M.—Ou Monday tlio 211(1 of July, l’riuce Frederick Charles Imllttl with tiro Ist Army of Kommcbitz in order to allow the Crown Prince time to come up to Milotiu, a town five miles cast of tho villiago of Commcnitz, and to get information of tho movements of the Aus trians. That afternoon he sent rut two cfiie.rs to reconnoitre beyonl 11 iritz ; both fell in with Austrian troops, and had to fight and ride hard to bring back their in formation. Maj. Von Ugar, who went in the direction of Konnigratz, csonrted by a fjw dreg ns, came upoa a large force of Austrian cavalry and Jaggare, buforo he got to the little river Bisiritz, over which the road from lloriiz to Konnlggratz crosses about half way between the two towns. A squadron of cavalry made an immediate dash to catch him, arid be and bis dragtfons bad to ride for their livot. The Austrians pursued, and those best mounted carno up with the Prussians, not ia suffi dent num bers however to stop them, and after a run ning skirmish, in which Von Ugar reotiv ed a lance thrust in the side which carried away most of bis coat, but hardly tho efciD, tbisreconnoitring pariyhafelv gained the ou'- posts of their own army. More on the Prussian right the other reconnoitring officer also found tho Austrians iu force, and was obliged to retire rapidly. lirom the re ports of theso tfficers, and from other infor mation, Prince Frederick Charles determin ed to attack, so lajt night, he issued orders for the immediate advunce of his own army beyond Iloritz, and . sent Lieutenant Von Normand with a letter to the Crown Prince asking him to push forward in the mornirg from Millotin, and attack the right flmk of the Austrians, while ho attacked them in the front. There was some fear that the Austrian cavalry patrols and detachments which were prowling about, would iutercept the aid-de-camp, and stop the letter, but Van Normand succeeded in avoiding them and got safely to tl c Crown Prince’s headquarters at one o’clock this morning, and rej fined Prince Frederick Charles at 6 o’clock to report the success of his mission and to bring to the loader of the F’irst Ar my an assurance of the eo-oporation cf the fjecond. Had this aid de camp been taken pii-oner or killed rn tho way, his loss would have influenced the whole campaign for on that letter depended in a great meas ure the issue of to-day’s battle. Long btfire midnight the troops were all in moiian, an lat half past one in the morn ing the G ncral Stall left Koiumcnitz but” was generally hidd n behind a cloud and then could be distinctly seen the de caying bivouac firts in the places which had been occupied by the troyps along the road. These fires 1 inked like largo will o’- the-wis| s as their flames flickered about iu the wind, ami stretched for many a mile, for theio are 150,000 soldiers with the First Army alone, and the bivouacs of so great a force extended over a largt exten* of country. Day gradually began to dawn, and with the first symptoms of sunrise a drizzling rain cauie and continued till late in the aftorhoon. The wind increased, and blew eol lly on the soldier", for they were short of both sleep ands tod. At day break the troops had taken up their positions to attack the Austihns. The main body of the army was at Mol owi*z a viilxge on the road from lioePz to K mniggratz tho 7th division under Gencr al Fraiokey, was a'C-tsckwi'z on tho loft, an i the 4th aud s'h divisions at tho vi lsges [ofßristaw and Psawk on the right, while General Von Bittertiold with the Bth and part of the 7 1 h Corps d' Armec was sent to the town of Newbisdaw, ou tho extreme right, ten miles from MilowitZ’ About 4 o’clock, the army began to advance and marched slowly up the gentle bill which leads from Mo.owitz to the village of Dub five mil 's nearer Konaigratz. The corn lay heavy an tangl and on the ground from the rain , the skirmishers pushed tbrough it nirnb'y, but the batallious that followed be hind in crowded columns toiled beavly through the down beaten crops, and tho ar tillery borfes had to pull hard on their tra ce" t > get the gnn carriages over the stickcy soil. At 6 the whole army was up to Dub, but it was not allowed to go up to the sum mit of tho slope, fi r the ridge ou which Dub stands, concealed all its motions, aud the Austrians could see nothing of the troops collided behind the crest, and perhaps thought that no Prussians were near except ordinary advance posts, for the cavalry vi dettes, which bad been pu-hed forward thuß far over night remained ou (he top of the ridge as, if nothing was goiug ou be tini them. From the top of the slight elevation on which the villiageol Dub stands, the ground slopes gently down to the river Bistriiz, which the road cresses attbe villago of Sadowa, a mile end a quarter from Dub. FiOui Sadowa the ground again rises beyond Bigtlitz, and to the little v liage of Lissa, couspicious by its church tower standing at the top of the gentle bill, a mile and a ouarter irem SadoWa. A person standing this morniug on the lop of the ridge saw Sa dowa below him built, of wooden cottages, surrounded by orchards, aud could distin guish among its houses several watermills but these were not at work, for all the in habitants of tbo tillage bad been sent away and a white coat hero and there among tbe cottages was not a peasent’s blouse, but tbe uniform of an Austrian soldier Three quarters of a mile down tbe Bitritz a red brick house, with a h : gh brick chimney near it, looking like a manufactory, and some large wooden buildings along side it were unmistakably warehouses. Close to these a few cottages, probably meant for tbe workers employed in tbe manufactory, com pleted tbe viiliage of Dohiliii z A little more mile still further down the Bristri z stood the village of Muk nwcii", like most Uohon itn country vil lages, built of pin wood cottages cnßlnstsreJ iu orchard trees. The chateau of Dohn'iebh stands midway between Btrhilnilz and Molt rnwens a" a knell overhanging tho river. Behind D diilntiz and between that, vilV'CO and the highroad which rtios through Si dowa, thert lies a large thick wood. Many of tho trees had been out down about ten fret above the ground, and the cot down branches had been twist 'd together between the s’anding trunks of the trees whi It were nearest to the river, to make an entrance into the w od from the front extremely dfli cult. On the open slopo between Dotjllnirz and Dobalioha along tie' ground, there seemed to run o dark (letted lino of stum py bushes, but tue telescope showed that these were guns, and that this battery alone contained 12 pieces. Looking to the left, up the course of the Uistrltz, the ground was open between the o-ehards of Sadrrwa and the trees which grow around Benatelr, whi h marked the right ortho Austrian position, except whore, midway between theso villages, a broad bolt of fire wood runs lor three quarters of a mile.— Above and beyond these villages and wood" in the course of the river, the spire of Lissa w»p seen below it a few houses, gardens, and patches of fire-wood, and a little to tho 1011, rather down tho hill, were seen the cottage of the hamlet of Chisliwea. Tho air was thick an 1 hazy, tho ruin came down steadily, and the wind blew bitterly cold, while tho infantry and ar i’ltfy were waiting bohind the brow ofthe hill near Dub At seven o’clock Prince Fodowek Lhar es pushed f rward liis cavalry and horse artillery. They moved down tho s’ope towards the Histritz at a g'ntlo trot, slipping a bruit on the greasy ground, but keeping most beautiful lines; the lunch flagon tho Uhlens, wot with tho rain, fl ip ping heavily against the staves. At the bottom of the hill tho trqpipets sounded, and in making their movements to gain the bridge (lie squadrons began wheeling and hovering about ho si Jeof the ri er, as if they courted the tireof the enemy. Then the Austrian guns opened upon them from a battery p’aced in a field near the villam at which the main road crosses the liis tritz, and the batt’eof Sadowa b gan. The first gun was fired about half jast 7 The Prussian Horse Artillery, chute drawn down the river, replied ti the Au-ti i tn guns, but neither side fired heavily, aud for half an hour tl e cannon c insisted of but little more than single shots. At a quarter be fore 8, the King of Prussia arrived on the field, and very soon after the Horse Artille ry were reins roeti by other field battines, aud the Prus-ian gunners bi g in firing their shills into the Austrian posi ian. But es soon as the Prussian fire actively commenc ed, Austrian guns seemed to appear, as if by. magic, in every point of tho positiou; from every road, from every village, from oVMirtt ot it natek, 6 i t’Cr It f , cutne flashes of fir.) and whizzing rifle shells, which, bursting with a loud track,sent the.r splinters rattling among the guns, gunnets, carriages, aud horses, oft u killng a man or horse, aud sometimes dismounting a gun, but always plowing up the earth aud scatter ing the mud in the men’s faces. But the Austrians did u t emifiDe themselves to fir ing on the artillery alone, lbr they threw their shells up the tl ipo oppo-ito to them, towards Dub, and one shell catne slap into a squadron of Uhlans, who were close beside llte King; burying itself with a heavy thud in the ground, it blew up columns of mud some tiO feit in the air, and bursting a mo moLt after, reduced the squadron fout lilts. As soon as the canuonadin front beoatne serious, the guns of the 7th (Jivisim b gan to bombard the village t f Ben&tck, on tfio Austrian rigl-t. The Austrians returned shot f r shot aud neither side either gained or lost ground. In the centre, too, the bat tlo was v-'ry even ; the Prussians pushed b it'ery after battery into aciim, aud kept up a trmendeus firo on the Austrian guns, but these returned it and sometimes with inte.- esq for tho Austrian artillery officers kuow tl eir ground and every shell fell true; ma ny officer) and ruon 1:11, and many horses were killed or wounded. More Krauken trngers were sent down to the batteries, and always returned carrying ou stretibers men whose wound; hud been hastily bouud up under fire, but who seemed to he loj much stunned to suffer mush from pain. Gradually the Prustian cannonade ap peared to get strong! r, and the Austrian battcrries be tween D the nizt and Doha i :bu retired higher np the hi)J ; but tlio gunr at Mokrowens still stood fast, and the Prussians had net yet crossed tho Bistriz ; but many guns were now turned on Mokrowens’ and at ten o’clock the battorry there was also obliged to retire a little. Whilo tlis carnonade had been going on, seme of the infantry had been moved dawn towards the river, where they took shetier from the fire under a e nv< niont andu'a'-ioa of ground. Tbo Sth Division esmedown oh the left-hand side of the causeway, and, un der the cover of tho rising in the ground, formed its columns for the attack on the vil lage of Sadowa; wb la the 3d an 1 4th Dt visions, on the right hand side of tbe road, prepared to storm Doheloitz aud M iltrowons But a li tie before their preparations were complete, the villago of Bcnatek, in the Austrians’ rigl t, caught fire, and the 27th Division made a dash to secure it, but the Autt i it s wero’n t drivi n out by the fl imes -aud bore the first time ia the battle wu th re hand to band figbtihg. Tbe 27th lleg. led the attack,and rushed into the orchards of the villcge, and burning houses separated the comb tants, tbey,poured volley rfter vol ley at each other through the fltmes , but the Prussians found means to got round the burning bouses, and taking tbe defenders in reverse, forced them to ritire with tbe loss of many prisoners. It was ten o’clock when Prince Frederick Charles sent General Sruhnapl to order the attack on Sadowa, Dobelniz, and Mok ro wans. The column advanced covered by skirmishers and reached the river bank with out much loss; but from where they bad to fight every inchtl th. ir way. Tbe Aus rian infantry bold tho bridg sand villages in force, and fired fast upon them as they ap preached. Tho Prussians could advance but slowly along tho naartw ways and again"t tho defeners rs the house", and the volley sweeping through tlio ranks seemed to.tear the s ddiers down. The Prussians (trod much morcquickly than tho opponents hut they eould not see to takj aim; the houses, trees, and smoko fr ttl tho Austrians discharges shtonded tho villages. Shelter ed by this, the Austrian Jugers find 11 nd lv. and the Prussian, could tell, by hearing, h rc tho attacking a dumns wore, and tbo shots told tremendously on tho Prussians in their oloso formation* ; but tho latte r im proved their position, although slowly, and bydiitof sheer courage and perservanc, for they lost men at eiory yard of their ad vanoe, and in somo places almost paved the way with wounded. Then, to help the in fautry, tho Prussian artillery turnel its firo, regardless of tbs enemy's b ittcrios, on the villages, und made tremendous havoe among tho houses. Mokrowens Dohelnitz both caught on lire, and tho shells fell quickly and with foirful eT o* among tho defence - * of the 11 tming hamlets'; the Au-tri* i guns als) played upon-the attacking infantry, bet at fitis tiane these were sheltered from their fire by the houses and trees between. Tn and around the villages the figb'ing cotinned for nearly an hour . then the Aus trian infantry, who had been there, driven out by a rush of thr Prussians, retired, hut only a little way up tho slope into a line with their batteries- The wood above Sa ddwa was strongly held, and that betweon Sxliwiani Ho tatek, teeming with riflemen, stood to bur the way of the 7<h Division. But General Frantky, who ooiuirwnds this Division, was not to be easily stopped, and he sent bis infantry at the wood and turned ois nrtilleiy on the Austrian batteries. The 7th Division began firing into tho treos, bat stand they could make no impression, foe the defenders wore cocealed, and mus ketry fire was usd 'ss against them. Then Fransky let them go, aud they dashod in wi'h the bayonet. Ti.e Austrians would not retire, but waited for the s'uggle, and in the wood above Bonatek was fought but one of the fierce* combats which the war has seen. The 27<h Prussian regiment wont in nearly 3,000 strong, with 90 offiarrs, aud came out on the further sile vt h only two officers and between 300 and 400 men stand ing ; all the r st were killed er wounded. Too other regiments of the division also suf fered much, but notin the samo proportion ; but the wood was carried. The Austrian line was driven in on both flanks, but its commander formed anew line of hatlki a little higher up the hill, round Lissa, still Ii and ting tho hill which lies above Sadowa.— The Prussian arii lory was sent across the Bi-tritz, and began to fiiro upon the new Austrian position. At tho samo titno the smoke of General Ilerwerth’s advance was gradually seen moving towards tho Auslriau 1 ft; fur he lntd atNechauitz, a village about 7 miles lower down the Histritz than Bsdowa, Aus'rian cavalry, amt was driving them towards the posit; uat Lissa, himself f>l lowing in such a direction Trut it append hq w. ttltl turn the Au-trian left flank. Hut the Austrian Commander sanrned dittrutin cd to bold his-position, and heavy manses of iufantry and cavalry hud been seen on the upper part of the slope' The Prussian infantry, which , had trken the villages of 8 tdowa and Dotal hits, was now sent against the wood, which above these plaoes, runs along side of the Sadowa and Li pa road. They advanced against it, but did not a* first make much iuiprc's'on, for, the Aus'aisns being here again conccal ■d, the fire of the necdlc-gun did not tell and a v. h'le bait ry placed at tho far end of the wood fired through tbc tLi'-k trees, jiud told on the Piusian ranks with awful i fleet. But the nssni'ants fought on, at hist broke down the ob tunics at tho entrance, and then dashed in The fight ing eoiiinued fr m tree to tree, and tho Austrians made many a rush to recover the lost posit on of the wood, hut in this close-fighting their boyish troops wont down like ninepins before the s t ng men ofthe Blh Division; but when the defen ders drew back a lit tie, and their artillery played into tho trees, tho Prussians suf f red fearfully, and about h If way up in the wnud the fight became stationary. At tLi-i time the Austrian artillery were makirg sphodtil p- act’ce, and about one o’uloek the whole battle lroe of the Prussians ooitM gain no more ground, and was oblik cd to fight hard to retain the pesitim il had won At one time it seemed ns if it would he lost, for the guns had been drimouotod by the Austrian tire, and in ti e wooded tirouud the needle-gun had do fair field, aud the infantry fight was very equal Then Prince Frederick Charles sent the sth »nl flthDividons forward. They laid the’r it lmets onl knapsacks on the ground, and advanced to the river. The King was near to BLdrit*, snl the troojs cheered him 1 'udly as they marched in'o the bottle. They went over the Sadowa bridge, uisap beared into the wood, and soon tho increas ing m i-e of musketry to’d they had begun to fight ; hut the Austrian gunners sent salvo oftcr strive among them,'and they did not push the battle forward more than a few hur.dr and yard", for they fell back themselves and they conld not reach the enemy. Not only the fragments cf tbo shell fly about among their ranks, hut the portions of the trees, torn by the a t.

The embke of his musketry and artillery, which had hitherto be-n pushing lot ward steadily st od s ill for a time. Fr.onsky’s cut to pi ces, could not be sent forward to attack the Sadowa wood, for *liey would have exjosed them selv sto have been tak- n -n r. ar by tbe arti lery on the right of the Austrian lino f rmed in front of Li pa. All tho ar ilterv was engag' and except eight bat'erhs, and die o had to be retained in case of a re verso, for at one time the firing in the Sa dowa wood, and of the I’rus ian artillery on tho slope, seemed ■■ linost drawing back toward* Bistritz. The F.rst army was certainly checked in its advance, if not ac tually being pushed back. Then the Prus sian commanders began to look anxiously VOL. I. NO. W. *o the left for the coming of tho Crown Prince. Somo Austrian guns near Lip;* wore saon to bo firing towards the Prus sian left, and was hoped they rrfight be di | roctet! against tho advanced guard of the Second army, but at 3 o’clock there w ro ro sig '8 ol Prussiun columns advancing against Lipa. The Gene als became man ifestly ttneisv, and they drew tho infantry out of the battle, cavalry was also formed up, so that it would be available either for the pursuit of tho Austrians, or for retard ing their pursuit, nnd Gm. Von lihetz himself went off to look for the Scoond army. But he soon returned, and brought the intell peace that the Crown Prince was forming his attack on Lipa, and that the' guns on tho Austrian right had been firing against his troops. Then the First tr ny took heart again. The Sadowa wood was carried, and the battery beyond it was stormed by the .Taggers. At half-past 3, tho Crown Prince’s co'umns were seen moving across the slope against Lipa, for hi< attiltery had s’lcnced the Austrian gucet and Hhr worth was again pressing forward against the Austrian left. In a quarter of an hour tho Crown Prince’s infantry was engaged at Lipa, and their quick volleys of musketry, rapi dy advancing, told that tho Austrians were in full retreat. The FirA army pushed forward at once, the artillery limbered up land galloped up the slope, coming into action on every opportunity to send is shells against the retreating bat talions, the iufantry emerging from tho the wood, formed and pressed at the double Pfineo Frederick Charles put himself at the bead of his regiment, and dashed over tho Sadowa bridge and up the road, followed by all his light cavalry. On gaining the top of the Lipa slopes tho retreating battalions of the Austrians wore seen running across a hollow ia the ground which lies between Lipa and the village of Strese’.itz, which lies about two miles further south. The Prussian artillery ha.ted-on the.sutnm't of the Lipa hill and fired shells rapidly, which burst with terri ble prsc'sioii over the heads of the fugitives. The cavalry fled forward in pursuit, but tbo Prince after leading a short way, had to go to superintend the 1 general movement, for tho Austrian battories had taken post on the Streselitz ridge, and were firing heavily against tho pursuing Prussians Then the cavalry got out of hand, and by small detachments rushed on the Austrian battalions ; but these, though retreating fast, were not routed, and in many in stances best off the cavalry, who also, suf fered much from tho Austrian artillery, for tbo shells burst rej»eutedly among the' squadrons, and killed many men and horses. But the Austrian guns were driven off their ridgo by the heavier fire of the more numerous Prussian ba'teries, and then the pursuit was renewed. Some of the re treating Austrians made for the fortress of Knii/gratz, others for Pardub'tz, and roaus. ino vrouriueu won were tying orr the ground shrieked with fear when they saw the cavalry galloping and >wn towards them, but Prince Frederick Chatles took care that they should be avoided, and at one time checked th i pursuit, in order to move his squadrons around, and not gor through n patch of standing corn, where s: ver.tl wounded Austrians had taken re fuge. These, when they saw Lancers coming, thought they were going to be massacred, and cried piteously, waviffg white handkerchiefs as a sign of truee ; but Urey had no cause to fe ir. Large numbers of prisoners were taken, for the pursuit was continued to ttie Kibe, and it was not till 9 o’clock that the firing cessed, but the main body of the army halted about 7.—• A8 tbo "Princes returned the battalion chce:od them for their victory; but they left the pursuit of their enemies and the cheers of their own victorious troops to look after the hospital accommodation provided for the wounded. These lay in immense numbers in the field ; the dead, too, laid thick, but all that they require will do done to morrow- Every cottage in the m Ighhorhood that has not been burnt is full of wounded. Aus trians and Prussians lie side by side, l<ut the Krankentrageis are still out, and all will sot bo collected until late ttwnorrow morning. Con-picuous in the hospitals, working diligently in their voluntary labor, are the Knights of 8t John of Jerusa'em, ThisUrder of Knighthood, renewed lately for the suec<>r of ttie weux and suffering, has « nt hero a large hosptal e tablisb ment, under the direction of Count Thee* dore Stolberg. From the voluntary con tributions of the Knights, hospitals are maintained in the nearest towns and in the field, all necessary hospi>al stores are car ried by the Order, and means of transport accompany the army, hospital nurses are provided, and by their aid many wounded are t:a,i fully aUc ded who could not be looked after by the ordinary arrangements. Tire batttie ol Sadow’a has been a great victory to the Prussian army : the troops fought with the most determined courage, they stood for hours under a forcible fire, tor there are supposed to have been 1,500 guns in uction of which 750 Prussians. The immediate cause of thej. victnry was the Crown Prince’s attack djf tho Austrian left flauk, which turned the position, Lut the attack in front bad a great effect on the issue; a* unless it bad been steaddy maintained, the Austrians might have repul ei the attack on flank. It is the opinion of the Prussian Gener als t at the Austrian retreat was roost skill ful, at.d that their arti lery was excellently ha- died. The I. umber of treops engaged ch the Prussian »de was about 250,000. The Austrians are supposed to have had almost an equal number. No details have vet been received ol the number of klled wounded or prisoner*.
