The above was published in Paris on

valides announced the victory, and the
city was brilliantly Illuminated
On the following day (Monday) the
Monitem published the following des-
patches from
THE EMPEROR TO THE EMPRESS.
MAGENTA, juno 5, 1859
Yesterday our army was under orders
to march on Milan, across the bridges
thrown over the Ticino at Turbigo
The operation was well executed, al
though the enemy, who had repasscd the
Ticino in great force, offered most de-
termined resistance. The roadway was
narrow, and during two hours the Impe-
rial Guard sustained unsupported the
shock of the enemy. In the mean time
Gen Mcmahon made himself master of
Magenta. After sanguinary conflicts
We repnlsed the enemy OF every point
with loss on our side of about 1000
men. The loss of the enemy is estimated
at 10, 600 killed and wounded, and 5 1000
Austrian prisoners remained in our
hands.
TIE AUSTRIAN ACCOUNT.
! vienna, Monday, June ell 80, a. m.
A desperate combat took place on Sat
urday between the first and third Count
Clam-Gallas and Prince Lichtenstein's
corps damee and the enemy, who had
passed the Ticino in very considerable
force. The result of the contest was I'M
decided. The combat was continued on
Sunday. Our troops threw themselves
upon the enemy's ranks with ardor, and
showed valor and perseverance wor-
thy of the most glorious feats of arms of
the Imperial army Milan is perfectly
tranquil. The head quarters yesterday
were still AT Affiliate Grasso.
The following message from Vienna
had been published by the Frankfort pa
pers without any guarantee as to the au-
thenticity Of the news;
VIENNA, Monday, June g.
Through the opportune arrival of the
corps Formee of Field Marshal Clam
Gallas on the battlefield, the Austrians
were victorious after hard fight, and
the French were thrown back over the
Ticino.
The Times, in it's editorial remarks on
the subject, says 1t now seems probable
that this hard fight It's even yet undecided,
but that on the whole the French have
the best Of it.
The absence of late dispatches by way
Of Paris is not considered indicative of
French successes.
The London Advertiser says It was
rumorcd last night that tie government
had received a despatch from the British
minister at Vienna announcing an Aus
TRAN victory.
, The opinion was becoming current in
London that the victory of Magenta was
a victory in which the French were de-
feated; and their failure to occupy Nj
Ian, only twelve miles from Magenta,
strengthened this view.
The movement which preceded the
battle Of Magenta was not clearly stated
but it was previously announced that the
allies were about to cross the Ticino to
the number Of about 100, 900 men, and
it is presumed the rapid movement Of the
allied army prevented the Austrians from
completing the retreat which they had
commenced, and compelled them to ac-
cept battle on the banks Of the river.
