While the struggle for Solferino and Cavrians was go! on, the eighth corps d’armée, which was on the outer of the right wing, advanced and repulsed the Sardinian troope to it, but this advantage did not enable the imperial royal army t0 recover the positions that had beea Jost in the centre. The Third and Ninth corps, which were supported by the Eleventh corpe, were on the Jeft wing, apd the reservo cavalry attached to this wing made several brilliant attacks. Unusually heavy loases,end the fact that the left wing of the first army was unable to make progress on the right flank of the enemy, who directed his main force in the centre against Volta, fed to the retreat of the imperial royal army.

The French body, which was first thos engaged, was the corps d/armée of General Niel, which, since the evening, was marching in the direction of dole. The advanced guard of General Niel had met three divisions of Urban’s 8, at obliged to mks ts way amidat a tremendous Ate sata o mi: way a 8 ketry and artillery. 4s soon as Marahal Canrobert was aware of the enemy’s attack, be ordered his troops to throw aside their knap- sacks, and with all possible speed hastened to the scene of action. After an hour's fight the action beesme gene- ral allover the plain, and the arrival of the Emperor soon converted it into a regular pitched battle. Marshal McMahon was soon epgaged on the left, and the distant report of the artillery, which was carried by the wind blowing from the Lego di Garda, apprised us that the Piedmontese army was equally en; somewhere near Rivoltella and Peschiera. It was about two o’clock in the afternoon when the Piedmontese, proceeding from Rivol- tells, succeeded in making their junction with the French army. The French centre had been compelled by the events of the day to concentrate the mass of its forces towards the billy village of Solferino, where the Austrians were disputing the ground with an energy ufprecedented in the present war. The battle became then a tremendous one, The Pied- wontere, led by the King, really performed wonders. The firat and second regiments of the Guards emulated the Zouaves to such a degree that a French officer told me it was impossible to imagine anything more grand and heroic. General Durando’s and Fanti’s divisions took Position ater position at the point of the bayonet, till they succeeded in routing the enemy, which was obliged to fail ‘back on Wepre Volta. This back braphema! was toon stopped by the enemy’s reserve coming from Guidiz- zolo, Cerlungo and Goito, so that the conflict was renewed, and tasted till night. Of course it is impossible for me to tend you a correct account of this great and bloody atrug- gie, in which the Austrians mustered not less than "240,090 men. The Allies bad ag many as that, though not until nearly the close of the day. ‘The Josses on both sides have been tremendous. The Sindaco of Castiglione, a Doctor Poli, told me half an hour ego that he thought the two armies had not lew than 40,000 hors du combat. Field pieces, prisoners, flags, I bear, have aleo fallen into our hands, and J saw myseif batches of prisoners sent to Castiglione and to Brescia. At about eight o’cleck in the evening the smoke which had enveloped ior more toan ten hours the hills which stretch away from Castigiione as far as Volta, was gradually dis- persing; eo it was clear that the great struggle was draw- ing to a clase. {Correspondence of the London Post.] Casricuoyg, June 24, A great battle has been fought, and a great victory has been won; but another battle may be fonght again to morrow, and another vi ‘still more complete may be gained. But at present all I have to tell you is of what took place today. Marshal McMahon’s corps left Castiglione this morning at four A. M., witbout expecting to be attacked, but be- fore it had marched more than three miles on the Mantua road it was fired upon by the Austrian’s advance on the Jeft of the bigh road. The corps kept up @ waiting fight until it was gupported by Marshal y d’Hilliers, who brought the First corps from betweer,Lonato and Cas- tiglione to ite assistance, The fight began on the road, and then diverged to the left, and the village of Solferino wiAt this me General Niet, with the F rth corpa At this time General Niel, ‘om wasnt gome distance, waiting for the approach of Marshal Canro- bert, who had got very far on right toward Mantua, but leaving a very great distance between them. The Cavalry of the Guard then came up and had to hold a dis- tance of nearly two miles between Marshal McMahon and General Niel, covering the Marshal's corps, but itself without artillery. The division of two regiments of Cuirassiers of the Guard, forming the first brigade, the io0 Lancers of the Guard, and Dragoons de 1’Im the eecond brigade, and the Chasseurs and Guides formed the light brigade, which, commanded by General Cas. eegnolies, made a brilliant cherge, directed in person by General Maurice, who commanded the whole. e Chas. seurs de France alzo made a great charge, commanded by General Goudin ce Villene. This part of the battle took place on the plain immediately in front of Castiglione, the field of battle beginning at about seven miles in advance of the town. In the meantime, the battle raged on the heights between the Austrians—whose line extended nearly, if not quite, from Peschiera along the range of hile down into the piain—and the Turcos, Voltigeurs of the Guard, Gre. nadiers, and Artillery of the Guard. The Turcos suffered immensely, a8 they distinguished themselves by thelr usual impetuosity ; they lost their colonel, mortally wounded, and many of their officers. Tne Artillery of the Guard there lost a vory great part of their officers, as they engaged at half rifle shot, and the Tyrolese sharp. shooters, who are exceedingly good, picked the ofllcers off at their guns; for this reagon their loss has been very eevere, The whole cavalry and artillery of the Guard had not even had their coffee when they went into action. So little wags a general affair expected that the oflicers of the Grenadiers and Voltigeurs were looking for quarters for the day, when the staff officer rode into Castiglione and ordered them forward at once. General bad been remainmng with his division of cavalry as a reserve at Castenedolo, not expecting to be called #0 soon, nor did Marshal McMahon’s officers, when they marched at three o’clock inthe morning; but at four firing began to be heard at slow intervals, which continued for some time, and at half-past six the Guard arrived at Castiglione and was immediately pushed on, as Lhave before mentioned.

A Turin despatch says that the Sardinian losses at Solfe- tino were very heavy, and mentions among the killed Generals Mollard, Perrier and Arnaidi, Colonels Beretta and Pernot, and Captain Pallavicini, of the bersaglieri. General Fanti’s division greatly distinguished itself. A Paris letter in the Independarce, of Brussels, 6ay8:— The Emperor of the French bad one of bis epauietics carried a’ by a shot.

The Paris correspondent of the London Times, writing June 28, evening, says :— official reports of the battle will probably appear to- morrow. In the meantime, it seema that this time it is to General Niel the Emperor is indebted for the success of the day. Niel, with 35,000 men and two divisions ef horse, In all about 50,000, was ei ed from four in the morning till four in the afternoon, wi he led in forcing the Austrian centre while the battle was still raging on both wings. The First Zouaves are said to haye been much cut up, and the First Chasseurs d’Afrique terribly treated. Generals !’Admirauit, Dons! and Dieu arqwound- ed; and it is rumored, though I hope without toubdation, that General Anger, whose arm was carried away by a cannon shot, is dead. General Anger was a most distinguished artillery officer. Cotonel Jourjon, of the eed is also reported killed. I havo a few lines from Piedmont, written hastily on the 26th, It was, they say, believed that the Austrians were in immense force, though not all engaged. The Pied- montese were at one moment enveloped; but they re- covered, repulsed the Th. and kept the positions with remarkable courage. The Piedmontese have lost three generals wounded and one killed. Fourteen thousand beds ‘were demanded at Milan for the use of the wounded. After twelve hours’ fighting the Austrians brought up the reserve of 80,000, and tne Allies theirs of 50,000. It was @ most critical moment, three hours of general fighting ending to the advantage of the Allies. This victory can- not be grudged—it was well earned and is complete. OPINIONS OF THE PARIS PRRSS ON THE VICTORY. [From the Paris Conatituti Austria bas again brought forw: force; she has Put in line this time her whole army, and sought in a de- Cisive battle the triumph and excuse of hor selfish policy. Not being able to justify herself she desired to conquer; but in spite of so many forces accumulated, of ali the ad- vantages of a field prepared long before, and of the ener- gee resistance of her battalions, Ausfria is vanguished. 1 God of combats is also the God of fustice and of right. The victory of the Mincio is not only a French victory, it is a European one, All nations, let us say it to their honor, have 0 openly testified their sympathies in tavor of Ita- Man pationality thatthey have a right to rejoice as we do atthe result of the battle of the 24th of June. On that Gay the cause of civilization triumphed at the same time as the cause of Italy. Germany, we believe, will not re- main isolated in presence of this unanimity of the world. She will take part im our joys and our hopes, for her en- lightened popuistions, her really natiouai governments, will admit more and more that Austrian interests are dia- metrically opposed to German ones, and that the pees derance of Vienns has always beeu fatal to the Confede- [From tko Paris Pays, June 28. ‘The famous quadrilatera) and the Austrian army now shrink into insignificance before two plain, striking, in- disputable facts, which will henceiorth exercise an over. whelming influence. The first ie, that from the present moment the Austrians may be regarded as driven out of Italy. Their complete expulsion may still require some effort, but the heaviest part of the work is done, and tne final reault ig no longer a matter of doubt; the only ques- tion now jg the precize date, which cannot be far distant. ‘That the isaue must be either the evacuation or expulsion is now indisputable. It is a fact, not indeed accomplished, ‘Dut inevitable, Remember, too, that this vanquished army will ere long hear our canpon booming over the Venetian Jagoons. Venice is still less in a con- dition to resist our seige fiect and our landing troops than was the Austrian army with its three popeg et men palo the Po, ra Loy and the Adige. approaching capture ‘ernce will, therfore, be the denouement of the drama; the curtain may not fall xmmediately, but the play will be really over. The second fact, equally clear, is that henceforth and de- finitively the presence of the Austrians in Tealy 18 impossi- ble, It is 80, because the hatred of the oppressed towards thelr o has reached its climax, and Europe will pot any longer consent to tarnish her history with auch grey ton, its pretent deliverance. It is impossible, be- cause the Emperor Napoleon and France are interested in the succega of that deliverance, which is nesessary for the ef and security of France, and even for civiliza- tion itself.

What substitutes itself, witt an irresistible evidence to the quadrangle and the Austrian army, are two clear, striking and indisputabie facts, which are now going to dominate and carry everthing. ‘The firet or those two facta ir, that from the present hour the Austrians may be considered as chased from Italy. It may still necessitate some efforts, some fights, end perhaps seme gieges; but the heaviest part of the ‘work is done, and the fina! reault is manifest to all. Tere remains onty a question of a very early date to be given ether to the voluntary evacuation or to the expulsion. As to the voluntary evacuation or the forced expulsion, nobody doubts or could doubt it, It is a fact not accom- plished, but acquired. Observe, in fact, that the rest of the defeated army is weing, at apy moment, to hear our caunon in the legunes of Venice. Venice can far leas resist our siege ficet and our landing troops than the Austrian army, nearly three hundred thousand men strong, was able to do 80 when between the Po, the Mincio and the Adige. The early and fatal capture of Venice is then going to put an end to the drama; the curtain may Perbapa not fall yet, but the play will in fact be ended.

It fs impossible, because the Emperor Napoleon and France are engaged fn the success of that deliverance, ne- ceseary to our dignity, eur security, and civilization itself. France will make reasonabie concessions on the acces- sories of the question, but she will not-make any on the moain point, that ia to say, the total expulsion of the Aus- triens.

THE FINAWCIAL MEASURES OF AUSTRIA. Translated from tne Baltic Gazette for the New York ‘Hzratp.) The mest violent financial measures succeed each other, one after another, in Austria, to temporarily keep afloat the foundering veseel of the State, and for that object they have at once annihilated the gigantic efforts made by Aus- tria to restore her finances since she had conquered the revolution. On the 30th of April the interests of the pub- lic funds were reduced to the rate of the revenues of the third class. A loan of two hundred million gildens is or- dered to be issued the National Bank, in new coupons of five gildens, for twothirds of its from tb cluse of reimbursing iis paper is spedi Nad d e clause im te pi jo, ani whilethe values aro te armeeeonietas , 0 coupons of the national loan which have become due. the 14th of May a forced loan of 75,080,000, to be reimbursed in ‘spoke, is imposed on the Lom! ‘ene- tian kingdom. ‘The 18th and 19th Mey a certain increase Of taxes was published, and the amount is estimated at Tore than 40,000,000 guilders. The Vienna Gasetic then affirmed that those measures would be the last. On the16th of Jane an ordinance ap. Pears, stating that the interests of the national loan (paid’ in specie) will, iustead of cash, be paid in bank Dotes, with agio during the time of the war; and that agio js Oxed in quite an arbitrary manner at 25 per cent until the end of September, while up to the 16th of June money was quoted in Vienne at 141-60. In the meautime it was optional for the bearers of coupoas to require the Payment in obligations (bonds) of the puodlic debt, which, at the end of five years (from the day when the interests will be due), have to be paid in specie, at the rate of one hundred and twenty-eight guilders for one hundred guild- ae the payment of the interests and the compound in- re He who does not want to submit to the immediate ro duction of the interests to be received can only escape it by capitalizing bis credits on the State, and watt- ing five years to be paid. Finally, the treasurers of the Lombardo-Vevetian kingdom have lately bean author- ized to iesue bonds for fifty million guildecg, having forced currency. Itis true that the object ofthis measure ig only to carry into effect the forced lodn of seventy-five millions of guilders which we have mentioned above; that foan was to be made at the rate of seventy pee cent, and ‘Was consequently to bring in fifty-two ands half millious of guilders. But even by the strict execution of the pre- ecrived dispositions, the ruinous system of paper money ig not only temporarily extended to the Italian provinces until the ccmplete payment of the forced loan, but # can already be foreseen that that aya- tem will be maintained there afterwards, should Lombardy fall back under the dominion of Austria; for out of the seventy-five millions of the forced loan not only there are but thirty millions imposed on the Vene- tian provinces, but the first instalment, due on the 30th of Jane, is to be paid in epecie. And when it is said atthe conctusion of the ordinance: Measures will be taken for the redeeming of those bonds which might stiil be in cir- culation at that time (that is to say, atter tae paymont of the forced loan), this promise is so vague that {t is difficult not to believe that those measures will only be taken on paper, principally when one has had, by the financial or- dinances of the 20th of acaits & new proof of the con- science with which Aust keeps ber promises. For a war which is scarcely going on for eight weeks, this series of measures in suiliciently loag. It would be superfluous to make their criticiem in detail. Oae can onty ask this: What wid be done hereafter if ail those measum together are not sufficient—and it is a sure fac'—to continue the war, not during years, but only during a few months? Certainly, the men who manage the finances of Austria will not be embarassed to tind new means to differ the bankruptcy which is already now openly declared, Bat the result will be so much the more dreadful, not alone for the State, but also for the welfare of the nation. SWITZERLAND AND THE BELLIGERENTS. Berwe, Juno 80, 1869. The Federal Council has decided, in concert with the belligerent Powers, that any corps @armée or soldiers seekimg shelter on the Swiss territory, shall be sent back to their country, the governments engaging themselves not to employ them again in the present war. Arms and ammunition are to be given up after the end of the war, and the cosis of their keeping to be repaid t the Swiss government, In consequence of this convention the garrison of Lave- Bo and the soldiers of General Garibaldi’s corps d’armie will be sent back. ‘Tho steamers usually running on Lake Maggiore will be restored to commercial service, under the condition that they are to serve no more for war purposes, ‘The Austrians occupy the Stelvio Pass, tery has been placed in & position the road to the Stelvio Pave, Bar- ricades have also been erected, and there is great fear of a deecent of General Garibaldi. feta of Soldiers of different countries, fer which Switzerland is it nowige respovaibie, and she deplores that they ehovid ba Mepiuyerly Galva Sete jegimouig, Joe Copfedgration | cee? erate ane ots fron countess, Pudlaies all responsibility” for acts ‘which are’ purely i er tela, dotieres thee bas been every’ Simp oan, the ° ITALIAN LIBERALITY.

WAR INCIDENTS. At Paris it is believed in some quarters thet the French logs on the day of the battle of Solferino amounted to from 16,000 to 18,000 men, divided as follows :—Niel’s corps, 6,000 to 7,000; d’Billiers, nearly 5,000; MoMahon’s, 2,500; Canrobert’s, 1,000, and there are’ be: sides the casualties in the artillery and special corps. The French people are diesatiefied with the scantiness of tne detatis ag yet published in the Moniteur. The London Times gives a long description of the new iron. steam ram, which, it ye will be afloat next June. Her total will be 880 feet, breadth 68; total weight at sea about 9,000 tons; full speed 16 miles an hour, About 220 feet of the broadside of the vessel wili be of teak, 24 inches thick; th‘s will be covered by armor plates 43, inches thick on the deck. The ram wiil be armed with 36 Armstrong guns, each throwing 100 Ib. shot over a range of six miles. The ram will run down abips by driving at them at full speed. If she only does one-half of what may fairly be anticipated from her she will be cheaper to the nation than a dozen mail of the line. The cost of the hal! wit! be about £200,0¢0, the engines about £75,000, —- her fitting for sea about £45,000 more, or £320,000 in The Austrian government has published a return of the sums contributed to the patriotic fand. They amount to 288,253 florin, or 720,000 fr.,at the nominal exchat of 2tr.'50c., but duly to 800.000/r. at the actual rate of 1fr. “kc. The enthusiasm of the Austrian public in favor of ‘the war does not appear to be very great, if these sub- Scriptions may be taken as the measure of its intensity. The French floating batteries which form part of the Squadron of Admiral Bouet-Villaumez are the same ag those which were employed with great effect at Kinburn at the mouth of the Dnieper in the Crimean war. They are called the Lave, the Inante and the Devastation, Two other floating batteries are being constructed—the Congreve at Brest and the Foudroyante at Cherbourg. Another instance, says the Paris Pays, of the patriotic enthusiasm of the Italian volunteers is found in the follow- ing fact:—The Duke of San Donato, malor in the third regiment of Chasseurs of the Alps, Leche deen, as the youngest of bis rank, left in command the depot, at once resigned bis commission, and joined Garibaldi, as a private, on the theatre of war. lies were shot by the Austrians, and thirty-four of them sent off to Germany, to taste the sweets of the caréere duro of MM. Metternich and Veuillot. This is not all. Three of Garibaldi’s soldiera were shet at Verona, and it has been publicly announced that ail ,who may be taken prisouers will experience q similar fate. It is certain that the Austrians would expose themselves to terrible reprisals if the chiefs of the Franco-Sardinian army had not given 80 many proofs of forbearance and moderation. serve of the federal Contingent of Luxembourg assem- bled at Echternach and Diekerob, have displayed flags inecribed ‘Long live Napoleon!” “Italy forever!” The Grand Duke of Baden has addressed to his army an order of the day, which concludes as follows: ‘The time for peace and repose has not yet arrived, and we may bave to impose on ourselves greater sacrifices snd to undergo more painful trials than any we have hitherto borne. Hold yourselves, therefore, ready to re- pond to my call and to fight under my flag like valiant Germans for the honor of the country. It is stated from Madrid that, owing partly to the war between France and Austria, and partly to heavy import duties, there is not a single merchant abip in the port of Gijon, and that all vessels belonging to that port have gone to Italy, where they can fiad occupation.
