regular battle, but contest sanguinary and
horrible, in which every one of them
was endeavoring, on his own account, to make
the greatest havoc. The Zonaves cheered the
Bersaglieri who applauded the Zouavs with
their acclamations. The light cavalry charged
without stopping, jealous Of the glory and of
the success of the infantry. In the centre the
King, admired by all, calm in the midst of q
horrible storm of balls and bullets, directed
with uncommon ability the fray which ap-
peared to us full of disorder, and by his sa-
gacious dispositions assured the glorious sue
cess which was about to crown the valiant ef-
forts Of the allied army.
RUSSIAN OPINION or THE BATTLE. OF MAGENTA
From the lie horde, June 8. - 80
The battle of Magenta has decided many
questions, and put an end to many uncertain
ties. This victory has burst on Europe like a
clap of thunder.
A great engagement was expected, but it
was believed that we should see it advance
in the distance, and, as it were, executed be-
fore our eyes. In the opinion of the Empe-
ror Napoleon, this brilliant affair wasno doubt
a triumph sklllfully toreseen, and perseve-
ringly prepared, while to the Austrian Gen
erals it was a surprise and disaster
When Gyulai believed that the main body
of the allied forces were massed in the south,
between Alessandri and the Apprentices, all
the Franco Sandman corps, by one of the
finest movements recorded in military history,
rapidly advanced from the right flank to the
extremity of the left, and twas only at the
last moment that the Austrians perceived the
change of position, and their precipitate re-
frao cbou,, that %ho
nence of the danger which menaced them
Very little was wanting to prevent Gen. Gyu-
lai from getting out of the Lomelina at ALL
Gen. Mel, whom he supposed to be occupied
in the direction of the Lake, suddenly threw
himself on Novara, and the French army
crossed the Ticino without meeting much re-
siStance. + $3.50
Then Gen. Hess, sent in all haste by the
Emperor Francis Joseph to take the command
of the Austrian army, threw all the forces he
had under his hand-l3,0 900 men are spoken
of-on the allied columns, which debouched
by the narrow passes toward the road, which
leads from Buffalora to Milan. The shock
was terrible and the combat most sanguna-
ry. The result, stated by telegraph, is de-
plorable for humanity, but glorious for the
French arms. =, -. -

1t is credibly reported that Gen. Gyulai
has been dismissed, and Field-Marshal Hess
appointed Commander-n-C Chief. The Aus
TRANS are retiring on the AIDA, where they
will offer the allies battle.
In the Chamber at Dresden, the Foreign
Minister of SaXony had declared in favor of
war against Louis Napoleon, and the Depu-
ties, by majority, expressed the same view.
In the Dutch Parliament, the order of the
day being the question of the federal contin-
gent, Holland has to furnish in right of the
Limburg part of the Luxembourg, to the Ger
man Diets army, one of the liberal members,
NJ. Storm, member for Bredla, who was ut
terly opposed to dragging the Dutch into this
war, spoke with such energy against the bur
den thus cast on small district that he fell
back on the benches, and like Lord Chatham,
expired in the assembly. The House ad-
journed.
