were many officers. The losses sustained by the
Austrians were very considerable. Altogether

Naval Engagement ON the LsgO di Garda.
| A letter to the London Daily Ne,os, dated at
| Desenzane, June %, says:-
"This morning, between seven and eight
| o'clock, the first cannon shots were fred-three
signal guns discharged from the fortress OF
| Peschiera. Already, several hours before CIV
| inc this notice, the authorities at Peschiera had
| despatched couple of gunboats towards the
| Island of Garda, lying off the sourhern horn of
| the Bay of Salo, and at about IL A. M. Others
| were sent up the lake from Peschiera to JON
| them. Soon after noon the inhabitants Of
| the village of Portese, hamlet lying in q
| commanding situation between Desenzano and
Salo, we're startled by hearing lively cannoaade
| proceeding from the direction OF the lake.
Happening to be passing, through Por-
| tese at the moment, l hastened to
| the nearest point whence an extended view
| of the lake could be obtained, and beheld
| the four Austrian gunboats actively engaging
| with the small fortress of Maderno, situated at
the extremity of a small tongue of land running
| out into the lake, and forming the noIthern horn
! of the Bay OF Salo. To get from the village of
Portese to our point of view had occupied as less
| than quarter OF an hour, but In that time the
| eunboats had retired nearly two miles from the
| trst position which they had taken up, which was
estimated by an eyewitness at two miles from
| the tort OF MadernO The fortress, which mounts
twelve heavy Cavalhi guns, carrying from three
to four miles, was luckily garrisOned by several
| companies OF 32d regular artillery regiment, and
| the guns made such good practice that the
| enemy's gunboats very soon seemed to have had
enough of it, and retired towards the Austrian
| shore of the lake.
"Between j and 2 p. NJ. larger paddle
| steamer-the Hesse or the Francis Joseph, both
| of which carry eight guns-was seen approach
ing at full speed from the direction OF Peschiera.
| At the sight OF her we, who we're on the look
| out, had little doubt but that the engagement
would be renewed, and, gazing alternately at the
fort and the gunboats, we anxously looked for the
white puff of smoke which proclaimed the dis
| charge of the guns about one hundred seconds
before the sound reached us. For about an hour
| longer the four gunboats, in company with
| the neWly.arriVed war steamer, as If uncertain
| what to be after, hovered about opposite the
| fort, taking good care to keep we'll out of shot,
| and continually huggng the Austrian shore:
| At length making up their minds that she did
not ike it, the four gunboats, following the lead
| OF the steamer, turned tail, and made OH In a
| southerly direction towards Peschlera. AS the
five vessels passed our lookout place, at dis
tance of about six miles-the lake Is on an ave
| rage about seven miles in breadth-it appeared
70 us as il the steamer was taking in TOW one OF
the gunboats, which seemed to have been dis
abled."
