New YoRK, July 9.-The London Times
gives the following summary Of the move
ments in Venetia; -
The Italian army, divided into three corps
and q reserve, making up a force OF from
50. 900 to 90 900 com bstants, after crossing the
Mincio at Goito and other points on Satur-
dsy afternoon and sending accommodating
parties towards Peschiera and Verona, en-
camped for the night beyond Roverbella,
eaui-distaut from the two fortresses- On
the ensuing morning an attempt was made
upon the positions of Soma Campaigns and
Santa Ginestins which commands the tf-
teen-mile railway line joining the two
strongholds, position which played a con-
spico1s part in the campaign Of 1s4s.
The object of the Italians was evidently
10 take possession of the railway, so as to
isolate Beachiera, and secure basis Of op-
erations against Verona The Austrtsns,
however, who were massed in great force at
Verona sailed forth from the place at day
break, and anticipating the Italian move
ments took up their position upon those hills
which are now everywhere orisulng
With bastians and redoubtss and
NAV be looked upon as mere outworks OF
the two citadeIs, extending from the gates
Of one to those of the other. After asevere
and bloody, or SIS the Italians describe Il, q
desperate struggle, which lasted nearly the
whole day-thst longest Of summer days,
the Imperial army was victorious along the
whole line they stormed the summit OF
Mouteyento, where the Italians held out
the longest, and st the close OF the engage,
ment a Eve P. NJ, the Austrians carried
the.position Of Custozza, spot fatal 70 the
italian arms in their encounter WIN
