In onder {0 baye a sup- port on his right, General Yinoy took from the enemy the farmhouse of Caza Nova, but, thas oo Cupping a front which Was yery oxtonsiys for my amoun of force, Lawaited with impafience De Fa'!7’8 division, Which. oo its part, doubled the rapidity of 3 march in ordér {0 take part in the combat. The enemy attempted to turn Genersl Vinoy’s left in the epace which the Second and the Yourth corps In," b9- tween them, A column of imfantry, supported by ».2 merous cavalry, approached to about yards from Vinoy’s division, when it was checked by the grape and the balla of the forty-two piecas of artillery of the divi- Biong and of the reserve, h euccessively took their poets of combat, and which were suon all in battory under the able drection of Gencrai Svleiile, Tao enemy ia their turn deployed their artillery. In this confict, which last- ed o grest part of the day, the French artillory had al weys an incontestable advaniage, and jis terrible effects are ehown by the remaing of mea aad horses which now strew ihe ground. _Ax the corps of Marshal de MeMahon advanced, Vinoy’s division, occupying she Casa Nova as a pivot, foliowed tho movement by the left wizg. But the enemy’s forcea, which fell back in the plan, employed all their eilorte on Caga Nova and on the Sret houses of Rebecoo, where flerce Combate took place. Az goon ag de Puiily’s division could enter in line, I indicated the bamlet of Baste, situated be- tween Rebecco and the farm of Casa Nova, as the direc- tion to be taken by the head of his column. General de Failly went there with U'Farrel’s brigade, and 2 retained Saurn’s brigade under my hand as a reserve. this moment my troops were pinced in this way: 'y'e division from the right to the left of the viliage of Rebeceo; the First brigads of de Fatlly’s division at Baete; and Viaoy’s division deployed sevon batteries of artillery and two divisions of cayalry on the left, but voiding the direction taken by Marshal McMahon. The object which I puraued, and which would have prednced splendid resuite if I gould have attained it, was this:—When Cavriani should be in the Power of the Second corps, Marshal Canrobert arrived at Medola, would bave hut tue kincness to send forward ono or twe oi his divieiong to occupy Rebecco; ther, with the two ctvisions of Luzy and de Fui'ly, I should have seized Guidiaolo, and, master of the embranchment of the Toads, l enould baye cot off the re:reat either on Goito or on Voite of the enemy’s masses waich occupied the plain, Unfortunately, Marsal Canrobert, being menace4 om bis right, did not consider \t prudent to leud me hie-support until towards the end of tne day. The enemy, whoaaw ail the danger which maiareb ‘on Guidizzolo occasioned them, employed ail their etre w check it. A very sharp conilict, inating for moze 113" six hours, took ylace around the furm of Vasa (Nova, wi tne bamict of Baeta, and at the village of Rebec: Woon the combat consisted of the firing of musketry betweon the infantry, I joss ground, the enemy baying the advantage of numbers, But thea Iformed a exiuma of attack with ou of the baitulions of my reserys, and the bayonot gave us more than the firing ot musketry caused us to lose, Th those incessant combats I had the regret to gee brave soldiers, aua chiefs well worthy to cominand thom, fnil around.

Toe foliow.og ts the report sent to Napuleoa by the King ‘Sarcwis:s— i. Use wwe 24th of June, whiisi ihe Freach troops uador the orders of Marthai Baragusy d’Hilliers were marching ou Solferimo, three divisions of the Piweduvntese army were #Qvancing i the direction of Peschiera, Puzzviengo and Mi 1a deila Scoperta. y were preceded by detach- mec charged tw reconnoire the line of march and ex- amine the ground. ‘Tue Third division (General Mollard) was to clear the part of tbe plan between the ratiway and tho lake, aad ibe Flug (Geoeral Cucobiar!) was to march oa Pozarlengo, where the First division (Genera Durando) was to pro- cee aio, by Castel Venzago and Madonua deila Scoperta, The cetacoment sent by the Fifa division to recounoitre, composed of & battalion of infantry, @ oxttalion of 6narp shooters, & equadron of light Borse, and two pieces of ar- Ulery, under the orders of Colonel Cadorua, left oa its right the beights of San Maruno, whion were Bot yet oo copied by the epemy, aud coutinued to advauce by the Lugano road towards Poazolengo, The Auetrian advance posis, vigorously attacked and orced back towards keven im the moraing, were soon bupporied by imposing forces before waich it was found be versaury to (ail DOCK, Geveral Mollard, ou hearing the firing and capnansde, Jed \oe simali Cotuma waicd preceded his division to tne wid of Colonel Cadorua, aod seat two cowpanies of ritls- men to the farm Succale in order to effeot a diversion. The Thire and Filth divis.ons received orders to hasten their march 1L¢ column of Colene!

But, to the rigat, the ‘nemy was already marchiog ez00g Colucons to wue beige by Stefapo sod San Donoao, aud was rapidly ad- vyauewg Upon the farm Contracania, threatening to cut the lige ot retreat. It became necessary to abausoa San Martwo: it was then pine o'clock in the morning. Tne bead o: the column of the Third division was begining to eebouch from the railroad. Ta tbe bope of preveuting the enumy from eatabiiehing himself atrongiy ou the beghts, Gen, Mollard unmediately caused the drat regiment et banti—the Seventh infastry—to storm them, and soon afier sent the Eighth to support it, win orders to use the bayonet witnout firing a single shot. Supported by & baitery of artillery and some charges of the Mooterrat Light Horse, these two brave reg'ments twice reachod thejsummiis with an admi- rabie rush, and got possession of several ploces of cannon; ‘Dut twice aleo they were forced to yield to numbers and abandon their conquest. Colonel Serretta aad Major So- laro bad been killed; Gen. Ansaldi, Mejore Borda and Longout were wounded; the loss in men and subalteras Was Gleo great. ‘The enemy was gaining ground; ho was advancing froin the Selvetta towards the ratiroad tn order to cut us olf from tbat important line of communicstion. A brilliant charge executed by a equadron of cavalry gave us time to assem- ble some troops on the menaced point. It was then, at about 10 A M., the Cucchiari division arrived on the fleld of battle by the Rivoliella road. Three bat- taiions of the Twelfth regiment were immodiately placed et the disposal of Gen. Mollard, to assist bim in retaking the farms Canova, Arnia, Selvetia, and Monata, bus disengaging the approaches to the ratiroad, To the lett, the fourth bataiion of the Twellth and the Kieventh regiments of infautry were formed into attackicg columes ucrogs the Lugaao road. ‘The positions were ttormed under a murderous fire. Tho churen of San Martino, sbe Roccola, aad ali thé farms to the rigot, the Contracazia inclused, were carried with re- Mmarkavie bravery. Tbreo guns were taken, but toe enemy succeeded once more in getting them back. In thig auack a major was killed; two otners and @ Cc lonol were wounded, These were the losses in superior officers. During this time the second brigade of the Fifth divi-- gion (3eventecnth and Eighteenth of the line) with ite Dattelion of riflemen, was forming into an attacking column to the lett of the Lugano road, leaving the Eigu- teenth in reserve, Two battailona of the Seronteenth and two companies of riflemen marched upon tne church of San Murtino and the farm Contracania, which bad again falien into the hands of the enemy, while the two other battalions, with some riflemen, turaipg to the left, wore dirceted upon the farms Corbii di Pte, a Vegtone, The Eighteenth advancea w support the Eleventh, ea- gaged on its frovt. The ground loat was retaken; the culminating point of the heights wag attained, and the prsisows were ODee More OCoupied, Meanwhile the Pignérol brigade, of the Mollard division, arrived from Desenzano and Rivoiteila. Being formed into two lines, and directed with ite artillery against tho jarm Contracaia, it bad airealy commenced its fire, and ‘was about to complete the succes of the Fifth division, when ihe latter, crushed by grape, and placed in front of an enemy that was courtantily receiving freen reinforse- quent, Was obliged to retreat, which waa doug m good order along the Rivoltetla road. Gen. Moljard jhen deom- ed it expedient to suspeyd he attacs commenced by the Pignerot Teh unti! the arrival of fresh troops.

Whon bis Ma- Jesty was informed that ibs Agate brigade ‘Segond diyi- Sion) was approaching San Martino he &eiit Orders to at- tack that position once more, and to get possession of it before nightfall, The Aosta brigade arrived before San Martino about 4 P, M., and was placed under the orders of General Moilard. 1t was p'aced to the loft ot the Pig- ."erol brigade, opposite tue farm Contracania.

The Filth division, which bad retroated along ‘he road to Rivoltolia, was murching back to tho fiew 0,” battle. It was then a terrible burri- cane aroee, coming from the Inke, and followed by tor- frents of rain.

The Pignerol brigade rushed omto the farm Contracania, bu’ being vbliged to con- every Sock of ground it suffered considerable losses, Of Whe evperior ofiicere the two colonels were killed and a major wounded, The Aoeta brigade marched against thé farms Canova, Arnie and Monata, sucacaeively took them, thon attacked tha farm Costracania and the church of San Martino, and endeavored to maintain itself in those different positions by desperate fghitog. It had already its general, two colonels and two majors wounded, and ene major killed. In order to support she infantry by an imposing fire of artillery, the chief of the staff Couged elghteon guns to be placed near the Gasa Monata, in order to cannonade the farm Contracania, All the efforts were soon dirccted on thet point. The enemy heing attacked in the front by the 3d and 6th in- fantry, which were advancing frow Cass Monata, on the right by the brigade Pignerol, and successively by tho 71n, 12:b, 17th and 18th, and by tho Bersaglieri, Dogan to give way. In order to enguro a succoss 80 dearly bought, the order was given to tho whole of the available artil- lery to gallop & the top. m after, twenty-four pieces crowned the heights and opened their fire. Toe enemy, who were not fer off, menaced to fa!l upon our capnona. A squadron of cavalry, with two moet brilliant charges, completed the disorder of their racks, already tainned by volleys cf: grape, and the enemy, betag, pursued by the infantry, left in our bnods their formidable positions, after defending them a whole day wita such derperate obstinacy. iiet the combat was going on from tho early morning on the extreme left, on the opposite side the First corps of the Freacharmy was tmainteining a sharp conflict with the enemy on the hilis of Solferino, A reconnaissance, coraposed oi troops of the First (Da- rando) division, Third battalioa of Rersagliore, a battalion of grenadiers, and a gection of artillery of the Tenin bat- tory, under the command of the chiet of the stall, Colonel de Casaxova, leaving Lonato at daybreak, came about haif-pas: five over against the position of Madonna della Scoperta, which was found to be ovcupied by the enemy. ‘The latter was immediately attacked by the troops of. the reconnaissance, closely followed by the brigade of grenadicrs, ‘Thee corps, unaided, resiated all the efforta of ab encmy superior in numbers till noon, and then feil back a8 far as the cross roads of Cascina Rondotto.

THE FOURTH OF JULY IN PARIS. Our Parts Cor: cspondeno® Raris, Juiy 5, 185). The Fourth of July in Paris—A Grand Dinner and Splendid Scene, dee. Yesterday being the eghty-third asniversary of Ameri- can ladependence, the occasion was celebraied by adinuor at tbe Hote: du Louvrd, Rerely, Tebould think, does it happon to # people acat. tered abroad in foreiga ‘ands, who desire to unite pairia honcre, und muke # national gathoring, that they have the good fortune to meet with an asylum #0 admirably suited as this palace of inns, Tho princely salle of this magnificent hotellerte for the pilgrim sod wayfarer receives in ite annual cycle many and various eocicites. Tiose gilied walls, go geous with the glowing tints of high art—thoso Iuatres with their thousand lights—that vaulted roof, end symmotrical proportion, all reflected as it ig by gigantic shwete of glaza, and adorned by every cunning device of the moat arctic people in the world, bas witnessed many celebrations from tue grotesque to the sublime, but surely none 60 wortby of its epiendors as that of the citizons of a mighty republic gathering together in the land of the stranger to commemorste a natioual independnnce extorted at the cannon’s mouth from a not loss mighty nation, whose .vory frown has, in other times, kept the world in awe—an in- dependeuce sanctified by the patrios blood of martyrs, and, better than all, proved, after an experiment of eighty-three years, not ouly to be a source of infinite blessing to the people themselves, but in its reflection—in its standiug evidence of man’s power to govern himself—to be preg- nant with the happiness of millions yet unborn. In the days of Rome great events were celebrated by ovations and triumpns, the temples flowed with the biooa of hecatombs, the Fiaminian priesthood summoned the people to solemn and mysterioug rites; in theeo modern times the ovations and the triumphs, the burning altar aud the life biood of sacrifice are all concentrated in s dizner, And whea I give the bill of fare, which was wo justify the present gathering, it will, I mink, be admitred ut, if times have changed, and’ we ourselves nave changed with thom, they bave certainiy not done so for the worse, Only think of a banquet ia such a hall, com- pored of such material ag the following, and compare it with the barren solemnities of Greese or Rome.

LIQUEURS, Seraroressreronereeenseee POLLO EC MILLENIA The company—I know not the exact number—muat, I should think, have boen about a hundred, some twenty of whom consisted of the fair sex, who, by the graces of their toilettes and in many instances the remarcablo beauty of their persons, made one regret that more could not have been present on go auspicious an occasion. [ regret that, being myself an Englishman, I em not familiar with the names of those who were Vhore—that, though I will pot say ‘the fewer the greater share of bosor’—but that their names, through the columns of our world-wide circulating journal, might bs given to fame. ibis 18 sn omission, however, which I hope to supply in my next, du apgears that, in congequence of the heat of the Weather, nome difference of taates occarred as to the oslo bration of this great anniversary. One party sought tho green vids, the babbling brook aud woodiand dell as Ue fittest ecene for the commemoration of th tional anniversary. But, though it ig a niatter of regret that tho denizens of the Empire republic, with the Atlantic rol! log between them and the Jand of their fathers, should not have serried their ranks on euch an occasion, stil! ove can fan cy ard sympathise with the taste that called upon ail na ture, as it were, to be witness to the holincss and the joy of their patriotic devotion. A largo Party, it was a'so, of students, in the Quartier Latio, whone you blcod dishkes the control of State, could not resiat the temptation of having a banquet of their own-—* circum stance which might possibly account fur the compara. lively Rcant mitendasce at the Hots! du Loavre, and the absence of mupy bright eyes, which did not choose to shed their lustre on lees inflammable matter, Mr. Mason, the American Minister, took the chair at eight o'clock. The tables were laid s0 ag to form three sides of a parallelogram, the emall end of which was oo- cupied, like the feasts of oid, by the chairman, and the él of the company, flanked him on either side, The two long sides were filled by tho general ‘com- panymone of them, however, monopolizing the ladies, with their attendant gentlemen, and the other entirely occupied by the maic sex, Why this occurred {could not understand, as the table at which tho ladies gat was only occupied on one side, while opposite to them, instead of a stalwart line of manly admirers, was a row of yaoavt crimeon chairs and innumerable covers, pro- serving their spotless purity for future diners, Mr. Mason at Brst looked feeple, and his voice filled with difliculty the ample space of the lofty salle; but he gradually warmed im bis work, an3, though I nave not had the pleasure of hearing him before, tho impression his speaking mado upon me 69 & stranger was very pleasing. His style appronches nearer to wast may be called elegant convertation, rather than to the pure ora- torical, end the ear imbibes it with much logs ellort than the more etiif oracular manner of the ordinary afver din- ner orator, Nothing coula possibly be in better taste and more engaging than his running commentary on the causes of American greatness; it was simple, un- boastful and eminestly graphic and ‘truthful. Tne series of aneecotes with which from time to time he seasoned his remarks were well told and thoroughly apropos to the occasion, and the liveliness of his repartee on more than one opportunity brought down thunders of applause, and, what 1s more, and a greatthing ina chairman, thorough!: identified bim with ois company. 1 confess myself { al- ways see bim rise with pleasure and finish with regrot. A clerical gentleman subsequently responded to.one af the toasts in a dreadfully heavy manner, and which nigh put us to sleep, any disposition to which was, however, dissipated by another gentleman of the name of Train, who perfectly gaivanized the meeting. Mr. Macon good humoredly punned upon his name aa emblematic of the marvellous rapidity of this gentieman’s power of elo- cution, snd called it an oratory of the ‘express Train.’’ Mr. Train, on rising, gracefully retorted by a couplet composed lor the occasion, saying, a{ter afew preliminary remarks— He who follows Mason—doomod by fate, And takes the Train—comes too lale—~ or sometbiog to that effect: a compliment to Mr. Mazon, which fecmed exceedingly agrecable w the company, and, 88 regurdca the spesker, gave him the attention of every one etonce.
