      ITALY . TIIE FALL OF ROME . The following letters ( which we -extract _ft-am the * Daily News' ) were "written previous to ths _capitnlaiionof the city , Rome , Jtjse 26 . —A brisk attack was made last nig ht along the whole Ime from Porta Portese to Porta _Cavalleggieri , and - tbe bastion to the right o Porta Pancrazio ( at whfch point the-batteries of lhe French in the Villa _Gorsini have been labouring to effect a new breach for the last two days ) -was tlie part principally _asssalted . The Romans were sot , however , to be cacghtnnawares , as at the Casino Barberini _. on the" 21 st ; they repulsed the _eneeay vigorously , and a "fire of musketry avd _Rrapeshet for about two hours must have _kflictedconsider _^ jie loss

      on the assaileats . The news of Aneonah &** ing surrendered "has made but little impression here , everybody ' s-attention being now-directed to _hindering the French from entering . Their attack on the bastion to the rig ht of San Pancraz o and on the large T-illa "Vascello beyond the gate last si g ht was peculiarly unsuccessful , as , being made "by close columns , the Roman cannon told tremendously amongst their ranks . The attacks on the other gates were _rsade by sharpshooters and light infantry merely to create a diversion .

      It is quite delig htful to see Garibaldi ' s soldiers -newly dressed _aed wearing clean shirts after twenty--five iays and nig hts of continual -combat and watching , without , ever taking their clothes off their backs . The major part of them are already returned to San Pancrazio . It is rumoured that iheir general wished to make a sortie from the Porta del Popolo last night , bnt that the triumvirate overruled his intention . He visited the _Trastevere quarter yesterday afternoon , sn leaving the _Janicalom _, and inspected ihe damages resulting from the French shells and "b alls . The women saluted him frith loud shouts of

      * "Viva Garibaldi' and - Vivail nostro _protettore !' to which he replied that he feared they were tired of the bombardment . ' No , no , ' said they , - let the bombs come : we are not afraid of them , and we turn an honest penny by them . ' The properly of the King of Naples in this city bas been formally confiscated , and placards are placed on the doors of his palaces and gardens , with the inscription , < Property of the Republic ; long live the republic !'

      June 27 . —It appears that the French prefer nocturnal attacks to diurnal ones . Last night , abont II o ' clock , they again assaulted theline extending from Porta Portese to Porta CavaHeggieri , bnt without being able to effect an entry ( if such was their _iniention . ) The moon afforded a feeble light whereby to carry on the operation , but a thick fog , following the intense heat of the day , soon rendered it almost nseless . A continual fire of musketry , with _occasional discharge _^ of grape , kept the enemy at bay , and the morning light showed that his close columns bad left many victims under the ramparts . The attack was not , however , without an advantageous

      result to the Trench , considering it as a mere diversion , since they were enabled , under Its cover , to establish three batteries on that point of the Janicu-Inm in the power of the advanced guard—one on the left of the Casino Barherini , another on the breach in the curtain , between the second and third bastion , and the last behind a toner on the second bastion to the left ot Porta San Pancrazio , which forms the extreme left of their present position . From these batteries a powerful fire was opened at day break , and vigorously replied to by thc Roman batteries of the Casino Spada , contiguous to the first bastion , that of the first bastion ( which is the

      hi g hest of all ) , that of San Pietro in Montorio , and , occasionally , that of San Cosimato . The battery of the Pini , below San Pietro , in Montorio , being too exposed , did not fire . With a good map oi Rome you will now , I think , be able to get an exact knowledge of the respective situations of the two armies , bearing ; in mind that the ancient line of wall of the time of Aurelian ( rebuilt by Honorius ) forms tne present line of defence adopted by the Romans . The whole day has been employed in a combat of artillery , in which the Roman cannon appears to Lave had ihe advantage . By seven o'clock in

      _theroorning the French battery at the Casino Barberini was silenced , and that situated on the breach was so tormented by lhe guns of San Pietro in Montorio that its fire was only kept up at intervals . The battery behind the tower on the second bastion , being in a more covered position , maintained itself in activity the whole day , and is the onl y one used b y the French this afternoon . The cannons of the Aventine and Testaccio have been also engaged with the enemy ' s pieces , situated in the "Vi gna Merluzzetto , on the right bank of the Tiber , south of the third bastion , and those on the eminence to the left ofthe Basilica ef St . Paul extra muros . With all

      this music ( as the Romans call it ) going on day and night , it may -well he imagined that repose is out of the question , and the troops stationed in the actual scene of conflict must be quite worn out . The French depredations continue . Their numerous cavalry _sives them an advantage in being able to send detachments to all the principal roads , and intercept the carts coming into the city . This morning tbey carried off 150 carts , chiefly laden vsith wine . It is said that the French commissarygeneral pays the soldiers at a very low rate for oxen , corn , - trine , and whatever other booty they can lay their fraternal hands on in the Campagna , charging

      bis own government with the full value . The worthy contractor fe thus realising an enormous fortune , whilst the soldiers are too happy to be paid for robbing . The sufferers are the Romans , whose -- liberty and order" are such a source of anxiety to their * _* " protectors . " Amongst other things borne off by tbe freebooters yesterday was the stock of frozen Bnow , cf which ( here is a large deposit on the Alban bill , and which comes almost daily to Rome during tbe summer . The consequence is , that the wounded

      are deprived of its cooling virtues in the hospitals , and the _MUtties of the cafes must manage to get over this evening without their accustomed iced maionelle or granite . People ought certainly not to complain of the loss of ices in a besieged city , but to prohibit the entry of that which is almost mare important than medicine in the hospitals during tbis sultry -weather , is a dastardly trait in the French commander , especially as many of bis own soldiers are charitabl y brought into the city to be cured of their wounds .

      Another proceeding of General Oudinot ' s has produced fresh irritation against him amongst the Romans . Since the consular protest he has not continued to bombard the town , but be bas pointed two thirty-six-pounders against the hi g h range extending from the TtMia de Monti to the Quirinal , which batter the houses and do almost as much mischief as shells . Jtoxk 28 . —We have had another night of cannonading _. but there is no material change in the state of things this morning . The French cannon of

      tbe-2 nd bastion batters San Pietro in Montorio so severely that ths church , iu which a hospital has been established for the severely wounded , is no longer safe , in spite ofthe black flag which indicates its sacred character . The Eomans are therefore obliged to transport tbe unfortunate inmates elsewhere , . and the battery of San Pietro is silent during the operation . Two pieces on tfee breach , pointed against tbe town , fire continuall y , and are answered by the Roman battery of the 1 st bastion . The French battery to the left of tbe _Caeno Barherini is silent .

      The Pauline water is again cut off . It is said that tbe French fear mines , and flood the environs in order to soak the powder .

      ? he Romans . The _d-wcage done by the French artillery is immense _, -fhe Spada Palace Was struck by thirty-seven cannon balls , and the famous statue of Pompey is no more . Thc f resco of _Poussin , in tho Palace Castegni , is destroyed . St . Peter ' s in Montorio , is riddled with shot that have destroyed the _paiutin-vs of _Sebastiano de Piombino , and ruined the TcmplcofBramnnte . At two p . m ., on the 30 th , thc Assembly finished tho discussion ofthe constitutionand thus their mission was at an end . The

      , Triumvirs came to state the desperate circumstances of the defence . Three proposals were discussed : 1 st , to surrender ; 2 ndly , to defend themselves within Rome to the last ; 3 rdly , to leave Rome and themselves in the provinces . The troops were for the second course . The noise of artillery frequently drowned the voices of the orators . The Moor of Garibaldi , who had acquired groat fame for valour , was killed in the _en-ragement of tho 30 th ult .

      The Cmcordia of Turin gives the following account of the death of M . Laviron , a Frenchman , fighting in the ranks ofthe Romans , who after having beea president of one of the most violent of tho Paris clubs , and having taken part in the insurrection of June , escaped to Rome , where he entered the army . It says : —* * While " the deputation charged with carrying to General Oudinot the protest ofthe foreign consuls were going out at tho Porto St . Pancrazio , Captain Laviron , a Frenchman , and aide-de-camp to Garibaldi , having looked over the parapet of sacks which covers the walls , was wounded by a French hall , and expired afew moments afterwards . Another letter states that Captain Laviron was wounded at the moment when he was going out of Rome with Ghilardi and Plaisten , and carrying the protest to the French

      camp . The Paris Moniteur publishes the despatches brought bythe aide-de-camp of General Oudinot , who arrived in Paris on Tuesday , having left Rome on the 4 th . The surrender ofthe city was nnconditional . Two columns of French troops entered on the 3 rd , —one , with General Oudinot and his staff at the head , by the Porta Portese ; the other , with General Gueswcller , by the Porta del Popolo and the Corso . A hostile feeling was shown in the Corso , where a group was assembled with a flag

      surmounted by a cap of liberty . The flag was cut down by the troops . Garibaldi , with from 3 , 000 to 4 , 000 men , left at one side while the French entered at the other .- He was believed to have taken the road to Albano . Rome was tranquil . La Patrie says that Garibaldi , who had quitted Rome with 4 , 060 or 5 , 000 men had taken the road to Terracina _, and traversed the kingdom of Naples to take refuge in the Abrtizzi , where he proposed to carry on a guerilla warfare .

      Private letters from Rome of the 4 th mention that the clubs were to be shut up " j the violent journals suppressed ; the Constituent Assembly dissolved ; the Roman troops discharged * strangers who had taken an active part in the late troubles expelled ; a municipality elected ; anil military tribunals to judge crimes against persons and property established . General Oudinot had published a proclamation , in which the Pope was alluded to only indirectly . The Phrygian cap had been removed from all public places . Rome was declared tobe in a state of siege . General Oudinot has given orders to the authorities of the States of the Church to arrest all the French who carried arms against the French troops , and to shoot them at the drumhead .

      It is said that the Triumvirs , Sam , Ramellim , and Mazzini have escaped to Malta on board an English ship . The Daily News states that the Triumvirs had not quitted Rome .

      THE SIEGE OF VENICE . . The * - Risorgimento' of Turin ofthe 4 th contains a letter from Venice of the 27 th ult ., stating that ever since the abandonment of Malghera , the city carries on its principal defence from two small forls , at about 1 , 000 yards from the first houses of Venice , one situated on the small island of San Secondo , and the o _* . her on the railroad bridge . The Austrian shells do not reach further than about 400 yards within Venice . Provisions are very scarce ; nothing but black bread , half baked , is to be got ; meat and wine are become luxuries . Still a calm determination to resist reigns among the Venetians .

      General Thurn has sent to Vienna a report concerning the operations before Venice , from which it appears that the statement that the bombardment was suspended in consequence of renewed negotiations , is incorrect . Since the 25 th ult , nine _twentyfour pounders and six grenade cannons have been plied with unin'erupted activity against the Venetian battery of seven cannons on the railway bridge . Early on the 27 th four of these pieces were silenced _, it was observed that the embrasures and parapets , which the Venetians had hitherto worked up with great ardour during the night , were this time but very imperfectly executed . The continued fire of the besiegers day and night gives ground , therefore ,

      for the expectation that they will soon reduce to complete silence this battery , which bars them at present from all nearer approach to Venice . The Venetians appear to have given up the design of constructing a battery behind the present one , on the next pier of the _railway-bridge ; meanwhile they seem to be busy laying a mine there instead . The throwing of shells into the city was carried forward with effect ; many of these projectiles have reached tbe district of the Canal _Itsggio , killed people there , and injured buildings . It has been clearly ascertained that the terminus of the railway bas been evacuated . As soon as the battery on the railway bridge has been completely dismounted , a

      battery of mortars will be established nearer the city , to carry on the bombardment with more energy . The ingenious invention of the Artillery-Lieutenant _Uchalzius , of propelling shells by air balloons , could not be tried for the first three days after this officer ' s arrival , by reason of the contrary wind . A preliminary trial was , however , instituted , notwithstanding the _unfavourable state of the atmosp here . ( This trial is known to have turned out a compltt _? failure , all the shells falling into the sea . ) The projected destruction of the salt-works at Burano has been set about with the damming of the Sile river . This will add considerably to the want of the necessaries of life already so strongly felt by the Venetians .

      A-letter of the 4 th , from Trieste , states that such a tremendous cannonade as that of the preceding night against Venice had never been heard . The roar of cannon lasted from eleven o ' clock at night till five in the morning . It is supposed that an attempt had been made to storm the Viaduct .

      FRANCE . Paris , _Sunoay . — M . Drouin de 1 'IIuys is gazetted this morning as ambassador extraordinary of the Republic on a temporary mission to the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland . Yesterday the commission of whicli M . Poujoulat is the chairman presented the report ef the Committee appointed to examine the demand made b y the Procureur-General of Bourges for authorisation to prosecute M , Gambon , and gave an opinion that the authorisation ought rot to be granted . The Assembly to-day confirmed the decision of the committee . On the other hand , the Chamber granted the authorisation to prosecute M . Pflieger .

      The split in the Cabinet on the affairs of Rome is becoming every day more apparent . M . de Falloux and General de Rulhieres are the leaders of the reactionary party ; M . Dufaure and M . Odillon Barrot the leaders of the other party . M . de Falloux is supported by the greater portion of the members of tbe club of the Conseil d'Elat . The policy to be adopted at Rome is the great bone of contention , and sooner or later it will necessarily lead to amodification of the Cabinet .. In the Leg islative Assembly yesterday the bill by M . de Montalembert authorising the government to unite the commarid Gf the troops ofthe first military division of France and of the National Guards of Paris in the hands of the same person , was passed , by a majority of 332 to 148 . The Siege of Rome . —The folio wing paragraph appeared in the official evening paper : —

      •* By a telegraphic despatch , dated Marseilles , July 7 th ,. half-past- three a . m ., the general commanding the seventh military "division informs the Minister of "War that one of General Oudinot ' s aides-de-camp a ' rrwed there on the previous evening .- Ha was to leave for Pan ' s to-day . He announces that the army entered Rome on the 3 rd , in the middle ef the day . * . ., The same journal publishes the following telegraphic despatch : — ' --.

      Italy. Tiie Fall Of Rome. The Following ...

      was delivered into our hands this morning , at seven o ' clock . , , , .. * ¦ ¦ . '" The * Moniteur publishes a despavch from General Oudinot dated Head-quarters . 30 lh ult ., in which a detailed account is g iven of the operations of the army on the _28-b and 29 th . More than 400 Romans were killed with the bayonets , and 125 prisoners , of whom nine teen were officers , were taken by the French . The loss on the side of the French is stated at about nine killed and 110 wounded . Letters from _Sirasburg announce the arrival there of a considerable number . if refugees from the Grand Duchy of Baden , most of the military men amongst them have agreed to-take , service in the Foreign Legion in Africa . %

      Accounts from thc provinces mention that several arrests , connected with the late insurrectioinry movement in Paris and Lyons , have taken" place at Montpellier , Toulouse , and _Wantau , in the depart _, mentof the Ain , , ¦ Paris , Tuesday . —So far as the fact can yet bo ascertained , it appears that in several sections the voters have refrained from exercising their privilege of deciding who shall represent them in the National Assembly . In many cases less than one half of the citizens whose names appear on the electoral list went to the poll . This apathy , as some of the journals call it , has been bitterly denounced by a portion ofthe press , but others ascribe the neglect to a disinclination to take part in an election conducted whilst the city is in a state of siege , aud the personal freedom of each citizen dependant on the will of a military commander .

      The French force in Rome have been deprived of one of the compliments usually paid to victorious armies , in consequent of the present position of political parties in the Assembly . After the Minister of War , on Monday , had read in the Legislative Chamber the despatch given yerterday , a vote of thanks was proposed to the expeditionary army for their conduct , but tbe Left refused to accede to it , through fear of thereby including the government in the testimony of approbat ' _iorn On a division they refrained altogether from voting , and the consequence was that the vote was found not to be a valid one ; a sufficient number of voters not being present .

      The French government are proceeding . to undo gradually what the Constituent had forced them to do . They have legalised General Changarnier ' s double command , and now they are about to give a salary of 30 , 000 francs for . his services in the command of the national guard of the Seine . Now , as no officer of the national guard receives any indemnity , this sum is placed under the convenient head of' expenses of service ; ' this , too . when it is known that General Perrot has an indemnity of the same kind as superior in command of the national guard of the Seine , under the immediate authority of Gen . ChangarnicF . The project of indemnity was adopted by 333 against 123 .

      Progress of the Terror . —Four more representatives of the legislative Assembly are to be prosecuted by government , if the Assembly will grant the authorisations , which is not doubtful . A letter from Macon states , that MM . Roland ( a member of the legislative Asseihbly for the Saone and Loire ) , Gonan and Pizza have been ordered for trial before the Court of Assize of the Cote _d'Or , for having delivered seditious speeches at a political club at Macon . A warrant has been issued for the arrest of sixteen town-councillors of Villeneuve-sur-Lot , who , on the 14 th of June , signed a protest iri favour of the Constitution , and a declaration to refuse to pay the taxes until the government should have resumed a constitutional course .

      The town of Montelemart , department of the Drome , has been declared in a state of siege by General Lapene , commanding the department . The 'National' draws attention to-day to tin in terview which took place a few days ago between the Duke of Bordeaux and the Prince , of _Joinville , at Vienna , and declares that an entente cordialeh & s sprung up between the two branches of the House of Bourbon , for their mutual interests . The Duke of Bordeaux is coming to Holland , where , it is said , he will receive the homage of his partisans , as he did some years ago at Belgrave-square .

      _EscAr-E or Ledru Rollin * . —M . Ledru Rollin has at length escaped from France . He arrived at Brussels on Friday last , and on the following morningslarted for Cologne ,-on his way to Swii _^ rland . M . Ledru Rollin wasaccorapanied hy MM . Etienne Arago and Martin Bernard , who are also implicated in the affair of June ; and by M . Bixio , who was Minis ! er Plenipotentiary at Turin immediately after the Revolution of February , and who , for a short time after the election of the President of the Republic , held a seat in the Cabinet as Minister of Commerce . " Wednesday . —Thanks to the Reign of Terror tho Moderates have been elected for Paris , and are said to have been generally successful in the departments . Lamartine has obtained a seat for the Loirct .

      The motion of M . LGcloduvo ,. for the levying ef the state of siege of Paris , was yesterday negatived by thc Assembly by a majority of 373 to 131 . M . James Dcmontry , one ofthe members of the Legislative Assembly compromised in the affair of the 13 th of June , has died at Cologne of cholera . M . Dcmontry escaped from France under the name of Labourcaux , and having inscribed his name in the registry at his hotel , his death is certified under that name .

      GERMANY . THE INSURRECTION IN BADEN . Letters from Carlsruhe , of the 4 th , slate that Rastadt continued to be completely surrounded by the Prussians , and the general in command had summoned the garrison and inhabitants to surrender within twenty-four hours , threatening to bombard the town if they did not . The garrison had refused . The head-quarters of the Prince of Prussia were at Offenburg , and the military operations in the Oberland were continuing . A corps d ' armee had set out for the Circle of the Lake .

      A letter from Baden , of the 2 nd inst ., says : — « For tlie last three days our little town and . its en . virons have heen inundated with the troops of the empire , who entered Baden in the afternoon of the 30 th , in two columns , one bythe mountains and lhe other by the valley of Lichtenthal . These troops , forming a corps of 18 , 000 men of all arms , and composed of contingents from Mecklenburg , Nassau , Ilease Darmstadt , Bavaria , Wurtemburg , Sygraar * ingen , and Frankfort , had had on the previous day a very desperate engagement , witli a body of 6 , 000 Baden insurgents near Gernshach . The combat commenced about noon , and did not terminate until the evening . Twenty or thirty houses in the

      faubourg of Gernsbach , situated on the right bank of the Mury , and in which the free corps were entrenched , were destroyed and burnt . Thc bridge , wbich at this place crossed the Mnrg , was , it is said , covered with dead . The fury of the combatants was sogreat on both _sid es that they fought hand to hand in the middle of the river . Not being able to dislodge the insurgents from the , houses they occupied , and from which they kept up a destructive fire on the imperial troops , recourse was had to artillery and shells , by which the-conflagration was caused . ' Clouds of smoke were visible from this p lace . About nine o ' clock in the evening 2 , 000 insurgents , mostly belonging to the Bavarian Palatinate , and coming from Gernsbach , passed , through Baden in great haste towards Oos Rastadt . These

      bands , who had taken up a position in the woods which skirt the entrance of the valley , attempted a fresh engagement on the 30 th ult ., wilh a battalion of Nassau : troops who were sent to dislodge them . The insurgents managed to get possession of a piece of cannon , but was taken back the next day . From the top ofthe Castle of Baden lhe ' engagement was distinctly visible . To-day the insurgents are in full retreat on Often burg and Freiburg . ;; The Prince of Prussia , who has his head . quarters at the village of Buhl , came here yesterday to view the troops , with Geri . Peucker and Gen . Schaeffer . As to the fortress of _Rsstadt , it is entirely surrounded by a corps of -15 , 000 Prussians , and as it is known thatthe garrison bas only provisions for a few days , its speedy and inevitable capture is calculated on . ' :

      ' Berlin , Joly . 5 . —A telegraphic despatch of the 3 rd from the head . quarters of the Prussian " army / in Baden , at Renchen , announces that the corps of Geri . von der Groben stayed behind before _Rastaff , while that o f Gen . Hirschfeld , which had been joined by the Prince of Prussia , had advanced to . Offenburg . Kebl has been occupied , by trie Prussians . The insurgents under Mieroslawski have retreated to _Frelburg j followed on the ftauk by the corps of Gen . Peucker . In Freiburg , Brentano , with his ; colleagues , has been dismissed from authority ( other accounts saythat he resigned ) , ' arid Kiefer , of Emmendingen , formerly an officer , made sole dictator . Struve has escaped , it ia said . He was fired at twice , but _eash shot missed him .

      The battahon of the Landwehr of Iserlohn liassuffered much in the last combalf . The 1 st battalion of the 38 th _ReKimea of Prussian _Ir-iantrv , that had

Breslau , Scbuler , _Zta of Mayence , and Erbe were ail of them at Basel . Very important documents have been discovered at Mannieim respecting the projects of the Reds ; they compromise a good many , amongst others , the deputy Vogt . ¦ ¦ ¦ - ,. ¦ ¦ News from _Heidelbarg , to July 3 , informs us that on that dav a court-martial was opened there in the great hall " of the Museura , ' and indeed publicly . Only persons provided with tickets were admitted , however . The persons most gravely implicated were TrutEschler , Stock , Jansen , Sloll . - ¦¦'¦

      .. The Local Constituent Assembly in Freiburg , on the 28 th ult ., passed a resolution requiring an energ etic continuation of the war , and voting all negotiation with the enemy to be treachery . Brentano took this as a vote of mistrust , and resigned . A still more democratically-inclined individual was chosen Dictator in his place ; but he declined office , and Brentano having subsequently fled without rendering any account of his government , or naming his destination , was declared guilty of high treason by the Assembly , which a t the same time ordered his instant pursuit . The insurgents' haye still nearly two-thirds of ihe country of Baden in their possession .

      July 6 . —The fortresB town of Rastadt still refuses to yield ; the garrison would perhaps capitulate , but will not surrender at discretion . The counter revolution in the small districts of Mulheim , Lorrach , Schopfheim , has totally failed , and the republicans still rule there . _^ At Bruchsal , too , as soon as the Prussians had withdrawn arid marched to "Wieslocb , the inhabitants arose , so likewise in Durlach , which is quite close to Carlsruhe , for the purpose of liberating the prisoners in Bruchsal , so that execution troops , as they are called , had to be sent to both places ; the troops were from Nassau and Lichtenstein . It is evident that the revolution is still smouldering throughout the country . It was

      stated tbat Professor Kinkel , of Bonn , who was a leader of the insurgents , and who was taken fighting against the Prussian troops , had been condemned to death b y court-martial , and that the sentence would certainly be executed . At Kuppenheim , General Grajben issued on the 5 th inst . the following bulletin : Thc insurgents have-quitted Friburg .

      THE WAR IN HUNGARY . Count Ladislas Telek ' i , the Hungarian envoy at Paris , has published the following protest , which he has received from his government : — The Hungarian nation , struck to the heart , has triumphed , with the aid of the Almighty , over a revolt which a perjured dynasty has excited against tbe laws and the constitution , by intrigues and by force . The country has driven back as far as the frontier the Austrian armies , who , in order to oppress the liberty arid independence of the nation , had invaded its ' territory . In virtue of its imprescriptible ri ght as a nation , in virtue of the duty of legitimate defence , the Hungarian nation unanimously pronounced

      the fall of the house of Hapsburg-Lorrame , as perjured and criminal . Never did a nation fight in a more just cause—never was a dynasty more justly punished—never had a nation more right to hope that its government , the unanimous expression of the will of the people , may be able to efface , by supporting itself on order and peace , the traces of a long despotism . And nevertheless we see rushing on our frontiers in Galicia and at Cracow the armies ofthe Czar , ready to invade Hungary " at the first call ofthe house of Hapsburg , without any declaration of war . All these preparations prove that the house of Hapsburg does not hesitate to call in the aid of the Russians , to re-establish its despotic power on the ruins of Hungary . The Hungarian

      nation is resolved to repel this fresh aggression . It is decided to shed the veiy last drop of its blood , ratlier than recognise for its master a king who is the murderer of his people . In coming to this firm resolution it religiously believes in the justice of its cause , because it is a holy one ; but ifc does not the less protest , in the face of God and ot all civilised nations , against the iniquitous intervention of Russia , which in the interest of a perjured despot tramples underfoot the right of nations and the imprescriptible rights of man . It protests in the consciousness of the duty of its self-defence to which it has been reduced . It protests in the name of that eternal rig ht of nations , which has ever been the sacred foundation of thc mutual relations between

      States . It protests in the name of treaties , of declaration , and of guarantees which place under the _tegis ofthe sentiments of justice common to all people the . existence of him who is threatened with death . It protests in the name of the balance of powerin Europe , in the name of liberty and civilisation . It protests in the name of humanity and of the innocent blood which cries for vengeance to the God of Justice . The Hungarian nation counts on the sympathy of every nation which loves right and liberty respondino * to this cry . But were it

      abandoned by all , strong in its conscience , it does not the less declare before God and be / ore men , tbat it will never yield to the violence of tyrants , and that it will struggle to its last breath in the defence of its rights against the attacks of despotism . Let God , let the civilised world , judge between us and our oppressors . ( Signed ) - Count Casimib . _Batthiaj-Y , ' Minister of Foreign Affairs . ' Kossuth , Governor . ' Debreezin , May 18 . '

      Thc various news now arriving from all parts oi the theatre of war clearly show that it enters into the plan of the Hungarians to retire once more into the interior of the land , so as to concentrate there all iheir strength ; for it is impossible for us to believe that the absence of all serious resistance to the Imperialists , now penetrating north , south , and east , can be from any other motive . News from the west tell us , that tbe united imperial army left Raab on the 29 _ih , and advanced in two divisions on the two roads to Comorn on the one band and to _Stuhlwcissenburg on the other . Previous to the departure of the troops they demolished to the very foundations the house from which

      Field-Marshal Lieutenant Wohlgemuth was shot at , and only the personal intervention of the Emperor prevented further scenes of destruction . The Jewish district , on the alleged ground of being hostilely disposed , and of nourishing sympathies in favour of Kossuth and of freedom , was punished with a tvar fine of 80 , 000 florins , and which every Jew upon pain of execution was ordered to pay within twentyfour hours . A few shootings by drum-head : court _, martial and a great many arrests took place also Nevertheless ,, the greater part of the male population and especially most of the boys , as likewise numerous Amazons , had accompanied the Hungarians on their retreat , so that there actually remained but very few to arrest .

      On the morning of the 30 th Schlick reached Acs with his corps ; here an action was fought , by which the Hungarians covered their retreat . The entire Hungarian army of the Danube stood at Bctis , on the slopes of the Bakonyer forest . The Austrian _head-quartm were advanced to Bariya , arid frorii there , on the 1 st , to Bdbolna , so celebrated for its great stud . Here the emperor passed the night , in the castle of Prince Esterhazy . From the northern seat of war * the news is by no means favourable to tbe cause of the Hungarians . The mighty battle said to have been fought at Eperies turns out to have been an action which the vanguard of the Russians had at Somos , above Kaschau , with a Hungarian corps , 4 , 000 strong , that was destined to cover

      the retreat of the . Hungarian army to'St . Mikolcz and Erlaw . The . ' . retrenchments ' and defences at Kaxchsu were given up without ' _acontest , and Pa skiewich , qn ' -. tbc 25 th ult ., entered there . On the 26 th , the . army advanced . further to . the' south , on the road to Pesth , and on the 27 th the Russian headquarters ' were at St . _Mikolcz ; This place is two days and a half march from Pesth , arid _Paskiewicb sent couriers to Vienna to say that qui he 1 st of July he would pitch his ' camp on the Uakoezy field before Pesth , Events will soon show whether he will keep his word , or not , but no doubt he has given a thought since , to the fact that the battle-fields of Erlau _. Kapolna , Hatyan _. and Gongollo lie along that very road between St . Mikolczand Pesth . y" '

      Intelligence has been received from _Leniberg _. that another Russian corps ' of 60 , 000 men were shortl y to arrive ; and that in Cracow 20 , 000 of the St . Petersburg !* , guards were expected . The . Czar , _therefore , seems firmly resolved to employ almost his jwhole army against the rebellions , anarchical _, _dsmoeratical , infidel west . From _Transjlvania two- sides send us news _Czemowttz _. and Bukarest , The former says , tha *

      the imperial Russian crmy corps untie * -- Grotenllelm and Fischer , which , as we have stated , left Walra-Dornaori the 19 tb , appeared ; on the 21 st before _Bistro' / iZ , and on the 23 d , after a feeble resistance , took the town . The Hungarian ' troops , who were posted in this part of Transylvania , concentrated themselves , to the amount of 18 , 000 or 20 , 000 men , at Dees , where they took up a very strong position . From the eastern frontier the intelligence i 9 worse . General _Luders on the 20 th ult . actually did attack the Tomos Pass , as has bseu of late reported , and forced it after a most . desperate resistance . The Hungarians lost eleven cannons , and Colonel Kiss , well known for his martial gallantry , fell wounded into the hands _' of the Cossacks , whereupon he was conveyed under their escort to _Czernowltz . On the

      same day General Luders entered _Cronstadr , and the citadel of this town surrendered at the first summons ori the 21 st ult . _withuutKattempting even a defence . In the south the Ban Jellachich has launched forth into the world along bulletin , the long and the short of which is , however , that he stands where he stood before , namely at Sove on the Francis Canal . All the reports therefore about the splendid victories at Verbash , at St . Thamas , Szenta , were untrue , for otherwise the _Banus would surely have mentioned them . Tbe action , which the . bulletin records , took place on the 24 th at Obeckse on the Theiss . Here Perczel , in order to operate with Bern , crossed the river , and his rear was attacked by a numerically far superior division of Jellachich ' s corps that had advanced from St . Thamas and Poldvar . Jn

      spite of the twofold numerical superiority of the Ban ' s troops , he could not manage to gain any advantages , and he actually retreated himself in the evening towards the south across the above-named Francis Canal , where his head-quarters now are . Looking at his position , there can be no question of occupying Temeswar , or of threatening Szegedin . The fighting at Peterwardein continues uninterruptedly between the Hungarian garrison and the besieging corps . Bistritz was stormed by the Russian corps from the Bukowina on the 25 th . The - Strangers' Gazetie' declares that Prince Metternich was expected at his castle of _Kcenigswartb , in Bohemia .

      Peterwardein still holds out against the united troops of the Ban and those of the Servian chief Mamula , but the bombardment of the fortress has been suspended by the Ban ' s orders ,

      REPULSE OF THE _AUSTRO-RUSSIAN ARMY . The main corps of the army , headed by the emperor , turned off from Babolna towards Acs , in order to effect at the latter place a passage across the Danube into the island of Schritt , with the view of proceeding towards Comorn b y both banks , and undertaking the siege of that fortress . But the bridge and the fete-depont at Acs were very strongly entrenched by the Hungarians-and . . Gorgey was there with twenty battalions of infantry , _twelfth squadrons of cavalry , and fifty pieces of cannon . The _Imperiaiitts , emboldened by their easy _coiiqtiest of Raab , were for taking these entrenchments by

      storm . The battle was obstinate , and lasted eight hours . The Austro-Russian army was compelled to fall back , after having suffered great loss . They took , however , from the Hungarians a whole battery , consisting of six six-pounders and two twelvepounders , which ventured too far from the trenches in pursuit , and fell into the hands of a regiment of light horse . Gorgey commanded the Magyars in parson . The emperor is said to have followed long with his _spy-glas-i the movements of this general , whose name has been so often brought to his ears in connexion with Austrian disasters . This battle oc curred on the 2 nd ; on the 3 rd a fresh attack would be made on the _tc-te-de-pont at Acs .

      There was a battle also on the road occupied by Schlick on the same day . He was met by Kiapka , at the head of 10 , 000 men , and stopped from advancing further . In the island of Schutt the _Hungarians were still at Nyard . Here there has been a battle , too , or rather an outpost skirmish . The Austrians , 20 , 000 strong , wanted to assume the offensive in order to join the main imperial army when it crosses the D nube . On the Upper Waag , the Magyars were still in possession of all points , and the Russian troops which advanced from the north under General Sass were obliged to fall back , so that this leader was on the lstin & tant driven up to hisold post of Jordanow , in Galicia . But whether thisretreat was the result of a victory on the part of the _Magyars is not known . But it is certain that on the 29 th cannon *

      admg was beard at Tyrnau , and it was conjectured that this came from a battle at Trentschin . In the south Jellachich is making preparations to cross over to tbe right bank of the Danube at Baja , and thence on tbe road of Baja and Foldvar to advance along tbe Danube towards _Stuhl-Weissenburg . He has , 'however , only 6 . 000 troops" disposable for this purpose , part of his corps having marched against Theresianopel . Jetlachich will have to meet with many difficulties in the course ofhis march , and will not easily escape the Hungarian corps under Gen , Aulich , stationed near the Platten-See .

      Concerning the operation cf the Russian army in the north , another bulletin has come out , which imparts the following facts : —On the road from Kaschau to St . Mikolcz the main army was divided into two corps at Nemethi , whereof one under the personal conduct of Paskiewich , entered St . Mikolcz on the 29 tb ; the other , under _Ceodajsff _, marched in the direction of the Theiss towards Tokay . At Tokay a battle was fought with 4 , 000 Magyars stationed there . Tbe Russian force consisted of twenty five

      battalions of infantry and fifty squadrons of cavalry , making about 40 , 000 men . After an engagement of several hours , the Hungarians were driven from the bridge , which , however , they cut away after their passage . Meantime some detachments , of Cossacks plunged with their horses into the river , and , swimming across , took possession of tbe pontoons , by which means the bridge ; wai speedily re-established , and Ceodajeff crossed the Theiss , and next day continued his march against Debreezin .

      Cracow , Juxy , 2 . —The corps of Siewer is advancing against the Magyars , and to-day two squadrons of Uhlans entered Cracow . The Austrians , as if they were riot quite sure of the event of the war , are taking the precaution to fortify the hills at Podgoiz , on tbe right bank of the Weuhsel , which surround the ancient tombs called Mogila Krakusa ; for which purpose a half company of sappers and miners are arrived from Vienna . News has just ar . rived that 500 forage waggons of the Russian army are flying with all speed from Neumarkt to _Mylslo . wice , in the Wadowice district , and that the Slowak drivers reported at Mysluwice that the Russians had been beaten by the . Magyars , who had pursued tbem into Galicia to Neumarkt , and were marching still further .

      The following anecdote is going its rounds in Vienna concerning Bem . Formany years he has had forebodings of his death . He himself has for many years assigned the year 1850 as the term of his existence . During his stay in Paris he o ' nee dined with the North American ambassador . The conversation fell on forebodings ; omens , and the like . The ambassador laughed at them , but Bern declared he firmly believed in them , and related how he had thrice seen , wheii in his 20 th year , his own gravestone , with his natre , and the date 1850 on it .

      Bern received in Transylvania several dangerous wounds . The physician shook his head , but Bern answered it quite calmly by saying he had another year to live . On the ' faith of this vis-ion , Bern exposes himself in battle to the hottest -fire , and declares that the ball which sl » all hit hira mortally will not do so before the year 1850 . There has also been in the south a severely contested fight between the Magyars aud the Servians under Kinezanin at Perlas on the Lower Theiss . Kinezanin is entrenched there at Titel , to , mako himself master ofthe important comer between the Theiss and Danube , i ; The Ban ie still at Sove . Of a whole battalion which the Ban sent from St .

      Thomas to O'Besse , only eleven men returned . The rest fell either in battle or by the cholera , or deserted . If Bern succeeds ; in crossing the _Tbeisslieforc the Russians _ reach Orsowa , then Jellachich ' s . position _, will' become ' extremely . " critical . _Perezsl has been summoned by the government to answer before ' them for . the . conduct of his troops in the Bocksa . On the whole , it will be seen from this account that _rsatters are not quite so bad as at first they niight appear . The Figychncio , at Presburg , publishes , under date of the 5 th , that on the 3 rd ( that is , - thc day af tor the battle of Acs , or O' Szolly , which has been llready reported , ) there took place an obstinate battle before Comorn , in which 1 , 500 of the _Hunffiirians

      fell

      UNITED STATES . CALIFORN IA AND THE CHOLERA . __ Philadelphia , June 27 .-rWe have been enlivened by the publication and perusal of an immense number of letters from San Francisco , in most of which the gold regions are described as teeming with untold wealth , This intelligence , and the large amount of gold dust brought by the Crescent City , have renewed the Californian fever iri all its original furor , and it is not likely for some time to diminish . Digging graves is described as being light work in comparison with the labour of digging for gold in

      California ! So it appears that the way to wealth is strewn with thorns . The diggers are sometimes to their knees in water—sometimes parched and maddened with a broiling sun—anon _shakiag with ' ague or scorched with fever—fig hting with Indians _,, or weak and exhausted for want of food . Such are the accompaniments of success ftt the mines . On returning to San Francisco , gambling , drinking , and exposing produce sad havoc among the reckless many—while the prudent few , who patiently submitted to toil and privation , realise tolerable fortunes .

      But a period—a crisis—is threatened in California . Foreigners , and particularly Mexicans and South Americans , are pouring into Californian , and already they far outnumber the Americans . The latter contend that foreigners have no rig ht whatever to the mines , and that they must be exbelled at all hazards . This threat appears also , * from the tone of our advices , to be mingled with an apprehension of the Spanish . American races attacking the Americans , and endeavouring to secure the entire Fd Dorado for themselves . "Native American Associations" have banded together , all well armed and in process of military training , and at no distant period a collision is expected . Several leading journals apppal to the United States Government to send out a sufficient force to preserve order , and to save California from becoming a scene of carnage , massacre and murder .

      We have other painful intelligence relating to California . Not only have the emigrants across thfr continent been thinned off by cholera—not only have many returned , overcome with fatigue , and appalled with the excessive beat , tbe weariness and tbe dangers of the prairies—but the Indians have assembled in great number . ** , for the purpose of attacking the emigrants who journey through the Rio 3 rande , the Mexican , and portions ot the Texan-. territory . ' From Chihuahua we learn tbat a party had been attacked by Indians , and more than half

      killed . Mr . Thatcher had lost several of his party , and killed twenty-five Mexicans in repulsing an attack . One party ol thirty-five Californian emigrants , and another of twenty-eight , have been actually destroyed by about 500 Indians ; and a magnetic despatch of yesterday , from New Orleans , states that in all , -five hundred emigrants to California have , been killed by the Indians in Mexico . ' At the mines , five Americans and thirty-five Indians fell in a conflict on the 18 th of April . Thus is the gold of California baptised 5 n blood !

      The cholera has committed dreadful ravages in Texas and Mexico . At San Antonio , Texas , 750 People died out of a population of 1 , 500 . At New _Braunfels , Texas , nearly all the inhabitants have repaired to the mountains as a refuge from the pestilence . The cholera is marching rapidly , with fearful and desolating strides . St . Louis , Cincinnati , and New Orleans suffer the greatest amount of mortality in proportion to their , respective populations . Each city averas . es nearly one hundred , deaths per day from cholera .

      We have advices from Oregon , informing us that she legislature of that' territory' brought its session to a ckse on the 16 ih of February . The date may not seem to you to be recent enough for _ne-vs—but such it is , as we do not hear from Oregon more than twice a year ! A shocking accident occurred ft few days since at the Falls of Niagara . M _' ss De Forrest , of Buffalo , accidentally fell into lhe rapid above the cataract , ani was swept over the fearful precipice , together with Mr . Charles C . Addiugton , of Buffalo , who plunged into the torrent , in the vain hope o £ saving her . The forest fires in New Brunswick and Maine have now been raging for weeks , and have destroyed hundreds of thousands of acres of timber .

      CANADA . _Mostbf . al , June 10 . —Yesterday being the anniversary of the memorable battle of "Waterloo it was understood that a grand'inilitary review would take place , but to the astonishment of expectants it was announced that it had been postponed . The _l'O . ISOn assigned was , that the civil government considered it dangerous to leave the city unprotected . It is generally believed that numerous arrests for high treason will be made this week ,

      NEW SOUTH WALES . Wo have received Sydney and Maitland papers to the 24 th of March . They contain full details of a judicial investigation into the circuriistances attendant on the deaths of Mr . Kennedy and his comrades . The expedition left . Sydney in May , 1848 . Mr . Kennedy ' s instructions were to land at Rockingham Bay ,. and proceed thence to Port Albany at Capo York , whore a schooner * _, Yas to be in waiting for him with supplies from Sydney . He was then to return by the western side of the peninsula . The party consisted of thirteen _pei-sons—twelve Europeans and an aboriginal native . They landed at _Itockin-jhani Bay on thc 21 st of May , and

      commenced their journey on the 5 th of June . The country -svas so difficult that on Nov . 10 their camp was pitched only 25 seconds north of the 12 th degree of S . latitude , near Weymouth Bay . Their stores , too , had been improridently expended by the person _, who had boon entrusted , with the care of them on starting . Mr . Kennedy ' determined to leave eight of his party here , and go on with four Europeans and the native to Port Albany , and return with _, supplies . One of the Europeans shot himself , and the other three became so exhausted that at Sholburne Bay Mr . Eennedy was obliged to leave _theni behind also , and push on with Jackey ( the native ) and three horses . By the time they readied Escape-River Mr . Kennedy was so exhausted as scarcely to be able to proceed . They wero here within twelve miles of Port Albany . A numerous party of blacks who had beset and followed them for somo days , hero made an attack upon and killed Mr . Kennedy ,

      and severely wounded his attendant . Jackey contrived to escape their pursuit , and reached Port Albany on the 23 d of December , whoro ho was taken on board the schooner . Tho captain ran down the coast to Sholburno Bay , * no traces were found © f thc three men left there , but articles belonging to them having been found inthe possession of tho blacks , no doubt remains that thoy have perished . The schooner next proceeded to Weymouth Bay , where only two of the eight left behind were found ' alive—Mr . Cavvon the botanist , and William Goddard . These two were in such a state * of exhaustion that it was long doubtful whether they could survive . After receiving them on board the schooner proceeded direct to Sydney , where these facts were elicited b y the judicial ' _lnvestigation _* above alluded to .
