As to ourselves, the list annexe d to this re port will inform your Excellency that, thanks to the superiority of our fire and the impetuosity of our troops, this important success has not been too dearly bought. Fifteen pieces of bronze cannon, besides a gr2at number of guns of very small calibre, have fallen into our hands. The enemy in their flight also left so many flags behind that I merely had them struck down, without thinking it worth while to remove them to my camp. I have the honour to address you by this mail a copy of the General Order, No. 85. Your Excellency will there find the names of the officers and soldiers who distinguished them selves under my eyes in this brilliant action, and whom I have thought proper to mention in the ' Order of the Army.

"The Valley of a Hundred Fires will be one of the most widely read books of the season. In it are to be found some of the pleasantest characters we know of in fiction. Not only is the drawing of good or quaint characters conspicuous —the fl tshes of essay and descriptive writing are lull of poetry and phitisophy."—Litorary. Gazette. Hurst and Illackett, 13, Great Marlborough-street. " Total Defeat of the BoUrbon Army," and " one million three hundred thousand votes in favour of annexation to Sardinia." These are stubborn facts before which even Emperors must bow. Nothing strikes the ordinary man wlio has only a newspaper to supply Lim with facts, and common sense to guide his judgment on them, more than the strange notions which Princes and Ministers, with every light of experience and every artifice of statecraft at their command, continually form respecting the course of events. Take, for instance, the most astute and most successful politician of the Conti nent,—the French Emperor. He has shown him self a consummate master of human affairs, he has thwarted and overthrown a succession of opponents, and those who enter the lists with him must look well to the joints of their armour, nor expose even a crevice to his lance's point. And yet it was this subtle ruler who originated the scheme of an Italian Confederation, with the Pope at its head—a political scheme so impracticable as to have been received at first with incredulity, changing, when the news was confirmed, into auger or derision. Those who look on at the game are proverbially able to see more clearly than the players, and it may be our comparative indifference to the results which makes us free from the clouds which sometimes obscure Imperial perceptions. Evidently the passions of these great personages are so strong as continually to blind them ; they do not know the strength of the stream which bears them and all European affairs in a certain destined course, and against which cabinets and envoys, and even powerful armies, in vain struggle. A. continental autocrat can do much, but it is within certain limits. He may bring prosperity or ruin to the regions over which he rules; he may strengthen or overthrow his own illustrious house; he may keep his neigh bours in alarm, or leave them contented and happy to the arts of peace; but these are only eddies in the great current, and, whether he will or not, the tide which has set in towards the assertion of free- NOTICE. -DID.

The achievements of the 14th of August have fully responded to what the general expected from the expeditionary corps. Thanks to the energy and unity of the attack executed by the allied armies, the entrenched camp of Tang-ho, carried by storm, has fallen into our power, and the enemy, after haring experienced serious losses, has fled in the utmcst disorder, leav ing in our hands 15 pieces of bronze cannon. The vigour of the artillery, the accurate firing of its batteries, gradually advanced by Colonel Bentz man to within 400 metres of the entrenchments, the gallantry with which the troops composing the storming column, commanded by Lieutenant-Colo nel Schmitz, surmounted nll obstacles, merit the highest praise. The General-in-Chief is happy to express all his satisfaction to the army, which has worthily cele brated the eve of the Emperor's fete.

The shopkeeper cried out for help, and a neighbour hurrying in rescued her from the assailant, otherwise she would probably have been killed. The woman Laurent was arrested. The sole reason that she assigns for the attack is that she hated the other. The latter received numerous wounds, but none of them dangerous.

The overwhelming majority in favour of annexation to Sardinia, and the still more overwhelming battalions of Victor Emmanuel, have now settled that point. The Bourbon despot has now little more than the ground he stands on to call his own. As no single will has produced the movement, no single will can arrest it Were even Austria to gain a tem porary success, in a few years the strife must commence again. The seed of liberty has been sown broadcast over the Italian peninsula; it has taken root, and the country is overrun with it. It may be said, with truth, that in no town, even in Venetia, are there to be found a dozen families who do not desire to be joined to the Italian Kingdom, and who would not be ready to drive the last Austrian out of their country. The future of that empire in her dearly-kept province is now easily to be read. It needs no prophetic vision to see the white coats slowly and sullenly marching out of Verona, and abandoning, amid the suppressed excitement of the people, the fortifications lately finished at such enormous cost at Venice. If we see this, we can well imagine that the Czar Alexander and his Minister see it too, and that, refracted and dis torted by all sorts of pedantic mediums, it at last reaches the perceptions of the Prussian Cabinet. In fact, every one can see the hopelessness of a new campaign in Italy, except the provoked and vindictive Sovereign who is longing to undertake it. That Francis J oseph was ready for this mad act there can be little doubt, and that he went to Warsaw to seek fer sympathy, if not help, is equally certain. But how he could have expected the Russian and Prussian Courts to countenance his schemes passes the comprehension of ordinary observers. It is a happy thing for the world that the Northern Powers are more suited for defence than aggression, and do not easily bring their legions to the assault of free States. Of late Rus sia, the most formidable of them, has received a deadly wound, and would hardly step beyond her frontiers to support the most faithful of allies or the most cherished of causes. Austria has done nothing to deserve such a sacrifice, nor are the Bourbon throne and the sovereignty of the Pope institutions which very much attract the Russian people. We say the Russian people, for here is a public opinion in the empire, which of late made itself - felt, which the Czar is inclined to respect, and which his counsellors are too wise to thwart. This opinion has been all along very adverse to Austria. The quarrel between the two empires on the subject of the Turkish war lks really been not so much the doing of statesmen as of society in general. The Russian people, high and low, have resented the supposed perfidy of Vienna, and have worked themselves into an an- tipathy to everything Austrian which is far from ' having subsided. The political philosopher may .draw some encouragement to believe in Russian progress from the fact that the people have learnt to hete as heartily as if they were civilised. Prince Gortschakoff has notoriously made himself conspi cuous in the utterance of anti-Austrian opinions, and, so far as a Russian statesman can consistently do so, he has encouraged the Italian revolution. We fully believe that from the Czar downwards there is not one Russian in a hundred who does not rejoice secretly that Austria should be humbled by the success of her bold and pertinacious enemy. Only the fear that a break up of the Austrian em pire might bring the revolution to its own fron tiers has induced the Czar to accept the proposals fora reconciliation. Policy has got the better of inclination, and if Austria, had been willing to offer a heavy bribe, she might possibly have obtained some halting and ungracious concession to her views. But Francis Joseph, though meditating conquest on the Po, is not forgetful of his interests on the Danube. It has always been the wish of those who, like ourselves, would gladly see a strong and prosperous State in Central Europe, that Austria would look eastward, and, resigning all hope of coercing the Italians, would undertake the task of developing and civilising her Slavic and Rouman provinces. It noy be that the Emperor looks forward to influence in this direction as an indemnity for his losses in Italy, and sees in the treaty of Paris a security for himself not less than for the Sultan. Or the pride of the Hapsburgmay revolt from the indignity of renouncing for his private advantage the stipulations of a treaty not five years old, and which, in some of its parts, was adopted on his own suggestion. Both Austria and Prpssia are understood to have declined acceding to any proposals for the modification of the Treaty of 1856, Gortschakoff and Rechberg having at their first interview, it is said, allowed their zeal to hurry them into some warmth of expression. This result might have been foreseen by any one even moderately acquainted with the state of Europe. It is plain that Russia will not help her ally without driving a hard bargain, and Austria, being free to fight or not, will prefer in activity to success at such a cost. There certainly do remain behind considerations to which we may some day have more particularly to direct attention. The tide of revolution in 1848 broke in vain, as the Emperor Nicholas boasted, on the granite of holy Russia, but it may turn out that the present flood is strong enough to wash away the projections of this solid formation. If current re ports be not wholly incorrect, the Emperor Alexan• der has been much startled by the attitude of the Poles, who on his visit to Warsaw received him with a coolness which he fancied highly significant. Having relaxed much of the strictness of his father's rule, and given the Poles a liberty to which they had been unaccustomed, the Czar, in the regular course of things, might have expected a favourable reception. But the silence of the population has, it seems, only tended to confirm suspicions that were abroad before his visit. That the Poles are unquiet, and that the movement is instigated from support in a powerful quarter, is said to be the be lief of St. Petersburg. Should these suspicions prove correct, the three Princes may draw closer together, but it will, we think, be long before they take the field in such a cause as the Austrian do minion in Italy.—Times, PHILADELPHIA FALL MEETING.—The next race was for the Associated Purse of 500 dole,, mile heats, best two in three, and created a considerable amount of interest, in consequence of there being five horses entered for it, and all starters.

The Moniteur of Saturday published the de spatches addressed to the French Government by General de Montauban, recounting the successes of the Allied Expedition against the Chinese. The Moniteur introduces the despatches to the notice of its readers by the following observations : " Tbe cannon of the Invalides has saluted the news of the brilliant successes obtained by the allied forces in China. The emotion of Paris instantly spread to the very extremities of France, and every one was anxious to know the official details received by the Government. The subjoined despatches, and the orders of the day that accompany them, will satisfy the lively impatience of the country. Written as it were under the fire of the enemy, they are the most worthy homa ge ren d ere d to t h e va l our of the troops of all arms who, under the two allied flags, have made the Celestial Empire com prehend what soldiers it had to meet. In render ing an account of the operations of this war, General de Montauban naturally dwells on those of which he had the direction as commander-in-chief of the French forces; the English Government will doubtless give the same publicity to the reports of its generals ; it is thus that will be completed the recitals of an expedition to which the chiefs and soldiers of the two allied nations have rivalled in reciprocal esteem, valour, and devotedness. " While preparations were being made in France to celebrate the national solemnity of the 15th of August, our troops powerfully contributed, on the 14th, to drive the Tartar army from its positions, and to carry its entrenched camps. At six o'clock in the morning of the following day, the French cannon, to which the English artillery replied, an nounced the Emperor's fete. At half-past nine a mass in music was celebrated in the French camp. At five o'clock, these men, who on the previous day were so ardent on the field of battle, were orgaHis ing foot races by regiments, each man with his arms and six packets of ball cartridge. The fete passed off with as much order as animation ; the bands of the regiments played during divine ser vice, and our allies were able to admire the manner in which a perfectly organised chorus executed the Te Deum and the Domine salvumfac lmperatorenz. In the middle of the camp was erected an altar formed of branches ofshrubs and foliage ; the troops were formed in squares, with the officers in the centre. There is somothing touching in the thought that on that day, so great for the Catholic world, our soldiers, at a distance of 6,000 leagues from the mother country, should repeat the religious songs of their native land, and supplicate God for the glory of France and tie preservation of the Emperor's life. The celebration of mass in the open air, in front of regiments, has in it something grand, which elevates the soul and strongly strikes the imagination. The English, who profess such great respect for the observance of religious duties, must have been struck with the devodon of onr troops and with the imposing simplicity of our ceremonies. " Extra distributions were made to the different French' corps; a last salvo of artillery terminated the Emperor's fete, and our soldiers held themselves in readiness to continue their glorious labours." EXPEDITIONARY CORPS TO CHINA. THE GENERAL COMMANDING-IN-CHIEF THE FRENCH TROOPS IN CHINA TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE MINISTER OF WAR. Head-quarters at Sin-Kho, Aug. 18. , Mousier le Marechal—l have the honour to ad dress you the following account of the operations of the 14th. The allied army, which left Peh-Tang on the 12th, after having repulsed the cavalry of the enemy, and driven their infantry from the en trenched positions which it eccupied round Sin- Kho, installed itself the same evening in the vicinity of this village, which is situated above all the de fences of the left bank of the Peiho. The same day a reconnaissance on a road from Sin-Kho made known to me that there was at about three miles below a large intrenched camp, situated round the village of Tang-Kou, and strongly defended both by , natural obstacles and forces of infantry and artil lery. This camp, which rested on the Peiho, could only be reached by two ways; one, the road followed on the 12th, and of which the sides drowned, so to speak, by lagunes, did not allow any deploying of artillery or infantry ; and the other, which was adopted by the English General in-Chief and my self for our principal and common line of operations, was the left bank of the Peiho itself. This ground was cut by numerous canals, which presented diffi culties to our march, but those difficulties were overcome by the ever zealous and intelligent co operation of the engineers, artillery and pontoneers. It thus became possible to approach near enough to the entrenchments to develop the batteries of the two armies, open an efficacious fire, destroy great part of the defences of the enemy, and send against them the columns of assault, which, supported by the bulk of our forces, were to carry the works. Such was the plan adopted, and in the morning of the 14th the two armies moved in the following order : The English army, supporting its right on the Peiho, descended parallel to thexiver, whilst the two brigades of Generals Jamin and Collineau, in close columns, and at half distance for deploying, marched on its left and on the same line. All the infantry was preceded by artillery, which had on this occasion to engage first in the action; and the artillery was covered and supported, particularly on the left, by an advanced guard of infantry, consisting of a company of engineers, 200 marines, and two companies of riflemen. The ground which we had to go over was less firm than tbet assigned to our allies, but the march of the army nevertheless was not delayed. About eight o'clock the two batteries of four, and the section of rocketmen deploying to the left of the English pieces, opened fire with them at about 1,500 metres (1,640 yards) from the entrenchments. The (precision of the fire, in spite of the very vigo rous, but fortunately ill-directed reply of the enemy, soon produced the effect of allowing Colo nel de Bentzman's column to approach their line by a movement in advance by demi-batteries. The battery of mountain howitzers entered in line as soon as the shortened: distance rendered its fire efficacious. In the meantime our masses of infantry were kept at a distance, and I caused to be executed on our extreme left, on the road indicated above, a diversion by two pieces of four, supported by the 2d battalion of marines. These two pieces were to maintain themselves on a line with the left of the army, and were to destroy the defences situated at the extremity of the road which it was follow ing, that point having been recognised as that to which the column of assault was to proceed. The artillery approached to within 400 metres (437 yards) under a fire which diminished by degrees. Most of the enemy's projectiles passed above is, and fell in empty space in advance of our infantry, which was then deployed in massed bat talions. About nine o'clock the fire of the Chinese was almost extinguished, with the exception of that from some embrasures at their extreme right, which fired on our left. The moment hEid arrived, and after coming to an understanding with General Grant, I, approaching all my infantry by a movement in advance, gave orders to Lieut.-Colonel Schmitz, chief of my ge neral staff, to form the troops of the advanced guard in columns of assault, and at their head to carry the enemy's entrenchments. This superior officer, though at the time rather seriously unwell, acquitted himself of his mission with remarkable energy. The company of engineers, followed by coolies, carrying the ladders, the two companies of debar kation, Commandant Jauregui berry ; th e 7th an d Bth Companies of the 2d bat talion of Chasseurs, Commandant de la Poterie, next reached the edge of the counterscarp, through a rather sharp fire of musketry. Lieut.-Col. Schmitz leaped into the ditch, full of water, followed by Cap tains Chanoine and Guorrier, of the General Staff, and Captains Paillot and Etienne, of the 2d battalion of Foot Chasseurs. He was the first to reach the top of the parapet and plant the national flag there in the sight of the whole army. He called the troop s to him; they rushed into the interior of the i, w or o der. rks, in pursuit of the defenders, uow flying in At the same moment an English cohonn disorder. den tered by another point, and the entrenche d ethe ditch camp r was in our power. A bridge thrown v o soon enabled the other troops t o co m plete the iw theoetche occu pation, and the pursuit, though the numerous canals intersect ing camp in all directions, con ti nued the to l beyond nteri the or f op posite side. At this momen t, a fter conferring with General Grant, we determined to stop. A great number of dea d left on the s p ot where hundred more found in the they had fallen, about a deserted houses of the vi llage, rank who had cut their llage, and the b o di es of se vera l mandarins of hig h throats when their troops took to flight, pro ve d own that the enemy's losses were considerable, and bore witness to the destruction caused by our rifled artil- Lieutenant• Colonel Schmitz, chief of the general staff.—This superior officer, though seriously indis posed, commanded the storming column with remarkable energy.

Head quarters of Sin-Kho, 15th August. Camp of Sin-Ho, Aug. 24. Monsieur le Marechal—l have had the honour of addressing to your Excellency the report on the occupation of the right bank of the Peiho, which was effected on the 18th of August, by the troops of the first brigade (2d battalion of Foot Chasseurs and the Ist battalion of the 101st of the line). On the 20th, General Jamin, by my order, made a reconnaissance for the purpose of examining the defiles in advance of his front. He soon met with works strongly occupied, and was obliged to halt before a fire of heavy artillery. It then appeared evident to me that on both banks it would be im pessible to reach the forts without first carrying a large entrenched camp similar to that of Tang-kon, wh;ch we took on the 14th. From this moment the arrangement of the whole of the Chinese works was well known to me. On each hank, at the mouth of the Peiho, was an enormous fort, commanding the sea and the ap proaches to the stockades; further up was another fort covering the fire of the former, and raking the river; and lastly, for the purpose of protecting the whole line of defences, was a vast entrenched camp situated at the extremity of the mainland and of the lagoons. The position of General Jamin's brigade covered my point of passage, and had the effect of threaten ing the only line which remained to the enemy. In accord with General Sir Hope Grant, I ordered the works of the bridge, which we were construct ing in common, to be expedited as much as possible, but as, in consequence of the breadth of the river, which is i❑ this place 260 yards, some days would be necessary to complete this bridge, it was decided that we should profit by this delay to attack the Nearest fort of Tan g-kou, on the left back. The gunboats of the two fleets were at the same time to cover, with their long range guns, the fire of the fort on the left bank below that which we intended to attack. The English brigade of Sir Robert Napier and that of General Collineau were designated for this operation, which was fixed for the 21st. General Coliineau went to bivouac in the camp of Tang-kou in the evening of the 20th with a com pany of Engineers, the Ist battalion of the 102 d of the Line, and two battalions of Marines. A battery of 12 rifled guns, a detachment of pontoneers under the command of Colonel Grandchamps, and a sec tion of field hospitals were to join him at daybreak. This general immediately placed himself in com munication with General Napier, who had taken a position in advance of Tang-kou, and had sheltered his siege materiel behind an epauhnent. It was decided between them that in the attack of the following day the French troops should oc cupy the right of the English. In the morning of the 21st Collineau's brigade debouched on the field of operations which pass through the swampy grounds extending in advance of Tang-kou. The company of Engineers had pre pared this march by filling up during the night a cutting in the road on the right. At daybreak the enemy's forts opened fire on the English artillery. General Collineau made the following arrange ments :—Two pieces joining their fire to that of the English siege-pieces, were directed against the fort attacked; the four other pieces, placed on the bank of the river, commenced a counter fire on the bat teries of the forts of the right bank, the fire from which took us en d'echarpe. The Ist battalion of the 102 d (Col. O'Malley) and the Ist battalion if Marines (Col. de Vassoigne) were deployed in the rear, and sheltered by a bend in the ground. The 2d battalion of Marines (Com mandant Domenech-Diego) remained in reserve at Tang-kou. Towards seven o'clock a formidable explosion took place in the fort we were attacking. General Collineau immediately caused three companies af the 102 d to advance, who took up a positionfram the behind a little epaulement at about 300 metres counterscarp.

The interva l between two slippery the last two fosses and the foot of the ramparts where_ _ the fire of our artillery h a d not b een able to make a breach, was covered with acoctessory defences of all kinds. B y common a accord, Generals Collineau and Napier sent forward their columns of assault. The li g ht company of the 102 d advanced, whilst coolies, carrying ladders under the direction of a section of Engineers commanded by Captain Bovet, marched towards the counterscarp. The 4th company of the Ist battalion of the 102 d followed close on the light company, and Colonel O'Malley took the command of that column. However, the fire of musketry caused us rather serious losses ; the coolies, of whom several were struck, were unwilling to ad vance, arid a new section of Engineers had to carry forward the ladders abandoned by them. Thanks to the skill and activity of the Engineers and the intrepidity of oufsoldiers, the obstacles were soon surmounted, and the ladders raised against the rampart. On the instant Gen. Collineau sent a supporting column, composed of three companies of infantry of marine. Then occurred one of those a memorable struggles which it is very difficult to describe. On one side, some men of the 102 d and of the marine infantry, mounting the ladd ers one by one, bayonet in hand ; on the other an enemy, fighting desperately with muskets, pits a rrow, and rolling cannon-balls from the fop The French flag was planted on tf."

Commandant Testard, before entering' the fort, was covered with lance wounds and con tusions, besides having been knocked backwards by a cannon ball thrown down on his head. Although leaving to General Collineau the com mand I had entrusted him, I was present through the whole affair, and was able to observe all its details. The sole taking of this first fort was a complete victory, but it was scarcely nine o'clock in the morning, and I had to ascertain if great conse quences could not be derived from the success we bad obtained. I therefore entered the fort to concert with Gen. Grant. At that moment the fire from the right bank, which had so much disqajeted us! in the ce ased morning, had completely and white flags were displayed from all the enemy's works. Bearers of flags of truce presented thems elves, demanding to communicate with the Ambassadors. General Grant and myself told them that at two o'clock precisely, unless complete submission were made, hostilities would recommence. I took advan tage of this delay to give repose to our troops. i I had given orders to Colonel de Bentzman to bring up immediately the two batteries of 4, the second battery of 12, and the section of rocket-men. The 4's were to be directed on the second fort of the left bank, which became the new object of our attack ; the 12's and the rocket-men were to de ploy on the banks of the Peiho in such a way as to attack in counter-battery the great fort on the right bank, the batteries of which could take our columns in flank. At two o'clock precisely Gen. Collineau advanced on the second fort, leaving in reserve the troops which had been engaged in the morning, whilst the artillery deployed kept itself in readiness to open fire. He arrived with his troops at the brink of the fosse without receiving a single shot ; the obstacles were crossed by means of ladders ; the rampart was escaladed ; the marines penetrated by a postern situated on the very bank of the river, and our two columns met in the interior of the fort, pressing between them a garrison of 3,000 men, who had thrown down their arms and seemed plunged in stupor. This second fort, like the first, was armed With formidable artillery, and had on its walls pieces of enormous calibre. This new success gave the measure of the demo ralisation of the enemy. Chef d'escadron Campenon and Capt. de Cools * were at this moment engaged in collecting the means of crossing, and had seized a junk. I ordered them to cross to the right bank with some English officers, charged with a similar mission by General Sir Hope Grant, and to summon the Vieeroy of Petcheli to immediately abandon all the defences of the Peiho. On reaching the opposite shore, these officers at tempted to enter the first fort, but were prevented by a military mandarin, who ordered the draw bridge to be raised before them. At this moment another mandarin, bearing despatches for the allied generals, presented himself to them. These des patches, immediately opened and translated by Mr. Parkes, of the English army, offered to abandon to the allies the forts taken !n the morning, and the opening of the Peiho to the squadrons, but reserving to the Chinese the forts and works on the right bank. These proposals were rejected, and the French and English officers resolved to go and see the Viceroy in his yamoun at Takon. They were well received by him, and a very long conference ensued with the Viceroy, who appeared at first immovable. A r eight in the evening only the Viceroy yielded, and handed to the officers addressed by him to the Commanders in-Chief of the allied armies the act of e,:paulation, in which he gave up all the forts and entrenched camps n the two banks of the Peiho, with all the materiel of war, and left free access to the river. The next morning, at daybreak, this document was in our hands ; but the evening before companies of our marine infantry and some English companies had landed on the right bank, the de fences of which had been evacuated in the utmost disorder by the Tartar troops. In brief, the action of the 21st has made us masters of five forts, two immense fortified camps, an enormous quantity of arms of all kinds, war stores, and 518 cannon of large calibre. In concluding this report, I think it my duty to call your Excellency's particular attention to ' General Collineau, who in the desperate struggle of the 21st displayed the gallantry and energy you know him to possess. I cannot speak too highly of the calmness and military skill with which he directed the operation. This general officer had his right epaulet pierced by a ball during the assault. In fine, from the very outset of this campaign and in the midst of difficulties without parallel in Europe, the troops have always distinguished themselves by their constancy and eagerness for action. The artillery, which had so important part to play, has been what it has shown everywhere. The engineers zealously accomplished the difficult task imposed on them. The servicell for of the field hospitals was above all praise, as itself the care bestowed on the sick in our hospitals, as for the first assistance afforded to the wounded on the field of battle. I annex to this report the wounded, the returns of the cannonitaken in the i t forts, the general order No. lists of killed and of the 21st, and lat the iir e Excellency recoramendations promtion, to or e a address to your relative to the affair which I pray you to call the gracious notice of his Accept, &e., Majesty the Emperor.
