As nearly as we can now learn the Emperor Elancis JoseprMuid collected here not less than 223,0tM| troops, and commanded tlieni in person. 1 lis evident mirnose was to tnnkca stand here and i i*k t??<? fortune* of the war u|>o? the hazards of the day. Nnpoloon promptly accepted I ho challenge, nnd commenced the nM/iek as soon as it was light this morning hy placing cannon upon the hills still nearer to Castlglinne tlun those held l?y tho Austvians, and opening tire upon them on Ilia heights beyond, lie took his own stand upon the highest of these, n steep, sharp backed ridge which commands a inagniheent view of the entire e-ircuit of the plain, and from that point directed the entire movement* of his army during the enrly portion of the day. Tho French very soon drove the enemy out of the posts they held nearest to the town, and followed them into the niuill villages of the plain lietbw. The first of these was Solforino, where they had a sharp and protracted engagement.? The Austrinns disputed every inch-of tin- ground, j and fought here, as they did throughout tho day. I with the utmost desperation. They were three \ tiims* driven out of the town before they would | *ta/f out. The people of the village, moreover, j took part against the French, upon whom they 1 fired from tlicir windows and the French were compelled in self-defence to bum the tow n. When the Anstrhins found it impossible to hold their ground any longer, tliev fel! hack slowly ami steadily, until they readied the village of Yoltn, which, as you will see by the map, lies directly south-east from Cusligifone, and is er.'.y i about n mtlc troni me river :r<,n, which, howev/r, it is separated by n range ol Mil*. Op on these hills, in the rear ot Hie town, and overlooking it complotVon liu> south nnd south-east sides, the Auili'iniu lmd |ilnntril very formidable batteries; and wlmii I arrived ii|>on the Heldand went nt once to Hie height where the Fuiperoi lmd stood ut the opening of the engagement, hut which he had left an hour before to follow hivictorious troops, these batteries were hlnxing away upon the French who were stationed on the |dtiin below. I wns too far off to observe- with any accuracy j the successive steps of the action, but I could distinctly see the troops stationed u|>on the lirond plain, and moving up in musses towards the front, >vl?vre the artillery was jx?*ted, as their services were required, lint as soon as tlicy reached this point tl ctr were speedily enveloped in the smoke f the cannon, nnd disappeared from observation. I Ifut the general result was soon made evident liy | the slackening of the Austrian tire, and by the fall- | ing back of their smoke and a corresponding ad- : vance 011 the part of that which rose from the ! French artillery. The cannonading at that point | lasted for over an hour; hut in precisely what direction the Austrian* ret rented, it was not pos j slide, from the position I occupied, to see. Fart ] of the Austrian force prolwldy crossed the Mincio 1 Uivcr. which flows southward from the lower ! end of hake tiunrdn, and empties into the t'o. ljul the ItAlllt* continued to rage nn over mere > gimi north-west of n lino connecting lit*; towns of Caetiglioue, Solferiiio, and Yoltn. At one point after another n short cannonading would nriso nml continue for hnlf or t hroe quarters of nn hour, and after each successive engngcinenl of this kind the result became apparent in the retreat oi the Austrian* hnd the advance of the French forces. | During all the early part of the day the skx J had been clear and the weather hot. but clouds ' began to gather about noon, nnd at. five o'clock while the cannonade was at its height, a trornen- > dous thunder storm rolled up from the north-west: the wind csnie first, sweeping from the parched streets nn oHoruiotis ehuid of dust, ami was toon followed by a heavy fall of rain, accompanied by v ivid lightning nnd rapid explosions of rattling thunder. 'I i?i- stortrf lasted for about nn hour, ami the cannonading, so far ."w we could distinguish, was suspended. Then the rs.'in ceased, the clouds blew away, the sun shone out again, and the nir was cooled and perfectly delightful. Though the cannon may have ec.iscn fi.wntiine ! to take part in it, the fight hn<! meantime ?on? | <>n ; ami when I again resumed my post of ol>- J nervation, from which tliestorm had expel ltd ue, J tiic cannonading commenced quite on the extreme leh of the entire field, and on the very borders ot the lake, north-east from Castiglionc and west of l'eseltiera. Tho Pieilmiiritese troops, under the King, who commands them in person, had been *)o9ted there and received the Ain'trians as they canto around. From nhout 7 o'clock until after nightfall an incessant and most terrible comltat was here kept up. The hatteiies of the two armies wore apparently about Itnlf a mile np.:rf, mid nt the outset they were both served with : nearly equal and effective vigor; but Hie Austri- [ ons griuliially slackened their tire ami several limes took np new positions, while the Sardinians poured a rapid and uninterrupted shower cf halls upon Litem, suspending only for a few minutes at* time, nnd then renewing it again with redoubled fury. The wind had now gone down, the air was still, and the sonn-d of musketry, as well as of the cannon, was di-tiiictly heard. The former was continuous, sharp, mid incessant, souiming like the constant and irregular pntteriugof hail upon | a roof, while tho latter wnsoeeasion illy suspend- I ol, hut while it lasted was over win lining! v graiul j J?-t.? n?I. ?

The sun was Tonkin a glorious setting in the west, ?nd hi* light gradually departed the vivi?l flashes at each disehmge of the cannon gleamed through the smoke like harp lightning through the breast of an enormous cloud. Sonio'imes only a single flash would be seen, then two or three nt once, nrid sometimes Jinlf a dozen would break '-irth in instant succes It wn? beginning to be dark when I turned to descend the hill, and nil the way down I still heard the roav of the cannon nnd u'.'C clattering ?>f the gone of the infantry. But the A''strums were clearly falling bock, nnd could scarcely i',nve foiled to sustain a t otal route. It is possible they may be in condition to make one more struggle in the morning, but, judging from my own olr servation, it certainly is not probable. They hove sustained an overwhelming defeat, ami it scenic to me. not unlikely that the Kinpcvor may /low lie induced, by the representation* of iho jieidrai l'owcra, to accept the peace whieh Napoleon will.be very likely to tender him. .lust before nightfall a tremendous cannonading was distinctly visible in the direction of Man' tun. and it was sup|toscd by one or two French officers that I'rinc'c S*IIpot<011 was assaulting that fortress a* .a pirt of i|?? fffltiei'd' plan of the day's |.. rati<MW, whifc the Ikjpsror was co.-,~^'n?

Tiie Zov.wf.*.?This cxlrnordinnrv boily of infantry originated in the wars of Algeria, where the Freneii found that soldiers differently trained from tiie rest of the array were necessary to coinpete with the swift and nimble Arabs. They are mostly natives vf France. A large number, however, are educated and drilled in Algiers.? They are inured to every hardship, learn active gymnastics of all kinds, tunning on both hands and feet, creeping, climbing, nn>1 practising n peculiar bayonet exercise, with hnyoucl? as ru zors, and in their hands ns available as small swords. The Baltimore American regards the>e ?oiis of Bothnia to lie thn-min-t effective infantrv in the world, as peculiarly fitted for the performance of bloody deeds, but utterly unfit for the lobcr ditties of life. Tiie editor asks: *' What is the mere momentum of a body of heavy men, mmpnred to tiie impetuous rush, the incredible igility, the terrible xkill. the tiery intrepidity of the Zouave sthletcs. They are cnvalrv and' in 'antry combined. Whether there are any troops in the world who enuld withstand their lightning-like assaults, may well he doubted. The rifles that did such murderous havoc u(mhi I'nckenh'im's divisions front hehiud the cotton bale* it New Orleans, might cheek them by dealing instant death tijioii two-tldrds or four-tilths ot their iiuoiIkT ; but bayonet to Imyuust, the hnrdv ind gallantTennosseeansand Kentitekians would go down before them. Their match is not in all the earth." Ricklf.s axo ins Wife.?The New York Tribune of Tuesday has the following: *" We are credibly informed from various sources that the Hon. Daniel R. t?iekles has heeome entirely reconciled with his wife, and is now living with her in uinrital relations, as before lite death of the lute Philip Hilton Key. We are also assured tlntf in taking this remarkable step, Mr, Sickles has alienated himself from most, if not nil of those personal and political friends who devotedly adhered to him during his recent imprisonment ami trial. * i lie reconciliation nctuccn .?ir. ami air*, ruckle# wai consummated. ni we ore informed, while Mr. S. was residing at the house of o friend on the Plonmihgdale Road, about half n mile from the former house of Mr. S , which for wine time past Mr#. Sickles has occupied, either alone or with some of the ntemliers of lo-r own familv.? The suspicion of his host were excited hy the repeated absence of Mr. S. at unusual hours; and wh?n he came in very early one morning lie xvns interrogated hy the host and another friend who was present, and on hi# positively denying their right to question him nint refusing to??ive an explunntion, they shook hands with him for the lust time and he withdrew.
