who, by the bye, fought bravely-his LIST
brigade sending an orderly officer of his staff
to Marshal paraguay d'Hilliers, asking sup
port if need be. Having thus given his or
ders, he came on with his Zouayes at the
pas de charge. One battalion of Chasseurs d.
Orleans passed by, ''the light of battle on their
faces" 1t was accompanied by two battalions
of the line, commanded by Lutchef and Lacra-
telle. The shock was terrible; Lacretelle
fell dead from his horse, Major Duchef fell
dead after him; our men still advanced a Ia
bdyonaete An Austrian Colonel and 200
Croats were made prisoners. Assailed in
front by the French; broken by the impetuos-
ity of the charge Of the Sandman Monferrato
horsemen, led by the brave Gen. Morelli at
tackled on the right by the I'd brigade, and by
our artillery all along the line, the Austrians
began to retire after struggle of six hours.
AT o'clock 2. NJ. they were driven pell
nell down the hill toward Stradea on one
side, and toward Casatisma an the other, leav.
ing mounds of dead behind them. We had
won the day The Austrians were therefore
unable to force our positions, though they
were $4,000 strong, with powerful artillery,
thus outnumbering us by 5000 men. Forey's
division numbered scarcely 5000 fighting men,
and was supported by 900 Sandman horse.
You must not forget that this brave cavalry,
an hour the first shock of the enemy, thus CIV
ing time to the French to come up. The last
charge made by the Sardinians was fatal to
Col. Morelli, who fell MORALLY wounded from
his horse.
All this took place yesterday. To-day,
however, fight is ranging again on the same
fields, and | am told that Casteggio is in
flames, a fact which leads me to believe that
the Austrians had only their vanguard at Cas-
teggio yesterday; that they have to-day
brought forward their main force, and, as there
is no doubt but they will be met by the allies
with equal power the present engagement is,
or will soon become, general pitched battle.
Before late i'll the evening" though too late for
the mail, we shall know something Of the is
sues of to-day's combat. In the meanwhile,
the Austrians may choose to renew tie con-
test, but it is hardly possible for them to bring
up and unfold as many troops as the railway
from Tortona and Noghera will bring to the
Allies. Such struggle, therefore, whatever
courage and constancy the Austrians may dis
play in it, must needs, l should think, termi-
nate in their defeat. Already we know that
at Monticello the newly invented French
cannon have done most awful execution
among the enemys ranks.
The Piedmontese take the news Of battle
and even of victory exactly as the English
count their losses The fall of Colonel Morel-
Ii, Of the Montferrat Horse, who is MORALLY
wounded, has created painful sensation. Pr
ola, captain in the same regiment, is also
wounded. A painful apprehension prevails
that there will be even more grieyous losses to
lament; and hardly family but has some be-
loved one on the field. The Piedmontese
must resign themselves to the arbitration of
the God of Battles but it is impossible not to
admire their silence and gravity in the midst
of success. had occasion to praise the same
religious spirit in l04S."
A French letter says :-"It is to the press
ence of the Emperor Francis Joseph, respect
ing which there can be no longer doubt, that
we owe, as l have said above, this offensive
movement. The Emperor of Austria is ac-
companied by the General Baron Won Hess,
the best military mind in the empire. On
learning that the nights of Casteggo, which
overlook and command the two roads to Pa
ceIiza and Pavia, were not occupied, RadetZ-
skis old companion in arms declared they
must be seized at any price. The master hand
is at work, and it is no longer Count Gyulai
that commands"

ANOTHER BATTLE.-The Sandman govern
ment had issued the following bulletins in re-
gard to a Sandman victory, at another
point -
"I'min, May 21.-To-day the extreme left
of our army, under Gen. Cialdini, forced
passage over the Sesia, near Vercelli, in an adj
mirable manner. The enemy was put to
flight, leaving officers and privates as prison.

our hands,"
Turin, May 22.-Gen. Cialdini, wishing to
take possession of the end of the bridge of Yer

In order by thatmeans to protect the construc-

forward two columns, which, after having pass
ed the river, joined at the same point the>col-
umns which crossed near Sesa on the side
next Albino, was attacked by the Austrians in
great force, and sustained fierce conflict at q
place called Villata. The enemy was, howev-
er, routed, and our troops established them
selves in Borgo Verceli. The other column
crossed the Sesia near Cappucini Vecchi and,
after having surprised two companies of the
enemy, remained at that place. Our loss is
insignificant; but that of the Austrians is con-
| siderable. The Modenese, after having spiked

retreated to Givizzino."
