains those brawling streams ar

fifteen miles to Parma on the seventh.

his particular branch of the service, but unless h

very loud in their idolatry of the memory of thu
first Napoleon, to whom the far-famed names o
Montebello, Castglione, Tomato, and other twic
and thrice fought fields convey no meaning.
'The Prince, am told, expresses his conviction
that the Fifth Corps will operate under the walls o
Verona"
THE POLITICAL DESIGNS OF THE ALLIES
The Moniteu at length gives an official form t.
the assertion, already sedulously propagated by al
the semi-oficial organs, that the dictatorship O
various Italian States offered to and accented h
the King of Sardinia, is merely temporary and en-
tirely without prejudice to the ultimate destination
of those provinces. This paragraph is no doubt
published in pursuance of the resolution of tn
French Government, which was ventilated in Londo1
two days ago in that anomalous language upon whic
| have before rema ked, which, assuming it to b
possible that question may be partially resolved
and at the same time wholly reserved, said it wa
''decided that Tuscany should not be annexed tt
Piedmont and vet that no decision would be com
to about the settlement of Italy before the war wa
over. 1t is necessary for the sake of historical
accuracy to repeat that this is not the view whic
has hitherto been taken in Piedmont. The kint
of Sardinia has both by acts and words accepted
not the provisional dictatorship but the absolut
sovereignty of Lombardy. This acceptance ha
been repeatedly recorded in the official organ O
Turin, and the Pedmontese journals, anticpatn!
the objection that half a-dozen municipal council
lors of Milan (elected, by the way under the toer
ance of the Emperor of Austria) were incompeten
to change the sovereignty of the country fall bac
upon the pebscite of lS4S for that sanction of tn
Milanese people which would be otherwise wanting
to the arrangement Nevertheless, it will be diff
cult now for the Turin newspapers to contradic
the MOniteur. 1t is very possible that the King G
Sardinia, pressed by diplomatic considerations
may have been a COnsenting party to the insel
ton of the paragraph which appears to-day. II
deed, it seems probable enough that the "dec
sion" awkwardly alluded to in the London telt
gram, referred to the termination of conflict whic
had been going on for some time between the allie
sovereigns.
THE CONDITION OF AUSTRIA
The Vienna correspondent of the London Time,
writing June 22d, says:
''Matters have been so terribly mismanaged i
Austria during the last ten years that it will be
most miraculous if the empire escapes dissolution
In all the provinces very great discomfort prevails
and there is to fear that there will be eriou
: disturbances in some of them if change is no
speedily made in the system of government. TIL
Minister of the Interior still clings to the idea tina
the principle of strict GENERALIZATION may be mair
tanned, but the Magyars laugh him to scorn, an
openly declare that the present state of things
