DAut Fruenn,—You writs me that great things are expected from the Caceiatori degli Alpi, and I hope you find already you are not deceived in yo u r expectations. Our battles at Varese, S. Fermo, and Como, must be considered as some of the bast fads d'armie of the campaign of 1869. We were attacked at Varese on the 26th, when We not only repulsed the Austrians, bat pursued them. On the 27th Garibaldi ordered us to march on Como, and we met the enemy strongly fortified at 8. Fermo. The impetuosity of our Cacciatori forced in half an hour their entrenchments, and the Am. Ulan' abandoned all their positions in great hate and dieorder. The Cacciatori pursued them very hotly, and in leas than five hours all the Costa d S. Fermo was entirely ours. It is naturally one o the strongest positions that can be imagined. We were not quite 3,000; and the enemy 10,000, with 200 horsemen and eight pie** of artillery. General Garibaldi was invariably in the places of greatest danger, always within musket .shot, with our brave soldiers fighting and crying " Viva Garibaldi!" He thought constantly of their safety, and never of hie own. Colonel Medici, and all the other colonels, were examples to the brave. All the etat major highly distinguished themselves. Considering the difficul ties, number., and circumstances, the taking of Como must be, in the history of our war of independence, one of the most brilliant and boldest actions. An elderly English gentleman was with us, and fought Übe a lion. He is in the companies of Beresglieri formed at Ivrea, and composed for the greatest part of Genoese. On the other hand, a wealthy English family living at Como, in the house of Marchese Brivio of Milan, wu constantly employed in giving all the informa tion they could to General D'Urban. On the 27th, it has been proved, two gentlemen of that family sup plied the Austrian general with notices that pre vented our splendid victory from producing all the ad vantages we should have derived from it bat for rush an espionage. The indignation of the people was such that the two gentlemen were arrested, and their being shot was universally demanded. Count Visconti, the Piedmontese commissioner, saved their livee, and they were expelled. If they live it is dae not to forgiveness for their crime but to the desire of the government to be generous and friendly to the British. This Austrian Marfichal D'Urban is a ferocious soldier of the school of the famous Haynatt. He shot, with his own hand and a revolver, a poor peasant, Felice Romano, of Rebbio, near Como, 24 years old, without any provocation, and only bemuse he was told the unhappy man was a friend to the Italian cane. Antonio Oalfetti, another peasant, 44 years old, was wounded by a coup de sabre, and by the same D'Urban, while he was at the door of his house with a child eight months old in his arms. There would be no end if I were to tell all the enormities committed by this monster D'Urban. A TIGER STORY.—A letter from Penang, dated February 10, 1859, gives the following singular escape from, but ultimate death by, the attack of a tiger on a catholic missionary on that island, which will be read with painful interest My maps from the tiger," mays the writer, " was truly miraculous, but that of Padre Carlon was Mill more so, as the following details of the attack upon tbet worthy priest will clearly prove. The padre errs on hie way to church, and was immersed in the study of his sermon, when a tiger, to his utter w rite, suddenly rushed out of the jungle, or tall grass; but, as the beast had not memured its distance to a nicety, the padre, walking very qmickly, was more frightr than hurt. The tiger, however, brushed so Blow to the padre that the latter's trousers were torn, the snap of the beast being within a hair's breadth of lie leg. The beam, not content with a single spring, made another charge upon the poor padre, and, r; he had nothing to defend himself but his largo paper umbrella, be suddenly opened it out In th e brute's face, whic h had the effect of cowing it for a time. The tiger, however evidently gamer or more peninacions in hie attacks than' is wont with his tribe, charged the padre at least a &nen tithe, which occupied nearly 20 minute,. In the meantime the padre gradually edged towards a trio in an open epee of ground : and, as there was a large white ants' net between him, and the tiger, round which the latter had to make a slight tour, this enabled the padre to climb the tree and get out of his way. The tiger, on getting round the neat, was at first puzzled at not seeing the padre, bat in a few militate he laid his nom to the ground, and soon scented the whereabouts of his in tended via im. ' The tiger,' raid the padre ' quietly eel down under tee free, and gave a wistful look towards nr, but it fottunately was of no avail.' The native,, at length, hearing the cries of the worthy padre, hastened to the spot, and rendered the easittsnos required. The tiger fled the instant it heard their shouts. The poor padre bunt Into tears, and song the Te Deems in token of gratitude for b's delivery. Padre Citation, however, did not rally long; the flight had too senor en effect on his system, and in about tea days he sank to the no more."

LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 8. We bare this morning decisive news from the seat of war. A great battle was fought and won by the Allies on Saturday lest, the Austrians being not only defeated, but defea•cd with enormous to 20,000 men hors de combs', 7.000 prisoner,, 3 guns, and 2 standards; while the allies, according to the telegraphic despatch of the Emperor of the Fitercu, lost only 3,000 men and 1 gnu. The rival srmics met at Magenta, a small town on the left or Lom bardy tide of the Ticino, about two miles from the bridge of Boffaloramnd about twenty miles from Milan. The &strums, having recrossed in rapid retreat, the river which joins the boundary between Sardinia and Lombardy, endeavou•cd to prevent the Allies from following them, and, thls attempt having failed, they were compelled on Saturday morning to accept battle at Magenta, the result being their complete overthrow, aid the placing of Milan at the mercy of their triumphant adversaries. Within seven days the Allies have thus swept the Austrians from the free roil of Piedmont, which I . they had wantonly invaded, and inflicted upon them within their own territory • loss equal to a cups of the invading *ray. The week that comiassesd with the double victory of the I ling of SMIDINII on the banks of the Buis was closed by this grand triumph of the Allies on the banks of the Ticino. It is impossible for those who , sympathise with the Italian cause not to rejoins at this signal success; bet the feeling it excite* is not one of pure exaltation. The detail of war—the fierce shock of bounding life, and the awful recoil of wounds and agony, of violent and sudden death—are always revolting. And the swift and wholesale destruction it involves necessarily tempers the general rejoicing which this great victory will inspire. If we receive it with gratitude it is became we recognise the necessity of the present war, and rejoice that the righteous cause has so sixedily and completely triumphed. For Austria herself we cannot profess to mourn. She, and she alone, is responsible for all the blood shed in the present war. The heavy wrongs of her Italian rule, which the prin cipal European Cabinets hare recognised, she obsti nately refused to redrew. She first appealed to the sword after insulting the Cabinet of Turin with humiliating demands. She first entered the Pied monts= territory, end, in the fulness of her despotic pride,*outraged the loyalty of the inhabitants with insulting proclamations, and wuted their property with forced and penal contribution,. She Das but paid the natural penalty of provoking a quarrel in an unrighteous cause. She seised the sword to defend a career of Imperial crime; and without in dulging any extravagant views of Divine Fuel deem, ;am we weeder that such a weight of guilt should paralyse her arm 'n the day of battle ? Foe while it is perfectly true that suc cess in itself is no test of right or wrong, there are socce causes so bad that the moral e:ement enters deeply into the struggle and becomes an important instrument of victory or defeat. This is pre-eminently true of the present conflict. The oldest nationality in Europe•—a gallant, brave, ant cultured people, after years of bitter suffering &NI wrong, confronts in arms her imperial oppressor, who is the representative of the most cruel despotism the modern world has ever known. For the sake of justice and:humanity, for the sake of the great principles of national liberty and independence involved in the quarrel, we rejoice in the defeat of Austria. Bet, to want no more such victoria ce defeats; awl if Austria is wile in time, she will withdraw from the unequal conflict. She may even now yield to the victoria, sword of the Allies the just demands she has so low; re;ase 1 to the peaceable voice of in ternatiw►l law and diplomatic remonstrance. We want no more ►loodshed, if the end in view can be obtained w t!-.out it. The campaign already affords a @efficient basis for a new and better attempt to eettle:the:ltalian:qoestion. This great victory place the Allies in a position to ask, what the war was undertaken to secure--the retirement of Austria from Italy. If Austria consents to this act of obvious justice and necessity, she may still save her self from farther loss and Europe from prolonged bloodshed. But if negotiation is attempted it mast be conducted in a frank, honest, and thorough-going manner. There must be no f►lse or illusory settle ment this time. The old sores mast not be left to rankle, and in a few years produce again evils which war alone can remedy. The blood already eked cries aloud from the ground against any shaker', temporary treaty—agaiust any compromise of the quarrel that would practically confess it had been shed in vain. No; the quarrel may be settled, sad ought to be stttled now, at the outset of the cam paign; but if in, it mo,t be decided in a just ad TnE first feeling of every Englishman when he read of the " treaty of offensive end defensive alliance " between France and Russia," was indignation at astounding treachery; his first thought, that the fruits of the Crimean campaign, purchased at so many sacrifices, were in a moment lost, and that we might have to fight the war over again at tremendous odds. The fact is that the proposals made by the French Government to that of Russia—proposals which, aooepted, form the agreement between the two Powers, relate en tirely to the West of Europe, and refer only to this Italian war, limited ea it has been by the disclaimers of the Emperor of the FIENcn, repudiating terri torial and dynastic aggrandisements. Attenuated and slight as the agreement is at best, it would altogether fail were the Emperor of the Flaxen to pursue the grasping policy which is so often ascribed to him. As to the East of Europe, not only were partitions and spoliation' excluded from the agreement or understanding between France and Mimi", but it was expressly notified to the Cabinet of St Petersburg that the policy of France as regards Turkey remained, and must remain, unchanged ; that it was now what it had been in the Crimean war ; and that the alliance with England in which that policy had been manifested subsisted in all its force. Once more, the proposals of France were such u might be made to any Government ready to acknow ledge the fairness of the war which France was preparing against Austria, and desiring to prevent its extension. Accordingly they were made to the English Government before they were made to the Government of and it was only when the English Government had declined to accept them, that France se a matter of defensive precaution sought a limited and conditional support in another quarter. Oar readers will give as credit for not making these statements inconsiderately, or upon any an thlrity short of the highest. They agree with all that hes taken place publicly since the outbreak of war, sod their chief value in our eyes is, that they show that the French Earrnon, while be employs the material forces of France, is under a real responai bility to European public opinion. Russia, a juror in the great Court of Europe, has not found if she ever sought, a purchaser for her vote: She is in a position of freedom, and has more over every motive to scrutinise the acts of the French Eserzzon, and to avert in its development any tendency to trangress the limits of the pr- gramme which that Potentate has laid be fore Europe. We trust also that we shall not be diminishing the security of the country, if we express an opinion that in this basi neu of the agreement with Russia, I.ouis faro. LEON has not forfeited the reputation for fidelity which we were all ascribing to him three years ago. IL was an ill compliment paid to this ementry when he was represented as selling his faith to the CZAR The alliance of England must always be of far more importance to the Emperor of FRANCR than that of any other power. Why should Englishmen be the last in the world to see this? SPECIAL AUSTRIAN MISSION TO ENGLAND.

VOLUNTEER RIFLE CORPS. On Saturday evening a large meeting of the in habitants of Bt. George, Hmover-sqteare, was held at the Hanover &pore rooms, to take into consideration the forma tion of a district rifle corps and to enrol member*. Sir De LA( Y ROANS, - IL P., who occupied the chair, said that be never felt more gratified it his life than by the move ment which we, sow taking place throughout the country fir establishing some means of national defence le the present extraordinary condition of Europe. (Hear, hear.) The first document which was lamed by the government was aot enoonreging or warm se might be desirable, bat the sexed was more satisfactory, and contained a good deal of mead tense. The Met question they would have to deter mine was as to the arm, to le used. He per soma the weapon to be employed would be the same en that used by the government for the great body of the troops, but assistance should be given by the govethinent, both pecuniary and by the lending of arms. (Hear, hear. As to the uniform, it should be of the moat economical kind,) so me to enable the greeted number of pawns possible to assist in this great public and popular movement. (Chews.) All vanity, gaiety, and gold lace would be oat of gees. (KW, hear.) Tho age of eighteen might be a good age to itch with, but there was no reason to restrict the age to 46, he some mat at 60 were physically younger then Wen at 46. Some clerk in the War-office, he suppled, suggested the limitation to 48 years; but he was sure tbe;War-oince, on re presentations being made to It, would act with greater liberality. The supplying of arms and ammunition at fleet cost IMO sot any liberal okthe port of the government, meths that then were 14,000 mounted yeomanry, ootutisting principally of the tenants of landed proprietors, who received 31. a year for their clothing. (Hear, hear.) These 14,000 yeomanry were voted 88,0001., in addition to which they were paid 40,0001. for the days they turned out to exercise during the year. Some persons looked with jealousy on the yeo- manry, and regarded them es the train-bands of the at a tomise. (Hoer, hear.) lie had no such jealousy, Ma he thought the government might extend a ponies of their libe rality to the gnat popular movetneat 'which was now taking place. It seamed as if the govvrement were afraid to entrust the people with arms. (Hear, hem.) This was no piety movement; neither was it a elms movement. All classes from the highest to the lowest ought to be consolidated in this movement. If the government did not show confidence in the people, he was afraid tint rtunate results might ensue. It was generally found true that the more cthtlelence you reposed in persons the Parer you were. He admit'ed that tho present government had gone further in this direction than their pre• decessoes—(therre)--for when he made a proposition of this kind to the late governlrent he was literally and distinctly pooh.poohed. (Hear, tear.) Yet fir the last half-century there had not been a more important or so threatening a con tingency se the present. At the time of the French revolu tion Austria and Freesia interfered to dictate to the French people what government they should have. The enthusiasm of the French people rose against such dictation, they threw back the Myriam, and, having gained victoi ;el, they com menced a career of mavens' conquest. There were not wanting symptoms that great persons and powers were about to commeneo the awe career of policy and conquest, and, however innocent of ambitions views theme gnat pawns might be themselves, they might not be able to restrain their armies or their people if they enter tained any jealousy tr dislike of Maenad. (Hear, hear.) No one could take umbrage or offence at the movement which was now taking piece in this country, for It was purely for defence. (Hear.)
