THE NEWS OF THE BATTLE IN PARIS,

Nothing is said of the loss in killed and
wounded on either side but when we con-
slider that, according to the Emperor first ac-
count, the whole Austrian army was OIL the
field that the battle lasted sixteen hours
from in the morning till S in the evening
and that the two Empcrors were present, we
may be certain that it was very great. Some
thing is said of 10000 or 1900 killed and
wounded OH the side Of the French, and still
more on that Of the Austrians but believe
this is only conjecture.
The fact seems to be that the Austrins had
strongly fortified all the passes Of the Mincio
against the French, and the guns that were
taken, We're taken from these positions. Had
the French crossed, il is not improbable they
would have had to fight pitched battle, and
we have not details enough to enable us to
judge whether the object of the Austrians was
not to compel them to accept it oil their side
OF the Mincio. Reinforcements have left from
tho army of Lyons for Italy, and the vacancy
has been filled up by troops from here. 1t is
expected that another battle will have TO be
fought before the siege operations come OH.
Our information, as yet, is meagre, but the
results of the battle, SO far as we know them,
do not seem to be in proportion to its dura-
ton.
Great excitement is, of COURSE manifested
here. All the public buildings and many pri-
vate houses were illuminated last night, and
festoons Of coloted lamps hung from houses
OH the Italian Boulevards to the trees skirting
the pathway, and had a beautiful appearance,
Tie weather was very fine and very warm
Everybody was abroad. From the Madeleine
| to the Port St. Denis the crowds were more
dehce than have seen for long time. Nc
topic was thought of but the war in Italy and
the victory Just gained, the news of which
had been ushered in early in the morning by
the cannon of the Invalides. The Empress
came in to Paris yesterday with the Princess
! Clotilde to preside at Council OF Ministers
She passed along the Boulevards about five
o'clock in an open carriage, without escort Of
any kind, followed by second carriage.
There were crowds in the streets at the mo.
ment, but conclude that the people were
not aware ii was the Empress, as there were
no cries. This day many houses are decorated
with flags and streamers.
