The following from the Paris MOn,ieur, is The moJt
explicit:
"ALrssAYDEIA, May 2l.-The Austriaus about
900 strong ettscked the advanced posts Of Marshal
paraguay dHiIlieIs. They were driven back by
General Frey's division which behaved admirably,
aud carried the Village of Mobtebello already cee
brated after q fierce combat Of four hours duration.
The PiedJnontese cavalry commanded by Gen.
Sonnaz displayed extraordinary energy. We have
made 100 prisoners, of whom is a Colonel
We have from 500 to G0O killed and wounded. Cen
eral-ofBiigade Beuret Infant y and Commandlut
Duchct are killed. Coils. .yOt de Lesplr de Belle
fonds, Copseil Dumesn, aud Commlndans Sacretelle
and de Ferussac are sounded.
This affair does great honor 20 Gen. Forey, wfo
displayed as much skill as bravery.
The Austrians are il full retreat since last evenin,
The loss of the enemy exceeds :, 600 men.
The Emperor lct to-ray for voghera and visited
the hos ptals where the Austrian wounded have been
taken with the French, and receive the same care.
telegram, essentially the as the above from
the Emperor to the Empress, posted on the Paris
Bourse on the 2lst; and the Sardinian Government
Issued q corresponding bulletin.
The folio sng is the official bulletin issued by the
Austrian Government:
"yushA May 22-On the 20th instant, Gen.
Stadioh pushed forward reconnaissance by forced
march toward Teglo and M0ntebeO, but after hot
fight with French force Of superior strength, re-
treated behind the Po."
The official austrian Correspondence, of the 2lst,
contains the following authentic communication on the
subject:
"On the Goth inst, Gen. Stadion sent out recon-
noitcrirg party to learn the strength aud position of
the enemy's right wing. The Austrians advanced
toward Tcgo and Monebeo, where they met the
enemy in superior force. After very ,ere conflict
Gen. Station drew back his troops in perfect order
to the left bank of the lo, after having however,
forced the enemy to employ his whole strength
The Vienna correspondent of The London Tunes
says that the Austrian force consisted of three brig
ades and that their loss was probably about the same
as that OF the French.
The Paris P0frie says that the troops engaged on
the side of the allies consisted of 5000 French only,
and one Sandman cavalry regiment.
The Debats says Gen. Foreys division was COM
posed of four regiments of the line and the sixth bat
talon Of Horse Chasseurs.
The Noyd alleges that the French numbered 5000
men, exclus We of the regiment of Ssrdnian cavalry
The London Times remarks that the Austrlans
evidently fought we'll for they must have carried the
town of Casteegio, which had been occupied by the
French and barIcaded, before they could have ar
rived at the village of Montebello, where they were
eventually driven. The Austlians seem to have
bee ia the drst instance successful and only to have
been driven back when the French supports came up.
