slaughter, however, began on the oath. More
than 10000 men we're sent TO their last home

The Italian forces, the first VINO smelt gun
powder are divided in four parts-100 600 men,
commanded by Victor Emanuel, form the army
of the Mincio. Cialdini, at the head of $4,000,
is on the banks of the Pc. Garibaldi, with
10000 volunteers, is marching towards the
Tyrol. At the same time the Italian fleet which
is very powerful (under the command of Ad-
miral Persanol, is cruising 10 the Adriatic, and
will commence operations against Venice. II is
the army of the Mncio which has been the first
TO pay its debt to the country.
THE BATTLE OF CUsTozzA
Victor Emanuel, who had crossed the Mincio
on the 23d inst, was beaten by the Austrians on
the oath, the anniversary of the battle of Sol
ferino. The battle of Custozza proves that Victor
Emanuel is poor general, and that the Italians
are not, as it was thought only good to make
tenor singers and maccaroni eaters
have already said the army of the Mlncio
was divided INTO three corps. The lst Corps, com
manded by General Durando marched towards
Peschiera; whilst the I'd and Sd, under the com
mand Of Victor Emanuel, advanced, the I'd in
the direction of Goito, the Sd in that OF Mantua
The Austrians, under the command of the Arch
duke Albrecht, issued out of Verona to the num-
Der of $4,000, and 20, 900 attacked the I'd and Sd
Corps of the Italian army, Victor Emanuel
thinking he had the whole Austrian army before
him. 6O,OOO Austrians fell upon the corps COM

ditto-this is the result of the battle of Gus
to7za. This spot is fatal to the House of Savoy,
for it was in this place that Victor Ema1uel's
father, Charles Albert, was defeated by Radetsky
a few days before the battle of Novara.
However the consequences of the battle of
Custozza have not been so bad for the army OF
Victor Emanuel. He was, it is true, obliged to
eross the Mjncio, but the Italians have shown
the world that they are good soldiers.
The effect produced by the battle of Custozza
is more or less singular. In Paris funds went
up, more especially the Italian, which had not
been 30 high for very long time. Our financial
men are Austrian inclined. On the arrival of
the news OF the defeat of the Italians, several of
them demanded permission to illuminate to cele
brate the event. Monsieur Pietre, however, de-
Clned. Do those gentlemen remember that the
Italians are our allies and that fifteen thousand
sons OF France sleep on Ghe plains of Solferino?

at Nachod and Neustadt, in Bohemia, about half
way between the Prussian town of Glatz and
the Austrian fortress OF Josephstadt. The
battle is said to have lasted two days Though
we have as yet no particulars OF the same, there
apuears 10 be no doubt but that the Prussians
have asked for an armistice, which has been
refused by the Austrian General. The tactics Of
Benedek seem to be to separate the Prussian
armies of Silesia and Bohemia; that of the Prus-
slams is evidently to attack Prague, but the Aus

can tell when it will end? Will the Emperor be
