Mr. Thackeary has declined a most tempting
offer from the proprietor of the Illustrated Netos
of £I,OOO for a story to run over a few numbers
of the paper. This sum is the same amount
which has been offered by the proprietor of the
New York Ledger to Mr. Dickens, for a brief
tale, and accepted by him.
Leigii Hunt wrote the following lines upon
the following incident: lie brought some very
agreeable intelligence, suddenly and unexpect
edly, to Mrs. Carlyle, who rewarded him with a
kiss:
Jenny kissed me when we met,
Jumping from the chair she sat in;
Time, you thief you love to put
Sweets into your book, put that in ;
Say I’m ugly—say I’m sad—
Say that fame and wealth have missed me,
Say I'm growing old—but add
Jenny kissed me.”
Judge Campbell. —The charge of Judge C.
to the Grand Jury of the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Alabama, was
very strong against the re-opening of the slave
trade.
A Grand Jury in Montgomery, Ala., under
the charge of Judge Campbell, has found sever
al true bills against prominent citizens for a vio
lation of the laws prohibiting the slave trade.
Who is Judge Campbell? He is a native of
Wilkes county, Georgia; a man of commanding
talents—a profound jurist, and of irreproachable
integrity. The only objection ever whispered
against his appointment to the responsible na
tional office he now holds, was his ultra zeal as
a southern politician. This objection was easi
ly answered by his known and acknowledged
patriotism, and his integrity as a man.— Const.
Governor Saxe. —As announced yesterday,
John G. Saxo received the nomination for Gov
ernor of the State of Vermont at the Democrat
ic Convention held on the 16th inst. Saxo is
universally known throughout the Union as a
gentleman of marked ability, an able writer, and
as one of our first and most brilliant poets.
Humboldt foretold the date ofliis own death.
He distinctly states in a letter which is preserv

the middle of 1859.
Gov. Brown. —We are reliably informed that
Gov. Brown has resolved not to take the stump
in the approaching canvass. We regard the
decision as most becoming to himself and just to
the dignity of the office he holds. This thing of
the Governor’s abandoning his official duties and
descending to a wrangle on the hustings for a
re-election, is of modern origin, and wo com
mend Gov. Brown for setting his face against so
pernicious a practice. Should the Opjiosition
run a candidate against him, we have no doubt
he will square his own conduct accordingly.

Liberality. —McCormick, the inventor of the
reaping machine, has presented SIOO,OOO for the
endowment of four professorships in a theologi
cal seminary at Chicago, 111. The fact shows
not only the liberality of the donor, but it proves
how largely he must have been rewarded for
his invention. Not more, however, it is said,
than its merits can fairly claim.
Morphy vr Thompson. —Mr. Morphy finished
his match with Mr. Thompson at the Morphy
Club rooms, in which he gave the immense odds
of the knight and which has been for some time
pending, on Friday afternoon. The score stood,
Morphy 5, Thompson 3, drawn 1. Consideriug
the odds given, this is one of the young cham
pion's greatest feats. If Mr. Thompson could
not win under these circumstances, wo know of
no New York player who would succeed; and
we question whether any one in America could
do better. The final game of the match was
witnessed by a large number of spectators.
The Prentice Hand Not to be Tried. —The
editor of the Louisville Journal feels so comfor
tably situated that he will not be tempted to en

in Congress would be by no means agreeable to
me; and lam very sure I should not at all suit
the place. Ido not want it—l could not accept it
without a sacrifice of feeling.”

Signora Frezzolini arrived a few days ago
in the Fulton, after an absence of a little over a
year. Some of the French critics, following iu
the track of Janin, who groaned so sadly about
Rachel throwing away her talents among the
barbarians of the new world, declared that Frez
zolini was never appreciated here, and that she
would gladly go back to la belle France. The re
turn of Frezzolini to this country proves that she
took a different view of the matter from that pre
sented by the French critics.
Comonfort, ex-President of Mexico, is now in

General Shields, of Minnesota, is very proud
ofhis home, and this is why—wo quote his own
words: “ I made my pre-emption, as you all
know, on the Faribault prairie. 1 paid for it with
my own warrant —the warrant which I received
for my services in Mexico—the only bounty
which I ever received from the Government of
the United States for those services, and I will
venture to say that 1 am the first General of the
United States Army who ever made his own pre
emption with his own warrant. Now, this, I
think, is a home to be proud of—a home which
I hold to be sacred, because I purchased it with
my blood.”
“Perley” writes from Washington to the
Boston Journal, a bit of gossip touching the re
cent marriage of Mrs. Eaton, wife of the Secre
tary of War under General Jackson's Adminis
tration :
“Mrs. Eaton, since the decease of her husband,
has resided in the First Ward here, visiting in a
demi-monde, and pointed at when she went abroad
as the lady that broke up Jackson’s Cabinet, in
spite of all he could do. She is an active little
lady, some sixty years of age, and last Sunday
she was married the third time to an Italian
dancing-master and musician, who is about twen
ty-two, thereby causing much scandal. “/ told
you so /” say all the dames who refused to visit
her in 1829.”

DOMESTIC SUMMARY.
The Secretary of War has refused to permit
any more officers on leave to depart for Europe.
It is feared they might join some of the .armies,
and in the event of being taken prisoners would
lead to serious complications, which our gov
ernment desires to avoid.
The London Gazette, of May 31, announces the
appointment of Henry Walter Ovenden, hither
to British Consul at Maranham, in Brazil, to the
British Consulate at Baltimore, vacant by the
death of Mr. Morton Dyer.
A dispatch from Washington states that in
consequence of the failure of Congress to author
ise a continuance, the Postmaster General has
notified the Charleston and Havana Steamship
Company that their mail contract expires on the
30th of June, and will not be renewed unless
they choose to accept the postages as in full for
services. The postage is, however, so incon
siderable that it cannot be accepted, and the line
will, therefore, cease running.
Bread Riots in Virginia. —The flour panic
among the fanners in this section bids fair to
carry many persons into all sorts of wild extrav
agances. We learn from a gentleman, just ar
rived from Washington county, of a reckless
thing which took place there on Saturday, and
which goes to show the state of feeling existing
in that neck of woods. A speculator by the
name of Patterson has a large lot of flour at
Post’s Mill, which he is holding for an advance,
in view of the damaging frosts. On Saturday
some dozen or more farmers living in the vicinity
repaired to the mill, broke down the door, and
each took a barrel of flour, and left cightjdollars
in the mill for every barrel thus removed —all
considering that a fair price for an article which
they could not buy with the consent of the
owner.— Wheeling Intelligencer, June 16.
New Orleans. —The emigration of the free
colored people goes on, on a larger scale than
ever. The schooner Virginia Antoinette loft
recently for Teronlonta, a small port in the
State of Vera Cruz, Mexico, with forty-three
emigrants, all kindred. These people were
born and raised in the Attakapas country, where
they are held in high estimation, not only by
their brethren of color, but also by the white
population. Mr. Pintade, the head of this
numerous family, until lately was engaged in
commercial pursuits, in which ho was very
successful. In appearance, these people look
more like sons of New England than persons of
mixed blood, and their daughters can advan
tageously bear comparison with our renowned
creole beauties.
On the 20th instant, three hundred persons
of color take their departure for Ilayti, carrying
with them a large amount of property. Most o‘
them are from the rural parishes, where they
possessed land and slaves.
Journal of Commerce.
Washington, June 17. —The ordering of a
more efficient naval force to the African coast
was not in consequence of any late complaint by
the British government. It was long ago con
templated, but until recently there was no ves
sels which could be used for that purpose. So
far as our government is aware, no new orders
have been issued since 1812 by the British, in,
connection with the treaty stipulating for the
suppression of the slave trade on the coast of
Africa.
The Secretary of War has returned from Vir
ginia, and is seriously ill. His health has been
declining for several months, and unless an im
provement soon takes plaee, his retirement from
the Cabinet will become necessary. In that
event it is expected that Charles J. Faulkner,
of Virginia, will be appointed to the vacancy.
Baltimore American.
For the Seat of War. —Leave of absence
has been granted by the War Department to Col.
S. Thayer and Col. P. St. George Cooke, of the
United States Army. It is the intention of these
officers to join a number of their comrades who
are about to visit the seat of war in Europe.
The government of Sardinia has declined the
offer of the services of surgeons from the United

French Agents in this Country.—A Wash
ington dispatch states that it is known that the
French Government have secret agents in this
country, now employed purchasing and con
tracting for ships and munitions of war, of va
rious kinds. Some heavy contracts have already
been made with leading establishments engaged
in the manufacture of such material, to bo deliv
ered at the earliest practical moment.
Warlike Preparations in the British Col
onies.—A dispatch lias* been received at St.
John's, N. F., countermanding the ordering to
England of the Lieutenant Governor of the
Island, Col Law, who is commander of the forces,
his services being necessary on the island. The
troops on the station are to be considerably aug
mented, and the forts fortified with heavier met
al. England, while professing her neutrality,
seems to be getting ready at all points for war,
as if she had no faith in the moderation of the
French Emperor.
Colored Children in the Public Schools. —
The question of the right of colored children to
be admitted to the public schools, came up in
the Second Ward, some two weeks since, upon
application of John W. Hunter, and a few other
colored citizens of the District, to be allowed to
send their children, some eight or ten in number
to school No. 34, the number being too small
to justify the erection of a separate school for
their use. On Monday evening the matter was
finally acted on. Two reports w r ere submitted
from a committee to whom the question had been
referred —one a majority report, against, and the
other in favor of the application. After a long
and a somewhat stormy debate, in which Dr. J.
McCuno Smith and others participated, by per
mission of the Board, the majority report was
adopted by a vote of eight to two. The names
of the minority committee were Messrs. Edward
D. Pepper, who drew the report, and John Ship
ton.—N. Y. Times.
The New House of Representatives —The
new Hall of Representatives is all alive to-day
with workmen, some engaged in taking up floor
ing, and laying masonry and piping, for increased
heating facilities, and some making preparations
for the substitution of sofas, and arm chairs, and
desks, heretofore used by the members. It will
be remembered that the House of Representa
tives, last session, voted to do away with the
single chairs and desks, and adopt the English
parliamentary style of advancing to a table in
the centre of the room whenever a member may
need pen and ink facilities —a change which, it
is supposed, will advance business, since the
members will be obliged to sit bolt upright, and
attend to the work of the hour, instead of writing
letters and f anking documents, as heretofore. The
arm chairs and desks have not been sold, but
have. been cosily piled away iu the basement, so
that in case the change proves unpalatable to
the members, there is nothing more to be done
than order a restitution.

Georgia Penitentiary. —There are at pre
sent, we learn, in this institution, two hundred
and thirteen convicts —forty of them having been
committed to it within the present year. This
is a larger number than has ever been in it at
one time before. The increase of crime, itwould
seem, has inspired the several courts with a de
termination to try the certainty of punishment,
rather than clemency, to bring about a sound
state of morals.

Escape of Fourteen Onvicto from the
State Prison. —At an early hour, yesterday
morning, great excitement tvas caused in our
city by the startling news that an escape had
been made from the State prison, and no less
than fourteen of the most desperate of all the
six hundred villains, there congregated, had
turned themselves loose upon the community.
Californui Alta, 23 rd tilt.
Kansas. —Troublesome Kansas has just en
acted another scene in its eventful history. The
elections have been held for delegates to the
Constitutional Convention, called in violation of
the terms of the English bill. The Black Re
publicans have been successful in electing a ma
jority" of three, but we suspect it is larger. It is
not a matter of any consequence, however, which
party carried the Convention, for the pro-slavery
organization had been utterly abandoned, and
upon its ruins had been raised a Democratic
Free State party to contend with the Republi
cans. This Democratic party acknowledges
Douglas for its leader, and differs from the Re
publican only in name and in personal prefer
ence. Perhaps, if the Democracy had suc
ceeded, they would have gone through with
some mock ceremonies of observance of the
English bill, whereas the Republicans will treat
it with contempt—and this is about the only dif
ference between tbem.— Columbus Enquirer.
From the Gulf of Mexico. —The Navy De
partment has received dispatches, dated Tampico,
21st ult., from Capt. Turner, commanding the
United States ship Saratoga. Rumors reached
Vera Cruz that Gen. Woll, with a detachment
of Reactionists, was about to make a descent
upon the city ofTampico, and Minister McLane
thought a vessel-of-war necessary to protect
American interests in that quarter, especially as
the General commanding at Tampico had direct
ed the American flag to be hauled down from the
American Consulate, insisting that all consular
exequaturs have been, by public decree, with
drawn by the Reactionary Government. The
Saratoga sailed to Tampico accordingly; but as
General Woll, instead of marching upon Tampi
co, proceeded to support General Mesia in a con
templated attack upon General Degollado, and
as no apprehensions of immediate danger to
American interests at Tampico were felt, the
Saratoga was to leave for Vera Cruz on the
Ist inst.
Notwithstanding Senator Sam Houston’s avow
ed determination to retire from the public ser
vice, he has at last consented to accept tho
nomination for Governor of Texas, tendered to
him by the “ Independent” Convention, as will
be seen from the following letter published in
tho Austin (Texas) Intelligencer:
Independence, June 3, 1859.
Geo. IF. Paschal, Esq. — Dear Sir: On yester
day I yielded my own inclinations to the wishes
of my friends, and concluded, if elected, to serve
the people as the Executive of the State. The
Constitution and the Union embrace the prin
ciples by which I will be governed if elected.—
They comprehend all the old Jackson National
Democracy I ever professed, or officially prac
ticed. “ Sam Houston.
Tho note from Gen. Houston to Judge Pas
chal, says he will serve, if elected. But it seems
to bo pretty well understood, and we believe
even by many of his supporters, that he will not
even take the oath of office as Governor of Texas,
if elected.
Fine Rains. —During the last few days this
section has been visited with delightful and re
freshing seasons, which have had a fine effect
on the crops and the vegetable kingdom in gen
eral. Should rains continue for a few weeks
longer, we can calculate with some degree of
certainty on fine corn crops. Cotton also looks
well.— Col, (Ga.) Times, June 21.
National Convention of Spiritualists.—
There will be held a National Spiritualists’ Con
vention at Plymouth, Mass., on the sth, Gth, and
7th days of August next. Dr. H. F. Gardner, of
Boston, will preside.
FOREIGN SUMMARY.
The Royal Mail steamship Europa, from Liver
pool at 10.30 A. M. of Saturday, the 4th inst.,
lias arrived.
Sanguinary encounters had taken place at Pal
estro.
The Sardinian government had issued the fol
lowing official bulletins:
Turin, May 31.—A fresh victory was gained
by our troops at 7 o’clock this morning. Twen
ty-five thousand Austrians endeavored to re
take Palestro. The King, commanding the
fourth division in person, and General Cialdini,
at the head of the third regiment of Zouaves,
resisted the attack for a considerable time, and
then, after having successfully assumed the of
fensive, pursued the enemy, taking one thousand
prisoners and capturing eight cannon, five of
which were takeu by the Zouaves. Four hun
dred Austrians were drowned in a canal, during
the combat at Palestro. Another fight took
place at Conflenza, in the province of Somelline,
in which tho enemy were repulsed by tho for
tieth division after a two hours’ conflict. Last
night the picket of the enemy endeavored to pass
the Po at Cerveseva, but were repulsed by the
inhabitants. The Austrians have evacuated
Yerso, in the province of Bobbio.
Turin, June 1. —The victory gained yesterday
has been followed by a second victorious com
bat, which took place at 6 o’clock this evening
at Palestro, which the enemy endeavored to re
enter, but was repulsed again by the division
of General Cialdini, composed of Zouaves and
Piedmontese cavalry. Tho King pressed for
ward where the fight was most furious, the
Zouaves vainly trying to restrain him. On
Tuesday the Austrians attacked the Sardinian
van guard at Sesto Calande, and the fight lasted
two hours. Our troops crossed the Ticino in
pursuit of the enemy.
Additional details of the battle of Palestro
state that the Sardinian right wing was at one
time out-flanked by the Austrians, who threat
ened the bridge of boats across the Sesia, over
which Canrobert was to effect a junction with
the King. At this juncture, the Zouaves came
to the rescue, and turned the tide against the
Austrians. The Zouaves lost one officer, and
twenty men killed, and two hundred wounded,
including ten officers.
The Sardinians are believed to have been
terribly cut up, but their loss is not mentioned.
An Austrian General is reported killed. Napo
leon subsequently visited tho battle field and
congratulated the Sardinians on the result.
The Turin despatch of the 2nd says that the
Austrians on that morning advanced from Bob
bio towards tho French outposts, but retired af
ter a short fight. The movement was made to
conceal the retreat of the Austrians, who had
begun to evacuate Bobbio, carrying with them
about one thousand wounded.
On the 3d, it was telegraphed from Turin that
the Austrians had withdrawn to the Eastern
bank of the Po, and had abandoned Terre Be
rilli and the neighboring country.
Garibaldi had met with reverses. A Vienna
telegram of the Ist announces on official author
ity, that Garibaldi was driven back from Sandrio
into the mountains, and that General Urban with
his troops was pursuing him. The only issue
open to Garibaldi was the Stelvio.
An official telegram from Milan states that on
the Ist, Varese was cannonaded and taken by
Urban, who re-established the legal authorities
and levied war contributions on the city.
Later. —lt was telegrapcd from Turin on the
3d, that Garibaldi had surprised and beaten the
Austrians at Varese, and that the town was
again free of the enemy, and also that Garibaldi
re-entered Como on the night of the 2d.
General Niel entered Novara on the Ist, after
a slight encounter with the Austrian outposts,
who shortly fled. The Emperor arrived there
the same evening, amidst the acclamations of
the people.
The Austrians endeavored to cross the Po at
Bassignares, but the inhabitants opposed them,
firing upon and destroying an Austrian bark.
The French squadron in the Adriatic had cap
tured thirty-five Austrian vessels, the estimated
value of which was four million francs.
The Daily News has a special dispatch, dated
Turin, Friday night, saying that the Austrians,
in full retreat, were re-crossing the Ticino; that
Garibaldi had gained a new victory over the
enemy, and that the insurrection in Lombardy
was spreading.
The Monitor publishes the official notification
of the blockade of Venice.
The recall of the French soldiers on leave of
absence had added one hundred and twenty
thousand veteran soldiers to the French army.
Flat bottomed gunboats were being construct
ed in France for the navigation of the Po, Ticino
and other rivers.
Narrow Escape of Napoleon. —Visiting
the field of battle at Montebello, the Emperor
Napoleon narrowly escaped being made prison
er. He had pushed on as far as Casteggio, and
was observing, with his telescope, the move
ments of the enemy between Barbianello and
the Tortico del Stella upon the Po, when sud
denly a detachment of Austrians presented them
selves before him, only two hundred paces dis
tant. Whether they had lost their way, or
whether they had advanced thus far from mere
hardihood, cannot be told; but it is probable
that the latter supposition is correct, inasmuch
as the advanced posts of tho Austrians are much
more energetic and daring than those of the
Franco-Sardinians. Directly, however, the Em
peror saw them, he changed color, threw away
his cigar, drove the spurs into his horse’s flanks,
and galloped back to Voghera at a pace which
would have done honor to tho winner of the Der
by.
Quebec, June 18.—The steamship Anglo
Saxon has arrived, with Liverpool dates to June
Bth.
London, Wednesday.—The Times this morn
ing publishes a summary of the official nows re
ceived at Vienna up to midnight of Monday. It
is as follows:
There was a fierce battle at Turbigo and
Btiffalora on the 4th. At first only two bri
gades of the first corps were engaged, but they
were subsequently re-enforced, and in the after
noon of the same day the third Austrian corps
took part in tho action. There was very hard
fighting at Buffalora,'somctimes to the advantage
of the French, and sometimes to that of the Aus
trians.
The battle lasted till late in the night, and on
the sth was continued at Magenta. The Allies
made no progress on this day. Two fresh
Austrian corps were engaged, and in tho after
noon the Austrians took up a flank position be
tween Abbiate Grasso and Binasco. The Aus
trians have taken many prisoners. The loss on
both sides was very great. The Austrians had
four generals and five staff officers wounded.
One major was killed.
The Times, in its editorial remarks on the
subject, says it now seems probable that this
hard fight is even yet undecidod. but that on the
whole the French have the best of it.
Tho absence of late telegraphic dispatches
byway of Paris is not considered indicative of
French success.
The London Advertiser says it was rumored
last night that the Government had received a
telegraphic dispatch from the British Minister at
Vienna, announcing an Austrian victory.
The opinion was becoming current in London
that the victory of Magenta was a victory in
which the French were defeated, and their failure
to occupy Milan, only twelve miles from Magen
ta, strengthened this view.
The movement which preceded the battle at
Magenta was not clearly stated, but it was pre
viously announced that the allies were about to
cross the Ticino to the number of about one hun
dred thousand men, and it is presumed the rapid
movement of the allied army prevented the Aus
trians from completing the retreat which they
had commenced, and compelled them to accept
battle on the banks of the river.
The London Post says that General McMahon
was raised on the battle field to the rank of Mar
shal.
The Paris correspondent of the London Post
says the Emperor Napoleon was present at the
battle of Magenta, but did not command in per
son.
There is a report that Gen. Canrobert was mor
tally wounded, and that five French Marshals, or
Generals, were wounded.
The Patrie says that Marshal Baraguay d’Hil
liers was removed from his command, and re
placed by General Fore}’. Marshal Vaillant is
superceded by Gen. Raudon, and the Ministry of
War is to be confided provisionally to Gen. llo
ranna.
There were rumors in Paris, on the Bth, that
the French loss was from nine thousand to twelve
thousand men hors du combat. Generals Neil
and McMahon were said to be among tho wound
ed.
The Paris papers variously estimate the
forces engaged at 100,000 to 120,000 French, and
130,000 to 180,000 Austrians.
Gen. Garibaldi had quitted Lecco, and Gen.
d’Urban had retreated to Monza. It was sup
posed that Garibaldi was directing his march
against d’Urban.
The Paris correspondent of tho London Post
telegraphs that Gen. McMahon has been created
Duke of Magenta.
The following is the first announcement of the
great battle fought on the 4th, by telegraph
from Napoleon to the Empress:
Novara, June 4, 11: 30 P. M.—A great vic
tory has been won at the bridge of Magenta.;-
Five thousand prisoners have been taken. Fif
teen thousand of the enemy are killed or wound
ed. The details will be dispatched by telegraph.
The above was published in Paris on Sunday,
sth, and on the evening of that d*/ the cannon
at the Hotel des Invalides announced the victo
ry, and the c ty was brilliant!/ illuminated.
On the following day (Monday) The Moniteur
published the following dispatches from tho em
peror to the Empress:
Magenta, June 5. —Yesterday our army was
under orders to march on Milan across the bridge
thrown over the Ticino at Turbigo. The opera
tion was well executed, although the enemy,
who had re-passed the Ticino in great force, of
fered most determined resistance. The road
way was narrow, and during two hours the Im
perial Guard sustained, unsupported, the shock
of the enemy. In the meantime Gen. McMahon
made himself master of Magenta. After sangui
nary conflicts we repulsed the enemy at every
point, with a loss on our side of 2,000 men.—
The loss of the enemy is estimated at 15,000
killed and wounded, and 5,000 Austrian prison
ers remained in our hands.
Magenta, June 5—P. M.—The Austrians
taken prisoners are at least seven thousand, and
the Austrians placed hors de combat are twenty
thousand. Three pieces of cannon and two
flags were captured from the enemy.
To-day our army rests for the purpose of re
organising itself. Our loss is about three thou
sand killed and wounded, and one cannon taken
by the enemy.
The following dispatch, also from the Em
peror to the Empress. was received on the 6th,
and bulletined at the Bourse :
Headquarters, Monday, 8 A. M.—Milan is
in surgent. The Austrians have evacuated tho
town and castle, leaving, in their precipitation,
tho cannon and treasure of the army behind
them. We are encumbered with prisoners,
and have taken twelve thousand Austrian mus
kets.
A dispatch dated Paris, Monday night, to the
London Post, says: The Municipality of Milan
proclaims Victor Emanuel, and have presented
an address to him in the presence of the Em
peror. To-morrow tho King will make his en
try into Milan.
Austrian Accounts. —The following are Aus
trian accounts byway of Vienna. The informa
tion is meagre and unsatisfactory.
The details and the result of the battle at Ma
genta are still expected from the Austrian head
quarters; the Austrian army had been trans
ferred during the night from the 4th to tho sth
instant, to Abbiate Grasso. The same news
states that the combat was undecided, and that
a further fight was expected on the next day.
The following official bulletin was issued:
Vienna, Monday, June G —UJA. M.—A des
perate combat took place on Saturday between
the first and third (Count Clam’s and Prince
Lichtenstein’s) corps d'arviee and the enemy,
who had passed the Ticino in very considerable
force. The result of the contest was undecided.
The combat was continued on Sunday!*
Our troops threw themselves upon tho ene
my's ranks with ardor, and showed a valor and
perseverance worthy of tho most glorious feats
of arms of the Imperial army. Milan is perfect
ly tranquil. The headquarters, yesterday, were
still at Abbiate Grasso.
An Austrian telegraphic dispatch from Vero
na gives a similar view, but adds that the au
thorities and weak garrison of Milan, with the
exception of the castle garrison, have withdrawn,
at the command of Gen. Gyulai. The town is
quiet.
The following message from Vienna had been
published by the Frankfort papers, without any
guarantee as to the authenticity of the news:
Vienna, Monday.—Through the opportune
arrival of the corps d’armee of Field Marshal
Clam-Gallas on the battle field, the Austrians
were victorious after a hot fight, and the French
were thrown back over tho Ticino.
Rumors prevalent at Paris represent the
