A great battle bas been fought in the Deighborhood of Magenta, a little towa in Lombardy, on the road from Novara to Milan, distant but a few kilometrce from the left bauk of the Ticino. Five thousand prisoners and fiftem thousind Austrians killed and wounded, loudly proclaim the fact that the 4th of June was one of those days which decide the fate of a campaign, We bad enormous forces oppotei to us. A Vienna despatch of the 3d, publiched at Berlin yesterday, states that Gen, Gyulai hadjremoved his headquarters to Abbiate Grasso, in order to be able, at a given moment, woe the whole of his concentrated forces.

The despatch from headquarters, dated June 4, does not say on what points the pa: fe was effected. But these points may casily be guessed at on looking the map. Three roads load from Novara to the banks of the Ticmo. The first and moet direct goes through Cameri to | the bridge (now Lesage | of Buflslora; the second, more the north, traverses Galiate and dessende to th» ‘Ticino nearly opposite the village of Turbigo, a name already known in our military annals; the third, still more to the worth, pasees througo Cameri and Piccheton, and making @ curve, comes back to the Ticino at a point a few motres of from the road to Galiate. At the moment when our troops crorted the ficino, General Gyulai completing bis evacuation of Lomelline, had just left Garlasco, and re. moved his headquarters to Abbiate Grasso, on the left bank of the Ticino, a2 few kilometres above Buffatora. The parsage of the French army must therefore have been eflvted tight of the Austrians, who attempted to oppose it, and were, ag we know, repulsed with considerable loss. ‘This first part of the campaign will not bave founded s military reputation for Gen. Gyulai.

According lo rumor, coming froma source worthy of ettention, the French y bas on this occasion been face ‘to face with the entire Austrian force. What confirms this rumor js, that Austrian despatches, received from ‘Verona and Vienne stete that General Gy uiai had concen- trated his whole army on the other side of the Ticino. According to our calculations the Austrian forces at Mazevta must have amounted to at lcast 160,000 men. ‘The French army wae 100,000 trong. It is known that since the 4th, the operations of Gyulai’s army were directed by Baron ‘do Hess. It is, therefore, the best general of the Austrian empire who hes been defeated almost under the walls of Milan.

At the moment when the French troops crossed the Ticino Gen. Gyuiai, who wast evacuating the Lomellina, bad quitted Garlesco and transferred his headquarters to Abbiate Graseo, on the left bank of the river, a few kilo metres above Buffaiora. fhe passege of tho French army was, thorefore, effected in view of the Austrians, who endeavored to oppoee it, but were repulsed with considerable loss. That took place on Friday, and as the advance of the French and Piedmenteee troops had evidently, from the simultancousness of tucir late movements, been skilfully prepared beforehand, and formed part of a regalar strategioal combioa tion, we msy suppose that the allied troops, immediately on tho banks of the Ticino becoming free hurried forward by every avaiisble passage, 80 as tho, | next day to be in as great force as possible at the oppo- | site side of the river. Tbe Austrians, on their part, sesing that their opponents wou!d march straight for Milau, had concentrated their forces to prevent them, and the con. sequence was the series of combats of which tho general results are £0 brie#y but eloquently told in the telegraphic Gespatch. It is known from late despatchss received tuat the operations of the army of General Gyulai wore dires- ted »y Baron de Hess in person; £0 that itis tho best general in the Auetrian army that has just been defeated in & battle where not fewer than from 160,000 or 170,000 men must have been engaged, the numbers being cer- tainly the greater on the Austrian side.

For tho last two days tue event was foreseen, and the great intelligence war awaited with impatience, The respective positions of the armies clearly indicated that an early engagement was imovitable.

We closed our obser. vations yesterday by saying that we could uot assert whether this great fight was even then termina. ted, and, if it were terminated, we were at a loas to tell'whether it would be known to history a3 an Auatriaa ora French victory. We can only repeat to day that the some mystery which hung over thit conflict on Tuesday enve Lopes it onthis morning of Wednesday. In the first place, we have no more telegraphic de epatcbee by way of Paris, Toe Emperor of the French is silent. The Empress, like & good wife andateu spirited women, puls the best possible face upon th matter; she makes all proper demonstations of great jo and exullution; sbe drives ia a sort of quasi-triumpha progress tbrough Paris, aud encourages the populase to rejoice. The fleworks are forthcoming, tue fligs are hupe forth from the windows, the cafés are all duly illu minutedand the public buildings are respiendent; but amid all thie out of door demonstration there is ‘‘a borrid sevnd cf ellence’? in the bureau of the Minister. Zhe Emperor of the French has paused suddenly in his communications. His recent messages had been dated from doubtful places; but now we have no more deepatches of any Kind. On Monday he dated from that very transitory place the French ‘‘headquar. ters.” When the question discuseed by all Eucope'was— ‘Where now gre the French? Have they eatered Milao’ Are they wheeling round to destroy the Austrian force concentrated at Pavia and Piacenza? Is there any foun- dation for the current rumor that the second day’s fight Went egainst them, and that they had beea driven vask acroas the Ticini?’’—while such was the general iuquiry, We got Cespatehes containing only vague phrases, and dated from “Headquarters.” These headquarter might ave been on the east or on tho west of the Licino, al Ales- eendria or at Verona. The whole point was—where was the French Emperor on Monday last?—and that he doe not yet tellus. He gives us tiveral guesses at the toss of the Austrians, and vague estimates his own casuaitics; but he does not yet tell us ia what position the Freoch army is now to be found, nor what steps he has taken to follow up his victory. We know that Milan is only twelve miles from Magenta, and that Milen is boiling with enthusiagm to welcome bim. But, unbappiy, we do nob yet know that Napoleon has advanced wo the occupation of that capital and to esjoy the triumph that awaite hin there. Instead of occupying the capital of Lombardy he bas been satieshcd with receiving seven gentlemen, who, according to their own account, swle away from the city “while the artillery of the ene. ay, could have thundered against them, and while the Austrian battaliors were ill in their’ publi “* places,” aad who weut into the allied camp to olbr the homage of the town of Milan, and to declare the state of their patriotic hearts. Now, this happened on Monday The victory of Magenta took place ou Ssturday, anda mysterious fighting endured al! day Sunday. Tae place where these seven deputies found the Emperor of the French and the King of Sardinia is not étated. We may perbapa conclude that if the French bad been actas'iy beaten aud driver across the Ticino on Sunday night these deputies would not bave ought to compromise themeelves by rendering omoge te their liberator; but, on theo hor hand, i{ the Emperor was really a victor it should have in the Castle of Milan, and not in some avonymons encampment, that he received these congratulations. Wo cannot but fear that the silence of the French telegrapis loquent. ‘he Austrian wires, oo tho other hand, certinue to give forth their cautious aud cracular sentences. They claim ictory, but they confess no defeat. One experioaca up fo this tme of the trim official necounts has been, that, if they hevo not been prodigal of information, they have, at least sober and tolerebly trathfat. Pusy tell us that on Sunday two new Austrian corps were engaged; thet the allies were still attacking, but mate | BO progress; tha’ the logs on both eides has’ been very that they bad four generals end five staif offi wounded and a major killed; ond that Mf ig | evacuated, They add, also, that the Austrians have taken meny prigoners; just as tho Emperor infocmes ‘ho Empress that he was encumbered by Lis captives, All this is probably true, and if true, it seems to indicate a eeries of conflicts on a still hotly disputed ground, with alternate vicissitudes of euccess and defeat, tka battic being probably fed on both rides by fresh troops as fast as they could “be pushed up to the point of coatost, It is at besi but @ bard struggle onwarde, ighling inch by iaca aud winning every yard of Lombardy’s soil at a terrivle price paid in French and Sardinian lives.

Hitherto the French Emperor hes not beea sparing of bie best troops. Thogi Sardiaien soldiers who Were traived in the campaign of the Crimoa, made sin- inary ongcts at Montebello; and the Zouayes have been somewha' lavishly thrown at the Austrian lines at Palestro, The Austrians, on the other hand, seem to have brought their new levies dirst into ac tion, and to have exposed their least valuable and least reilabe troops to the onsct of the action. It may be that jl the Freneh and Sardinian poldiers aro as go0d ag those who have already fought, and that the Austrians have no better troops than those which have atready recoiled be fore the Trench and Sardinians. This, hewover, the event must show.

This victory has burat on Europe like a clap of thunder. A great cogagement was expected, but it was believed that we should gee it advance in the distenoe, and, as it were, executed before our eyes. Tn the opinion of the Ewperor Napoleon, ibis brilliant affa:r was, no doubt, a triumph, skilfully ‘fore- geen and perseveriogiy prepared; while to the Austrian generals it was a surprise and e disaster. When Ge- neral Gyulai believed that the main body of the allied forces were massed” in the south, between Ale enndria and the Apennines, all the Franco-Sard nian corps, by one of the finest movements recorded in military history, rapidly advanced from the right flank to the extremity ofthe left. It was ouly at the it mo- ment that the Ausiriaus perceived this chauge of pssition; and their precipitate retreat shows thet they understood the imminence of the danger which menaced them. Very little was wanting to prevent Geaeral Gyulai from getting out of the Lomeilina at all. General Nic!, whom Re sue posed to be occupied in the direction of the lake, sud- denly threw himeelf on Novaro, and the French esmy crossed the Ticino without meeting muct resistance. Then Gen. Heas, sent in all haste by the Emperor Fran cis Joseph to take the command of tho Austrian army, threw all the forces he had under his hand—160,000 mon are spoken of—on the allied columns, which deboucned by narrow passcs towards the road which leads from Builalora to Milan. The shock was terrible, and tho combat most eanguinary. The result stated by telegrapt ig deplorable for humanity, but glorious for the Fren arms. Astrange thing it is that it is General de MoMabou, whom the Austrians thought near the ridges of the Apen’ | nine#, who must have decided the victory by carrying the village of Magenta on the flank of the enemy.

Over the formerermy another great advantage bas been already ganed bythe Frenon. flearing that Geveral Benedek occupied attrong position at Melegnano— “which fg about ten miles southeast of Milan, on the road to Lodi, on the river Adda—the Emperor sent Marenal Barsguay d’Gilliers agaivet him, Tne French drove the Anstrians before them, and took 1,200 prizoners.

Which- ever nation was the aggressor, aud the mere instru- ment of insane ambition, would certainly, aod rightly, be humiliated apd despoiled in the end. Were we tho aagreasore—which we are vot like'y to be—certaia cala- mity would overtake us, and we should have richiy de- rerved it. If France, on the over band, were to attempt to renew the insane ciama of the Napoleovic era, as surely ag she began it so surely would ita last act be the encampment of foreign egious in acd about her capital. These and similar cor siderations should be saificient to rest the impetuosity of eatuer people, even in the face of passing provocation. We suppose it to be pretty well understood by this time that, as a mere question of pluck und courage, neither nation ‘nlertaiog sny apprehension of the otber. Rivars of blood have flowed io illustration of thas pusi- sop. An English grenadier and a French Zonave would, ro doubt, step out with the utmost cheerfulaces aud alas- rity to cut each other’s throat, and be rather thankful then otherwise for the chance. Is it worth while that the thing should be done? We think decidedly not.

All effurts to obtain an | unconditional gueraptee had failed, and the condition im- | posed in order to obtain the guaracteed eight per cent on | the £600,000 of capital to be raised was that the cable should be worked fur thirty days consecutively at the rate of 1G0 words per hour—the test of the working condition to be the same either for the old or the new cable, Mr. | Wortley stated that if they succeeded he had reason believe the American goverament would ivereaso their subsidy to £20,000 per annum, | He thought that the most equitsble way to carry out the undertaking wat to allow eight per cent on the aew pre- ference capital of £600,000, then to allow four per cent on the old capital, and should acy. surplus proiits remain to divide them ratably between the oid and new shares. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Professor Taowrson, in seconding the motion, expressed the utmost confidence in the gavcssa of the undertaking, | and in the poesibulity of transraitting words more rapidly | than epecified in the contract. An amendment wat proposed to the effect that in the abeence of fuli information ag to the rights of the com- pany on the North american coast, the meeting be ad- journed until the 224 inst. A debate ensued. Mr. Cyrvs W, Fretp, in reply to questions, stated that he fey the New York, Newfoundland and Lon- » don Telegraph Company, who had obtained, in 1854, the | right of janding and mattaloing cables on the coast of British North America. They bai done everything they could to aid the Atlantic Telegraph Company, aad had | extended the time for eighteen months to complete their | cable, and eubeequently for two years to come. The emendment was rejected dy a large majority, and | the report was adopted unsnimonsly, The directors were requested to remain in office, and not to resign as they had propesed. Mr. Dalgleish, M. P., was adced wo the direction. The number of directors was reduced to twelve, and there being but nine in office the | Board wee authorized to fill up the vacancies when con- | venient. The directors were authorized to carry out the agree- ment entered into with the government, and a formal reso. | lution was passed authorizing the raising of £600,000 in | preference shares of £5 cach on the terms above recem- mended by the chairman. The meeting off in the best manner, and the | directors were confident of being able to get all the money they require to have manufactured and laid a new cable of the best kind. The prospects of the company were believed to be improving daily. The Red Sea cable was successfully laid to Aden on the | 28th of May. | News from India and China.
