the demand was refused.

from near Shailitz to Juerowiz; three
flags and many prisoners We're taken.

the news is conflicting, both sides claim
ing the advantage in the encounter of
the 9th at Shallitz. No engagement is
reported as having taken place since.
The telegraph company of Great Britain
furnishes additional particulars of the
engagement at Custozza; the left wing
OF the Italians was attacked at various
points simultaneously, and crushed be-
fore the remainder of the army could
come to their aid after the battle the
! army of the Arch Duke advanced in pur-
suit of the Italian army, which up to that
time had maintained its position it was
however driven from Valegio and COM
PEELED to recross the Mincio, the Austri-
ans also recrossing that river and taking
position on the italian territory. The
two armies then stood facing each other
the Italians at Viola and the Austrians
five miles northward at Solferino-and
it was probable that all were under en-
gagement that could be brought. The
object of the Italian movement on Sat
urday was to withdraw the Austrians
from the line of Poland to allow Cialdini
to cross. The movement having failed,
Ciaidini remained on the south side of
the river. The reverses of Sunday the
gath have in no way disheartened the
Italians.
