The Austrians were defeated, with the loss of 25,000 killed and disabled, and 5,000 taken prisoners. The French loss is stated at 12,000. Emperor Napoleon, in his dispatch to the Empress at the Tuilleries, claims n decisive victory, saying that his army took 7,000 prisoners, disabled 12,000, and took three cannons and two standards. He estimates the loss of his own army at 3,000, but it was rumored in Paris that the French loss was between 9,000 to 12,000. It is reported there were from 150,000 to 180,000 Austrians, and French engaged in the battle. The Austrian accounts differ widely from those of the French.

Espinasse of the Second Corps D’Armee was killed and Marshal Canrobert was mortally wounded.

Four Austrian Generals and five staff officers were wounded, at the battle. There had been a general revolt at Milan, and the people had declared in favor oi the King of Sardinia. The Austrians had retired from Milan, but the city had not yet been occupied by tli? French.

The Times this morning publishes a summary of ttie official news received at Vienna up to midnight of Monday.
