The steamer City of Washington arrived at

o'clock. From the English papers that come
by this steamer we take the following addi-
tional and more complete account of the fight
ing in Italy =
The BATTLE OF MoNTEBELLo.-The bulle-
tin published at Paris, in the Moniteur, was as
follows
"Alessandrld, May 21.-The Austrians,
about 1900 strong, attacked the advanced
posts of Marshal paraguay d IIilliers. They
were driven back by General Forey's division,
which behaved admirably, and carried the vii
lage of Montebello (already celebratedl after
fierce combat of four hours duration.
The Piedmontese cavalry, commanded by
Gen. Sonnaz, displayed extraordinary energy.
We have made 200 prisoners, one of whom is
colonel
We have from 500 to 600 killed and wound
ed. General-ofBrigade Beuret Infantry and
I Commandant Duchet are killed. Coils. Guyot
de Lespart, de Bellefonds, Conseil, Dumesnil,
and Commandments Sacretelle and de Ferussac
are wounded.
This affair does great honor to Gen. Forey,
who displayed as much skill as bravery. The
Austrians are in full retreat since last eve
ming. The loss of the enemy exceeds 1000
men.
The Emperor left to-day for Voghera, and
visited the hospitals, where the Austrian
wounded have been taken, with the French,
and receive the same care.
A telegram, essentially the Same as the
above, from the Emperor to the Empress, was
posted on the Paris Bourse on the 2lst and

ing bulletin.
The official report of the battle of Monte
bello, sent by Gen. Forey to Marshal Bara-
quay 'IIilliers, states as follows the circum-
stances that led to the battle :-"Being in
formed, at half past twelve this afternoon,
that strong Austrian column, with artillery,
had occupied Casteggio, and driven back from
Montebello the outstanding pickets of Pied
montese cavalry, l Immediately FASTENED up

battalions of the 74th, destined to relieve two
battalions of the 34th, cautioned along this

AS for myself, Monsieur lie Marechal, am
happy that my division has been the first en-
gagged with the enemy. This glorious baptism
which recalls one of the great names of the
Empire, will mark, hope, one of the series
signalized in the Emperors order of the day"
