These warnings were unheeded by the brigadier, who continued to advance, and as he did so he was hit by a discharge of grape suddenly poured in upon the advanced guard. The general's horse carried his body madly forward into Lie ranks of the rebels, and it was not recovered till alurtly after, when a charge had disposed of the rebels. No time was lost in attacking. The surmise caused by the gun exploding had hardly time to subside when a squadron of Carabineera, under Captains Forater, Davies, and Beaty, was formed up and charged. The gun was taken. But in rear of it was a deep ditch, full of Ghazees, Maho medan fanatics. The Carabineers went in at them— dropped in amongst them in the ditch, and a hand•to hand conflict ensued. " Forster was at the bottom, but managed to struggle out, when three Ghagees set on hies, and had it not been for a sergear.t-major, who came to his rescue, poor Forster would have been no more." As it was he received severe wounds, and the two other officers, Beatty and Davies, were also hit. All, however, were doing well. The remaining casualties were 11 killed and 12 wounded. The column resumed its march. Sir Cohn Campbell, strengthened by the arrival of this new brigade on the 3rd of May, in advance of Shahjehan• pore, proceeded rapidly towards Bareilly, and on the sth found the enemy at a bridge over the Nukut'ea. The heavy guns were moved up to clear the bridge, and after a few discharges the necessary result was obtained. The rebel artillery was silenced, then captured, and positions taken commanding the entrance into cantonment*. "Our heavy pieces and shells," says an eyewitness, " drove the rebels from one cover to another until they fled in all direc tions. Some of the Wanes came on most pluckily, worthy of a better cause, and met their deaths like men. General Walpole narrowly escaped death. He was attacked by two men, who hacked away at his horse, inflicting a wound which nearly severed three fingers of the general's right hand. The fellows were immediately bayoneted Dr. end 1 mistook a party of the rebel sowers for our men, and just escaped capture, an you see non-combatants get into danger sometimes. Mr. Russell travels in a dhoolie in consequence of a kick from a horse. When the baggage was attacked hie bearers dropped him on the road and ran. 11l as he was, he managed to mount a horse, and unfortunately got a sunstroke, which nearly proved fatal. He is doing well, but requires great and constant attention. We were all exposed tne whole day, and had to bivonnek apprehensive of a night **tack.

Galignani states that a report on all the circum stances of the late duels, drawn up by the public pro secutor of Versailles, has been published. The report gives the following as the paragraph in the Figaro, relative to a ball given by a wealthy foreigner, which led to the duels . A marked progress has been made.

The first act of the drawing rooms, now open for the season, is to get rid of him ; they send him off, as did Sixtus V. his crutches after his election l The report declares this article to be "an unbe coming and dangerous piece of pleasantry addressed t') an entire grade in the army, which is not less dis tinguished by its good conduct than by its bravery," and says that it was " calculated to awaken just sus ceptibilities." The report enters at great length into all the particulars of the duels, as atready known. In reference to the two wounds received by M. de Pene, it states that in the precipitation of the combat, Hyenne, fearing a parry and thrust, and not being fully aware that he had wounded his adversary in the right side, bad instantaneously made a second thrust, to which De Pene, by a sudden change of position, had presented the left side. The report continues : - A scrupulous investigation made respecting these two wounds successively received proves that it was by an ine vitable consequence of the engagement of the adversaries that the two thrusts were given. It adds that flyenne had never been a fencing master. The report declares that as the sewn& of M. de Pene had done everything to prevent the second duel, they must be declared not liable to pro secution : As to the military parties concerned, namely, lifenr e, who indicted the wounds, and Courtiel and Roge, his seconds, the appreciation of their acts does not belong to the ordinary tribunals, for they are sub-lieutenants of the 91h Light Dragoons, on active service, and figure as " prevent " on the muster roll of their regiment, and therefore, according to Art. 56 of the Code of Military .Tustice, they ate subject only to military jurisdiction, and must therefore be placed at the disposal of the military authorities.

The Moniteur also states that the fifth meeting of the Conference engaged with the organization of the- Danubian Principalities was held on Monday, the 14th instant, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is stated that Prince Napoleon will not proceed to Algeria as lieutenant governor of that colony. The Paris Presse complains of the decline of French influence in Germany. It affirms that a general sentiment of aver.'ion towards France pre dominates in Germany, and adds that this feeling is unconnected with political motives. The " die. interested, cosmopolitan, and humanitarian genies of France" hies only, it opines, been temporarily eclipsed in Germany by tho " genius of England." : During more then two centuries (says the Prase), Austria was distinguished by her regard ftr France. Our language, cur customs, our literature, ruled miquestioned. This tended to soften the harshness and the excesses ol the governmental system. In IMO this influence counneneel to wane; but, nevertheless, the Frenchman could stil hold up his head in the streets of Vienna. T• - lay it is sought to extinguish it entirely, and English it Su trice is visibly dethroning that of France. Our wares, t s hooks, our customs hare ceased to obtain preference- in Vienna. The English tutor has replaced in great for:Alit a the French tutor; English litereture has supplanted that of France. The Austria! copit 11 is now utterly given up to everytning English. Doubtless this brutal Anglomania does not please all patties, even in Vienna. Sincere Catholics deplore it in particular ; but their complaints are lost in the mania which has seized upon the Govern ment to which they appeal, for the English alliance cannot be purchased too dearly. .e.

The Senate are ;till occupied with the disou4sion of the visits to American vessels, now popularly known as "British outrages." Mr. Mason, of the Com mittee of Foreign Relations, has issued the expected report. It says that : The continuous and persevering charecter of the sr gressions now brought to the notice of the country, caw mitted by a power with shoal we are at peace, and almost within eight of our shores, is sufficient to arouse the just indignation of the country, and calls, in the opinion of the committee, for the most prompt and efficient measures to arrest at once, and to end finally and fot seer, the com mission of like indignities to our hag. They express an earnest hope that the British 00 vernmept may adopt a cour,e which " will be of's character to satisfy the just demands of this Govera ment, and at the same time to furnish a guarantee against the repetition of the offense. Nothing abort of this, in the opinion of the committee, will he core patible with peaceful relations between the two countries." The report closes with the lollowirig resolutions, which the committee recommend the Senate to adopt : Resolved (Rothe judgment of the Senate)—That Ameri can vessels on the high seas, in time of peace, hearing the American flog, remain wider the jurisdiction f the country to which they belong, and therefore any visitation, molk tation, or detention of such vessels by force, or by the ex hibition of force, on the part of a foreign power, is in dero gation of the sovereignty of the United States. Resolved—That the recent and repeated violations of this immunity committed by vessels of war belonging to the navy of Great Britain in the Gulf of Mexico and the adjacent seas, by firing into, interrupting, and otherwise forcibly detaining thew on their voyage, requires, in the judgment of the Senate, such unequivocal and final dispo anion of the subject by the Governments of Great Britain and the United States touching the rights involved as shall preclude hereafter the occurence of like aggressions. Resolved—That the Senate filly approves the fiction of the Executive in sending a naval force into the infested seas, with orders "to protect all vessels of the United States on the high seas from search ordetention by the vessels of war of any other nation." And it is the opinion of the Senate that, if it become necessary, such additional legislation should be supplied in aid of the executive polar as will make such protection effectual. MrS FRALIA.
