It la a most agreeable summer residence." The mot has
been extensively circulated as conclusive evidence of the

BRAVERY OF TBI AUSTRIANS. .
A Milan correspondent writes:?I travelled to Milan In
company with an Austrian captain, male pdnoner at Magenta.
He told me that he had had wita him SOU naea,
with whom he entrenched himself in a large house, 1
which be defended against the attack* of the soldiers of
the division I,a Mottorouge, until all his meu were either
killed or wounded, except a young sub lieutenant and a ' private.
Seeing himself thus led nearly alone, tie descended
into the street, in the hops of being killed But
although the balls whistled about htm In every direction
he remained untouched He again entered a house, and
continued to flgbt on until ho and the two others were at
Uii made prisvnois. He was taken befo.-o a general '
officer, whoto baino be does not knew, but wbo said te
bim and to tbe other officer, " You bars conducted yourselves
so bravely as to merit to keep your swords, and,
therefore, I return them to you." And, in fc'., tha cup
tain wore bis sword in the railway e image. This officer
spoke French exceedingly well, and assured me that thorn
was not a single general iufYuice whose services and character
were not well known in Hermany.

were well clotbea, mostly in the uniform of tbe liae.
There were not more than half a dozen troopers among
them. One, a Hulau, was invested with authority, aui
would bo a match for any Freuou lancer. There were ?
but few Bnngamns, cod only two tyrolese ridemen, so
far ae I could make out. They all expressed themselves
perfectly satisfied with tbe food and treatment they had
received from tbe French. Tbey raid they had nothing
to complain of except their loes or liberty, aod readily
obeyed the orders of a good nalured French non commis- cloned
officer from Alsace, who spoke to them in Garma*,

by the agitation of tho mornunt, tbo dread of what

THE " EQUIPAGES MILITAIItES"-?AUSTRIAN EN A
0 INHERING.
A Novara letter says:?Some idea may be formed of the
prodlgloot amount of nftterhi kept oonstaatly on the
move for the requirements of the allied armies, when I
ttato that tho post running from Vorcelil to this piaoe is '
unable to proceed, the road being for ten miles blocked A
up with two close continuous lines of caissons, ammuni- *
tion wagons, ambalance carts, tbo "equlpagos mllltalres,"
stores of uvery description, Jtc.j tbe confaston is immense.
Now and then an oocusloaui break down occurs, which, *1
of course, for the time being, blocks the whole line,
wheels got Interlocked, and In tbe general crush travel
along In company fastened together. Now and then aa
uofonunato cart is met coming fromun opposite direction;
there is no help for it, and bendicg to the tide of circumstances,
it quietly jotos the rank and slowly ropacei the
journey already nearly accomplished. This immense
train will probably not arrive till to morrow, and lu tun
meanwhile active preparations are being made to have
tbe bridges repaired against their arrival. By-tne-by.I
took an opportunity of examining the bridge wtiioh the Austrians
blew up on retiring across tbe Seals at Vorcslli. I '
never saw s more perfect piece of engineering in my life.
The very foundations were blown to atoms, and such as from
tbeir depth in the soil of the river escaped, the bases
have been so looeened and shattered that it oilers a most
serious obstacle to the French engineers in their endeavors
to repair the two arches oestrcyed, as they have literally
to dig out tho debris before they can renew the foundation.
