FOREIGN Farther Particulars Of the Bat
tie Of Magenta. The papers received by the
Anglo Saxon furnish some details of the bat,
tie of Magenta, which, it appears was fought
on the 4th inst. The French troops were
under orders to cross the Ticino at Turbigo.
! The Emperor, in his official bulletin says this
order was we'll executed, though the enemy
in great force offered determined resistance.
The road way was narrow, and during two
hours the Imperial Guard sustained unsup-
ported the shock Of the enemy. Meantime
Gen. McMahon made himself master of Ma
genta, and after the most sanguinary conflict
tn. enemy was repulsed at every point. 1t
is said that the Austrians in the precipita-
ton of their evacuation of Milan, left their
cannon and treasure behind. The Emperor
says the troops have captured $4,000 Aus
TRAN muskets. The Austrian official bulle-
tin says: The conflict was desperate between
the LIST and Sd army corps, and the enemy in
considerable force The contest was undeci
ded and continued on Sunday. Our troops
threw themselves on the enemy with ardor
and perseverance worthy Of the most glorious
feats of the imperial arms. A Vienna dis
patch, unofficial, in the Frankfort papers, says
that through the opportune arrival of Count
Dair Gallos and his corps, the Austrians
were victorious after a hot fight, and the
French thrown back over the Ticno. The
movements which preceded the battle of Ma
genta are not clearly stated, but it was previ
ousy announced that the allies were about to
cross the Ticino to the number of 100000
men, and it is presumed the rapid movement
of the allies prevented the Austrians from
accomplishing the retreat which they had
commenced, and compelled them to accept
battle on the banks of the river. The Lon
don Post says that Gen. McMahon was rails
ed on the battle field to the rank of Marshal.
The Paris correspondent of the Post says

but did not command in person. There is
report that Gen. Canrobert was MORALLY
wounded, and that five French marshals or
generals were wounded. Tho Patrie says
that Marshal B. D. Killers was removed
from his command and replaced by Gen. Fo-
ray. Our readers will observe that, as usual,
both parties claim the victory.

inst, says there were $1,000 Austrians en-
gagged, of whom 10000 were placed Aor, du

Imperial Sandman Guards were attacked by
the Austriaps and, unable to advance, were
alone opposed,to the masses Of the enemy,
which they successfully resisted. The Zou-
ayes and Guerillas lost and retook their
position, when Gen. Neil assumed tho Of
fensive and made an irresistible advance
upon the enemy with his division. The
Austrians made nm attempt to surprise the
right wing Of the Allies, which was rendered
Intellectual through the exertions Of Gen
Mcmahon. The conflict relaxed for mo.

fury Gen. Mcmahon was triumphant and

troops had, according to orders, evacuated
Milan on Sunday, the public functioaaries
