Paris, May 24, 1869, The Mcnileur this morning contains an oflivial report of Goneral Forey, Ist division First Corps d’Armee, trans- mitted by Mare! aay d?Hilliers. This report, ‘which reiates to the battle of Montebelio, is as followa:— Vocnera, May 20—Mipsicut. Morsirvr uz MAREcuAt1—I have the honor of giving you ‘an account of the battle fought this day by my diviaion. Being swformed, at halt-past twelve tnis afternoon, thet S strong Auswiap columa, with artillery, hed occupied Oasteggio, and driven back from Montebello the outstan 1- ing pickets of Piedmontese cavairy,I immediately has. tened up to the front, by the Montebello road, with two ‘Dattalions of the 74th, destined to relieve two battalions ef the 84th cantoned along this road in front of Voghera, en the Madura eminence. Meanqhile, the rest of my division took up arms, anda peered artillery (the 6th of the 8th Regiment) march. at its head. Arriving at the bridge thrown across the brook called Foasagazza, the extreme limit of our front posts, I caused ‘& section of artillery to be placed in battery, supported on the right and left by two battalions of the Eighty-fourth, Mining the baer ‘er their te cede During this time the enemy pushed on from Monte . belio to Uinestralo, and having been informed that he was coming against me in two colamns—one by the high road, ‘the other along the tramway—I ordered the leit battalion @f the Seventy-fourth to cover the causeway at Cascina Muova, and to advance along the ‘at of the road, behind the Eighty fourth. movement was hardly over when a brisk fire along the whole line was opened between our sharp shooters ‘and those of the enemy, who was marching upon us, and supporting his sharp shooters by the heads of the columns iseuing from Ginestrello. The artillery opened fire upon them successfully, tne enemy replying to it. I then ordered my right to move up to the front. The enemy retired before the ardor of our troops, but per. eviving that I had only one battalion tothe left of the road, be sent @ strong column against it. Thanks to the Yigor and firmness of this vattalion, commanded by Col Cambriels, and to some fortunate charges of the Pied mentese Cavairy, admirably led on by General de Sonnaz the Avstrians were obliged to retire. we At this moment, General Bianchard, followed by the 98th ond a battalion of the Slat (the two others were at Oriole, where they have had an engagement) rejoined me, and received orders to proceed to tre relief of the bat- talion of the 74tn, charged with the defence of the tram- way, and to take up a strong position at Cascina Nuova. jured on this side, I agaih threw forward mny right, and took, not without seri resistance, the position o Ginestrello. sagging, thea, that by foliowing with tho Duik of the infantry the line of hill tope, and the road with my artillery protected by the Piedniontese cavalry, should the more easily capture Monte! columps of attack under oy Boaress ‘comnaad, this way: pported by the sith y— ie buat a and 74h, in éeolons, moved on towards the south side of Montebello, where the enem:; bevel , y had entrench. ‘end tohand combat then ensued in the streets fhe village, which bad to be carried house after house, is Wan during this ght that General Bouret was mortally ‘wounded by my side, After an obstinate resistance, the Austriaus wero forced bo yield to the vigor of our troops, and although strongiy ensenched in churchyard, this position they saw snateied from hem at the potot of tho bayonet, ami orice or “ Five Y ‘Empereur,” a thousand times rey, eated. 1 was then bal past six: I deemed it prudent not to pas the so."cess of the day any farther, and halted my ‘oops behing the rising ground on which the churchyard Jn situated, covesing the brow with our guns and namer- our sharp aocters, who ‘WUEODB ‘Ato Onateggio. 1 of eur troops this day; all the ps ya umes of those who have particularly distinguished great, im oe Proximatively at 600 or 700 men, killed or wot fone On an important miesion connected with the of a French of the Adriatic, truth of’ this report, whicn may turn out to be iacorrect to-morrow, Shears y alter this I saw the Austrian columns evacuate Cap: per he cota ee rear guard, and they retired cabot adequately praise, M. lo Maréchal, the energy officers, officers and oo ‘each other in ardor. will T for- Get Ube officers of my staff, who have ably assisted me. ‘shall have the honor of addressing to you later the them. 1 do not yet know the exact amount of our loss; it ie ior officers.

INCIDENTS oF a, (Correspondence the lon News. t — Tun, May 21, 1859. The first victory has been won—may it be a good one for the allied armies, This morning, as I was returning from Osti, I gleamed some important details, which, I am happy to say, enable me to give you a fair, ifnot a com- plete, description of the batiie which was fought yester- day, and which will be recorded in the annals of the pre- Bent str uggie as the battie of Montebello. Since Thureday night it had our camp that the Emperor of Austria had arrived st Pavia, in company with the Field Narshal Hess. Our informants, who had come from Argino to tha head- quasters of Marehal Baraguay d’Hilliers through the »urby pathe of the Casitizma country, bad also reported thai a great dea! of warlike bustle and marching had been voticed in the Austrian camp, near the bridge of Ia Hella. The telegraph has informed you tbat on Thursday an Aus- trian corps com'ng from Stratelia attacked the position of Costepgio, chiefly defended by the people of that place. After a brillisnt stand made by Piemontese cavalry, in which Capt. Piola was shgbtly wourded, the ausirians were objiged to retire As 800n a8 Marebal Baragnay @’Billiere got wind of the fact that the Austrians were plotting mischiet fer nex’ day, he gave his orders to Gen. Forey to be on bis guard with his division. This distin- guished officer moved bis jorces, therefore, in the direction of Montebello, as it was thought that, after the re:reat of Thureday, the enemy would perbaps again attack the ad- vanced guard of our army. ‘You will not have forgotten, that from the time of the Gallic and Punic wars down to the last great European contlict Montebello and Casteggio have been important military positions. This last mentioned place was be- aieged by Hannibal, who did not really conquer it, but booght it from Pablius Dariue. A remarkable memorial of the Carthaginian General still existe—a spring of very pure water, calied by immemorial tradition “ The Fon- ‘ana d’sppibale.” It wi near Casteggio that on the 9th of June, 1800, the great battle between the French and the Austrians was fought. This battle, 20 wonderfully desoribed by Thiers, is usually called the Battle of Montebello, from the village where the French finally routed the corps de reve of the enemy. Fifty vears ago the fortune of the day was there decided by Victor: yesterday it was decided by the bold sssavit of Genera! Beuret; who paid with his life the victory obtained by the Forey division, a brigade of which he commanded, and by the Sardinian cavalry un- der the orders of Colonel De Sonnaz. ‘At 11 o'clock yesterday 16,000 Austrians, under the or- been rumored in Piedmontese position of Montebello, which were occupied by 800 Saramian horsemen supported by two batteries, The Austrian were marching in ech+lons, their right wing bent in the direction of Brandwzzo, their left flank, snp- ported by a Jarge artillery, on Onsona, whilst their colwons of attack of the centre advanced, by Piazale, to- warcs our lines of Mootebeilo. ‘AB £00n #8 General Forey wag roused by roll after roll of musketry on the left,and by the sharp report of Aus. trian ond Piedmontese guog, he marched with tne second brigade of dis division in the direction of Montebsite to sopport the Piedmontese cavalry, which by this time had already advanced to meet the enemy. The battle of Montebello scarcely admite of description, Tt was a reries of dreaafu) deeds of daring, hand to hand fights, of sangvinary encounters, of desperate charges and assaults, The sbells avd bullets of the Austrians buret 82 thickly among our troops that our centre, already en- gaged, was obliged t6 fall back on the right of our lines, retirl: g from Moptebe)lo, protected by a ravive filied with brushwood, which descended towards the main road of Vegber Ta Generid Ihteses Sehiest hie nent to support our cen- tre, it was obrerved that a body of the enemy nat gained the top of a billy ground behind the French division on our right. A deadly volley was poured into them, and, protected by the‘fire, both Piedmoniese and French cams ovt from the ravine and went boldly to meet the enemy. The effect of the now French guns, carrying their builots toa distance of more than two English miles, was #9 rest that the ceptre of the Austrians was svoa obliged ¢2 Fail back on 1s reserve, and Montebello wan. again ‘occu By thie time the third and fourth bri. gades of General Forey’s division had reacned the scone of the action. This distinguished officer had ieft in sap- port of a email band ofthe national guard—who, by the bye, fought bravely—bis tiret brigade, sending an orderiy cfficer of bis staff to Marsha! Baraguay d’Hiiliers, aeking support if need be. Having thus given his orders, he came on with his Zoaves at the pas de charge. One’ battalion of Chasseurs @’Oriaans rusbed by, ‘the light of battle on their faces.”” It was accompanied by two battations of the line, com- manded by Duchef and Lacretelie. The shook was terri- pie; Lacretéiie fell dead from his borse, Major Dachef fell dead efter him; our men still advanced a la bayonetle. AD Avstrian Coloue! and 200 Croats were made prisouers. Ag- sailed mn front by the French; broken by the impetuosity of the cbarge of the Sardinian Monferrato light horsemen, Jed by the brave Colonel Morelli; attacked oe the right by the Second brigade, and by our artillery all along the line, the Aust began to retire after a struggle of six hours. At five o’ciock P. M. they were driven petl meil dowa the bills towarcs Stradeila on one side, anc towards Cugatisma on the other, leaving mounds of dead bebind them.; We had won the day. [he Austrians were therefore unable to force our positions, thong they were 15,000 strong, Wi'h & powerful artillery, thus outoumbering us by 6,(00 men, Forey’s division numbered ecarcely 8,000 fighting men, and was eupported by 900 Jardinian horses, You must not forget that this brave cavalry, led by young Coonel De Sonnez, sustained for an hour the firat shock of the enemy, thus giving time fo the French to come up. The last charge made by the Sardinians was fatal to Colonel Morelli, who fell mortally wounded from his horse. Beeides this lose, we have to deplore 200 dead aud 800 wounded. Amongst the last the names of Colonels Griot, Les Barre, De Bellefonds, Dusmeuil, and Major Fervesat, all French superior officers, are to be noticea, General Forey and the Sardinian cavalry colonel, D3 Sonnez, behaved nob'y. It is imposaible to ascertain the logs sustained by the enemy, because the official report hag not pet arrived in Turin,’ According to the accounts of my informant, the Austrians havo lost 1,500 man, dead and wounded, to say the least. It bas been notio-d that their men coud not stand the tmpetuosity of the Zouaves’ and Charseurs’ bayonets and of Sardinianswords As as they were agsauited by the deadly weapons they always driven pell metl from thelr positions, and the vil. lage of Montebello was thus taken and retaken thrice during the action. I make no pretension whatever to send you a correct description of the battle. As I have already said, this brilliant oxploit admits of no descrip. tion; it ig only a sketch that I present to your readers, Now that the Austrians have left Vercelli and Tortona, we have the full details of their barbarous exploits. It wou!d occupy tome columns of your paper were I to re- cord the endless list of their atrocities. What is moro shameful is, that these outrages of Croate*and Lancers and Bohemian Torantey wore encouraged by generals and officers. At Vercelli the chief of the Austrian commissa. rait actually stole a carriage avd two horses belonging to Count Mela. The poor coacbman who had driven him to Mortara thought it was his duty to remonstrate. He was threatened with the bastinado. The coachman then asked to have bis cloak restored to him, and the answer was “ Mant/Uo star buono per mio domestico”® (the cloak will be oseful for my servant). You would scarcely believe that the Austrian official bad the impudence to write to Count Mela thanking bim for the carriage he had thus stolen. An old int of the farm Azavecchia, belonging to a Signor Larghi, was shot by a Croat because he could not move quickly enough. A boy, fifteen years old, has been subjected to the bastinado at a'place called the Capruocini, in the neighborhood of Verceli!. The poor led has been removed to the hospital, and there is but little hope of gav- ing bis life, At Calcolabio, a small hamlet, three Engfish miles from Voghera, a young girl has been violated by an officer belorging to the U; 1 Croat regiment. The poor creature could not stand the shame of the Slavonic bru- tality and threw herself into a well, out of which she has been taken half dead. The beputiful country house of Marqois Cusan{ Botto Adorno has been plundered and de- vastated at Branduzzo. The valuable gallery, one of the finest in Lemellina, has been all destroyed tothe laet Bice ture. A famous Madonna of Leonardo is thus lost to the artistic world. At Pizzale,a village near Voghera, the church baa been plundered, and men and women barba- rously wounded by the Austrian sharp shooteos, screened inaravine. Every bushel of corn, every rack of flour pied by our men. has been taken away, and every cask of wine emptied and wasted, the poor peasants being thus left starving and helpless. If we were to believe our reporters, who came yester- dsy from Gyulai’s headquarters of Mortara, the right wing of the Austrians, the Emperor Francis Joseph ar- rived yestorday at Garlasco, between Pavia and Mortara, on the right bank of the Ticino. His Majesty was accom: panied by General Hess. It seems also that (be Austrian General Benedick is dead from s wound ho got in the af- fair of Vercelli. The Emperor of the French went yester- éay, only attended by an aid de.camp, to tuapect the fa- mous battle field of Marengo. This morning he has gone to Voghera, to visit the men wounded during yes- terday’s hard fight. If I am correctly informed, Leu. tenant-Colonel Marchers has just left Genoa on his way to Toulon.

After an interval of fifty-nine years the village of Montebetlo for the second time gives its name to a glorious feat of arms. General Forey’s success ainst the troops of General Stadion has led to the entire retreat of the Austrian line, the extreme left of which bas now recrorsed the Po by the bridge of Stella While we were beating the enemy at atebello, General Cialdini, with a Piedmontese d@'armée, succeeded im forcing the pasasge of the before Vercelli, after @ desperate combat, which terminated tail similar consequences for the Austrian right wing ‘an that of Montebello did for the left. They will now, in all probability, evacuate Lomellina by way of Buffalora, ubless they should be disposed to risk a second battle at Novara, under circumstances very different indeed from those of the first. The probable consequence of these two combats, #0 glorious for France and her ve allies, will be the immediate evacuation of Pied: by the Austrian army. It was said that Garibald! is to attack the enemy at ‘Arona on La Maggiofe that is to say, on extremity of his line; but we bow learn that the Augtrians have abandon- ed the neighborbood of the lake. After such events as these, which have filled every heart in Paris with Joy, it is curious to read the comments of a professional Jourval, the Military Gazette of Vienna. This journal re- Presented the Austrian army ag being firmly established at Vercelli with the firm intention of holding that well se- lected position, and PRbrgeag to the last extremity.” It ‘was only on May 18 that this resolution was publish- ed in Vienna, and now, on May 22, we know that the Austrians Led Mme ge Mey ales Kecmnd to a the pastege of the ia by the mont army. is signal diecomfiture of the Military Gasete conveys & lesson by which the journals of belligerent countries would do well 10 profit—namely, that it is dangerous to make pro- phecies about military operations. The Patric is not 20 cautious as the Pays, for it evi- dently agsumes a defeat of the French to be’ impossible. Wt exclaims, “This is the first victory, because it is the Hret battle.” It treate the assertion of the Austrian des- patches thatthe French were superior in numbers as “evidently false,” but adds that “such subterfuges havo in all times been resorted to by the vanquished.”” General Beuret, whore death at Montebello is recorded by the Moniteur, commanded the first brigade of General Forey’s divigion, composed of the 74th (nox 73d) and 84th Yne regiments. He fought with distinction in the Crimea, where he was Colonel of the 89th regiment, and he was promoted tothe rank of Brigadier Geveral on January 10, 1855. He afterwards commanded a brigade in the army of Paris, The bloody nature of the combat at Monte- bello may be inferred from the fact that, besides the lost of one brigadier general out of two, no leas than threo out of ay four colonels in General Forey’s brigade were wounded A vote in the Patric states that the Sardinian Minister in Paris has agreed with the Cabinet of the Tuileries upon measures for the protection of Tuscan commerce. eo Prevch government taker the maritime flag of Tuscany under i's protection, and, if we are well informed, the French navy has already found an opportunity of execut- ing Admiral Hamelin’s orders on thie ewdject. ‘The Ami dela Religion, which, in itg number of the ‘2st, had stated that a rupture was iraminent between France and Bavaria, publishes, in a supplement, the fol- Hi dae “communicated note” from the Minister of the er “The Ami dela Religion apnounces that the Bavarian minister bad received orders from his government to hold himself in readiness to quit Paris, and“tbat he had de- manced bis passports, This journal adds that a ruptare between France and the court of Munich appears to be imminent.

The Avstriang seam to have been in the first instanee #uccess/ul, aud only to have been driven back when the French suyports cam up. P) Pine Dimes isperages the battle of Montebello, calling it ‘® tenth rate victory. It rays that the war will involve constant drain of men and money, with hed battle: ano long sieges, and this is perbaps what it will not lon; encure. ‘The Times does not allude tothe Emperor Napoleon’ views rerpecting the independence of of Itziy, but accuse him of having sold himself to the demon of military con quest. [From the London Post, May =) The fighting has at length began. On Friday fifteon thourand Austrians, advancing from Stradella, attacked part of the corps of Marsbal Baraguay d’Hilliers at Cas- | teggio and Montebello. They were resisted and beaten back by the division of General Forey, with a loss of two hundred prisoners. Their own loss in killed and wound- ed is not known, but 6 that of the French alone (ex. clusive of the Sardinians) ameunts to five hundred, it bas probably been considerable. In the combat, which lasted four hours, the Piedmontese cavalry, it is said, eigpalized themeelves by their energy and bravery. They charged the enemy six times, driving them back on Stra- della, and compelling them to recroes the Po at the bridge of La Stella. ¢ Sardinians, we have since learned, fol- Jowed up their successes on the following day; for we learn that on Saturday the division of General Cialdini forced the paseage of the Sesia, near Vercelli, driving the Aostrians before it, and taking prisoners, arms and am- | munition. The Austrians are said to be in fall retreat along tbe whole line. ment, though the Austrians It is evident that this en; for the moment appear rather in the character of assail- ants, bas been the result of the cbange in the position of the French Ist and 3d army corps, which had pushed on as far as Tortona—indeed, even further—ciearly with the view of intercepting the Austrian retreat to Piacenza or to Lombardy. Whether voluntary or forced, the attack last Friaay on Casteggio shows the advantage of the course pursued by the aliies—an advantage still greater if, as may be fairly presumed, it has hastened the Austrian roe- treat. + Though it would be absurd to form any conclusion about the relative chances of success from the cautious movements and patient strategy of the hostile armies, it bas already transpired that a considorable difference of opis jon had existed at Vienna respecting the entire pian of the campaign. It is stated that on the very day of this engagement the Emperor Fraacis Joseph ar- rived at Milan, and left immediately for Pavia, attended by General Hess. The previous movements of the Aus- trian army are believed not to bave met with the appro- val of the veteran strategist—by far the greatest tactician in the Austrian service, and the general to whose arrange- ments the 5 ly and eu ‘ul termination of the cam- paign of 1849 has been commonly ascribed. Should Count Gyula find himself practically superseded in the command by this far abler and more experienced officer, we of a Fabian policy. General Hess is not the man to risk the fate of bis master’s empire ona single battle: it is far more probable that we shall see the army of Francis Joseph falling back and taking up the old, well-known and formidable position between Verona, Mantua and Peschiera, Still, it appears highly probable that not many days will elapee before we receive intelligence of some it much more important than that in which Generet Forey bas just reaped his laurels. But Austria is evidently commencing ® new diplomatic campaign, to which she looks forward with even greater bope than to her mili- tary efforts. Her new Foreign Minister, Count Rechberg, represents the ‘thorough’ of the Prince Felix warzenberg’s political system, and will leave no stone unturned to engage whole Germanic Confede- ration in active co-operation for the defence of the Austrian power in Italy.

[From the London News, May 25.) The battle of Montebello iv a worthy opening of tho Italian campaign of 1869. At first it seemed probable that it it might prove a mere aftair of outposts; but it to bave been @ serious engagement. seeing 2 fuller information which has come to hand since * the advanced posts of the allied army, consisting of 800 Sardinian horse, supported by two batteries, occupied a pesition near Montebello, on the great road between Ales- fandria ad Piacenza,and five miles eastward of V The division of General Forey, consisting of four brigades of about 9,000, formiog part of Baragvay «’Hilliers corps d’asmée, lay a short distance be- bind. Suddenly, about eleven o’clock on Friday morning, an Austrian division of 15 000 men was seen advanciug in echelon from the eastward. It was in three columae, and led, some say, by Count Stadion; others, by Baron Zobel. Its right was in advance of its left, and stretched to- wards Brandozz0, a vil age about two miles northeast of Casteggio; its centre was the attacking force, whilst ite left, supported by a powerful artillery, advenced along the great road. By which road the attacking force came dones not clearly appear; but according some accounts it was from Stradella, seven or cight miles eastward of Casteggio; nor indeed does it appear whether it passed through village before it joined battle. However, on they came, and at once fell upon the Sardi- pian cavalry, under Colonel de Sonnaz, who with his 800 men bad to make head against an overwhelming force. At first, the French General, thinking it & mero re- connoissance, advanced with only 500 men, but finding that there were 15,000, with cavalry and ariillery, be bed on his firat brigade, and directed the otber two ty Ge lesving his second brigade, with some of the National Goard, in reserve. In time a desperate struggle had engued. For an hour, jt is said, young Colonel de Sonnaz, with his brilliant cavalry, sustained the shock of the enemy. But even after the arrival of the first French reinforcements the battle did not slacken. Future letters must reveal the Cg wd story of thoee deeds of daring—those hand to band fights—those bloody encounters and desperate charges, which will render this battle memorable. Tue attack was obstivete; the numbers were unequal; avd 80 thickly did the shot and shell fall upon the centre of the allies that they were compelled to retire. Just as General Beuret was leading on bis men to the attack the mean- an attemzt was made to turn the allied right— but im vain. The Austrian centre, assailed by the allies in front, and broken’ by the de- structive fire of the new Imperial artillery, fell back, 80 that the allies reocoupied their ground. But in the mean- time General Yorey had arrived. With his Zousves, his Chagseurs «’Orteans, and two battalions of the line, the General Cashed against the enemy, while the light horse- men of Muvotferrato, under Colonel Morelli, charged in flank second brigade assailed the right, and the artil- lery poured a destructive fire, The attack was irresisti- ble; and so the Austrians, about five o’clock in the after- oon, a/ter #ix hours’ hard Sighting, began to retire. They divided themselves into two bodies—the one retiring cast- ward on Stradelia,the other northward on Casatisma. In short, the day was won: and if it be true that a victory of Montebello was intended to inaugurate the arrival of the Austrian Emperor at Pavia, his Majesty msy, perhaps, be coneoled py the reflection that, like himeelf, two Kursian Princes came to witness Inkermann end met with the same fate. Every one remembers the famous despatch of a French Marshal, in which he de- soribed a defeat as“ Une reconnaissance poussée wn peu trop loin,” and the Austrian General seems to have adopt- ed the same formula. But people will nevertheicas con- tinue to call things by their right names. A battle has indeed been gained’, but tho loss was se- vere. Qolonel Morelli fell mortally wounded from his horse after the day was nearly closed. General Beuret waa killed by a spent ball at the close of the action, and other officers of rank in the French army fell in the thick of the fight. In fact, the allies admiia loss of 500 killed and wounded, whist the loes of the Austrians is still un- known. Such was the battle of Montebello; and its importance is not trifling. Though the accounts are chiefly from tbe allied side, it is clear that their num. bers were greatly inferior, and thet they fought with brilliant and steady courage. Prestige is everything to an untried army, and this is now established. “What- ‘ever is done by the Italians seems to show that they aro | determined to sacrifice their all for ths sake of iadepen- that they champions dence, and ther Bave undertaken. For in estimating the eacrificos whizb the Italians, and amongst them Victor Emmaauel, are ed to make for the liberation of the country, comps peror. Unity of command is the first essential of suceers, but in the case of Aliies it is the last thing attained. In this Italian war it is al conceded. The result seems to be that the extreme ri of the allies is now at Castepgio, which they are fortifying, so that south of the Po the Austrians have scarcely 2 man upon Sardi- Qian territory. About seven miles north of the Po, and twelve milos west of Pavia, Garlasco is occupied as the Austrian headquarters, and no doubt there are smail pat- ties thrown out in front towards the Po. Again, at Mortara the Avs‘rians are in some force, for, accord. ing to a furin telegraphic despatch of Monday, they had appeared in great force on the Sesia, at Palestro, a town ten miles northwest of Mortara, and five miles southeast of Vercelli. However it is clear that, west of the Sesia, there is not an Austrian soldier. Whilat the French movements have cleared the country south of the Po, Gen, Cialdiui has cleared the country about Vercelli, and even the left bank of the Sezia, by brilliant flank attack. Sardinian territory, therefore, is to a great ex- tent relieved from the enemy; and now that Garibaldi, having crossed at the foot of the Lago Maggiore, stands in Lombardy itself with his four thousand men, the Austrians must either concentrate their detacbments or send a force to attack and bim. The fact that Garibaldi has crossed the Ticino shows that the Auetrians have not so large a number of troops ag to occupy the whole course of that river; it will ena- bie the Allies to collect most useful information as to the best places at which the Ticino can be crossed, and the works which bave been constructed on its banks; and already the people of Vareeo have geized the opportunity to raise the standard of revolt. Moreover, without wenk- ening the main body of the allied army it will disquiet the Austrians in their flank, compel them to detatch a certain force to protect themselves, and thus weaken their main army. THE SARDINIAN YICTORY AT VILLATA, ‘The Sardinian government had issued the following bul- Teting in regard to a second battle:— Tory, May 21, 1859.
