FLORENCE, June 28.-At the battle
of Custozza the Austrian forces num-
bered 10000. The first army corps
reserve, ON the heights to the left of
Valleggio, held in check an over
whelming number of Austrians, be-
fore which Gen. Crano had been
forced to retire. Bixion's division and
the cavalry of the line protected the
retreat of the army, which was effected
in good order The Haameli division
took prisoners an entire battalion of
Chasseurs. The Italian cavalry had
several engagements with the Aus
trians, who suffered severely; and the
3rd army corps took about 1000 pris-
oners. The Italian losses are great,
but those of the enemy are believed
to be still more considerable. The
italian cavalry did not abandon their
position, nor were they overcome, un-
til after the enemy had received rein
forcements. Towards nightfall both
the Italians and Austrians retired
from their respective positions.

of the unprecedented hot weather

seeing no one but Gen. Grant, who
called to pay his respects previous to
leaving town.

morrow send to Congress a message,
accompanying veto, on the new
Freedmen's Bureau Bill recently
passed by both branches of Congress
The message has occupied the closest
attention of the President for the last
few days in its preparation, and will
doubtless be full and exhaustive ar
