Tho Ijfew York papers bring us extracts from their Kuropcaii exchanges containing details of the recent engagement between the allies and the Austrians at aud arouud Montebello, This intel ligence, though fuller, is not at variance as to ih< result with thnt which has preceded it by tele graph.

The allies won the day after a desperate struggle of six hours, taking an Austrian Colonel and *2OO Croats, prisoners. At thu first onset the French centre was so hotly besot with shells and bullets from thu Austrians that it was obliged to fallback upon tho right of their lines ; but meeting with support from the command of (len.

Much credit for the success is given to the effect of iht now French gum, carrying tlfeir bul lets with deadly precision more than two English miles, llut we presume the gnat disparity of numbers was compensated, chiefly, by the impe tuosity of the French. For tho resistless fury of their chauges they have ever beau distinguished ; no soldiers, but the English, were able to with stand them in the war* of tho first Xapoloon.- The allies pushed their success (0 Casteggio about a mile distant from Montebello, whither the Aus trians retreated in some disorder.

Recent investigations in theuflairt of the Post Office lead to the belief that that department of the government loses one million of dollars a year by the use of counterfeit and reWashed stamps. — It is believed that there are two clause* oi persons engaged in this nefarious business—one which manufacture#, either from engraved or photo graphed plates, and sell# new postage stamps; and another that gathers th'*e which have been usod from wa*te paper toilet lion#, and by means of an acid wash** off the Pot Office stamp that wa# put on them when they paused through the, office. Under the present pontsl system there is ne mesas of guarding against the first named evil, lor the saute manufacture of the portage stamp i* to simple that one man can make bis plate and produce thousand# of sheets without the aid of a single person. To dispose of them he has only to com© into collusion with some of the po*tms>- ters or their clerks, of which there are more than fifty thousand in all throughout tho country, and the ronatnnt losses of money in pacing through ibe mails duos not give a high standard of honesty among them. All ol them are on trust ed with the sale of stamps, and no check can be kept upon theui, for there is no possibility oi as certaining how many stamp* are in the band* of the people. When ietteis are posted the clerks have no time to scrutinise tb stamp oil them, and they are rapidly defaced with a black stamp. A * the letters with the defaced ttainp* on them {•as* again into the baud* of the people, tho dc pnrtrucnt can form no positive idea to wbat ex tent the frauduteut .-tamp* are used. The same difficulty <>t detection attends the ruwashod stamps, but they are supposed to lie used to a leas extent than the counterfeits, on ac count of the greater facilities for selling the lat ter. Efforts have been made, both iu this country nod in England, where the sumo difficulty is en countered. to obtain au indelible ink for the pur pose of defacing the used stamps, but without Hiiccesa, and the inefficiency of our police system for preventing the operation* of counterfeiters, leaves the manufacturer of surreptitious postugo Htainps to labor with impunity. It is the opinion of person* weH versed in the affair* of the Post Office Department here, that these frauds have an intimate connection with the deficiency in its revenues, and could (he Post master General de\ ise some means to stop them the Department wonld soon become a sc If-sus taining one. The only possible manner of doing it seem# to be to abolish entirely the of post age stamps, and resort te> prepayment by tha use ( i tnn]K*d cnvoJojto*. which should be guarded iu theii manufacture by water marks in the pa per, and every other contrivance and improve ment in the style and coiietruction of envelope* which the Postmaster General can possibly de vise, without incfUMiftg too much the cost of (he envelopes to the public.
