Accordingly, at five in the morning, the gallant regiment nd Duke of Hesse once more stormed Ponte di Magenta, in order to facilitate the retro- grade movement. 1t was the last effort of a brave regiment (says Lieut. General Prince Schwartzen berg in his report), which on the preceding 4 had had twenty-five officers wounded, and one sts officer and nine captains killed, without once he tuting to attack, or without displaying irresolution when repulsed. x The enemy having been driv an orderly retreat was made. dently conclude that the euen : 3 periority, paid a high price or the possession of Magenta, and that he will do your Majest, 3 the justice to ack ledge that it did not yield to a brave and numerically superior force until after an vic contest. ars not able to give any nearer details concern- ing the action, as, under the circumstances, timely returns from the different troops could not be ob- tained.

Heangvarrens, Bei.Grososo, June 6, 1509, DESCRIPTION OF THE BATTLE BY THE LONDON TIMES CORRESPONDENT. ADVANCE OF THE ALLIES AT TURBIGO. The details which I sent you in my last letter about the combat at Ponte di Magenta touched only this part of the battle field, and would be incoim- plete were I not to tell you what happened on the other side, at the village of Magenta itself. As I explained before, while the division of the Grena- diers of the Guard and Zouayes attacked the front of the position at Ponte di Magenta and Buffilora, General McMahon, now Duc de Magenta and Mar‘- ‘ance, received the order to advance, witl pinasse hasseur Garde from Turbigo at Magenta in t right flank and rear. support of this force was the rdinian a of which several di os had already the Ticino at Turbigo.

KF TO BLOW CP THE BRIDGE AT BUFFALORA. omplete ignorance of the movements of the and doubly deceived by the inactivity to- wards Turbigo and the demonstration towards Buf- falora, the Austrians prepared for the attack on tnis latter side. When the thing came to the test, it was found that the (éle de pont formed on the Sardinian side of the Ticino, at San Martino, was 80 ill constructed that attempting to hold it would have merely Jed to the itice of the troops encased there. It was therefore determined to abandon it, and blow ui the stone bridgs of Buffalora. The five batta- lions which ocenpied the léte de pont were with- drawn on the night of the Ist-2d,and an attempt was made to blow up the bridge, which, as you know, failed. The solid blocks of granite resisted the small quantity of powder. This seems not to have heen he fault of the engineers so much as of general direction of the whole campaign. The Austrians seem to have been so sure of ti suc: cess that they never thought of retreat, and did not prepare themselves for the contingency of having to blow up the bridges. There was no blasting pow- der at hand, and so little ammunition to spare that ifthe whole amount which was found had been taken out of the cartridges it would not have amounted to six ewt. The commander telegraphed to Milan for blasting powder, whieh might have bee sentup from Milan, and the answer returned w that there was none. This was the reason that th stone bridge over the Ticino could only be shaken and the two bridges over the canal at Ponte Nuovo di Magenta are not injured at all. The chambers were prepared, but there was no powder to put into them. As the position in front of the bridges was ped cae strength, is was determined to defend it, and, not dreaming of an attack from the right, the line of battle of the Austrians went from Buffa- lora sen Ponte di Magenta towards Robeeco, or as nearly as possible parallel to the Ticino and the canal, with the reserves in the village of Ma- sat tea only force towards the road coming om Turbigo was a battalion which occupied one of the large isglated cascines, or farms, to the right of the road, behind the village of Mar. cello. This was more with the view of observa. tion than resistance. The advance of the grena- diers from Ponte di Buifalora at ten, or about two hours before the column of Marshal MeMahon showed itself on the road from Tnrbigo, was calculated to leave them in their original error and they massed their troops so as to mest g column and crush it,” After showing itself, this column, as you will remember received orders to halt, in order to give time to the ether column to arrive, and it was only when the cannon of the latter was heard that it delinitiye. ly advanced, A in spite of its heroic bravery it would scare have ean cdl in taking this formidable Tonan on the canal had not the advance ‘of the flanking columm obliged the Austrians 1+ make front against this unexpected enemy | side of the village of Magenta, The railw a , La Motterouge and the di- | road. sa Pied and Fusiliers de la d take the Austrians mane 2 no and abounded. | and Corbetto 1) | front and to the | the loud back their right wing They had_ to so ‘that their left wing rested at Robece: the village of Magenta formed their centre, ec right wing. The troops ehich been ordercd forward to defend the position at canal had to go back and take up a position in nt of the vilage of Magenta. FGU'T ON THE RATLKOAD LINK. f to have a clear idea ot the new disposi- 1, you must keep in mind the three rouds—that Buflulora to Magenta ranning nearly due east, the from the main rond to Milan, coming from Ponte Novo di Magenta to Megenta, and the railway line, which, anal, leads to the left, and, ids, passes to the western My line s evel a greater part im this part of the battle on the other; it was the line on which Austrians received Marshal McMahon's attack, The station house, a considerable building, and the __ village itself — for- med the poimt @appui for the Austrian centre, which extended along the railway as far as the point of intersection of this latter with the high road. The right wing was based on the ad- vanced post at the farmhouse, to the right of the road from Turbigo, which | mentioned before. As soon as the Duc de Magenta’s corps had come up he formed it in line of battle, as far as the ground permitted; placing the first division to the left and the second to the right, some artillery on the narrow road, and the tusileers and chasseurs de la garde as reserves, he advanced boldly against the enemy's position, The anianrs a3 soon as it came within sight of the enemy, had to extend itsel! through the fields and vineyards. The ground is so full of these latter and trees that the line could not advance in compact order, but had to take a more loose formation between the skir- wishing line and the regular order of battle. The farm house in advance became the object of a murderous fight. The enemy had concentrated a considerable mass of troops around and in it, and against this the Second regiment of the Voreign Le- gion was sent, who attacked it with great dan, The alter having passa rtersectivg the two re point @appur tor his right wing, sent a column to the right to outflank this body, and, if possible, to cut it off The Sardinians were to have been to the left as reserve, as well as to guard against any such movement, and then likewise to try and envelope the Austrian right wing and rear, and thus to cut it off from its hne of retreat.

ATTACK ON TRE VILLAGE. It was done, and the column entered the village. Here every house had become a castle, held by a desperate garrison; it required a regular combat to take it, and letter after letter could be written on the incidents in which these isolated combats There is no doubt the Austrians fought desperately, even when everything seemed lost; an | incredible number of their officers being killed, the soldiers were left entirely to themselves in | these isolated positions, from which there was no retreat. They had been told before that they had to expect no mercy, as it was the habit of the allies to Lill all prisoners and wounded, so they fought with this imaginary halter round their necks, The wounded crept into the cellars, and hid themselves where they could, in order not to fail into the hands of the cruel enemy, there to nd to die. Numbers have been found thus concesled, and either dead or so exhausted that they ected to reco Even now, th attle, numbers are found and Lt into the hospital, or to be buried. 1 saw this morning, taken out of the cellars of the y station, two poor wretchos—a Tyrolese ja- nd a soldier of the line—the first slightly wounded, and the second almost dying with fear and exhaustion. They heard below the discharge of the muskets found loaded on the field of battle, and thoug ) series of wholesale exe- cutions. And yet how different was the case! Not even towards their own soldiers are the French more humane than towards those who fell into i by the chances of war. They nurse them like children, handle them gently, like mo- thers, and do everything in their power to relieve their sufferings. e THE VICTORY. Well, by eight o'clock the mission of the Duc de Magenta was fulfilled, and Magenta taken. As the attack of the latter had saved the couple of regi- de Magonta | ments which attacked at the Ponte Nuovo di Ma- genta, so the advance of this column, with the powerful reserves which had come up by this time, contributed to make the ory complete and swell the number of prisoners. It is well nigh impossible to name the nuu:ber of these latter, every moment others are being brought in, but they must be at least 8,000, The number of dead and wounded in the whole affair must be quite 10,000, for the French acknowledge themselves to have lost 4,000. That it wasa splendid and decisive victory there caffnot be the shghest doubt. The colors of two Austrian regiments were taken, and three guns on this side. This small number of guns is explained by the circumstance that the Austrians could bring them little more than their adver: 3 into play, and when they did, it was done very cautiously, as if they had foreseen accident. The best proof of the greatness of the victory has beenin the result—that the Austrians abandoned Milan the same night, leaving 100,000 lire in silver and 3,600 stand of arms in the citadel. Tueir retreat was so precipitate that they did not even take time to destroy the railway or carry off the materic,. for the next morning the Milanese sent up a@ train to Magenta, wh happens to be the last station to- wards the Ticino, to fetch the wounded. The mass of their army retreated towards Abbiate Grasso, in the direction of Lodi. They left likewise the line of Pavia and Piacenza, which becomes untenable now that the Allres are at Milan. The E:mperor, m consideration of the distin- guished part which General McMahon had in the Dattle, has named him marshal of France and Due de Magenta. General Regnault de Angely, commanding the Guards, has on the same occasion been named marshal of France. It was he who commanded the whole attack from the bridge of Bulfalora, and, under him, Wimpfen the right aod DAlton the Icit column, towards the village of uffulora, ‘The day after the battle the corps of MeMahon advanced in the direction of Milan, while other | troops Were sent off towards Abbiate Grasso. To-morrow the Bmperor and the King are to in- augurate their entry into Milan. With the taking of Milan the first phase of the war is finished. Very possibly the Austrians in their precipitate retreat may not be able to withdraw their forces spread all along the long line from the mount, to the Po, so that some of those which are farthe: distant may be cut off. It is known tha column of General Urban, for instance posed Garibaldi, is in the neighborhood of ¢) satter; and dispositions have been made is road will be intercepted, especially if, y,in the confusion at Austrian headquar he been forgotten. He is said to have men with him and several guns. LT hear just at this moment that the first troops of the Allies have crogsed the Adda at Lodi.

To these the unfortunate wretches were carried, in agonies of pain caused hy the movement. A large barrel of cooling drink, made of water and syrup, was near, as well as another filed with wine, with which to assuage the fiery thirst caused by their wounds. Boughs were cut'to make an awning over the open goods trucks, so as to protect their miserable inmates from the vays of a real Italian sun, This station and the railway train itself were certainly the most shocking scenes of misery which one can possibly conceive. It was the darker side of a brilliant victory—looking behind the scenes by daylight; wounded in all stages of agony and pain, ouly half clad, torn, dusty and mde in their own blood. The priests walking crament to the dying; the glazed eye of death in working eyes of others aud the-kneeling priest be- fore them, showing that they were on the point of sighing their last; near them were others, whom you would have thought dead had it not been for the perceptible movement of the eye or a con- vulsive twist of the limb. You became involunta- rily silent when you entered and took off your cap at the sight of so much misery. Even the lively French soldiers, who ministered to the wants of these defaced specimens of hamanity, became grave, and this dead silence was only broken from time | to time by the solemn words of the priest, a faint sob, a frantic shriek of pain, or a weak sigh. You forgot almost that there was a victory to re- deem this dark scene, and these men, who would | otherwise have peacefully followed their domestic | occupations, were summoned to expose themselves | to all this for a cause which is not their own, which | they know nothing about, nor care for. It was, indeed, a hard lot. | Bur it was, above all, when the wounded na to | be moved to the carriages that the neighborhood became almost intolerable. Such shrieks, such pale | faces, contracted by pain, such torn limbs! The | soldiers ordered to transport them seemed to forget everything in their anxiety to alleviate the pain of the sufferers. The philanthropist would have been touched by so much care, and the cynic might have sneered at the idea that the very men who had made the wounds should now try to cure the mischief, ready to begin again. Before starting a new distribution of drink took place, for which there was a crav! At last the train was off, and the noise of the train drowned all others, while a few turns of the wheels took us out of sight of the station. On our arrival at Milan a number of volunteer nurses were already waiting, with glasses of lemonade to assuage the burning thirst after a passage of more than an hour. THE KILLED AND WOUNDED.

Among the mass you could see the French troopers, every one accompanied by several towns- people, and carried about in triumph—carri full of the new guests and their entertainers; civil- ians with the tricolor in the buttonhole, a musket on the shoulder, and a paper stuck in the hat, on which was printed “Ordine e Sicurezza.” These were the new Municipal or ional Guard of vol- found = unteers, who were armed with the mus! in the citadel, and kept hy the In one word, lice since. lilan was r ing at the retreat and the entry of the French, ken place that morning.

No troops preceded, giving notice beforehand that the moment Was approaching. No splendid uni- forms or gaudy carriages. It was simply the entry of two commanders at the head of | a body ‘of their troops. They came from the last ‘station—-Bobbiette—which is about three | leagues distant, dusty and hot; a small body of cav- alry and guides preceded and closed up the rear; in the midst the two Sovereigns, the King of Sardinia in the middle of the road, and the Empe- ror to his right, both followed by their staff. The shortest road was chosen to pass’ iron the town to the Villa Bonaparte, which is near the Giardini | Publici; but it was all in vain. The news of their | arrival spread with the quickness of lightning, and | was made patent by one frantic shout of joy, with | which I might almost say the whole town gave vent to its feelings; the thousaflds who were al- ready thronging the streets began with one im- | pulse to hurry in the direction from which the | shout first arose. The scene itself, while the | two Sovereigns actually passed, it is impos- sible to describe. Imagine the madness of duthusiasm, the whole heart of a people oured out before those who had delivered it from ‘ong thraldom. Such may have been the reception of those demigods of old, after killing some wild monster which had desolated the world. Not an | ere remained tearless, and proud must have been the moment for both. One such moment is almost sufficient to repay for all the cares, sacrifices, and | risks, without which a great work like theirs can- | not be accomplished; and necessary, too, are such moments, for they give strength for new efforts. All the outward decorations disappeared before the greeting of the people; the flowers,so long pre- pared for the occasion, were almost forgotten in the emotion of the moment, and fell often long be- fore those had passed for whom they had been in- tended. For the first time I saw emotion pierce through that mysterions and impenetrable coun- tenance of the Emperor — he would have been more than & man had it been otherwise. After the Sovereigns had passed the troops came and marched through the streets to the different uarters assigned to them. Among these were the thrst Picdmontese who had come this time into the town. Although one might have thought that after such a gush of enthusiasm as that which greeted the Sovereigns, nature must have been exhausted, the sight of the feathers of the Bersaglieri and the modest gray dress of the Piedmontese infantry seemed to have reanimated the “pve Very likely memory flew back to the year 1848-9, when this | same brave little army entered the lists for Italian freedom, and perhaps a little feeling of shame arose about the last greeting Milan gave to it when it wasin adversity. At any rate, there was a marked difference in the degree of warmth with which the Piedmontese troops and the French Guards | were received this second day. The country of lau- rels seems to have been stripped of that oruament, which, twined into wreaths, showered down on the heads of the Sardinian soldiers. A great deal of | this distinction must be attributed to the numbers of Lombard youths who have already entered as volunteers into the ranks of the Piedmoutese army. It wae her own children, as weillas her neighbors | and friends, whom Milan greeted in the Piedmon- | tese, and one can scarcely grudge a little more | warmth in the greeting. After the arrival of the Sovereigns the Corso, | which leads from the villa Bonaparte to the Cathe- dral, remained thronged with people, for it was thought that the Emperor and the King roe | to the Cathedral to celebrate a Ze Deum. The | Cathedral had been already decorated since yester- | day for this purpose, but it does not seem that there wil be anything of the kind to-day, for it is three | P.M. while | am writing, and there is no sign of a movement. | After the number of volunteers, who risked everything to join the Sardinian army, it can | scarcely be doubted that many will come forward | now, When no obstacle is in the way. Indeed, as | Napoleon well says, will be the test of worthi- ness; for if they let this moment pass without doing apything they are not worthy to be free. There is aramor to-day that another Au: corps of about 10,000 has shown itself in the ne! borhood of Milan, and a few leagues only from it. Whether it is only Urban’s corps and another of ' the stragglers I 't know.

Two other frigates and a steam transport were at Salonica, taking on board 3,000 infantry, and would afterwards join the the Admiral. These troops are, it is said, intended to reinforce the gar- risons of the fortified towns of Bosnia, Macedonia and Albania. A second steam liner, the Fethyée, was being fitted out at Constantinople, and when ready, would also proceed to the Adriatic. RUSSIA AND THE WAR. important Circular of Prince Gortchakoff to the Courts of Germany. The following circular has been issued by Prince Gortschakoff to the representatives of Russia at the different courts of Germany:— Sin—In preeence of the complications which have avison in Italy, many of the great Powers of Korope have thought fit to make a statement of their immediate and cyentual attitude. scording to information which has reached us, tho government of her Britannic Majesty hag informed the States of the Confederation that in tis opinion no hostile act of the French government, no obligatory treaty, would justify on the part of Germany an attack ast France, or the premature adoption of a line of conduct which might lead to a Kuropean war; that, consequently, if at the present moment the Confederation provoked such a war without a casus forderis, and generalized without a sufficient cauge a struggle which ought ss much as pos. eible to remain localized, the governovent of her Britanaic Majesty would maintain 4 strict neutrality, and coul1 not give apy asgistance to Germany, nor guarantee, by tho in- verpomition of ber naval forces, the coasts of Germany from any attack. On its part the Cabinet of the Tuilerics has solomnly de- clared that it dces no; entertain towards Germany any sentiment of a nature to cause it anxiety er to give brage, and that it !s only animated by the most sincere desire of living on good terms with the German confede- ration, whoee rights and interests it is resolved to respect every where. ‘ Finally, the Prussian government, while ordering its army tobe puton a war footing, cuciares that the sole object of that purely de’ensive meas was to shield the integrity of Germany, to place its ‘:* s safe froma all eventualities, and to watch over 1% stenance ofgthe the balance of power in Europe.

NAPOLBON, Heap Quarrens, Mita, June 8, 1859, These two proclamations are said to have excited great enthusiasm at Milan. The little phrase about the duty of the ean “to maintain internal order” | does not appear to have struck the Milanese. They | will be alléwed “free expression of their wishes,’ | with a large army to “preserve order.” The his- | tory of France for the last seven years shows what | is meant by that. | , NOTES OF TH B, | _ The Paris Moniteur published the following ad- | dress from the mu ality of Milar@to the Linpe- ror:— Sie—The Communal Council of the city of Milan has held this very day on extracrvinary sittiog, at which it hag deciced by acciamation nat the municipal body should present to hie Mujesty the Emperor Napoleoa ill | dress expres-ing thearcent gratitu%e of the country for his ist-nce towards the great work of italy’s de hyerance.

At the Iast moment, and when ail difficulties of detail appeared to be removed, the Cabinet of Vienna suddenly broke off the negotiations, al- leging oz the sole resson that its dignity did not allow it to siting congress to which the Italian Courts, couse- quently Sardine, should be admitted, I need not here poiat ovt that in a congress called upon to discuss the affairs of Italy the absence of the Italian Conris would have been at the same time a logical fault and en act of injustice, that their participation emanated from the principles laid aown at Aix-ja Chapelle, couiirm- ed by the Congreases of Laybach and of Verona, convoked by Avstria herself.

GORTSOBAKOFF. Sr, Parerspura, 15th (27th) May, 1859. OPINIONS IN ENGLAND ON NAPOLEON'S MILAN PROCLAMATION AND THE RUSSIAN MANIFESTO. ‘From the London Times, June 14. Napoleon III. has, in his address to tne inhabitants of Milan reiterated ail his promises, and he retains to him- does not appear in Ital; sonal ambition. or to Agerasie the territory of ss To do this would be, in the opinion of Napoleon IIT., not only a wicked, but a foolish act, for the time ome when moral influences are fruitful and victories are sterile. Napoleon III. enters Milan as the liberator of Italy. He comes only to give freedom to the part of Europe; he promises the Lom! they will be his soldiers to-day they row be the free citizens of a great country. sworn to the Italians to combat their enemies tain tor them domestic order, and to throw no the way of the on of their wisnes.

She tells Germaoy that for her there is no cause of fear, that the Emperor of the French bas given assurances, which Russia abund- avy believes, that no enterprise is im prospeet waich will ipjure the interests or the dignity of the great Power of which Prussia is the head and the natural protector. France has a righteous quarrel with Austria, and Russia will stand by und gee it fairly fought out. The war sball not spread beyond Italy, and it shall not be quenched in Italy. Rus- sia very significantly imtimates thal if Germany interferes in this ‘matter, go long as it remains only an Italian quar- rel, Russia will also interfere, and restore the equilibrium of tho contest. We must take it that these two crowned heads are sin- cere in the professions they thus publicly put forward to the world, e must believe Napol when he has driven the Austrians from Italy will hand over Italy te the Italians—will unite Lombardy with Piedmont—witt secu arize the governmentof the Roman States—will give bact to Naples its constitution, and accord guarantees for i's continuance. We must give our contidence to Russia, that when ehe favors this cbivatrous course she also bas no hidden object in view; that she also bas sympathy with Itely, and if any other Taotive mingles with her pity, it isonly a not unnatural desire to pour some slight humiliation upon the head of Auetria, and to exalt Prussia at the expense of her rival. tis not to be suggested that these State papers should speek that which 1s nottrue. When two great sov come forward to protest before Europe that thelr policy ts of a consorvative and disinteres:ed character, and tna if they ave fighting batules and conquering kingdoms it is for the progrees of civilization, for the advance of moral influences, and not from selfish motives, we are bound to heiieve them—not, indeod, to throw ourselves off our guard, but still to believe them. We cannot cease from Cur astonishment that things should be so; we can- not even yet quite comprehend how the Napo- Jeon should wish to build up in Italy a form of government which would be inconvenient to ‘him in France; still lees can we understand why Ruasia should seck to give consistency and power and material form to those ideas which must always be antagonistic to absolute rule, But it is vain to against the proba- bility of a fact when the fact healt stands bodily in evi- dence. Here are the deciarations voluntarily put forth to Europe, uncalled for by any special scheme of policy, carrying with them no particular benefit to the persons who thereby commit their own honor aad the honor of the nations whom they represent to the good fa'th of the professions which they thus spontaneously make, Surely wo shail not lay ourselves open to the imputation of weak credujity if we stifle the in- tinctive suspicions thet arice while we read those papers, and accept them with at least the hope that they mesn ail they say; that the intentions of these two great Powers are those they profess, and no more; that when the Austrians have been driven from Italy the war will be stayed, the prize of contest will be won, and Ivaiy will arige once more in unity—a nation of confede- rated coxstitutional Staies. Beyond that unquenchable inatinct of suspicion to which we haye alre: alluded, there Ig really no reason why these good tidings should not be true, and why these professions should not ripen into Pedigree -~ It is the real iiterest both of France ‘and Rugsia that Europe should be at peace. The glory of having resuscitated Italy would give a lustre to the name of Napoleon that would throw a doubt over the possibiliiy of some earlier cetails of his history, Mill euccess: would have copsolidated his popularity with is army, and peace would restore confidence to his citizens ant Prosperity to the industry of his empire, He boasts that he can commune with the spirit of nis age. It he bo wise enovgb, and enlightened evough, and thoughtful enough to comprehend the intelligence among which ho lives, and to shape his acts in harmony with its tendencies, then this is precisely the policy w! he would pursue. It bas a high and chivalrous character, and has at the seme time ali the advantages of the most humble expo- diency. It would astonish ail men into applause. It would give to his tame the renown of a great historic re- vival; end it would at the same time considerably in- crcags the influence of France ia the south of Europe, and aid ber commercial interate on the great inland sea. As to Rueeia, her intercets are quite evident, and are at this moment all on tho side of poace, Whatever may be her ulterior objects, her prosent duty is to da- velope her own internal strength. She knows that she bos wastes and wildernesses to win within her owa frontier before she can hope to repeat with success hor effurta at Cistant conquest. Public decency is another guarantee upon which we would place somo confidence. In thia nineteenth century even Emperors will be held to their pubiic promises. Solemn declarations made voluntarily to their brother Sovereigns canno: be treated as idle words, uttered without meaning and broken without hesi- tation. It is more pleasing to search the policy of power- fal nations for tokens of a rational and generous eourse of action, than to point out how & policy based upon meaner motives would be certain to call millions of armed men into conflict, and to loosen ail the foundations of civil or- der throughout Europe. If Russia and France hongstiy mean what they have go distinctly said, this Italian war will soon be at aa end, H THE BATILE OF MALEGNAND, Private letters bave been received from Milan to the Suh inst reepecting the battle of Malegnano:— Oa the arrival of an Austrian division from Payi Gent began, at midday.
