says the right wing # the army occupied
Assolongo. Salferino. and Cariana, the lef,
wing marched on the oath to Snid,zzola and
Casgiffends, and repulsed the advancing
enemy on all Sides
As the Imperial army con ntinued its ad
vance towards the Chese, the enemy who
had also assumed the offensive, with his
whole force pushed toward such large
bodies Of troops that there was general
engagement between the two armies. At
10 o'clock, or thereabouts, on the morning
Of the oath, the right wing which was form.
ed on the second army under Count
Schlick, maintained the position which il
had originally occupied in the first line ot
battle until 2 p. m, and the left wing un-
der Count Winpfen continually gained
ground in the direction Of the Chiese -
Towards 3 O'Clock the enemy made vehe-
ment attack on Salferino. and after several
hours hard fighting obtained possession Of
the place. which had been heroically de-
Tended by the 5th corps de armie. An at.
tack was then made on Csvrianns. which
place was courageously defended until
evening, by the lst and 7th corps de aymie,
but was eventually LETT in the hands of the
enemy, while the struggle for Salferino and
Cavrinna, was going on
The 8th corps de armie which was on the
outer flank right, advanced and repulsed
the Sandman troops opposed to it, but this
advantage did not enable the Imperial ar
my to recover the position that had been
lost in the center.
The Cd and 9th corps de armie which
were supported by the lth corps. were en-
gagged on the left wing, and the reserve
cavalry attached to this wing made several
most brilliant attacks.
Unusually heavy losses. and the fact that
the left wing Of the lst army was unable to
make progress on the right flank Of the
enemy who directed his main force in the
center against Volta, led to the retreat oi
the Imperial Royal Army. 1t began late
in the evening during very violent storm.
The correspondence of the London Her.
aid says, so little did the French expect q
battle that on the previous night message
from the King asking for support in case
he should be attacked was met with . re-
fusal on the ground that an attack by the
Austrians was moi. probable.
At day beak, however, the corps Of Mar
shalD Hilliars came in sight Of Salferino,
and was Immediately set upon by . large
Austrian force, which rushed do wn the hill
and fought with the greatest fury. The
Marshal resisted the attack to the best oi
bis power, and sent off his aid-de camp for
support. but It was not before three hours
Of frigbtful carnage had elapsed, that the
corps of Gen. Neil had made its appear

The Austrians were elowly driven back
and every now and then th-re vas pause
and the French continued to gain soldiers.

enemies corpses marking the Auxuations OF
the fight.
The Austrians we're thus slowly driven
out Of Sa.ferino, but al Of sudden they
made tremendous burst forward and the
French we're driven down the hill. How !

once more to advance. It was like hail
