Our troops, under Gen. Ladmiraolt, attacked those

upon the village. The Austrians, being outflanked,
withdrew. The Z niaves sustained a murderous hand

‘ihe so lowing despatch, from the Ma or General
of the French army to the Minister ol War, has
been published in Paris :
“Milan, June ‘J. —After the victory at Magenta
the Austrians made a precipitate flight from Milan,
leaving in the citadel 41 brass cannon, a great
quantity of ammunition, ana provisions in abun
imnce, retreating towards Lodi and Pavia. On
the Br,h hia the Emperor gave orders to
Marshal Para uny and liilliers to occupy the position
ul Maleguauo, (Margnano) whence we menaced at
the same time two of the retreating columns of the
enemy , but the Austrians, who fully comprehended
air the importance of holding Melegnano to cover
their retreat, taking advantage of the remains of
the fortifications surrounding the town, had strongly
barricaded themselves therein. Marshal Paraguay
d’Hiliiers, who arrived before the place at four
o’clock, immediately gave orders for the attack in
front by tiio divisions ofiiazaine and Ladmirault,
while at the same moment the division ot Gentral
Forey was ordered to turn the place. The battle
lasted at least three houi. . The enemy opposed a
most energetic refinance to the eflurts of our
soldiers, and were dielodged by the bayonet from
iutrenchment to intreLchmciil, and fr. m house to
house, and only withdrew at 7 in the evening,
leaving the place covered with deuc, one of their
cannons in our possession, and about a thousand
prisoner. This splendid result, however, has been
dearly purchased, our loss amounting to 50 ofliccrs
and 80(1 men killed and wounded.
“We learn at this moment that the Austrians have
eva< uated Pavia and Lodi, and recrossed the Adda,
oestroying the bridges.”

Alt c fliuial detailed report of the affair at Malegna
no and the evacuation of Piacenza is published.—
Jt slows that the French force was greatly superior
to ours, and that the enemy’s loss was considerable.
Our retreat was effected in perfect order. Gentral
line was killed, and numerous officers died a heroic
death. The evacuation of Piacenza was performed
in connection with the movements of the army on
the ‘Jth and 10th iut:t. The greater part of the can
non was stowed away in vessels, and the lew re
maining spiked. The forts and block houses and
two arches of the bi idge over tho Trebbia were
blown up. Fizzighetione was also evacuated,
wita similar precautions, and in perfect order.
Evacuation of Piacenza—Destruction of

Verona, June 11, (via Vienna.) —The seat of
the chief government authorities of Lombardy has
been transferred to Mantua,.
The Austrians in full Retreat Turin ,
June 1 1 —The Ausirinns are in full retreat in the

Lot is Napoleon and the Papal Authority. —
The Times correspondent remarks that, aa Lom
bardy and Tuscany are occupied by the French,
the eumm*uiug of the Italiaus to arms by the Em
peror’s proclamation, doubtless applied to the
Pontifical States and the Neapolitans. We may,
therefore, expect to see, before long, the Papal au
thority circumscribed to the city ot Rome and its
immediate suburbs. Pariua nas demanded French
troops. The reserves of the Imperial Guard leave
on Friday for Italy. Two divieioilfe of the army of
Lyons are a!so preparing to leave.
Austrian Council of War— Censure of Mar
shal Cynlui. —The Vienna correspondent ot the
Tunes, writing on the 10th instant, says: A few
days ago—probably on the sth instant—a council
of war was held at Verona, and almost all its mem
bers expreseed their disapproval of the dispositions
made by Count Gyulai on the 4th and sth instant.
The sitting is said to have been a stormy one ; and
it probably was so, as it is uow the question of the
immediate removal of the Commander of the 2d
Army. The Austrian Generals are disconsolate, as
they one and ail firmly believe that the Allies wouid
have been defeated on the sth, had an attack been
made on them by theteutresh brigades (two com
plete corps d'armee aud one division) which Count
Gyulai, on hi* own confession, had at his disposal,
ll is rumored that Baron Hess is to be Commander
in Chief, General Benedtk his Adlatue, and Geneial
Hamming his Quartermaster General. bat theonly
reliable news received from Verona is that Hess,
as Commander-in Chief, i* now engaged in re
orgauia.ng that part ot the 2d army which was op
posed to the Allies on the 4th and sth. It appears
that Gyuiai’s dispositions were eo execrably bad
that the Saido French army would have been able
to march to Milan with little molestation, had not
me vanguard of Clam’s corps chanced to arrive at
the Lombard capital on the 2d instant. As only
7,((t0 men of Clam s corps took part in the action,
nor more than 75,000 or 80,000 Austrians could
have been engaged on the 4! li h elanL The feeling
again.; the blundering commander is .0 strong, and
people so loudly aasert thal hie conduct ought to be
inquired into, that the police have considered it ad
vieable to arrest some of the coffee-house deolaim
srs. These step, however, ie a very imprudent one,
ae it ouiy serves lo increase the exasperation of the
public The loudest raiiers agaiust General Gyulai
are military men.
Ths Austrian Prisoners A letter from Buf
falora, dated the 6lb met, and published in the
Journal dee Debate, says : * 1 went yesterday to
see the battle field. A person who understood
German spoke to some prisoners whom we met on
the road . they were ail Hungarians. ‘We should
not have been taken unlees with our own will,’ they
said we gave up because we hate the Austrians
as much as the Krone i themselves do. Do not,
thei store, believe we ehouid have been otherwise
taken. We were engaged in the war of 1848. It
was impossible to discover the slightest trace of
braggadocio in this language. It was said simply
with the accent of truth. I will now give you
some idea of the manner in which a convoy of
prisoners is managed on the march. A platoon of
soldiers heads the band, aud another closes it.—
Ileie and there, at intervals, are soldiers on the
tianks AH have their muskets loaded. If a pris
oner attemp's to escape he is killed on the spot,
without any notice. and the same fate awaits them
it they refuse to advance, unless they are exhausted
and unable to proceed. If an enemy's force is
fallen in with, and an attack is apprehended, the
prisoners are ordered to lie down on the ground,
and if one of them attempts to rejoin his comrades
he is knocked on the head. The slightest attempt
at rebeHiou also bring* a volley. From these regu
lations it may be easily understood how readily a
small party of soldier* conduct a large body of
prisoners. ’ The convey which I met was not less
than 2.500 in number, aud the escort not more than
Go On their arrival at Novara, where a large
crowd awaited them, the Lombards at the head of
the column waved their caps with delight, and
looking up at the windows cried out, ‘ \ ive ! Italia
Viva la Francis.’ The Hungarians say nothing
Tie Germans are eiient/’
On mo* is France —H J Raymond, of the
New York Times, writing from Para on the lfith
June, says:
There is some excitement here just now concern
ing the course of Prussia. She has taken steps to
put some 250.000 joope in readiness for immediate
service, and the natural inference is that she in
tends to take an active part in the war. But this
ts bv no means a necessary deduction, ana the
general disposition is to aocoid credence to the
explanation of the official Gazette, and to regard
this announcement as merely a precautionary mea
sure on the part of Pruseia. and ae a means cf pro
tecting herself in case she ehouid be compelled to
denart from her position of neutrality. Until this
action was announced, the feeling generally pre
vailed here that the Emperor would suceeed in
localixingthe war. His proclamation to the Ital
ians has been well received everywteie, and has
strengthened the confidence, which the Coolest
minds have felt frem the commencement, in the
moderation as well as the justice of ins yirwe
concerning Italy. He will have a question of deli
cacy and difficulty to solve ill regard to t-.e Papal
States , hut with this exception, his way seems
clear. All declare that independence is w hat the
Italians need first of ail, and lhat so iar as Austria
is oußeamed, her domination in the Peninsula is
certain to be terminated b; Uits war, .
Hut how is it possible—s y the obstinate croak
er—‘hat a man who *> despotic at home ehou-d
give freedom abroad ? What can Liberalism any
wbere hope from the ant hr of the conp d'etat ?
This is literally the only argument (if it can so be
culled) which ;• urged against the war ; an j after
lie full di'coasion which tt.e subject ha* already
received in the Times, it is not necessary for me to
?ay anything inre of its weakness. It has ceased
indee.d to have ary special weight even with those
who urge it most. The French people themselves
have long since forgiven the author ot the coup
d'etat, and I verily believe that France never en
joyed a more thoroughly popular government, that
uhe never had one which in-*re eteadily consulted
the interests of thq great mass of the people, or
which was more warmly and etrenuou<*ly rupnoited
by them. It is quite c ommon iu the United States,
lam aware, to account for the almost unanimous
support which the Emperor Las received at every
popular election, by saying that the votes were
given under constraint, and that the sutfrage w&?
not Iree. To a certain this is probably true ;
but in spile ot ail deductions to be made on this
account, I believe three-lourths of all the people of
France would vote to morrow, if lefc perfectly
free, in :avor of Napoleon ill. and his Government,
as against any other that could be offered them
This opinion will probably shock the Tribune, but
I believe it to be just.
I had no intention, however, of writing a political
leit-r. The mail will cio.-e in an hour, and I havs
only time to record such incidents and impressions
as occur to me. The ma n tact which strikes me
lert illy is the popularity of the war, and it rests
not upon any excessive fondness for the glories of
victory, dear as glory always is to tLe heart ot a
Frenchman, but upon a firm and settled conviction
that the war is ti greatest step taken for many
years towards liberalizing Europe. It will lree
I'aiy from foie-ign doxn’nation ar.d leave her people
tree to govern themselves ; and it cannot fail, more
over, to react upon France hersell and lead to an
amelioration of the laws under which ehe has hither
to been held. The Emperor, after freeing Italy,
will b- strong enough iu the contidence of Fhowu
neop!e lo ventuie upo^giving greater lreedom to
France.
I eend y-m with this some very excellent maps of
the seat of war, which have been made by an c f
fleer of the Engineer Corps. They are more detail
ed an#complete thin any others I have yet seen.—
The three ;ur*t published will soon be followed by a
fourth, w’hich will give a complete view of the
scene upon which the next act of the great drama
is to be performed. It looks now aa if the Austrians
were seeking to avoid a general engagement,
and will fall back upon their lortified towns. For
a tune, therefore, tLe war will become an a air of
siegts. I intend to leave to-morrow evening
for Turin, and snail proceed at once to Milan,
and thence to the headquarters of the army, where
ever they may be. bo far a3 1 C:iu juuge there
is a general and warm desire on the part of the.au
thoiities to facilitate the movements of all who
have business m connection with tho army, and
great promptness in aiding, with reasonable re
etricticns and precautions, correspondents of the
public press. There has been a very deep feeling
of indignation here at tbo course of the English
preae in regard to the war. and especially at the
violence and injustice of the London Times. I was
told the other aay by a gentleman who had just ar
rived from the Biat of war that the Emperoi openly
expressed his astonish nent and surprise at the
course of the English government, which he did not
hesitate to denounce as perfidious.
Hut within the last tew days, and especially since
the defeat ot the Derby Ministry and the accession
of its old friend Lord Palmerston to powsr, tho
Times shows a more just appreciation of the merits
of ihe question, and 1 have very little doubt that it
will soon become a waim supporter of the Franco-
Sardinian policy iu regard to Italy. Hitherto it has
leaned strong y to the Austrian siie, and its corres
pondence has iieen mainly from the Austrian camp,
wuhiu the last week or two it has had some very
capital letters written by an cflieer in the French
uriny, and one of its correspondents at the seat of
war reached this city from Italy yesterday. The
correspondent of Morning Chronicle has also
returned, as have several of the writers for the Paris
press. They report that the service ia very ardu
ous. and that there is not likely to bo much more
hard fighting in the open iield. Several of the Paris
papers have had very excellent letters from t o seat
of war, as you will see from your tiles The New
Yoik Tinii.B will speedily be very efficiently repre
sented there.

THE VEKT LATEST NEWS.
The Austrians have, for strategic purposes, per
haps, retired to the Mincio, aud the allies, we are
told, are ia pursuit of them ; bat their where
abouts is not exactly indicated. The Emperor aud
the King have certainly removed their neadquarters
from iusiau; but obviously delay is considered
neeeseary by both armies. Francis Joseph has or
dered the despatch of all available troops from
Austria to Lombardy, and Louis Napoleon has
already received a portion of 100,000, to be imme
diately sent from France to Genoa, and across the
Aips. According to a \ lenna account, a great bat-
Le is iO D3 imHi ©clately risked ; and, as General
Gyuiai has hitherto been a total failure, the com
mand been taken from him and given to Gen.
Count Sctxick. Garibaldi maintains his ground,
according to cue account, and has been repulsed
according to another ; bu: circumstances were not
very urgent with him, for he had time to pay a visit
to the King at Miiar. It does not appear tka* he
had an interview with the Emperor, and it is now
pretty weii known that he is no favorite with Louis
Napoleon. Ou his part, the feeling is very ampiy
responded to. J
The accounts during the week from Prussia have
been very contradictory. It is stated that the
mobilisation of the Prussian army indicates an in
tention of operating in favor of Austria, and that
the allies, ou crossing the Mincio, will precipitate
the German and Prussian army into the field against
them. This, however, is denied; but there can be
no doubt that there is- a terrible excitement in all
tne German provinces against the French Emperor.
AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 13, 1859.
Whether if will manifest itself in action remains to
be eeen. The change of ministry in England will
not be without influence, for, although France re
joices in the triumph or her arms, the universal
wih ia for peace, and that object, it U thought, wiil
now be obtained by the interference of the British
cabinet. A knowledge of the same fact will not be
without ire influence in Prussia; and possibly the
belligerent powers may not be altogether indisposed
to admit the mediation of England. Austria cer
tainly will have very little confidence in Lord Pal
mers! on, but it may be otherwise disposed iu re
gard to Lord John Russell.
“ The wish is father to the thoughtand all good
men now desire a speedy termination to the war
If not speedily terminated, we can hardly escape
freing involved ia couseqaeLCee; for, although the
desire for neutrality is uow universal, a solitary
insult to the national honor would create a hostile
feeling iu forty-eight hours throughout the length
and breadth of the land.
The news from India is somewhat alarming. The
Brit eh army there are discontented, tor the identi
fication of the Company's army with that cf her

PROCLAMATION OF THE KING OF SARDINIA DEFINING
Hl9 POSITION.
The Piedmontese journals give the following as
the words of King Victor Emanuel’s declaration on
the dictatorship of Bologna being offered to him:
‘ You will please to inform the patriots of Bologna
that, in the present circumstances, any inoonsiderate
step or resolution might injure the cause of indepen
dence. Europe must not have any reaeou to accuse
roe of being actuated by personal ambition, and of
substituting Piedmontese absorption for Austrian
oppression. The Holy Father, the venerated chief
of the faithful, remains at the head of his people ; he
has not, like the Sovereigns of Parma, Modena, and
Toscany, laid down his temporal authority, which it
is our duty not only to respect, but to strengthen ; I
shall therefore discountenance any subversive act
contrary to justice and injurious to the cause we
serve. Let us not forget that Pius IX is an Italian
Prince.”
CIRCULAR OF COUNT CAVOUR ON AUSTRIAN BARBARI
TIES.
Count Cavonr has addressed the following Circu
lar to all the Minister and Representatives of Sar
dinia abroad:
Turin, June 12.
Sir: —ln a former circular despatch I had the
honor of informing the Legations of His Majesty of
the acts of spoliation committed by the Austrian
army in the Sardinian province which it occupied.
I now have to inform >ou that a judicial investiga
tion has been made. It will prove that Austria has
brutally violated the laws of war, and that the con
duct of her troops is not that which distinguishes
civilized nations. The results of this investigation
will be communicated in due time to the Legations.
But one fact has now been legally coe tinned which
I wish to bold up to the indignation of every Cabi
net of Europe. Published by the Press it might
cot be credited; tee Government must make it
known officially, and guarantee its truth.
Ou the 20th or May, the same day as the battle
of Montebeiio, at about 11 A. M., some Austrian
troops were encamped on the heights of Torricelia,
a small district of the province of Voghera. A
patrol, after having arrested the constable, ( huistier)
of the triocnal whom it met, and having compelled
him lo act as a guide, entered the village and pene
trated the house of the farmers Cignoli. Having
searched every part of the house the soldiers order
ed all the members of the Cignoli family and some
other persons who happened to be in the farm yard
to follow them. The search had resulted in the
discovery of a small leathern bag. containing a
smaii amount of Bbotipbrmb de ckasse.)
The persons arrested were nine in number—viz.,
Pierre Cigncli, 66 years of age ; Antoine Cignoli.
5n years ; Jerome Cignoli, 35 years ; Charles Cig
noii, 19 years ; Bartheiemy Cignoli, 17 years; An
toine &etti, 26 years Gaspard Ricbardi,4B years;
Hermenigilde San Peliegrin, 14 years ; Louis Ac
hiiie, 18 yeais. There were also an old man of 60
I and a child of! 4 years.
The patrol led them up to the Austrian commaa-
der, who was on horseback on the high road, in the
midst of his dud
After exchanging a few words in German with
the soldiers tn charge of the prisoners, the comman
dant told the constable who had served as a guide
to remain where he was. He then 1 rJered the
nine ujfoitunate peasants, who could not make
Tbemstlves understood, and who were trembling all
over, to descend into a path by the roadside ; they
had scarcely gone a few steps when the comman
dant gave a s-ignal to tbe platoon t > tire on them.
Eight ot these unfortunate men foil dead ; old (Jig
noli, mortally weunded, gave no signs of life. The
Austrian troops resumed their march, aud the com
mandant, turning to the constable, told him he
might go, and that be might not be detained by
other Austrian troops iu the neighborhood, he gave
bi n a card to present if necessary, a* a safe conduct.
This card was & simple visiting card, bearing under
a Count’s coronet, this name “Field Marshal-
Lieutenant Urban.”
This card is kept with the other documents of tbe
investigation.
Shortly afterwards, tbe inhabitants approached
the spot where this horrible butchery had taken
place. Old Ciguoli, who had recovered his senses,
was taken to the hospital at Vighera, where be died
tive days afterwards.
Such enormities need do comment. It is an
assassination as cowardly as it is vile, and cf which
at most an example could be found only among
savages and barbarians.
You are requested, S : r, to communicate this dis
patch to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the
Government to which you are accredited, and I
beg of you, at the same time, to receive the asmr
anceof my distinguished consideration.

El PRESS FROM PARIS.
The following is the letter of our Paris correspon
de-t, dated yesterday, .June 21, 6 P. M.:
The next news from the theatre of war is waited
for with an impatience which is not free from dis
quietude. There seems to be an instinctive feeling
that a battle ou the Mincio, w hether won or lost by
the French, will be followed up by the appearance
of some new actor on tbe scene. Some who hitherto
believed that the Emperor Napoleon could and
would limit hostilities 10 Italy, have changed their
views, auc unwillingly yield to the conviction that
if Prussia pursue the line she has entered on no hu
man efforts can prevent tho war from enveloping
the whole of continental Europe. W'hat may be the
secret wishes or hopes, 01 even fears, of the Empe
ror on this point it is difficult to guess; but that the
liual advantage is not ii tended to be left to him
may bo diviued by the exultations of the revolu
tionary party who, in spite of all he has done to
wards the liberation of Italy, clearly look to a s ate
of general confusion for the realization of their own
pecudar theories. The Emperor ij in error if lie
bo ievis that the war which ho has undertaken # to
obtain for the Italians that which is withheld’at
homo has really won him the affections of those
who have been ever hostile to the Imperial system.
These wiil of course cheer him on in the pursuit of
tte very wildest schemes; they wiil encourage him
to plunge recklessly into the moat dangerous enter
prises in order to profit by his difficulties at. the
proper moment. It the prospect be not very en
couraging even iu the event of a victory over the
Austrians, you may judge what would be the state
of public leeliug it rhe contrary occurred.
A private despatch has been received from Bres
cia stating that the Austrians had again occupied
Montechiaro, and this fact is calculated to confirm
tt.e aiflicipat.on that a great bu lle is at hand.
The following letter has been received iu Palis
from Venice, dated June 14:
“There was a long popu ar manifestation here to
day. A report was circulated this morning that the
French had arrived at Padua. I cannot guarantee
the truth of tbe report, but I can tell ufoat occurred
in Venice. People began to purchase cockade*
with the Italian colors, but not one dared to show
them. The streets were animated, but there was
but few Austrian officers to be seen, although the
coflee houses are generally tilled with them. To
wards 12 o’clock it was said there would be a
movement among the people, and the shops were
all closed. The crowd then began to fill the streets,
as well as the Piazza of S'. Marks. Hisses were
heard in front of the Austrian guardhouse at the
palace of the| ancient Doge. In half an hour the
Austrian colois were hoisted at ihe guardhouse,
and a patrol threatened the mob to fire if they did
not leave the passage free. The hisses as well aa
the crowd having increased, Ihe people W'ere sum
moned to disperse. They uid so, blit coutinu* and to
hiss. The crowd increased, and I saw we l-dressed
men excite the people to continue. At 7 o'clock
matters became more serious—the patrol wa3
insulted under my windows, and, alter further
warning, the soldiers knocked down some of the
people with tbe butt end of their muskets. An
officer commanded me to close my window, as his
men were about to fire. Ashot was shortly after
fired under my balcony. 1 went out at II o’clock,
and found the corners of the streets guarded by
double and triple sentinels, who refused to permit
any one to pass. The people were convinced that
the Austrians had capitulated, and that the French
would enter Venice the following day. The police
authorities then published a notice, to the efleot
that no military events had occurred but those
already announced. Order has not since been dis
turbed/*
Baron B.enier, the newly appointed French Min
ister to Naples, was expected to arrive this morn
ing at his destination. He proceeded by way of
Genoa, and then to Leghorn. From Leghorn he
went to Florence in order to have an interview
with Prince Napoleon, and tbeu without lc3 of
time started for Naples.
The Siecle declares itself opposed to any exami
nation at present of the various question connected
with the internal organization of tbe Italian States
which have declared themselves against Austria.
Referring to the visit of the Bolognese deputation
to the King of Sardinia, it says :
This is not tho moment to discuss tbe important
question of the temporal power of the Pope The
inhabitants of the Romagna and the Legations
should give peaceful expression to the wishes which
they have a right to indulge , they have to be de
livered from the brutalizing yoke of the cardinals,
aud to have liberal institutions at last guaranteed
to them. But it is certain that their desires cannot
be realized, and that the problems of internal poli
cy cannot be resolved before the complete expul
fcion o. the foreigner. Let all true Italiaus, there
fore, lend their aid to drive the Austrians from the
Peninsula, and, when that ehall be accomplished,
it will be time to ascertain what institutions are
most suitable for Italy, and to discuss the grievan
ces of the population. At the piesent moment
good sense and sound policy are bjlb opposed to
complicating the external question by the addition
of the serious difficulties attending the organization
of enfranch sed Italy. Let us repeat the pbraee of
the Chief of the French Government —“Italians!
be soldiers to-day, and to-morrow you will be ihe
free citizens of a great country.”
Vienna, June 19.—A letter addressed to an ac
quaintance of mine, an inhabitant of Vincenza
states that above 1009 wounded men are now lying
in the hospital of that city, and it mu3t be concluded
that he has paid them a visit, a3 he remarks that
the officers aud privates who are leas severely in
jured kill time by railing at Gyulai. This morning
information was given me that the whole country
up to Graz, in Styna, and Brixen, in the Tyrol, is
lull of hospitals and infirmaries, to which the
wounded and sick will be gradually removed. It
was not till yesterday that we learnt what became
of the Ist and 2d corps d'armec after their retreat
from Magenta during the night of the ltb in-t.—
They reached Milan in tbo evening of tho sth, and
marched, “without taking any refreshment there,”
by way of Malegnano, to Lodi. By a letter of the
12th, from Milan, we learn that Louis Napoleon aud
Victor Emanual appeared at the Seala in the eve
ning of the Bth inst. The “toilette” of some of the
ladles displayed the national tricolour, and the male
fashionables wore three-colored cravats.
By an official despatch from /ora of the 15th
iost., we learn that the Pomena ( !) and Pairas,two
steam frigates, eave cast nebor at Antivari, aud
that the approaching arrival of twenty other French
ships of war has been announced.
The night before last the Vienna populace dis
played a strong inclination to “ lynch ” a vagabond
who was being conducted to prison by two police
men. The man, who was supposed to be a French
spy, would probably have lost his life if troops had
not opportunely come to the rescue. The disturb
ances at Venice on the 13th inst. might have been
very serious had Lieuteuaut General von Alemann
displayed leas energy. The place of St. Mark was
immediately occupied by troops, and the soldiers
who were attacked in the streets were permitted to
make use of their weapons. Many persons were
arrested, and on the 14th everything was perfectly
quiet. A report that Venice was to be surrendered
to the Allies in three days was the cause of the
movement, which was encouraged by bands of half
intoxicated men, who paraded the efty with tri
colored ribands and cockades.
From Constant nopie, we learn that the Sultan
went to the landing place to receive the Grand
Duke Constantine and the Grand Duchess Alexan
dra, who arrived at the Turkish capital on the 6th
instant.
The Parma Gazette publishes the following ac
count of the taking of Brescelio by four gendarmes :
“Captain Lafouge, Aide-de-Camp of Gen. d'Au
temarre, with four Parmesan gendarmes on horee
back, and a lieutenant of that corps, went on the
morning of the 14th from Parma to reconnoitre
Brescelio. which was known to be occupied by 100
men of the Este troops. From the tower of Lenti
gione C'apt. Lafouge was not able to distinguish
any movement of troops, and|he accordingly advan
ced to the fortifications. There two of the gendar
mes begged to be allowed to explore Brescelio
alone,and, although the captain endeavored to dis
suade them, they gallopped with their sword drawn
towards the pallieades. They were soon followed
by two other gendarmes, and the two officers.—
Ihe four gendarmes not meeting with any
tance at the first barrier, thought it was guarded
by 15 soldiers, went on to the principal square; and
there a detachment df the guard, learning that a
French officer accompanied the gendarmes, hasten
ed to surrender. The inhabitants then taking the
national cockade from beneath their clothe.-:; cried
out, “LoDg live the gendarmes! Long live the
French !” The gendarmes subsequently returned
to Parma, where the French Coneul, informed by
the captain of what had taken place, congratulated
the commander of the gendarmes on the conduct of
his four men.”
The Parma Gazette publishes a proclamation, is
sued by Count Pallieri, Governor ot the Parmeee
Territory, in which he officially announces that he
has taken possession of the latter in the name of
King Victor Emanuel, and exhorts the people to
neglect no effort to ensure the efforts of the national
cause. There are also various other decrees ; one
for the provisional organization of the national
guard ; another depriving of ail r&Dk and emolu
ment those public officers who after 1848 decreed
the br-stinado, as well as tboee who by instigation
or informing caused it to be inflicted ; and the third
revoking an ordinance by which several professors
of the superior schools of Parma and Piacenza were
dismissed on accountcf thefrTe!!giottt and political
opinions.

of a note to the French Government on the serious

Paris, Sunday Evening, June 19.—There seems
uow to be very little doubt that Prussia is about to
make to France tho*e inadmissible proposals for
peace to which I alluded yesterday. All the corre
spondence from Germany points in that direction.
A Beilm ietter asserts that the Prussian General
liadowitz stated to the Frankfort Diet that the line
of the Mincio was necessary for the security of
Germany, and that the Prussian Government has
accordingly resolved to -make a proposition simul
taneously to France aud Austria for a settlement
upon ihe basis ol tbe Minofo being regarded as the
Austrian frontier. Fiance will certainly not listen
to such proposal, and then the great question is—
what will Prussia do ?— Express.
The Vienna correspondent of the Time.*, writing
on the 17ill, say’s : “Something of the highest im
portance is now goiug on between Austria and
Piussia, and it would not Eurprice me should the

Correspondence of the London News.
Paris, Monday Evening, Juue 20 — The Patrie
says under the head of “latest news:” “Several
journals have announced that Count Pourtales,
Prussian Minister to Paris, to proceed
successively to the headquarters of the Austrian
aud French armies. The Berlin journals contradict
the rumor. It appears, in fact, that Count de
Pourtales isexpecu and in Paris almost immediately.”
This ’.a a contradiction of a very important piece
of news, which, though the Patrie now forgets the
fact, was first circulated, and that conspicuously,
in its own columns. Are we also to understand
that the other rumors, according to which Count
de Recbberg and M. de Werther were to goto
Veiona from Vienna, were unfounded ? Very pos
sibly the telegraph may have countermanded these
journeys, the oniy object of which appears to have
been to druw lip a proposal to France wh oh would
ceitainly have been rejected. The French jour
nals are more puzzled than ever as to the rea
m-aningof tbe attitude of Piussia. It is stated
veiy positively in the German semi c fiicial papers
that the time has come for Prussia to inter.ere in
ihe affairs of I.aly, but as to the character which
that interference is likely to > ssnine the greatest
uncertainty prevails. The Patrie speculates at
some length upon the question. It begins by as
severating that the mobilisation of two thirds of the
Prussian army has not shaken its faith in tbe
“moderation and prudence” of the cabinet of Ber.
liu. “Uuntil proof to the contrary,” the Patrie will
continue to believe that the only object of the
measure is to tranquilise that pari oi Germany
which was apprehensive of a possible attack, and
to atsure to Piussia such a position its tho midst of
Kui ope iu arms, us to enable her to exercise a due
influence upou the definitive settlement cf the
Italian question. Nevertheless, the Patrie is struck
by the fact that the mobilisation has produced a
much more serious efl’act upon the public mind iu
Prussia than it has in France, and it cannot help
agreeing with those who see considerable danger
in.the course taken by the Prussian government.
Either, it observes, the propisitiens which Prus
sia is prepared to make,have been already accepted
at Vieuna, aud then seeing the known views of
Austria, and they must bo insufficient to secure
Italian independence, aud consequently unaccepta
ble by the allies—or there is no understanding be
tween the two governments, and then the question
arises, whether, in case of a refusal by Austria to
accept the Prussian proposition for peace, Prussia
is prepared to declare war against her. Unless
this is her intention, Prussia’s armed mediation
a nouuts to nothing, and she is in reality acting
purely and simply as a partisan of Austria. The
Patrie hopes that Piussia will not place herself in
such a false position, but it remarks that arma
ments usually follow diplomatic overtures instead
of preceding them. Winding up an article, in which
confidence and distrust are alternately uppermost,
it catches at an assurance of a Berlin journal, that
Pius sia’s desire is to rival France in rendering
Italy happy, and declares that France will not re
pudiate tuoh noble rivalry.
The Presae repeats, in answer to all the hints of
the Berlin papers that France will he expected to
redeem her promises of moderation, “that it is q*ite
evident that France cannot withdraw from the war
without having realised her programme—the en
franchisement of Ita'y as far aw the Adriatic.”
The Publicist, a Berlin journal, has the follow
ing :
Thos3 who, at Augsburg or elsewhere, stand forth
as the champions of the honor of Gsrmany, and
either from perversity or blindness persist.in re
garding the honor of that country as dependent ou
the subjugation of Italy, must not suppose that, it is
for the said honor, as they understand it, that Prus
sia mobilizes her army, and that her soldiers flock
to their standards. It is not for us to dictate to
Prussia the line of policy she should follow; but
u e may say that our faith remains unshaken in all
that we have hitherto maintained—namely, that
Prussia has not the least intention of guaranteeing
the Austrian possessions in Italy, and that iu that
respect she is in perfect accord with England and
Russia. The line of ibe Mincio, which the German
partizans of Austria now so strenuously defend,
cannot be a reason for Prussia to bring her army
into the field, nor can it be said that tins question
involves either the honor or ihe interests of Ger
many. Our honor and interests will not call us into
tho field unless tbe victorious Franco-Sardinian
army should pass the limits where Italy ceases, or
France should show her determination to hold It.aly
by right of conquest. It is for that Prussia mobi
lizes her army, and not to say to France, as we
constantly hear repeated, “As far as the Mincio you
may go, but no further.”
Tbe Prussian Gazette also publishes an article as
foil ows, explanatory of the late mobilization :
Since tbe foundation of the tbe public lav/ which
now exists in Europe, tue great Powers have con
sidered any international conflict as tbe object of
their common solicitude. Prussia would exclude
herself from her rank as a great Power if she were
to renounce her part in the settlement ot the affairs
of Italy. In the present phase of the Itaiiau ques
tion everyday may bring about, events which must
not find Prussia disarmed. If England and Russia
are actively arming, how much more necessary is it
for Prussia to do so l At the moment when the war
in Italy threatens to take a tutu very serious for
the principles which govern public European law
and for the maintenance ot the balance of power in
Europe, the Prussian Government could not abstain
from thinking that the moment had arrived to in
terfere for the re establishment of peace. The poli
cy of Piussia will not contradict, iu any of the
measures which may become necetairy hereafter,
the character it had borne since the com nencement
of the Italian complication. The direction which
Piussia follows in her internal public life forms a
sufficient guarantee for her external tendencies. —
And if Prussia has written on her Hag the principle
of tbe maintenance of the basis of public European
will have the opportunity of showing that
she does not intend to favor tendencies of oppres
sion or violence.
The government is fully aware of the perturba
tion which the calling out ol a Dart of the landwehr
must cause in many circles of priv*ite life. But
the military organization of Prussia does not give
it any choice, trom the moment Prussia was obliged
to intervene in the regulation of the Itaiiau ques
tion, with the influence which she is called on to
exercise, and which the position of the German na
tion in Europe requires. This measure, which the
Prussian government could not any longer adjourn
without grave responsibility, is purely defeusive.
What measure defends the independence of Eu
rope, which would be menaced if new arrangements
could be taken in Europe without the assent of the
great powers. Prussia does not intervene for
foreign interests, but for her own influence in the
counci's of Europe ; she intervenes for the German
fatherland, and tor tbe liberty and peace of Europe.
The display ot the defensive forces of Prussia ap
pears an efficacious means towards restoring peace,
aud Pruesia will not renounce that hope so long as
the least chance of a settlement remains.
peace to which Prussia tends must correspond with
the sacrifices which the government lias been com
pelled to ask of the country. It cannot arise from
the accidents of the day ; ir. mas tbriug with it the
conditions of durability. It. will only possess these
conditions by its correspondence with the real
proportions of the power of the different European
States, and the moral ba3es of the life of natious.
The Blue Book on Italy.—A large blue booki
containing the voluminous correspondence respect
ing the affairs of Italy, has been issued in England.
The documents reprinted in this volume number no
less than 535. It appears from the correspondence,
that in April instructions were given by the Esrl of
Malmesbury to the British repreaen atives at Paris
and St. Petersburg to make inquiries as to the al
leged secret tieaty between France and Russia.—
Count Walewaki, in reply, says “ that all allusions
to Eastern questions had been specially avoided in
the understanding with Russia, which related soleiy
to Italy.'’ He added, ‘‘His Majesty has authorized
me to repeat that nothing in the existing arrange
ments, r.or in the communication exchanged on the
subject with reference to the affa'rs of Italy, is of a
nature to affect, in the slightest degree, the interesc
of Great Britain; and that the new report of a
treaty of ahiance, offensive and defensive, existing
between Russia and France, is entirely without
foundation.” It also appears that at one period the
Emperor of the French entertained hopes of Eng
land co-operating in the wtr in Italy, notwithstand
ing, as Lord Malmesbury writes to Lord Cowley,
the abhorrence with which the cabinet of Lord
Derby contemplated that war, and its attachment
to the principle of non-intervention. Lord Malmes
bury says the Government believe that the straggle
will be productive of misery and ruin to Italy, and
nut conducive to the development of freedom, and
that the war will infallibly become a war ot extreme
political passions and opinions. They cannot but
dread that the events in Italy may react on other
nations, and that at an early date ali Europe will be
involved in the conflict. The Cabinet will watch
the various phases of the war with attention; and
if an opportunity should present itself for pleading
the cause of pee.ee and reconciliation, they will not
wait to be invited, but will at once tender them
selves as mediators. — Ball. American.

The Origin of ilie War*
The Londcu Times publishes in its columns, an
analysis of the correspondence between tLe sevet
ai ministers at tlie Courtft of Turin, Paris, au i
Vieuna, aud the Derby ministry, relative to the
i ut Ita’y. which has just btreii published in a
blue Book or tour Luudred pages, by authority of
the British Government. It begius with a ietter
from Lord Cowley to his government, under date
of Ist Jauuary, communicating the celebrated re
mark of Napoleon to the Austrian Min'stef, that he
regretted the relations between his master aud
himself had not of late been so friendly, &\c. These
papers rnay appear to be somewhat out of date;
but as we claim tv> be chroniclers of passing events,
and as they ere referred to by Lord Malmesbury as
embodying the view’s of the late government, it
would not be proper to pass them over entirely.—
We whall, theiefore, endeavor to give a sort of ab
stract of their contents.
The first letter of importance is that of Sir J.
Hudson, the English Ambassador at Turin. It is
dated January 3a. It begins with a regret that the
posture of affairs in Lombardy has not improved
within the preceding three weeks. Cases of insult
to Austrian officers and hatred ou the part es the
lower orders to the Austrians generally, had so in
creased, that a revolution, beginning at the bottom
of the body politic, had become not only imminent,
but almost unavoidable. The whole ot Lombardy,
he represents as in the same condition, and the
Legations were in no better temper, while Parma
ana Modena, though temporarily tranquil, were
prepared to follow the first insurrectionary move
ment made by Lombardy. The Ambassador re
grets that the Austrian decrees enforcing a con
scription iu Lombardy, aud establishing a circula
ting medium, bad enough in themselves, had been
so executed as to rouse the passions of the popuia
ton to the last degree of bitterness. He thinks it
unjust to charge the existing discontents upon Sar
dinia, the mete existence or whose free government
so near them, was sufficient to make people of
other parte ot Dofy msritnte comparisons which
could not tail to prove a source of constant irrita
tion. Besides, immigrants from the Stales iu ques
tion to Piedmont, “gentlemen of birth and educa
tion , had toimed at Turin a society which they call
ed the Central Committee for the liberation oi Ita
ly,” w’hich dispersed inflammatory appeals all over
the peninsula. The Sardinian law regulating thg
press had no power to reach this committee, or to
stop the circulation of these documents, or, at least,
if it had, uo attempt was made to apply it.
The National Italian party had become o strong,
that it had a ready absorbed the Carbonari more
than three years ago. The King of the two Sicilies,
col liding in the protection of Russia, had made no
attempt to ameliorate his go vein me ill, so that an
outbreak in Lombardy would instantaneously ex
tend throughout llal). Upon representing to the
Kiug ot Sardinia and Count Cavour, that the
had a respect for existing treaties, aud
would be loth to see the peace of Earope broken,
but that she would hold herself ready to act as she
thought best with regard to those who went to u T ar
without cause, they both declared that Sardiuia
would give uo cause of offeuce to her neighbors,
and would countenance neither intrigue nor revu
lutiou. Though these declarations W’ere satisfacto
ry, the ambassador expresses the belief that un
outbreak in Lombardy would be sure to carry
Piedmont along wffh it, however contrary to the
wishes of the King. Though the Kiug was uot
averse to war, yet it could not be supposed that,
unsupported, lie would willingly euoouuter the whole
power of Austria. Placed between two great
powers, both armed to the teeth, it was natural that
he should arm himself to the utmost of his ability.—
This armament was ruinous to Sardinia, and she
had protested against it at the Congress ot Paris,
iu 1856. The Congress had not listened, and revo
lution on her borders was the consequence. Sir J.
Hudson “expresses that if Sardiuia
would confine herselt to this coursed’ action,it
might produce good, by forcing the state of things
upou the attention of the other States iutoiested.
Tbe reply of Lord Malmesbury reveals tbe entire
ground work of the Derby policy, with regard to
the Italian question. It was neither more nor less
than distrust of Sardinia and France, or rather an
entire want ol faith in their protestations. Ho tells
Sir J. Hudson that if a war commenced, it will in
volve the whole Italian race, aud convulse Europe
from one end to the other. “Her Maj sty’s govern
ment,” lie says, “cannot shut theii eyes to tho pro
bability that Sardinia may be lured, by the prospect
ot aggrandizement, to take partin the approaching
conflict, or, at all events, to encourage the discon
tented spirits of Italy! look forward to achaugein
the distribution of power in that country, which
might lead to the question of an Itaiiau kiugdom,
or, at ail events, of an Italian confederation iu
which Sardinia would hold a prominent part.”—
Such a policy, he says, would be fatal to Sardinia,
making her play a second part to France aud Aus
tria in the war which might ensue, and come out of
it nearly ruined, as small States always do tfhere
they take part iu the quarrels of great powers. He
warns Sardinia uot to place any reliance on the
Lombards, who, he says, deceived them onoe be
fore, Ar.e.
Having delivered himself of this weighty docu
ment, the Foreign Secretary then sits down to issue
his instructions to Lord Cowley, the British Ambas
sador at Paris. He tells that tunctionary that tfre
words of the French Emperor, addressed to Baron
Hubner, have produced iuEugland an alarm which
could not be quieted by the pacific tone of the
Moniteur. The Ambassador is requested to urge
upon the Emperor the importance of keeping the
peace under any circumstances not involving the
vital interests of France, and to remind him of the
benefits resulting from the Anglo French alliance.
He can see no rational cause of ill-will between
France aud Austria, but rather thinks their presont
relations merely the result of a certain degree of
irritation on both sides, and therefore calling for the
mediation of some such friendly power as England
Lord Cowley is requested to impress upon the
Emperor, that while there is no interest of national
importance to either State at issue, there is a State,
and there are persons ready to embroil the two for
their own selfish purposes. The hazards of war
which, if it once commence, wiil be the longest and
bloodiest on record, are insisted on with great ve
hemence, and the danger that it would become a
war of opinion, iu wh ch France would bear the
heaviest burthen, and republican principles gain
the ascendancy. Instructions are given to euter
freely with the Emperor into the piesent state of
Italy, which he knows from a conversation he him
self (LordM.) held with him at Compiegue, is a
subject of great uneasiness to him.
“It may be—although 1 have no reason for be
lieving such is the case—that in a war with Austria,
having Sardinia for an ally, lie may play the impor
tant part, ot regenerator of Italy.” “If so, the trea
ties of 1815 must be effaced, for such a re-distribu
tion of power cannot be effected without the con
sent of the parties to those treaties.” “But these
compacts have ensured to Europe tbe longest peace
on record, and, in tbe opinion of her Majesty's go
vernment, still answer their original purpose in
maintaining the balance of power.” Though the
government is not indifferent to the sufferings of
the Italian people, they are convinced that they
cannot be alleviated by a war between France aud
Austria, which can only result in a change of mas
ters. Improvement in the condition of the Italian
people, can only be effected by a good understand
ing between France and Austria, and they are
recommended to unite in carrying out a system of
gradual reform. England would unite with them,
although, as a Protestant country, she could uol
take too prominent a part, lest she should excite
suspicion of sectarian motives. The same thing
might be eaid of Prussia and Russia if they ap
proved. If it should appear to the two great Ro
man Catholic Empires that any modification of tbe
territorial distribution of Central Italy would con
tribute to the peace and good government of the
country, without enfeebling the spiritual authority
of the Pope, her Majesty’s government, as well as
the other parties to the treaties of 1815, would be
ready to give it their best consideration.
The next document is a letter from Lord Malmes
bury to Lord Loftus, Ambassador at Vienna. It is
very much the same with the preceding, offers to
mediate, represents the danger of war, admits the
good government of tli6 Archduke Maximilian, and
nays that in the event of a war, public opinion in
England renders a strict neutrality absolutely ne
cessary. Public opinion in England is in favor of
Italy, but could not be roused into activity aguiust
Austria, unless sbe made berself the aggressor.—
Many causes of discontent exist in Italy, but war is
no remedy, since the issue would be a change of
masters, and no more. It is proposed to Austria to
make tbe firstadvancetoward a reoociliatiou, which,
from her position, she can afford to do, and propose
certain reforms in tbe Papal States, it being clear
that tbe occupation of those States by the troops of
France and Austria, has beooma intolerable, and
mnst shortly come to an end. England could only
luteilere with her advice in a case where so mucu
ecclesiastical policy is involved, and Prussia and
Russia stand in the same category. But there is no
such objection to the great Roman Catholic empires
of Franoe and Austria. It is earnestly recommended
to the great antagonist powers to come to an un
derstanding.
The co operation of Ruesiain the attempt to pre
serve peace is asked through Sir J. Crainplon, and
that of Prussia through Lord Bloomfield. The
Prussian Minister expressed the belief that any at
tempt to enlist either France or Austria in favor of
any course of action likely to affect tbe fundamental
institution of Rome would not be accepted. Lord
Cowley details an important conversation held with
Count Walewrki, in which tbe latter said that
France had no wish to go to war—that if others
were as prudent as tbe Emperor, there would
be no war—that as long as Austria kept within her
own boundaries, France would not interfere with
her—but if she marched a single legion into any
other territory than her owu, (except the Lega
tions,) he would not answer for the consequences.
France might not interfere, but Sardinia would,
and thus iuvolve the peace of Europe. That peace,
he said, was iu tbe bands of Austria.
In a letter to Mr. Russell, Ambassador at Rome,
Lord Malmesbury earnestly impressed upon the
governments of Italy tbe importance of uniting with
tbe two great RomaG Catholic powers in consider
ing the means of improving tbe administration of
tbe general States, &c.
On tbe 19th of January, Lord Cowley writes to
Lord Malmesbury, detailing a conversation he had
just had with the Emperor. The Emperor could
not understand the cause of the great nneasinees
that prevailed—said war was not more probable
then than it bad been three months before ; that be
did not seek it, and should nit provoke it, that bis
sympathies had always been with Italy, but that be
did not dispute Austria’s right to Lombardy ; that
if Sardinia provoked hostilities unjustly, and placed
berself in the wrong, Bhe could expect co support
from him; that Austria should not have placed her
troops so near the Ticino as to threaten Sardinia,
&c.
A conversation ol Lord Loftus with Count Boul
is detailed. Ho sail, tbe only way to prevent war
was to “tell Napoleon that Great Britain would not
look passively on if his Majesty abonld commence
hostilities,” and to warn Victor Emanuel how he
entered upon a war of aggression. “// Great
Britain is prepared to hold thin language no war
will arise.’ He would cot bear of any territorial
changes ia Central Italy, saying the proposal wa i
dangerous in tbe extreme. To this the English
Ambassador answered very bluntly, that Austria
• was playing the game of the revolutionary party,
and would tail into the trap they had laid.’
He said the disturbances htd subsided in Italy—
apprehended no danger from that quartet—would
agree to do nothing—said Austria could never come
to an understanding with France with regard to
Italy, becauee, apart from tbe fact that France was
not an Italian power, she sympathised with the
nationalities, while Austria was for tbe established
orderof things —that “it was a great mistake to
suppose Italy required change ’ —that “if Italy ia
left quiet, ii agitation is put down, and if the hopes
of certain parties who only seek their own aggran
dizement are annulled, there will be no war, no
commotion of Italy,’’ &e.
Russia and Prussia express a strong desire to
maintain the peace, if possible. We now come to
the secret mission of Lord Cowley to Vienna. He
writes to Lord Malmesbury from Vienna, under
date of the 9th March.
He finds the difficulty of hie mi.-aion mueli modi
fied by the fact that the Pope had nimself requested
the withdrawal of both the Austrian ami French
troops from his dominions. Count Buol has no ob
jection, and only recommends a gradual evacuation
and a removal at first of the French troops only to
Civita Vecchia, ‘-nd tbe Austrians to Ancona. He
thinks it a necessary precaution against insurrec
tion, and advantageous, for the additional reason
that it gives time to the Pope to organize a native
force. He is willing that tbe reforms in tbe Papal
States should either be ou tbe plan ot 1857, or on
that of 1831. Tbe subject oi security lor tbe better
relations of Sardinia and Austria having been in
troduced, Count Buol, said that the prerent crisis
was not produced by any action of Austria, but by
the ambitious deeigua of Sardinia. Austria has no
intention of attacking Sardinia ; but in order to
restore friendly relations, Sardinia must aiter her
external policy. As long as she remains completely

armed, tho peace must always continue in danger.
\ aiious propositions were made for revi.-inp the
treaties of 1817 between the Italian StAtes, end 1 ,r
forming a league among them to suppress inti real
revolutiois Al-o, for adopting a system wi .-h
would admit of the tax‘;e bGog voted by some s rt
of Assembly, aud pecuniary aid from ihe Roruau
Catholic States to the Pope, ao hs to admit of a re
duction of taxeo iu tbe Papal States. The ruing
ideas of Count Boul seamen to be, that Franco was
deter mined on a war with Austria, that Austria was
called upou to make concessions dictated by tho
animosity of Sardinia, that Austria ought to profit
by tho attitude which Germany has assumed to
wards France, aud that there was no real question
at issue between France and Austria to constitute
a casus belli. Lord Cowley has no doubt Austria
will accept any overtures from Frauoe consistent
with her honor, if Sardiuia willoisarra; but such
disarmament is au absolute prerequisite. Beiug
made, Austria will fo.low ber example.
The correspondence relative to the proposed
Congress is not published in the Times.. Lord
Cowley was of cpiuiou to the last, that the French
Emperor was desirous to remain at peace, although
he sympathized with the Italians, and wished to do
something for them within the treaties of 1815,
which he evinced no disposition to violate. On ihe
l Ith of April, Lord Loftua urged upon the Austrian
government tho propriety of disarming, and said
by refusing to do so, it would place itself iu the
wrong. The British government approved of ihe
proposal for a disarmament by the three powers,
previous to the meeting of Cougres3. Things were
in this state when Austria eentner arbitrary sum
mons to Sardinia, towards the end of April. Lord
Malmesbury then writes in a strain of vehement
iud ; gnation to Lord Loftus, tells him of the vehe
ment indignation existing against Austria; esunot
comprehend what she means by threatening Sar
dinia, after she had expressed her resolution to dis
arm, as Austria had desired; wishes t • know
whether she will yet, while it is tirno, stop the
march of her armies, and refer the matter to a Con
gress, at which delegates (uot representative-) from
the Italian States are to be admitted, and says the
conduct of Austria has excited the indignation of
the government and all classes in England. In ac
cordance with his instructions, Lord Lfftus made u
strong protest, but it came too late.
Imports and Exports of the United States—
Close of the Fiscal Year. —The fiscal or commercial
year of the United States, 1859, closed yesterday,
June 30. To this date the commerce and uaviga
tiou returns of the year will be made up at ihe
Treasury Department, but will not be officially
published uutil the meeting of the next Congress.
The New York Times, however, gives the subjoin
ed estimate of the years imports and exports, and
remarks:
The impression baa been made pretty goneral
that the import entries of the country are excessive
for the year —aud they certainly are large by com
parison with the returns for June 30,1858, tpe close
of a season of revulsion —but iu this rather one
sided view, the fact has been overlooked that the
export clearances have nearly or quite kept pace
with the consumption of foreign goods, notwith
standing the partial failure of the breadstufls move
ment. It is with a view to spread the probable
results on both sides the account together before
our readers, aud show that the specie export of the
year has already nearly or quite equalized the two,
that we have compiled the lollowiug estimates :

A correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune, wli3 was
an eye witness, furnishes a long account of M
Blondin’s daring feat at Niagara Falls. We ex
tract the concluding portion :
The morning broke bright and beautiful, a few
hazy clouds were in the sky, just, enough to hide the
too ardent rays of the sun, and there was a most re
freshing breeze, and altogether the day was such
that a better could not have been desired. At an
early hour the crowd began to collect. Every train
that arrived, from every direction, brought its pro
portion of eager spectators, and every sort of vehicle
that is indigenous to Yankee land, seemed to be
pressed into the service to convey their quota of
people who were to compose the immense (for our
provincial town) crowd of people who congregated
here to witness this moat daring of all foolhardy teats
ot modern times. At noon the crowd amounted to
more than 5,000 persons, exclusive of the usually
quiet inhabitants of this village, who are generally
not aroused from their customary quiesence by any
thing less exciting than the mortal peril oi some un
happy one who has been entrapped into the upper
rapids aud is about to be hurled over the Falls. The
noou trains brought a great augmentation of ihe al
ready large gathering, and from that time till 4 p. in.
constant, additions were made to the crowd. By 5
o’clock the impatience of the assembly bad reached
its bight, aud it was estimated that at this time the
crowd amounted to twelve thousand people, which,
as the population of this village falls somewhat short
of two thousand, is domg pretty well. They were
not by any means equally distributed, there being
about eight thousand on the Canada side, while but
four thousand or thereabouts were congregated on
tne American shore. This is partially accounted
for by the tact, that the American end of the rope
is anchored in a pleasure ground, the admittance
to which is charged at twenty-five cents, while our
Canadian neighbors have the advantage of free ad
mission to the inspection of the rope and all there
unto aupertaining. -The crowd, though large, was
a very quiet one, and no lighting or ill-feeling of
any sjrt marred the general good temper of the oc
casion. Avery large proportion of the persons
present were ladies, who were delighted with the
day’s entertainment.
At pricieely half-past four o'clock, M. Blondin
appeared in the pleasure garden, where the Ame
rican end of the rope was fastened, i here was a
shot tightrope elected herein, upon which the
daring Frenchmen mounted aud went through
many of his most graceful and pleasing teats, to the
great admiration of the spectators, lie was dressed
iu a drees similar to the one frequently worn by
acrobats and public gymnasts, etc.: pink tights,
buckskin moc asms, and spangled tunic of yellow
silk ; he was barel ended, without even the lillet of
white that is frequently worn.
At 15 minutes past 5 he stepped upon the large
rope, where he conversed a tew minutes wi h his
friends in the most cool and unconcerned manner,
having apparently no more dc-übt of bis success
fully accomplishing this undertaking than he had of
attempting it. As he stood for a minute on the
rope, before etepping out, he addressed tne crowd
as follows :
“Gentlemen, any one what pleaße to across, I
carry him on my back ”
No one seemed disposed to accept the kind offer,
and having joked a lew minutes longer, he at last
started on his perlioue journey. He walked rapid
ly and firmly, as if he had been on a bridge, until
he chose to stop to indulge in some gymnastic
evolutions for a few minutes. He balanced himself
on one leg, sat down, and laid down on the rope at
fall length, then, recovering himself, he wa'ked to
the middle ot the river, where he again stopped to
accomplish another feat not down in the bill. Here,
standing on the rope, with as much indifference as
if it was a solid latform, he deliberately lowered a
small line to the little steamboat, the “Maid of the
Mist,” that had steamed out to that point; to the
line was attached a bottle of wine by the captain
of the boat, and the bottle being drawn up by the
adventurer, be opened it, and, making a compre
hensive bow to both crowds on the sides of the
river, he drank to the health of all present-, then
throwing the battle into the river, be walked on,
stopping no more until he reached the Canada
shore. He was exactly nineteen minutes crossing
the r’ver, including stop-*. Oil bis arrival on the
Canada shore be was cheered vociferously. He
waited here about half an hour, when he prepared
to return. At 6.42 he stepped on the rope to com
mence his return passage. He rested but once,
lying down on the rope lor two minutes and accom
plishing the return trip in eight minutes.
As soon as he reached the shore, the cheers and
shouting were almos deafening. M. Blondm, hav
ing been permitted an instant for lefreshment, was
seized by the enthusiastic crowd and placed on
their shoulders aud born about in triumph. He
was then placed in a carriage and escorted through
all’he principal streets ot the village, the crowd
thronging him on all sides, aud cheering iu the wil
det manner. He did not appear very much ex
hausted, and manifested no more fear or nervous
ness thau any ungymnastic novice would at eating
his breakfast.
Thus was successfully accomplished one of the
most daring and useless feats that even this fast age
has ever witnessed.
A contribution, amounting to over S4OO was
taken up on the CaoadL n side lor the successful
performer, aud his receipts from other sources will
no douot pay him handsomely for his venture. The
rope will remain suspended, and he will walk over
two or three times a week during the pleasure sea
son. Hie next trip across is announced for the 4th
of July.
The rope was made in New York to o der, and
is over 1,100 feet in length. As something like ODe
hundred feet covers the shore, we may safely say
that the partc< vering the gorge is at least 1,000.
This rope is a trifle more than two inches in diame
ter, and was drawn with the blocks end windlass as
tight as it could be without risk of parting. The
depression was perhaps sixty feet Oelow a true
line, and as the Canadian bank is eorne twenty
feet or more higher th n the American, the greatest
depression was nearer the latter than the former.
This rope was stayed from side sway by small guys
of half inch rope, of which 2,7<HJ feet were used.
They were fastened to the mam rope in pairs, about
20 feet i part, ran diagonally to the shore on either
bide, where they were made fast to trees. Only
two guys rau down to keep the rope from an up
ward movement. The rope and guys cost $650,
and purchased chiefly by subscriptions made at the
Falls.
A Serious Accident.— We regret to state that
on Monday afternoon last, when the passenger train
was prep&iiug to leave Concord with the returning
passengers for Charlotte, a serious accident occur
red t > Air. Joseph Biggert, of this city, which caused
the loss of bis left leg. We give the particulars as
obtained from a pa*h9nger on the train : Joseph
Biggert, aged about 20 years, was standing on the
platform, in front of the rear car, the train going for
ward slowly, but after passing the switch, the mo
tion was reversed so as to attach another car, when
it is supposed Biggert fell w ith bis left leg across
the rail. The first two wheels ot the car passed
over the leg, varying from near the knee joint, di
agonally, to the ankle, crushing the bones. He was
immediately taken back to the depot, where surgi
cal aid was procured, and the leg was amputated
above the knee, by Drs. Miller and B. Gibbon, of
this city, perlorwed the unpleasant duty in a
very skillful and satisfactory manner,— 'Charlotte

The Chicago paper.* bring u • i*im particu’ars of
the terrible accident on the M edgm 8 utherti
j lUiir.-’nd, Tuesday night, hywlic.h flirty-stven
i were killed and fifty wounded. Tne disaster was
i occasioned by the washing of a culvert, owing to
j the great fall of rain tu tho vicinity. The tram ran
! into it about midnight. A correspondent of the
New York iribune says :
When the train oatno around ft flight curve to
this raviue, the embankment, bad already waste i
away, and the whole train leaned into the chasm
left behind, which was about *5 feet deep, and 60
or 80 teet wide. The culvert, evidently choked up,
converting the ombunkmeut ini ’ a dam, the water
rapidly accumulating, as can bo seen by the marks
o! its rise, nearly ns h J gh as the railroad truck, and
its groat weight at la->t tore out Lbo obstruction, aud
instead ot the iron rai.s, there was a yawning cleft
or with a wild and angry torrent dashing
through it toward the river. The locomotive bu
ried itself in the loose sand of the bank, and the
baggage Oar, which was toru into kindling-wood,
piled its fragments upon i. Over this was the
second-class car, the only thing visible, oo deeply
were the others imbedded. The three passenger
cars which followed them, tell into t he torrent below
the railroad truck. The sleeping car, which was
the last one of the train, was but little injured, aud
no one in it killed.
Statement of J. J. 11. Bice, Passenger.— He
was iu the sleeping car at the tune of the accident,
whioh occurred about midnight. The first, he knew
of anything beirg the matter, was when the water
was running over the car. The lights were out.,
aud nothing but an occasional tiacli oi lightning was
there to see by. He jumped from the cars, but
instead of landing on terra firma , be leaped into
the torrent, nut succeeded iu making his way to a
clump of bushes and got up the bank, afterwards.
He heard a great deal ot screaming v ht J e in the
current, aud after landing, the cries ot distieie weie
awful. Tuere being no lights, everything was con
tusion, aud survivors were lushing wildly about the
banks of the raviue iu vain search of their missiug
friends. He says no one was killed iu the sleeping
car, but one old gentleman jumped out and was
drowned in the current.
One woman, who was on the train with her hus
band and five children, ran wi dly about all night,
seeking her family, but without success, until morn
ing, when she found them all dead Shu then went
to a farm house, a few yards oil, where, after set
ting some minutes the wretched wde and mother
expired.
Mr. Bice says that a gentleman, with his wife and
two children, were ou the train on a pleasure trip to
the East. But in the accident the parties became
separated. ‘lbe husband* found one of hisjourg
ones dtad in the morning; u.xt foued b. wile
dead, but with her aimac:ueely embracing tbo
other child, who was saved.
The United States Express had over thirty thous
and dollars iu their safe, which broke to pieces by
the collision, but the agent here has found moot ot it
iu the ruiua.
One of the throng u mail bags was found near the
river, two hundred yards from the break. Whether
others are lost, cannot be told.
The raviue is about twenty five feet deep and
seventy five to one hundred feet wide. The night
was very dark, and there was a curve iu the road
just before the embankment was reached.
Statement of Thomas Pardee.—At the time of
his leaving by the train, 3t bodice had been taken
out,and be understood that two more culverts bad
been carried away Kiel of the one now referred to,
and by the same ram, uitei the train ou which lie
came had pained over them, lie calculated the
chasm to be 20 feet d*ep and 50 teet across. The
masonry was swept ll by ili- utrong current. Ho
judged tr>iu the mark m.rg the embankment that
the water had risen twelve leu ; but when he lelt,
it was almost dry again.
The tank of the engine, the smoko-staik aud a
few splinters, were all that wan dacernibieof the
wreck of the train. A large ft roe 1 1 men were en
gaged in picking up the bodies, aud many were ex
cavating the debris, but cousiUciable had been car
ried oil by the torrent.
Bomo nine of the wound ad passengers had been
carried to Mishwauka,and woie Uid out on pallets,
arranged in a large room iu the hotel. The dead
bodies were picked up and lai t out in tne cars,
with sheets over their faces. Thv* men bad worked
two hours to get cue woman out ot the water, She
was,ef course, dead wheu recovered. The scene
ou the banks of the river, Mr. Pardee says, wad
truly awful, as one may well suppose ; bul he says
the amount of human misery among the w ounded
was terrible to behold. In ihe Mishwauka Hotel he
aw a fine little boy about nine years old, with his
left leg b oken, aud u'moet open through the thigh,
while the right leg is cut completely off. The ’ad
was failing fast, aud it is almost impossible for him
to recover.
He was one of a family of five children, with the
mot her, who was going to meet the lather and the
husband of this family. The mother was killed, a
daughter is mis dug, and another boy is wounded,
but not seriously. 110 ia in the same room with his
wretched brother, while be saw another of the young
ones, six years old, dead, having had his face com
pletely cut off. The bodies of the lomales were not
much mutilated.
Statement of Mr. Bonte. —The engine, tender
and the other cars, with the exception of the sleep
ing car, which was the last one of the train, were
literally piled one upon another, and were perfect
wrecks, being literally shivered to atoms. The
front end ot the sleeping car ran half way through
the car f<i ward of it, sweeping everything away.
Mr. Bonte was asleep in the sleeping car when
th* accident occurred, but jumped up before the
car had stopped. The water immediately com
menced niching into the car. He says that many
of the passengers uttered frightful screams. None
of them seemed to know where they were. Ho
looked out of the window, but the night was so
dark as to render outside objects invisible. Ah the
water begau to till the car, some of the passengers
rushed through the doors and got upon the top. He
waded ashore, finished dreeeing himself, and re
turned to the car and assisted iu conveying the
womeu and children from the cur to tne shore. Mr.
B. says a lady came into the sleeping car at some
way station but a short lime previous to the occur
rence, and complained at being compelled to ride
in that particular car. lie remarked to her he had
once owed his life to a similar circumstance, and
advised her to be ‘satisfied w ith her ill luck. She
remained, and escaped uninjured.
Mr. Bonte says that the car next behind the ten
der was loaded with iaLoiers who were employed
iu repairing the road, aud that most, if not all of
them, were killed. The engineer aud firemen, and
every person employed o the train, weie killed,
with the exception of Coucluctor Osgood, who was
slightly injured. Some of the bodies were . washed
into the river, (a distance of ha fa mile,) aud have
not yet been recovered.
A large number of corpses remained umecogoiz
ed. Same of them weie so mangled aud mutilated
that they probably never can fie recognized. A
coroner’s inquest was held upon 37 of the recovered
bodies, and a verdict returned that no blame was
attached to any officer of the road.
Mr. Hartwell, of Toledo, who is among the killed,
was formerly a resident of Cleveland, and a mem
ber of the firm of Dewitt A. Hartwell, manufactu
rers of agricultural implements.
A Scene ar the Depot in Chicago.—Oua
gentleman of this city had sent hie wife, three chil
dren aud sieter, eastward on the fatal night, lie
was an early iuqui.er. The obliging operator dis
patched a message of iuquiry, and he stood by the
i ustrumeutH a picture of woe waiting an antiwar.
Iu reply to a question, be said that ho put his fami
ly in the forward car. He was told to expect the
worst, because the destruction of life in that car
was tearful. He trembled like an aspen leaf, and
the sweat of agony stood like raiu dronson his brow.
In reply to auotber question, he said that his wife
was going only as far as Kalamazoo. He was told
that Kalamazoo was ou the Michigan Ceutral, aud
that his precious ones couid not be involved in this
catastrophe at all. The relief came too sudden.—
The revulsion followed like a waterfall, and the
happy aud thankful man thiew himself into a chair
and wept like a child! A rough bearded customer
who related the incident to us, sajs that he Uso
cried as he witnessed tho thrilling scene.

the fact. We state this upon the best authority.—
Even when this sum is raised, the work—as we
understand it—is uot halt accomplished, for not
only a very great outlay for immediate repairs will
at once become necessary, to save the property
from utter decay and ruin, but the Association will
have to continue their labor in collection for its
complete restoration, which must necessarily take
large sums of money. Mt. Vernon, with nothing to
take care of it, would be like the elephant drawn in
a raffle—a puzzle to know what in the world to do
with it. We entertain not tho slightest doubt that,
with such an efficient organization aa Miss Cuo
ninghaui has created, all the requirements of the
Mt. Vernon Association, will be met by a generous,
prompt, and patriotic public.
While looking over ihe names of the lady officers,
as Vice Regent?, wo were not a little surprised to
find cur neighbor State, Maryland, unrepresented.
Surely the fair daughters of Baltimore ought not to
ne tho last iu the fiel<Cof this meritorious enterprise,
in which South Carolina so nobly pioneered the
way. Texas, too, the only one remaining besides,
should certainly have a hand iu tbidSuhemfe, so
aonorable in its character, and so ennobling to
Woman's efforts. May we hope soon to hear of
both ot these States entering the liais for their part
in the Mt. Vernon prize.— Phil. Press.
The American Horses in England — Neither
Mr. Ten Broeck nor Harlan are backward in bring
ing the ilmales of their stabiee forward where there
seems any chance of throwing in for a good thing.
All their cracks have enough work cut out fur
them to do, in the course of the next three mouths,
to keep them making any too great a super
fluity of fie b. It is true, forfeit bps been paid for
Prioress in the AtcoL Stakes ; but Lat is only to
have her in better order ler the Itoyal Hunt Cap,
u trophy more bonoiably worth contending for. In
the race for that she will carry 113 pounds, whilst
Sunbeam, two years her junior, carries 115 pounds.
It is true, Sunbeam won the Oaks lost year, but
she has since been defeated by some wretched ani
mals Prioress may, therefore, be considered well
in. Woodburn has been entered for an off chanco
in the same prize. This colt is also named 10 run
tor the St. James Palace Stakes at Ascot.
After Ascot wo shall probably next hear of
Prioress at Liverpool, where she ia to go for tb
Cup, a handicap race of great importance, with a
very valuable stake attached. In that she has to
give Pole star, whom she lately beat fora Queen's
Plate, eight pounds allowance of weight. This
will, apparently, bring them to pretty even terrr-n.
At Goodwood both American stables come out in
force. Starke, Cincinnati and Woodbnrn, are a 1
entered for the Goodwood Stakes, and Woodburn,
Dei Chiles , Cincinnati and Prioress , for the much
coveted -Cup.” In the contest for this celebrated
piece of plate our American champions will be pit
ted against such gaiiant competitor? as Fisherman,
Saunter er , Js.amington Lifeboat , Toxophite ,
Gamester, Zuyder Zee, Headman, The Promised
Land, Norik Lincoln and Marionette. Conquest
over any one of these would be something to brag
about. Noons dare call them platers. The only
other engagements mentioned in the London Ra
cing Calendar are those of Prioress and Starke for
the Bentinck Plate, on the last day of Goodwood
Races. They will there meet Fisherman, Sana
terer, Borderer and North Lincoln.
Thf. Breach of Promise Case—A New True
Granted. —The defendant’s motion for anew trial
in the case ot Effie C. Carztang vs. Henry Shaw,
in which a Verdict of SIOO,OOO damages was given
to the plaintiff, & short time since, was argued yes
terday iu the Court of Common Pleas, by Mr. Sfiep
ley lor the defendant and Mr. Wright for the plain
tiff. After Mr. W. Lad concluded his argument.
Judge Bates rose to reply, waen the Court stopped
him, and said that if the plaintiff's case were per
fectly free from all exceptions, the amount of the
verdict would not under the circumstances of the
case, be a sufficient reason to induce the Court to
set it aside.
But the Court did not regard the plaintiff’s case
in that light, and it was only necessary to say that
the Court could not allow any verdict to stand
where the Court had excluded testimony, ana the
parties had got it before the Jury, or got it where
they were likely to see it, by publishing it iu the
newspapers, as was done in this case.
The motion was therefore sustained, aud anew
trial was granted. j
The case cannot, of couree, come up for trial be
fore the next term of the Court. coua- f
