M. 3‘.......• AIWYBOO. MINI. To•Seisew—lgeniali. so.ss or AAA. licra LONDON. MONDAY, JULY 29. Tat evil genius of the whip has ones more pre vailed. They have had the infatuation to p rop ose a 121. eompeom , se of the Irish franchise, and have already met with their reward in its contemptooas rejection by the exultant leader of the tory opposition. Well may Mr. Utsaezt.t exult, for the tactics of his party have triumphed. Ministers have submitted to be first bullied and then duped : bullied in debate by Lord Srasrev into deserting the 81. rating, on which, as a basis, they had framed and introduced the bill : and duped by Lord ST. 011.31 Alts and the m a t:lions half dozen who affect to hold the of parties in the House of Peers, into making an offer utterly inconsistent with the former. The insolence and abuse by which the first was achieved is too fresh in the minds of men to need repetition. No epithet of scorn was too coarse to stigmattse the religion or condition of the Irish people.To the pass ionate and fanatical utterance of ariatooratio and ecclesiastioslaversion were aided the broad jests and scurrilous extravagance of the noble and learned farceur whom the manager of the com pany seems to keep at call, and whom he publicly scolds and flogs when the half-witted creature makes too free. Instead of rebuking the Weedede and ita policy of their opponents in thus outraging the trellises of a long injured people, or adhering firmly and faithfully to the princi ples of Irish electoral reform which at their in stance the House of Commons by considerable majo- rities had affirmed—ministers In the upper homes condescended to parley, agreed to palter, and finally without explanation of any kind permitted the bill, deformed by a 151. amendment, to be read • third time sub eitentio, and sent back to the Commons so chanted and altered, that it eould hardly be recog nised as the same measure. Under such circumstances, the course open to Lord JoIIN was simple and plain. He might have said to the party optima to him on this as he did on the Post-office question—" Be it so: you shall be taken at your word; the responsibility for what may follow no longer rests with me; you have spurned our advice and the prayer of the people : this bill shall pass into a law : but against the sufficiency of your law I will appeal ere long to the judgment of the nation." Such language would have stirred the popular sense of right and justice to its inmost depths. It would have proved that the advisers of the crown were conscious of the consequences of their past neg lect, whereby Ireland had been left almost without constituencies, and that they would not therefore re ject even a Lords' amended bill. But it would have likewise shown that they were in earnest in propo sing a really liberal franchise, and that they were de ices:need to persist in demanding its enactment. It may be said, why not rather recommend a ye. insertion by the House of Commons of the Sieknes? It is evident, however, that to do so would hare been in other terms to throw away all chime of carrying any bill during the present year. No one could expect the reckless majority of the Peers, backed as they would be by a numerous minority in the Commons, to rescind their recent votes or to accept the re-adjusted measure. We do not blame Lord Joss for not adopting such a *woe. We think he owed it to the Irish people—whose political wants in this respect be had for years suffered to remain unallevistsd, until at length they had grown intolerable; we think he was bound to accept for them any and every conces&on of justice which he could obtain. We repeat, therefore, that in no event do we think he should have deliberately oms tributed to the loss of the bill. Bad as it is, no man can say that even now it does not partially and in particular eases, extend the constituencies, and, full of jealous and unjust exclusion though its provisions be, it may visibly serve as au instrument wherewith to extort something more. What we deprecate and deplore is that so utterly worthless and miserable • compromise of principle should have been offered as that of 12/. instead of 151. for the sake of giving the Trimmers and ShuMers the credit of settling the question, and patching up the quarrel between the two houses. The Trimmers and Shalom are partly whigs and partly tories— that is to say, one-half of each of them le whig and the other half of each of them is tory. When the whip are in power they have a bowing acquaintance with " progress ; ' when the tories are uppermost they are the firmest friends of '• order." In times of uncertainty when no one can tell what change is impending or who may have the key of the imperial pantry during the next fire years,—those worthies are in an excited and very unhappy state, and they are upon such occasions wont to employ themselves one half the day whispering sneers at the Ins to the Oats, and at the Oats to the Ina—while the remainder in spent in ostentatious endetvours to reconcile both by seducing each to belie a portion of their respective principles. And the marvellous part of the thing is that although the folly and falsity of all their manceavres forms a theme of incessant mirth with those who alike despise them, they still contrive to weary and worry persons who ought to know better into taking their idiot counsel and consenting to row in their crazy boat. Both in the Commons and in the Lords there were mutterings beard of a 121. amend ment when the Franchise Bill was in prams's; but in neither house could the Trimness screw up their moorage to make the proposal. The reason is obvious. They saw very clearly that they would have found no real support, and that a division would only have made their ridiculous weakness plain. They there fore shrunk from trying fairly their shabby notion at the legitimate time; but now, when ministers are to be led into a snare, they are all eager and eloquent, full of "regrets that their advice was not earlier fol lowed," bat at any hazards resolved " that they will save the country . Nun tali ausilio, nee defensaribus istie. As far u the balance of parties is oonoerned it eiguirles little or nothing whether the bill is passed with a 121. or a 15/. clause. The difference in most of the county constituencies would be of no practical moment. Whig and Tory familiar would retain by either their present predominance undisturbed ; and hence the unworthy willingness to try the proposed expedient for cushioning the real question. That question, however, remains, and will yet extort an answer very different from that which it may now receive. Are the people to name their own repre sentatives in parliament? That is the citation which this miserable compromise vainly tries to evade. We hope that the true friends of popular rights will unanimously abstain from being se to the threatened proceeding. Let the itary factions es tz ias settle it among them 111 please. 'Ti. no a ff a i r o f ours. The feeling of ha s a l rea d y b een ex pressed by the organs of popular party in Ireland at the notion of a compromise; and nothing could tend more effectually to alienate the advocates of general and comprehensive reform on the two irides of the Channel than to find the principle of the franchise with regard to Ireland made the subject of • chaffering bargain in conferenos between the two losses. Details may admit of degree and adaptatioet; but principle cannot be so dealt with, and we trust that few who sincerely wish for a united party in revue of constitutional purees will make the ads take of acting se if they imagined it possible.

They are " like June's mane linked eed inseparable." • The Stowmarket gathering was lathed forward to with great expectation amongst the' protect*** circles. It was amildeatly reported that there Mr. YOUNG, rousing himself froakkO wasted placid said; was to make minus-meat of his newspaper eassilants. Intense was the disappointment. Mr. Yonne tried to soar, but, as Baku has it, he " rowed an it were any nightingale." He was, indeed, ill-natured enough to speak of "the untruths of the airorsick bet when he tome to the Daily News he could find ao harder words in his wallet than " vulgar abuse r sad u for the Bores old flirtations recurred to his mind as the same dropped from his tongue, and he weld only sumac something about its sneer." It was charainerktie of Mr. Youre, that moor all the sharps whisk bare gravely or laughingly been advanced against him, there was Italy one that he dusted worthy el ea elaborate ref/natio& Mr. Yonne stands upon his gentility. Some ill-natured puma, or person., have asserted that Lewd STANLEY lass kept r. Yonne at arm's length, that the noble lord has three several times refused to see the ship. owner at his house. This imputation has toadied Mr. YOUNG to the quick, and a good part of his Suffolk oration was devoted to dis prove it. *lt is totally and utterly untrue; it bar not the shadow of a foundation." On the very last occasion that Mr. Yonne " had the honour of com municating" with Lord STANLEY, he " had the grati fication of receiving an arouranee that he had only at any time to present himself at his door, and admission and a cordial reception would await him." Where upon Mr. YOUNG burst out into an "Io Poen " on his own felicity in having earned such civility from a lord. He told his auditors with exultation that " he; had by the undeviating pursuit of the principle of protection at all times been !actuate enough to secure the courtesy of those with whom be has been drawn into communication, as also from that noble lord." Mr. Yonne admits that his protectionist tabours have been toilsome and fatiguing, but the r" courtesy " which they have procured him from lords overpays all his &serums. As hfr. YOUNG attributes so much importance to this matter, it could have been wished that he had made out his case a little more clearly. He has proved, indeed, an far as his own single testimony can go, that Lord STANLEY promised that whenever he called in future he should be let in, bat he has not poitively averred that be was so admitted io time put. Besides, a free admission to Lord STAN LEY'S house when he calls on the business of the Na tional Association is no more than would be conceded by the noble lord to his boot.maker, if he called pro fessionally to" take the measure of his foot," which he pro fit ably thought was the main purpose of Mr. Yotnco s call. Mr. Your° must not expect us to credit that his labours have won for him the affability and companionship of the great— his one ambition upon earth until he can prove that his limbs have repostd beneath the shade of Lord Sranutv's mahogany tree. Mr. YOUNG ought to thank us for this hint, as it may sup ply him with matter for a speech at the next protec tionist meeting he holds forth to. _ _ Mr. OEORGi Yovso is the Jemmy jessamy of protection; Mr. FERBAND is its Captain Pepperea. Mr. YOUNG lime daintily about the lords who have deigned to speak to him; Mr. FERRAND deals in ruffian roaring and downright mendacity. When Mr. FERRAND indeed, in the confusion of his ideas, calls a petition to repeal the duty on starch a petition for protection to the British starch maker, charity compels us to assume that this is mere stupidity. But when he states that the League paid Mr. COBDEN and Mr. Batonr three guinea. a day for iti agitation, he deliberately asserts what be knows to be untrue. When Mr. FEW/LAND represenhe a "copyright design bill," meant to protect inventors against those who would nu their inventions without paying for them—a mere guarding of the right of property—as equivale .t to protection in the sense of those who would prohibit foreign from competing with domestic inventors in the market, this may be sheer dullness and incapacity to understand. So when he represents the anxie y of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce to increase the number of markets whence a supply of cotton may be drawn as a movement antagonistic to free trade. But when be exultingly proclaims that in the manufacturing districts " the English operatives will fight against the Irish labourers," will "point to them a. the curse of Man chester," and will drive them back to Ireland, it is sheer ruffianism and provocation to violence and outrage. To remonstrate or argue with Mr. Yenta/co would be time and labour thrown away. While bawlieg forth his mendacious and stupid rxhortatione to brute force he is doing all that he was made capable to do. The restless instinct of mischief within him defies check or restraint. Still he has his nee : he betrays the animal which his more specious colleagues have tact enough to conceal. The uneducated pea. sentry who are hounded out by their iandlords to these protectionist gatherings, who are only capable of " inexplicable dumb show and noise," cannot dis cern the untruths and the confusion of ideas which pervade Mr. FeaRAND's harangues. They admire him more, and cheer him more lustily than the other speakers, on the same principle that, at a stage play they would admire most the greatest ranter among the actors. Bot the lords and geatlemen and clergy men who employ Mr. FERRAND to roar for the delight and astonishment of these unfortunate and ignorant men know better. Their own good taste revolts at his coarseness; they have sufficient know ledge to detect his tripping. in point of fact, and sufficient intelligence to see through his blundering confusion of ideas. And yet they me him to mislead the untaught multitude. They, in fact, are guilty of all his misrepresentations and all hii excitements to violence. At their hands the country will demand redress for any mischief he may be able to do. The disgrace of his ruffianism will cling indelibly to them. It is curious to note the instinct with which oar tory haters and dreaders of • frees press and public discussion, when driven by necessity to avail themselves of the services of either, always prefer its abuse to its me. The men who, in the days of the Regent, clamoured against the lien flouriness of the peer were the very men who estab lished and supported the John Bull, which, under its original management, was notorious for Its gross licentiousness—which no modest woman could read. And now that the survivors of the same faction have been unearthed, and compelled to have recourse to public meeting., they imitate not the earnest, rational and respectable reformers, but the O'CoNtroas, OASTLERS, and RATNER &EPHESUS. It is with the inventors of torch-light meetings, and with him who promised y to teach factory children bow th e y m i g ht machinery with a needle, that they have gone to school. The RENDLESHAMs and the YOUNGS may protest that there is nothing of this sort to be found in their orations, but this shallow pretext will not avail them so long as they are found putting for ward declaimers like Mr. Pullin), and listening with simpering equanimity to his bluster.

" Such is the language of the Moniteur du Soir of last night, after the universal reprobation which the articles read by M. Dupont de Brim= drew yesterday from the house. The nanos complained of becomes more offensive than ever. The exclusive privilege of saki is ex tended by the cabinet to a newspaper which systema tically risotto the supra"e source of authority, while the whole liberal press is note:dieted en maws. Such was the sensation produced yesterday by the Brat speech of Baroche, in which be refused to inter dict the Moult-eta du Soir from street male, that seve ral foreign envoys sent off immediately special couriers to notify to their governments the official declaration of war between the executive and legislative. M. de Larootejacqoelin was to have moved au order of the day mofice in this form : the Assembly disdaining anonymous insults, and wishing not to place the President of the Republic in an unconstitu tional pos i t ion passes to the order of the day. To-day the Assembly entered upon the discussion of the budget of war. The only incident which de serves mention arose upon a motion by M. Charms for the reduction of the salary of General Changer nier, as commander-in-chief of the ►rmy of Paris. The mover said that the commander-in-chief had been provided with a higher position than that of the minister of war. Ile alluded to the continual dis putes which were arising between General Changarnier and General d'ilautpoul. He quoted an order of the day read to the army of Paris by the orders of General Changarnier, from which it appeared that a colonel bad been put under arrest for having sent directly to the Minister of War some information which bad been demanded of him, without transmitting it through the channel of the commander-in•chief. Ge neral d'llautpoul opposed the reuction amid the applan•e of the Right. He said that he knew hi■ duties u minister, and felt satisfied that General Changarnier was equally aware of those which be longed to his poeiuon. The redaction was rejected. The chapter relating to the remounting of the gen darmerie was then diicessed. The Assembly adopted, after a long debate, the amendment of General Lantoriciere, moving an aug mentation of 46,000 f. for remounting the gendarmerie with Preach heroes. The commission nominated by the Minister of Com merce to examine the question of the herring fishing in the Northern Sea has decided theta sub-commission, consisting of some of its members, shall proceed to the coasts of England and Scotland, to ascertain whe ther French fishing-boats can or cannot fish for her rings. The French fishermen pretend that herrings are only tobe found within three miles of the coast, which ts the limit reserved to English fishermen by the treaty with France. On its return the sub-com mission will viiit the ports of Calais, Boulogne, Dieppe, St. Valery, and Ficamp, to collect informa tion. In the rivalry between British and Austrian com mercial policy in Italy, the government press at Turin takes the part of Ergland; and it is said that a commercial treaty is on the point of being con cluded between the English and Sardinian govern ments. Yeeterd: y u the president of the republic drove to and from the theatre of the Ambigu Comique, where he witnessed the representation of " Le ltoi de Rome," he was anoompanied by loud and general cries of "Five la republique !" 200 invalids had been invited and a hundred veterans of the imperial army clothed in the uniform of that time eat in the pit of the theatre. The President is going to take up his residatee at the Little Trianon towards the end of the month. Some family parties will take place in consequence of the recent marriage of Mdlle. Caroline Murat.. Rumours are current that General Memo, who is regarded u the rival of Changarnier, is about to be raised to an important post. The representatives are going to have two grand banquets before the prorogation. The majority dine at the park of Avnierev, and the M,untain at Cha teaurouge. Suitable toasts will be given at both tables. A new and sumptuouiparliamentary club has been just opened at the corner of the Rue Chaussee d'Antin and the Boulevard. Not only the isolated forts about Paris are filled with troops, bat the 10 maison a porta constructed in the continuous line of fortification are also full. More unfavourable accounts are received of the health of Louis Philippe. Since his departure from St. Leonard's his complaint seems to have returned upon him. Several Americans astonish the natives here by sporting green and violet hate. This morning i aplacard contained the announcement re that ladies were request for California.

The Assembles Nationale has greatly abated of its hostile tone against the President. It seems to be agreed among the moderates that some allowance was to be made for the press of the Elysee in the face of the composition of the committee of permanence. On the other hand, the opposition press, legitimist:and demo cratic, open a sharper fire on the executive. The Moniteur du Soir last night was very quiet. This lends some colour to the report that Bench* had sent for the editor Moutferrier to give him a hint on this subject. The Monism,- contains an important decree relating to the quarantine against cholera. Vessels arriving from ',countries where cholera prevails may be sub jected, in the ports of the Mediterranean, to a quaran tine of observation of three days at least, and five days at most. If during the quarantine no case of cholera shows itself, the vessels shall be admitted W free pratique. If the contrary occurs, the quarantine of observation may be prolonged for five days more, reckoned from the attack of cholera on the last t. patien Another decree transfers the functions of the sani tary.intendance at Marseilles to a government com mission, in consequence of that body having subjected vessels to an arbitrary quarantine without consulting the government. A third decree appoints Dr. Meier sanitary com missioner at Marseilles. MM. Leon Faucher and Piseatory espoused the part of the President in the late conflict with the Assembly. The motion of M. Cretan relative to the sale of journals will be conceived in these terms All journals may be sold publicly; the municipal authority shall be charged with the settlement of the conditions of this sale with respect to the reqsisition of order in the public streets ; the authorisation of sale shall be with drawn from journals in ease of condemnation ti,r all the time which the sentence pronounced against them will last.

The ft are assigned to this department forms the most considerable chirp on the resources of the state, and amounts to 307 millieee. With this sum en army of 374,000 men and 33,000 horses may bemain tained. The debate was signalised by an attack from Cieneral Grummet upon the army of Parte, which be pronounced a wasteful and unnecessary burthen. The chief result of the sitting was the adoption of an amendment obliging the gendarmerie end republican guard to remount themselves with French horses. Thin was opposed be the government and committee, on the grounds that France could not furnish horses of the airs and power requisite, and that, as the gen darme is responsible for his horse, he ought to be al lowed entire liberty in the selection. - These argu ments were taken off by at neral Lamoriciere, and the amendment passed. The gendarmerie require about 1,200 fresh horses yearly. ' The council of arrondissement of Bergerac has expressed the wish that the Assembly should, after the prorogation, decide on the prompt revision of the constitution. Several persons charg-d with being connected with the secret club Le Nemesis, who had been arrested during the night, were conveyed to the Concitrgerie yesterday morning. M. Aristide Olivier, son ot Be mostbene Olivier, the constituent, is also said to have been put under arrest as a member of a secret society. Since the arrest of the members of the Nemesis, an inquiry his taken place; and, in consequence of the reports which have reached the prefecture, several domiciliary visits have been made to different houses in the Fauboargs St. Jacques, du Temple, and St. Martin. It is positively sta ted that, in a recent search which took p:ace in the last-named faubourg, the police discovered, in the house of a working jew eller a great number of medals bearing the effigy of the republic; a Tway of decorations of the Legion of Honour, different from those now in use; the effigy of Henry Iv. or of Napoleon being replaced by that of Liberty. Instead of the motto " Honneur et Petrie," are the words " Libarte, Egalite, Fraternite," and " Au Patriotiame" replaces the two flags or the three fleure-de-lys of the Restoration. A bank for discounting bills, gusranteed by deposits of r.ilway bonds or shares, is to be opened to-mor row at the Peals National, by a private company.

THE LEVANT. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. GREAT BATTLE BETWEEN THE DANES AND SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEINERS. The Schleswirifobiteinere have been completely defeated in a eanguinary engagement, which took place at Idstedt, one of the advanced positions of Osmond von Willisen. The battle, which was fought on the 25th, was preceded by a slight affair, of which accounts have already been given. In this Scat encounter the Dear s had assumed the offensive. They made their appear 'since on the 24th, on two different sides, to moo ' noitre the Holstein position, and, if possible, to make a combined attack upon their central ad vanced position at Jiibeek, shoat Hee English miles from the town of Schleswig to the west, and situate on the main road from there to Has sum, 0 4 the left bank of the small river Trees. The Danes commenced with an attack upon the Holstein outposts at Helligbeck and Ltabasch, which they succeeded in forcing with a superior number of men. The Holstein troops, however, having received reinforcements, returned with re-animated spirits, and drove the Danes back upon the position which they bad occupied before at Stendrup, and thus the skirmish ended, with considerable logs on both sides. The Danes had a couple of brigades under fire, bet, in consequence of the ground being rather unfavour able for artillery, they could not bring any of their field pieces into play, while the Holstein troops had one 12-pounder battery, from which they could throw shells with great effect. On the left the Danes advanced from the western side upon the . position of Jiibeck, and with three battalions of infantry suoceeded in forcing the passage of the Treen, near Sallibro, which was de tented by one battalion of Holstein sager. with great determination, when late in the afternoon General Willisen in person made his appearance at the h'ad of some fresh temps, and forced the Danes to relin quish the position, which he retook himself at the bead of his men in the most gallant manner. Night fell upon the combatants, with the loss of about 150 men on the part of the lloleteiners in killed and wounded, including a couple of officers, Captains Bedew and Abdo. In both actions the Danes could not use their artillery with advantage, which accounts for the little loss on the part of the Holsteiners, compared with what the Danes are said to have suf fered—a report upon which very little reliance can be placed. The fight wu resumed at daybreak on the morning of the 25th. General Willisen commanded the cer.tre, the Prussian General, van der Horst, commanded the left wing, and C duel voa der Tann, late aide-de-camp of ti e King of Bavaria, cammanded the right wind, the artillery bavicg at its head the Hanovrian Colonel von Wiese!. At ten o'clock the corps of von der Tann, being earth(' off by the ardour of its commander, was cut off in i's first attack by a superior body of the Danes, and never succeeded in rejoining the main body under Willisen. His fate up to the latest mo ment was unknown. Weakened by the lose of its left wing, the army of William was vigorously attacked in the centre by the advancing Danes, who, bringing forward all their ar tillery, succeeded, by 4 o'cl,ck in the afternoon, in completely overthrowing the Schleswig-Holsteiners. The tnelie and carnage are described as frightful. The rage showa on both sides by the combatants being most violent. General Williaen sought after his defeat to rally under the walls of Schleswig, but, pursued by the vic torious enemy, he was unable to makc good that po sition, which was occupied by the Danes, and the Schleswig Holstein army took refuge under the walls of Sehestedt, between E:kernforde and Rendsburg, and on the Eider. The force osid to remain with WilSeen, at Sehestedt, on the 26th, was 26,000 men. This amount must be exaggerated, inasmuch as it does cot contain any of the left wing under Von der Tann, of whom no accounts are to be had. The following is from our own correspondent HAMBURGH, Jrr.r 24. General Willisen has been defeated, and has retired with hie army towarde Rendeburg, but in good order and without further lose. Both sides fought with great coolness std determination. The Schleswig- Holsteiners twice repelled the attacks of a very much greater force, and were finally compelled to retire solely in consequence of the enormous disparity of force. The numerical superiority of the Dines was the more effectual because totally unexpected. ledeed when they advanced for the third and successful at tack, notwithstanding their numbers, it was generally felt that they would again be repulsed, and if my eyesight did not deceive me preparations were made beforehand to advance against them with the whole force. The Danes have maintained the secrecy of their preparations but too successfully ; had General Willisen been better informed, it is probable that the whole nature of the engagement would have been changed. It is useless, however, now to speculate on probabilities. The battle has been fought, and General Willisen has been compelled to retire with his army. He has not, however, marched to Rendeburg, as was intimated yesterday. I am informed that he is con centrating his troops at Sebestedt, a village about eight miles to the eastward of Rendeburt, protected in front by the Witten Sea, and on the right by large woods, which render the approach of a large force from tl.e right impossible. Immediately behind Seheatedt runs the canal which passes Rendeburg, and connects the Baltic with the Eider, and thus secures his road into Rendeburg. The train from ltendsbnrg, which arrives here in an hoar or two, will bring further particulars, both with regard to the position of the whole army and the losses experienced yesterday. Yesterday was the first occasion on which I have seen the encounter of hostile armies, with all the ad juncts of modern warfare, of the real nature of which until then I was entirely ignorant. The heavy rain and mists which fell from 3 to 8 o'clock in the morn ing prevented a thorough view of the scene of action, but the general movements on both sides, and their intentions, were tolerably apparent. Having arrived somewhat late on the ground, I saw first of all that the swarm of tirailleure on all sides of the Schleswig- Holstein position, having previously advanced very elope to that of their enemy, were gradually withdraw ing before the superior numbers of a Danish body of the same kind. Toe sharp, smart, irregular firing of the Titles and the whistling of the ballets through the air was then taken up by the more re gular peloton fire of the infantry, which proved un successful in checking the further advance of the Danes, who progressed steadily forward, until they approached very close to the Idstedt position in the centre, and the chief bodies on the wings. Artillery wee then brought into play, the deafening roar of which and the rushing, whizzing noise of whose iron messengers made quite a different impression both on the ears of an inexperienced newspaper corresponds at and the progress of the advancing Danes. Their movement was changed ; they retreated, followed at first by cavalry at the charge. The cavalry, however, had but slight effect, as they were not in enffieient force. The riflemen and infantry again advanced, and hastened the steps of the Danish troops, until they in their turn reached their position, and, supported by their heavier artillery, compelled the Schleswig Helsteiners to retire. Twice was this scene renewed, each time with greater loss on either side, while to the east and west burning houses and villages added increasing sternness and grandeur. On the second oc casion, while the Danes were advancing, a Danish bomb struck an ammunition waggon within three hundred yards of my position ; it instantly exploded with a tremendous noise, killing two men and wounding several others. During each advance upon the Dimon, the wounded men lying in all directions were carefully collected and carried behind the linos in wsg,zons at the seat of the medical staff; where they were temporarily attended to, and thence trans ported to Schleswig. Friends and foes were all treated alike ; no distinction was made. Prisoners, too, began to make their appearan ce , brought in twos and three; and sometimes iel•numbers. One de tachment brought in upwards of thirty at one t iros. Them was indeed much to observe and comment upon, but similar scenes are unhappily too frequent in history to require repetition here. While watching them however the Danes commenced their third attack, previous to which it became apparent that they ware drawing up in line a much larger force of infantry, cavalry, and artillery than had hitherto been seen on their side. After a short pause on their side, broken only by the riflemen between the two line s , their artilli ry moved into position, and the conflict became at cues most severe and sanguinary. General William brought op every available man to resist the great danger ; bat as the position which I had oc cupied until then, together with other spectators, became dangerous, we retired a short dim ah farther behind, not a little startled by the sadclo"ia appesrance of a Dsn:sh cannon-101 l which lowenta our retreat, and entirely upset the equanimity elm of as. ne Fur two hours the cannonading continued, t expiration of that p er i o d orders arrived for th e t i e. treat of the train and baggage-weggou r , a n d, weie that several small b o di es of so l diers were also n e ,,J . ing from the field, followed b y l arger bodice in re.

Despatchee of the 25th inst., from Marseilles, give the following news : —The draft of convention des tined to close the difference between the English and Greek governments was signed at Athens on the 18th of July, in presence of the representative of France. The Greek government accepted it with alacrity. TIIERAPIA, Juty 15. The Turkish agoadene, which was seen on the Sth inst. clearing oat of the Archipelago, and making south, is bound for Bosnia, in coneeqcence of the troubles which have broken out there. GERMANY. PRUSSIA. Letters from Fiorito, of the 24th instant, state that the official answer of Austria to the Prussian despatch of the 2nd instant, is which the proposal of referring the question of a definitive central power to a con ference to be held at Frankfort was conveyed, has been received in Berlin this day. The proposal is mildly bat positively declined. The contents of the despatch are not further known. The " mild form" in which the answer is couched gives room to conjec ture that those extreme risolauons lately attributed Ito Austria have not been finally taken. The Austrian protest against the march of Radish troops into Pruaia has only reached the ministry to- day. Austria asserts that Prussia has by that pro ceeding diaorganised the eighth army corps of the, confederation. The answer will probably be that Prussia is at presort occupied with the re-organiza tion of that corps. It is said that another com plaint is made is the protest. The Badish military authorities it appears have offended against one of the laws of the federal army which requires a certain notice to be given of all movements of troops. Austria is expected to place obstacles to the march of the remaining troops, which stand in readiness to depart from Prussia. The 'Berlin cabinet has, according to report, proposed to Austria two modes of a collective ratification of the I lately concluded treaty: either the central commis sion shall ratify, or the same body shall transfer to the King of Prussia its power for that purpose in the present instance. Nearly all the Union states have ratified. Great irritation prevails against Count Eulenberg, Prussian commissioner in Schleswig- Holstein. The Danes, it appears, had taken the ready money destined for the maintenance of the neutral troops in the Duchies out of the treasury, and replaced it by paper. The amount was about 300,000 marks. The notes are payable at the Copenhagen Bank, but only on the application of the former commissioners for governing the Duchies, or of their authorised agent. AUSTRIA. The decree organising the administration of justice in Transylvania appeared at Vienna on the e3rd. Two hundred and nine condemned Hungarians have been pardoned by the Emperor. SAXONY. On the retirement of the king after opening the Chambers on the 23rd inst., the Second Chamber pro ceeded to buiness, fifty-two members being present. The President announced among other matters that several of the members present had given notice of their intention to bring on the question of the compe tency of the resuscitated parliament to transact any legislative business before any other matter should be proceeded with. He then proposed to refer this question to a committee, to be immediately appointed, which should report on the same. The proposition was carried with only one dissentient voice. RANO% Rit. The concluding sitting of the chambers was held on the evening of the 23rd. M. Lang, a financial counciUor, concluded a warm speech on the Schleswig question with the exclamation, ' Germany and Han over ezpoct that this government will lend, at lout, • moral support to the brave Sobleswig-Holeteineri. Vivat Schleswig-Holstein." The chamber took up the latter cheer and repeated it several times. The message of prorogation WIWI then read thanking the members for their industry and zeal.
