Afterwards, when the war v hick they precipitated upon the country demanded wuutlvra -c!uttuel to 1,, ft.. ttlAiett fur slaughter, they began in crjole and flatter the foreign element.

A great battle has been fought, Orrthe anniversary of the battle of Solferino, be tween the Italians and Austrians, and, after a display of desperate and heroic kfavery, which the Austrian Commander in-Chiet cheerfully recognizes, the Italians have met with a vignal defeat. - The battle wo fought Within the famous 'quadrilateral, between- the fortresses of Pesebiera and Verona. Contrary to the ' general opinion, the Italians have dared to make a direct attack upon the Quadri- ' lateral. Their main army, tetimated at from SONO to 00,000 men, and being cm der the comMand Of the King and of lasidarreora, crossed , the : Mineio, on the-'23d of Julie, -at Goito, above Mantua, without meeting with any resiitance. The first corps of the army was charged with an ,attsck upon the connections, of the -fortresses of reechiera and Verona, and in this attack v. as to he supported by the second and the third corp. The attack, as most military men would have antici• pated and predicted, was the first corys suffered most severely, and an .eflhrt of the two other carps- to release it failed. The Austrians announce that they have taken several gun's and 2 000 prisoners. They call the bqttle by the name of Custozza. Prince Amadeus and Gen. Cerale, the leader of one of the di visions, were wounded, and Gen. Villarey killed. In consequence of this defeat the Italians have limb to recrocs, the Mincio, and the Austriatut.have already followed them upon tit. - t4ritery of Lombirdy. The defeat at custezza - will, of course, delay the operations of the other Ital;an armiez.
