Rattle of Magenta.

Battle of Magenta.
The details of the battle of Magenta are
received at London and Paris very slowly,
but they do not change the first complex
ion. The losses were undoubtedly severe
on both sides.
The Austrian official accounts only ac-
knowledge from 1000 to 5000 killed and
wounded, and say that the enemy lost full
ly half as much again.
1t is reported, but not confirmed, that
General Gynlai has been dismissed, and
Gen. Hess appointed Commander-in- Chief
of the Austrian army.
1t turns out that. Gen. Canrobert was
not wounded at The battle of Magenta. All
accounts give the great glory of the day
to Gen. Mcmahon. He had no orders to
proceed to Magenta, but heard the roar of
the battle, rushed in and saved the army.
The Paris Moniteur of the 10th inst.
contains the following details of the battle
of Magenta: The concentration of our
troops on the Po deceived the enemy into
the belief that we intended to cross the
river. On the morning of the 4th 1885,
600 of the Austrians were in position op-
posite. The Emperor and the grenadier
division of the imperial guard was obliged
to fight this disproportionate odds. All
the. Generals displayed great energy in the
subsequent action. The French General
Weilmpfeln was wounded. Mesme. and
Madhurst Commanders of the grenadiers
were killed. The official bulletin describes
the operations of Gen. Mcmahon, who lost
1900 men, but put ten thousand Austri-
ans hors de combat aud made five thousand
prisoners. The Austrians had on their
side four corps d'armie. The bulletin sums
up the result of the five days since the de-
parture fsom Alessandria. Our army had
three combats, gained one battle, and fore
ed Piedmont from the Austrians, who,
since the battle of Montebello; have lost
$4,000 killed and wounded, 10000 prison
ers and II cannon. -, -. t-.fyt.,,.
The defeat of the Austrians al Magenta
is said 10 have produced an immense sens
alton in Germany. Isa.r
The correspondent of the Daily News
gives the following details: In less than
two hours the allied monarchs had de-
ployed 5000 men against the Austrians
whose force was $4,000, together with a
powerful artillery. They compelled the
Austrians to move on a most disadyan-
tageous ground as their left was soon turn
ed by General Canrobert's corps, support
ed by General Fouts division and the Aus
trians were obliged to fall on their centre
at Obbiate Grasso. The Austrian centre
being thus swelled by the routed columns
of their left wing, were soon in disorder,
and thousands fell crushed by the French
artillery. Gen. Mcmahon had now reach
ed the scene, and seeing the moment come
to break the disordered centre of the Aus
trians charged with an impetuosity seldom
witnessed, supported by Durond's division
which stood in reserve and was moving
slowly beside him. The shock was terrible
and the dead and wounded were falling by
thousands. The Austrians were finally
routed and the victory won. The same
writer says that twenty Austrians guns
were taken.
The Zouaves had seven hundred killed
and wounded. A Brigade in General Can
roberts corps was almost destroyed on the
last charge. .-4 ,....,.,
The Emperor and King were always in
the thickest of the fight. The military
men are unanimous in praise of the strate-
gic combinations Of. the Emperor.
