Smith O'Brien established the head-quarters at Killeash on the side of Slievenamon early this morn ing. He had from 3,000 to 4,000 followers. The Lord-Lieutenant has issued a proclamation cautioning all persons against harbouring the rebel leaders or aiding their escape under the penalty of high treason. Lord Hardinge has arrived, and is consulting with the military authorities. Dr. Kane was arrested in Kilkenny, yesterday. It is stated that Richard O'Gorman has been shot dead at Tarbert. BRISTOL, 'WEDNESDAY, EIGHT, A.M. By the Rose steamer, Captain Burgess, which left Waterford at nine o'clock yesterday morning, we learn that that city was in a state of perfect tranquil lity. The general opinion was that Mr. Meagher has left the country. The express which arrived from Cork as the Rose left Waterford brought intelligence that all was quiet there. No apprehensions of a rebellion are now enter- Aained. No arms have been brought in under the recent enactment, and but very few stands of pikes had been found. The 3d Regiment of I3uffs had arrived at Waterford. The following extracts from the Dublin Evening Post hare been transmitted by the Electric Telegraph Company : " DUBLIN, FOUR. O'CLOCK, P.M. " The inland mails by the Great Southern and Western Railway have arrived, and report all tranquil. "It is stated that Smith O'Brienhas fled from the colliery districts of Tipperary, and had arrived at Woodward, on his way to New Quay, a little sea port village in the county of Galway. " One letter informs us that the peasantry were returning towards Thurles, and resuming their work." The accounts from Ireland this day fully confirm the former intelligence of the decisive results of the victory obtained by a few policemen over the rebel force, amounting, probably, to one hundred times their number. It is impossible to overestimate the zeal and activity displayed by Mr. BLAKE, the county inspector, in making his arrangements for the attack on the rebel encampment, or the gallantry and de termination evinced by Mr. TRANT and his fifty brave associates, who sustained the burden of the contest. Two other gentlemen appear also deserting of favourable mention—Mr. Cox, a sub-inspector, who was approaching with nineteen men from Cashel, when he encountered an immense body of insurgents retreating from Boulagh-common. Their leader, a black-coat boy—(su termed to distinguish him from the general mass of the frieze-coated population)—attempted to cheer 0 1 : his ass oc i a t e s to the attack, but the gallant little nd unintimidated by the extraordinary disparity of numbers, having fired a volley, which killed the chief and wounded several o f his as s o c i a tes, the party dispersed, and sought safety in flight. Sub-Inspector MoNAGIL& was approaching by another road, bring ing with him 90 of the constabulary, who, the moment they heard the firing, dashed forward with the utmost enthusiasm to the rescue of their comrades. Nothing during the ntire transaction is admirable more gratifying th an the ved manner in behaved which the police i nvar i a b ly upon every occasion, when their servi ces were called into r equ i. sition. From the sergeant at Mullin a h and his troop of seven men , three of them enfeebled y recent illness, who refused to surrender theirarms, to the ne b mo re brilliant exploits of Mr. Tai and the same gallantry , dev otion, and fi xed determination efficiently efficiently to discharge the dut y entr usted to their o bands has been exhibited. How utterly unfounded were the assertions of the agitators when they i n . ' sisted that considerable disaffection existed in the force, and that they would be prepared to take an active part with the people the moment the standard of insurr action was unfurled. We trust that adequate rewards may immediately be granted by the Go vernment to all those who have more particulary dis tinguished themselves, and these rewards should not be limited to the officers, but should be extended to all who have participated in the contest. It now appears that the loss of the insurgents amounted to ten or eleven persons, either killed or mortally wounded, and that many others, perhaps from SO to 40, have received minor wounds. It is, however, impossible to say with any degree of cer tainty that there was not a greater amount of casual ties, inasmuch as many of the wounded were removed by their companions, and are now lying hid in the vici nity, where the coal-pits afford great facilities for concealment. A strict search will take place for those who appeared in arms against their SOVEREIGN, and more especially for the ringleaders whe insti gated the misguided men to so ruinous a course. An efficient military force, under the command of General MCDONALD, has now encamped in the neighbour hood of Boulagh, the head-quarters are at Ballin garry, only one mile from the field of battle, and such measures have been taken for the capture of such of the leaders as may be lurking about the country, as to render it impossible that they can long succeed in evading justice. While matters are thus proceeding in the disturbed districts, no less activity is displayed in the metro polis. Ten persons, employed as assistants in the establishment of Messrs. Plat and Co., have been arrested, and on some of them regular commis sions duly appointing the holder to the rank of cap tain in the rebel army, were discovered. It is now known that many such appointments had been made. It had been decided that when the harvest was gathered in the outbreak should take place. In fact, the preparations were on the most extensive scale, and had it not been for the promptitude displayed by be Houses of Parliament in so nobly responding to th e appeal of the Prime Minister, and conceding the ea tensive powers demanded without a moment's delay or hesitation, much blood would necessarily have been shed ere the rebellion could have been sup pressed. The suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, however, precipitated the crisis. The revolutionary leaders were struck with terror, and fled feom the metropolis. The rashness of Mr. Sltrrn O'BRIEN in at once raising the standard of rebel hon, his vacillation and inefficiency in command, al id manifest imbecility since the vast responsibility of the generalship in the field of the rebel army was conferred upon, or assumed by him, coupled with tl ,e decisive defeat he sustained from a handful of p 4 dice, have completely crushed the incipient revolu ti on, with less than one hundredth part of the Be st ruction of life and property that must have taken pl tace two months later. Had there been a temporary success the consequences might have been formidable, and greater difficulties would have been encountered At putting down the rebels—the issue, however, could not have proved doubtful for a single moment. It is said that Mr. O'BRIEN has succeeded in again rtssernbling some thousands of followers, and that a rebel camp has been established on the side of lievenamon. This position has manifestly been ilected from the facilities for escape and shelter in the mountain fastnesses, where it would be a:qnost impossible for the military to pursue the fu gitives very closely. The parties who thus remain t2ong with the proscribed chieftain are most probably Chose who have already committed themselves too deeply at Bouglagh, and who dread the consequences Off their own insane conduct, and the avenging arm of General MeDoNALD, who, it appears, is entrusted with ample powers for the punishment of all those impli ctated in the rebellion. They may fancy themselves sufficiently strong to set small parties of police at defiance, but it is by no means probable that they will venture to await the attack of a regular Iltilitary force, with artillery and all the other appli ances of war. Should such an attack take place they Hill probably immediately disperse amongst the bogs scud rocks, of which the mountain consists, without waiting to receive even the first fire from the troops. NYe cannot anticipate anything very formidable from this last convulsive struggle of these desperate men. A proverb, long popular among the peasantry of Flanders, says, Quantl le Francois dort, le Diable le b erce—" When the Frenchman sleeps, the Devil rocks the cradle I" Since the insurrection of June there has been, politically speaking, a lull within the circumference of the Boulevards. The Parisians have been sleeping. Worn out by the agitation of &Jur months of perpetual vigilance, stunned by the interminable din of the rappel—they have at last yielded to the demands of nature and have slum bered. Who rocks the cradle ? Ask General CA -v-AIGNAC. Not that we mean to insinuate, by any e leans, that the victorious Dictator of the 23d, 24th, 25th, and 26th of June, is identical with his Satanic Majesty; neither is it that we pin down our credence to the accuracy of the old Flemish adage, attributing the occasional drowsiness of our Gallic neighbours to such diabolical lullabies. We couple with the proverb of Flanders the fact of the late unwonted quietude in the French capital—and demand the solution of the problem from the man best qualified to answer the inquiry. M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN has gone further—his interrogations have been rather more disagreeable in their criminal inference—be has not only pointed out where the shoe pinches, he has trampled upon it with a sort of sardonic glee, and illustrated the accuracy of his perception by the poignant agony and writbings of his antagonist. In letter addressed to our contemporary the John Bull, the principal editor of the Presse has put these ques tions :—On the 22d of June the existence of the c on spiracy and the plans of the insurrection being known to the Government, on which of the Ministers did the duty of taking precautions devolve in a particular :manner ? On the Minister of War. What precautions were taken by the Minister of War ? None whatever ; the Minister of War was in a state of profound inaction. Who was the Minister of War ? General CAVAIGNAC I The deductions to be drawn from these considerations would be inevitably to the prejudice of the fame and character of General CA VAIGNAC, were not the earnestness of his patriotism and the goodness of his heart, believed i n m os t cor dially by his admirers. M. DE GIRARDIN confesses as much, and is compelled to transfer the odium of that conduct which led to the unobstructed outburst of rebellion, and consequently to the concentration of the powers of Government into the hands of General CAVAIGNAC, from General CAVAIGNAC himself to his more designing and less conscientious associates. If, then, the Republican Dictator was not actuated by the callous calculations of self-aggrandizement even at the expense of his unfortunate country, he was an instru ment in the hands of knaves who saw a brighter perspective for themselves through the bloody mists of civil war. If he was not a criminal he was a dupe. If he did not wilfully permit the horrors of battle and anarchy to rage in the beautiful streets of Paris for the purpose of availing himself of the confusion by snatching the fasces of the Republic out of the dust the instant it was hurled from the grasp of the Executive Committee—he unconsciously allowed himself to be deluded into a stupor which very nearly caused the destruction of France, and resulted in such an extraordinary accession of authority to himself as ne cessarily gave rise to insidious rumours, and, in a very great measure also, justified suspicion. Such is the severe logic of the Redacteur en Chef of the Presse ; and certainly his arguments are wonderfully per suasive, if they are not altogether unanswerable. The political commentaries of M. EMILE DE GI RARDIN are, nevertheless, very far from being infallible or oracular. In witness whereof we may adduce a communication just published in the columns of the SWele. The author of this communication is none other than the illustrious founder of the French Re public—that man more eloquent than VERGNIAUD, more brave than ROLAND, more philosophic than CONDOIICET, more pure than CHENIER, and more abused by the slanders of ingratitude than the gentle hearted and enthusiastic DessiouLiss. The letter inserted in the Siècle has allusion to a statement made by M. DE GIRARDIN, in his recent pamphlet, to the effect that on the 29th of March " a paid band" threatened to destroy his printing-presses, and that for three days " paid rioters" were stationed opposite the office of his newspaper. Here is the refutation of this enormous calumny, as contained in the commu nication addressed to the Slick by ALPHONSE DE LAMARTINE. It appears to us so nobly characteristic of the m an th a t we g i ve t h e c i rcums t ance prec i se l y as it Is related by LAMARTINE : b0d"..0_31, Young men, the evening," h e w r ite s , " o f M arc h th e 29th a men, filled the court-y ard of v , o National fthe H G o u t a e r l d so, of E d o w r e o irgka- 44. #. 1 ~j. „ 0 aui -.A L . ,Ti .. , . ..i''.f gii.e....V.-441Ft410,' ly :./ • II", '' ‘ l.

THE SUN, LONDON, Affairs, and penetrated even:to the reception-rooms, with cries 01 • Vive la Republique .r"A bus Girardin !' They seemed much excited respecting an article in the Presse, which had, it appears, strongly attacked the Provisional Government. They spoke vehemently, and with threats, against the spirit of that journal, and against the endu rance of the Government for tolerating such attacks against itself, and leaving them unpunished. They siemed to demand a sort of tacit authorisation to go, and impose silence by violence on the liberty of the press in the person of M. de Girardin. I had maoh diffi culty in calming them, and convincing them that the character of the Republic consisted precisely in that abosolute liberty of control over the acts and the men of the Goverment, provided it did not degenerate either into attacks against the fundamental institutions of society or into provocations to civil war. Even injustice,' I said to them, 'is a right of the press. W rite, reply, discuss, blame, but do not touch either the author or the instrument of free thought.' My words are in the Aloniteur. The young men with drew and proceeded to mingle themselves with the groups which were collected in the Rue Montmartre, and to spread abroad my words, and to persuade the crowd to retire peacefully. I went there myself a mo ment after, accompanied by a single officer of the Na tional Guard out of uniform. There was then no other public force in Paris, except the words of some men loved by the people. The two following nights I returned and mingled with the groups more or less menacing, which were collected under the windows of M. de Gi rardin, to watch, unknown to him, and, if necessary, to oppose with my person the movement of irritation against him." That is a truly heroic refutation--heroic because it reveals that, unknown to M. DE GIRARDIN himself, unknown to the world at large until now, LI MARTINI, under the cover of night, risked his life and his popularity, at the very time when his life was most precious and his popularity most wonderful, to shelter with the voice of his genius, and with the daring of his bosom, the very man who was every day calling upon the people to revolt against his Government. If ever an act was heroic —that act of LAMARTINE is marked with the traits of the most true, the most earnest, the most un selfish, the most antique, and the most elevated heroism ! It is a valiant and manly contradiction of a mean and ignoble slander. History will not for get the incident—it will sparkle like a diamond virtue amidst the blood and blackness of the Revo lution. The Madrid mail had not arrived in Paris when the post left. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. After the speech of M. lieu Gum, and the expla• nations of M. BASTIDE and General CAVAIGNAD on the subject of foreign affairs, were concluded, the National Assembly resumed the adjourned debate on the report of M. THIERS on the proposition of M. PROUDHON; the latter addressed the Assembly for three hours in support of his principles of communism and organized plunder. At the conclusion of his ad dress, which was listened to with great impatience, M. SENARD, the Minister of the Interior, ascended the tribune, and declared that the Government had never imagined that the tribune of that House would ever have been so disgraced, or France so insulted, as they were by the apology for crime of every sort, and the excitement to revolt and to every bad passion which had just been uttered. It was proposed by another member that the speech of M. PRUDHON should be excluded from the &oniteur, and that all journals reporting it should be prosecuted. This, however, was opposed by M. DUPIN. M. TIMES, having received the assurances of the Assembly that there was no necessity for his making any reply to the speech of M. PROUDHON, proposed the following resolution : " The National Assembly—considering that the pro position of the citizen Proudhon is an odious attack on the principles of public morality; that it is a flagrant violation of the right of property, which is the basis of social order; that it encourages a delusion, and appeals to the vilest passions; considering, further, that the outline of it has calumniated the revolution of February, in wishing to render it an accomplice of the theories which he has developed in the tribune—passes to the order of the day." On a division, there appeared— For the resolution ... Against it ... ... ... 691 The names of the Members of the Assembly who were absent from the division of those who voted in favour of the resolution and those who voted against it are to be published in the .4onikur. The following announcement on the subject of the new loan appears in the Moniteur " The Minister of Finance, considering that the pay ments by anticipation for the loan have reached a very great extent; considering that it is advisable to maintain the sums accruing from the loan in a just proportion with the wants of the service, and not to withdraw abruptly from the movement of affairs too much capital, decides as follows: '• Only Article.—The faculty of paying by anticipa tion at a discount of 4 per cent., the coining terms of the loan, accorded by Art. 11 of the order of the 25th of this month, is suspended. " G 0 UDCHA lIX. " Paris, July 31, 1848." The Journal des Debuts publishes a contradiction of the rumour to which it gave circulation on the previous day that a Provisional Government had been formed in Rome. There is no truth in the statement. The Vice-President of the Provisional Government of Milan, GOIRIERI, arrived in Paris yesterday, with an address signed by all the members of the Provi sional Government, soliciting the intervention of France to secure Italian independence against Austria. He had a long interview with General CAVAIGNAC. The Revue des Deux ilfondes says that a French squadron is to be sent immediately into the Adriatic, and that the expedition into the Legations, upon which M. LUCIEN MURAT has been sent by the French Government, is in reference to the inter vention. BOURSE.—PAnis, Auc. 1.

The Provisional Government has again got the power into their own hands. Colonels ODOUESCO and SALOMON have, with their men, joined the people. Notwithstanding the announcement of the Russian Consul, nothing positive has yet been ascertained respecting the ad vance of the Russian troops ; in fact it seems as if the whole was a false report. In Galacz a Turkish steamer is said to have landed . 2,000 Turkish troops, who immediately proceeded to Moldavia. RUSSIA. Count VON NESSELRODS, Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs, has addressed a circular to all the Russian diplomatic agents at the Courts of Germany, relative to the situation of Russia in regard to the other powers respecting the affairs of S c hl esw i g Holstein rind ,the Polish question. Count NESSEL RODE declares that although the Muscovite Govern ment might justly make the war with Denmark the gratuitous transport on the German railway of those Poles who wish to raise an insurrection in the country, and the situation of Posen and Gallicia a pretext for war, it nevertheless persists in its reso- WEDNESDAY lution of maintaining peace, and of continuing as heretofore its amicable relation with all the powers, and especially with Germany ; that consequently the Russian troops concentrated on the frontiers have no aggressive intention whatsoever, but only to be in a state of readiness in case of need.

Campagna and Custoza were retaken, and the Duke of Savoy passed the night at Somma Campagna. At ten o'clock in the morning, the King fixed his head-quarters at Villa-Franca, and shortly afterwards 6,000 Austrians were brought in pri soners, and locked up in the church. " This morning (25th July) the whole army was on foot, and eager for the battle. Yesterday, whilst the battle was going on at Soinnia Campagna and Custoza an Austrian division attempted to cross the Mincio at Salionze and Monzambano. The inhabitants were panic struck, and the young Lombard recruits there fled in disorder. Colonel Malpassuti has taken th© command of Brescia.' The correspondent of the National, under date Milan, July 27, says— " Matters soon changed their appearance on the field of 'battle, and during three days and three nights the Piedmontese and Austrian armies remained engaged. On Sunday, the 23d, as we before stated, a part of the Piedmontese army, being suddenly attacked, was forced to fall back. On Monday, the 24th, Charles Albert having hastened up from Marmirole to Villa Franca, retook the positions which had been captured the day before, re-established his entire line, and, after eight hours' combat, caused the Austrians such consi derable losses as to open to him the perspective of a complete victory on the morrow. It was these events of the 24th, to which had been added, by anticipation, the probable events of the 25th, that formed the bulletin transmitted to us yesterday, and which is to be found to-day in many of the Italian journals. Unfortunately, on Tuesday, the 25th, whilst the Piedmontese artillery thundered from the heights of Somma Campagna on the already shattered Austrian army, a new corps of the enemy which came out from Verona where R adetsky had concentrated all his forces from Ley nago and Vicenza, attacked the rear of the Pied montese army. This movement had been only ren dered possible by the defection, or rather let us say the want of courage of the new Lombard levies and the treason of the Modenese, who, on the approach of the Austrians being signalled at Saliouze and Mozam bano, abandoned all their positions, and disgarnished all the posts confided to their guard. The Piedmontese, happily better warriors, were nevertheless obliged, after a meritorious resistance, to retire on Villa Franca; after night-fall it was found necessary to continue this move ment of retreat and fall back on Goito, which they did in good order, carrying with them 2,500 prisoners, living proofs of the bright success which marked the 24th. This movement of Charles Albert is explained by the necessity ' he was under of rejoining his reserves on the line of the Mincio. He can besides call up the corps cantoned on the banks of the Adda, and, who knows ? resume the offen sive against the Austrians, worn out by these three days' . fighting. Peschiera is defended by the left wing of the army, commanded by General do Sonnaz. The blockade has been necessarily obliged to be raised. It is now necessary to examine the present situation calmly in order to judge it properly. A reverse like that of the 25th was easy to foresee. The line of the Piedmontese was far toe extended ; the bragging inexperience of the Lombard conscripts bore its own fruits. One could— one ought to know that finally, since it was a question of a strategic war, that the mo ment would come when the Piedmontese reserves would bo the only resource of Charles Albert This is just what has happened. Lombarby is still covered since Goito has not been abandoned. If the Austrians dare to pass the Mincio they will expose themselves to a battle, which manoeuvres skilfully com bined may render fatal to them. At Milan, moreover, where the fugitives raise up on all sides the cry of trea son, public opinion has undergone a complete change, and the intervention of France is called for with a con tinually increasing insistance. Can this intervention take place immediately ? Will you not fear to compro mise the whole of Europe if you pass the Alps, as they will perhaps supplicate you to do ? These are questions which we ask ourselves here with an anxiety easy to comprehend." Accounts from Verona of the 26th state that CHARLES ALBERT was completely defeated on the 25th, with great loss, by Marshal RADETSKY and General NUGENT ; that the Austrians were in posses sion of Somma Campagna, Villa Franca, Valleggio, Volta, Monzambano, and the Mincio from Valleggio as far as the fortress of Peschiera, which is still in the hands of the Piedmontese. Marshal RADETSKY has also reopened his communications with Tyrol; in fact, he has succeeded in accomplishing all that he undertook to accomplish, and what that was may be gathered from the following statement : " JULY 23.—The Piedmoutese army continuing to concentrate itself in the direction of Matua and the Po, as well for the purpose of observing that town at to get nearer to Venice, blockaded on the landside, Marshal Radetaky prepared an expedition to divert their atten tion. The Piedmontese line extends from Rivoli (oc cupied for the purpose of closing the communication of the Austrian army with the Tyrol) along the heights of Pastrengo, San Giastina, Sona, Somma, Campagna, Valleggio, Villa Franca, Roverbella, Cur talone, Governolo, and beyond it towards the Po. The posts from Rivoli to Villa Francas having been probably weakened by the movement towards Mantua, the Marshal, who for some days had been concen trating his force of from 40,000 to 50,000 men round Verona, decided upon a movement against the centre of these positions, and directed his army in three columns one upon the route of the Tyrol, towards Rivoli, another towards Peschiera, and the third towards Somma Cam pagna. The enemy was overthrown at every point with a considerable loss ; one general, some officers, a few hundred soldiers, and two guns were taken. Retreat was precipitate, but the pursuit difficult, the ground not permitting the employment of the cavalry. The enemy retired beyond the Mincio ; the troop which was at Rivoli escaped to Peschiera, part embarking on the Lake di Garde at Bardolino and Luise. The loss on the side of the Austrian army amounted to five officers and about 200 men killed and wcunded. " On the 23d—It is concentrated in observation of Peschiera and the Mincio, in the direction of Mozam bano, Talleggio, and Villa Franca, and waits to see what Carlo Alberto will undertake against them. Should he, abandoning the blockade of Mantua, advance upon Ve rona, the army awaits him, leaning upon the heights of Custozzo, in the plains of Villa Franca, to give him battle. Should he approach by the right of the Mincio, towards Valleggio and Monzambano, the army has upon all these points strong positions, anti w ill hold them against him so as to be able to pass the Mincio at Sa lionze, and menace his communications with Lombardy. In every case his designs upon Mantua and the Venetian provinces must be postponed, and considering the state of public opinion, which every day declares itself more strongly against his inactivity, his situation both mili tary and political will become precarious." The following is the Austrian version of the battle of the 25th:— " VIENNA, JULY 27.—The following has been received by telegraph, dated Padua, July 25:—The Austrian army has obtained a brilliant victory, and has driven the enemy out of his entrenchments in the utmost disorder. Rivoli, Somma Campagna, Castelnovo, and Valleggo are in our hands. General Morton, with Charles Albert's adjutant, and many other officers, are prisoners." The Piedatontese Gazette of the 28th ult. contains the following list of the new Ministry : CASATI, President of the Council (Milanese). Ricci, Interior. PAM°, Foreign Affairs. COLLEGNO, War. GIORA, Grace and Justice. RATTAZZI, Public Instruction. DURINI, Public Works. SANTA ROSA, Or PALEOCAPA (), Finance. ROME. It appears that it was at one time in contemplation to appoint a Committee of War, and this had given rise to the rumour that a Provisional Government had been established. Letters of the 24th ult. have been received from Rome, which state that the Mah miani Ministry had retired, and that the POPE had applied to M. Rossi to form a new Cabinet, but that M. Rossi had declined. HOLLAND. TUE ITAGuE.—The Avaterdanz kandelsblad says that the Commandant of the Fortress of Maestrecht has given orders that, in consequence of the extraor dinary position of Limbourg, precautionary measures shall be adopted. The fortress is put in a state of defence, the posts and guards have been doubled both within and without. Those posts which are,usually under the command of subalterns have now been confided to superior officers, and general orders have been issued that no officer on duty shall leave the city. The Journal de Ziege states that Maestrecht has been declared in a state of siege, in consequence of the restoration of the Frankfort Parliament. Everything is quiet in the provinces, but the de cision of the National Parliament has caused an un favourable impression. General regret is, however, expressed that the Netherlands Government did not obviate this step by wise preventive measures. ITALY. LOMBARDY AND PIEDMONT. THE GREAT BATTLES BETWEEN THE AUSTRIANS AND ITALIAN S.-NEW SARDINIAN MINISTRY. The battle between the Austrians and the Pied montese has been long and severe, and victory has finally declared for RADETZKY, who has succeeded in effecting the object he had in view, and in forcing CHARLES ALBERT to retire beyond the Mincio. On the 23d the Austrians, who seem to have taken the Piedmontese by surprise, were completely victorious. They swept the whole country before them. On the 24th they were attended in their positions by the Pied montese, and driven further, leaving 2,500 prisoners in the hands of the Italian army. On the 25th the battle was renewed, and continued until night, when the Piedmontese army retired in good order, taking with them their prisoners. The headquarters of CHARLES ALBERT were, on the 2Gth, at Goito. The following is the Piedmontese official account of the events of the 25th : " TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE :►SINISTER OF WAR. " Principal Head-quarters, Goito, July 26, 1848. " I have already had the honour to inform your Excel lency of the battle of Staffolo, which ended so gloriously for the royal army on the 24th instant; the loss of the enemy, better known on the following day, was 1,200 prisoners, among whom were thirty-eight officers and an immense number of killed. On the morning of the 25th General Bava undertook an evolution, from which great success was confidently expected. The strong but short defence made by the enemy, in the ex cellent position occupied on the preceding evening, led As to believe that his forces, if not inferior to those with which we intended to attack him, were not certainly in great number, and it was in that supposition that yes terday morning the Brigade of Aosta pushed forward on Valeggio, whilst the division of the Duke of Savoy was to have reached the:rear, from the heights above Stat folo, following up the hills. At the same time the Royal division, commanded by the Duke of Genoa, was to march from Somma Campagna to Ogliosi to attack the bridge that the Austrians had formed on the Mincio at Salionae. Whilst all these attacks were to be in operation, the Ge neral commanding the secondcorpsof the army had orders to attack Valeggio also from the right bank of the Mincio. In all the rencontres our soldiers had with the Austrians, these latter were constantly beaten. But the two divi sions of the' Duke of Savoy and the Duke of Genoa had to sustain such impetuous assaults from the enemy, that they were unable to reach the point where they were to co-operate with the brigade Sommariva to the attack of Valeggio. The support, moreover, that the General commanding the second corps of the army was to have given, was entirely missed, as the soldiers were exhausted by the fatigues of the preceding days. " Under existing unforeseen circumstances his Majesty ordered the force to retire on Villa Franca, and the retro grade movement was accomplished in such a manner, that the enemy did not dare to follow us; the obstinate resist ance however, which we met with yesterday, without reap: ing any great advantage from the valour of our soldiers, as had so many a time previously happened, clearly de monstrated to his Majesty that the adverse forces had increased so much, that our position at Villa Franca was no longer tenable, and he consequently ordered that all the army should retire on the right of the Mincio, concen trating at Goito, where his Majesty has fixed to-day his head-quarters, which movement was complied with this morning in a most orderly manner. The enemy, Bimost at our heels on the right side and behind our columns, only dispatched after us a few Hulans, who kept a re spectful distance from us. 6' We know our losses as yet very incompletely, either of this day or of the various combats of the preceding days. As soon as I shall be able to obtain an exact ac count of them, I shall do myself the honour to commu nicate it to your Excellency. lam happy to say, even from this moment, that our losses have not been consi derable, although we have to deplore the death of Major- General commanding the Brigade of Savoy, Chevalier D'Aviernoz, which took place in the combats of St. Giustina; and of a few other officers, the Chevalier Boy I, Major-General commanding the Brigade Cuneo; and Chevalier Giustiniani, Major in the royal corps of the General Staff, were lightly wounded. " The Chief of the Staff, " SALASCO." The correspondent of the Journal des Debats, at the head-quarters of CHARLES ALBERT, gives the fol lowing account of the battle of the 25th : " VILLA FRANCA, JULY 25.—The fighting has been going ou all day. The Austrians have displayed against us such an immense amount of force that we regard as a victory our having vigorously sustained the check, and preserved our position on the Mincio. " The King, as I have informed you this morning, attacked the enemy with a corps of 20,000 men ; but, contrary to all expectation, after an hour's fighting, we saw coming up against us 45,000 Austrians, in such a manner rt hatinplace of being the assailants, we found ourselves attacked along the whole length of our line, from Somme Campagna to Valeggio. The bssttle lasted from eight in the morning till five in the afternoon, and on both sides the struggle was a desperate one. Our troops, although very inferior in number, made head against the enemy with much valour. The regiment of Novarre cavalry three times broke the squares of the Austrian battalions and carried carnage into the midst of them. The Pignarolle regiment charged with the bayonet five times. But in spite of all our efforts the enemy kept his position on the left bank of the Mincio, while we remain masters of our position on the right. As a precaution, we have, ourselves broken down all the bridges on the Mincio, with the exception of one at Peschiera, and another at Goito, which are the two principal passages of the river. The result of all the combats of the last few days will probably oblige us to entrench ourselves on the line of the Mincio, and to remain for some time on the defensive. " The losses of the enemy in the several battles of these days cannot yet be estimated; but, considering the superiority of our artillery and the ardour of our troops, their loss must greatly exceed ours." On this communication the Debtata makes the fol lowing remarks : " According to the dispatch, the hottest part of the combat took place on the two slopes of the valley ex tending from Somma Campagna to the Mincio, and along that river to the north of Valeggio. It results from that, that the line of the Austrian army was nearly per pendicular to the Mincio, upon which its right was sup ported, while its left made face to Somma Campagna. It also results from it that the left wing of the Pied montese army, which had retired below Peschiera, was entirely cut off from the rest of the army. These cir cumstances were very unfavourable to Charles Al bert, who from that time was no longer master of the whole course of the Mincio, as he had formerly been. It will be remarked, in the letter of our cor respondent, that the King was attacked by 45,000 men, while he had only 20,000 to oppose them. Until we get further details, we cannot comprehend how the Piedmontese army, which is 80,000 strong, was only able to present 20,000 men in an affair which lasted four days. We have no explanation of this unfortunate inferiority. The official dispatch and the letter say nothing of that Austrian column which threatened to throw a bridge over the Mimic), in order to penetrate into Lombardy ; but these two documents announce that the Piedmontese have broken all the bridges, excepting those of Peschiera and Goito, which are fortified places. From this it may be inferred that the Xing had adopted this measure, foreseeing that he might be constrained to retire momentarily to the right bank of the Minoio. Let us remark, however, that this retreat was not effected on the evening of the 25th, for the dispatch of which we .speak is dated from Villa Franca. As long as the Italian army occupies this point it will not be thrown back on the Mincio. This is evidently the object of General Radetzky, but the King, with his brave army, resists heroically, and if there are no other events than those of which we have information to the evening of the 25th of July, we can repeat that the question is still undecided, in spite of the redoubtable efforts and nu merical superiority of:the Austrian army." The 41rentidaP jsfarzo of Milan of the 26th ult. has the following : " BRESCIA, JULY 25.—• The Piedmontese troops at Rivoli, consisting chiefly of the Savoy brigades of Pine rolo and Savona, having fallen back upon Peschiera, which, from prudential measures , t he y w ere not allowed to enter, not to overcrowd t he fortress, con tinued their arms.were greatly t 0 retreat to Brescia, which city the y entered last night. ;: h T e h h e o b n r ou i brilliant a n o f t theltalian achievements After yesterday a determined NAPLES AND SICILY.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) The Caledonia steamer from New York has arrived off Liverpool. SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY NIGHT, AUG. I.—The steam-ship Tiger, Captain Bingham, has just arrived here with a cargo of Spanish oxen from Bilboa. The beasts are to be landed and sold by auctiun in the South ampton Docks. The Tiger brings no news of import ance from the Spanish coast. THE CHINESE JUNE KEYING.— We are gratified to observe that the price of admission to this novel and curious exhibition is reduced to one shilling during the brief interval it is still going to remain in the vicinity of the metropolis. A few minutes on the Blackwall Railway, little more than a hop, step, and a jump down to the East India Docks and you are, as it were, suddenly in the heart of the domestic life of the land of John Chinaman. If over spectacle was unique, this one unquestionably is—the Chinese Junk Keying being an isolated specimen of the maritime contrivances of one of the most extraordinary nations on the face of the globe. NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY STATION.—In addition to the removal of Trinity College Church (which is at present in progress), a number of houses in Paul's Work are in course of being taken down, with the view of af fording increased accomodation for the station of the North British Railway. The principal stones of the church are being numbered, so as to form part of the new edifice.—•Caledonian Mercury. From yesterday the Chester and Holyhead Rail way will be used for the conveyance of the mails, and the train from London will be due at the Bangor station at 5 25 A.m., and from Holyhead, at 7 50 P.M. A great number of Irish reapers have arrived in this town for the purpose of gathering in the harvest in this country. The rebellious proceedings in Ireland do not appear to have diminished the importations of this class of persons.—Liverpool Standard. MONEY and COMMEr.CIAL a.: WS, QUARTi 4 ,'R TO ; HREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet but firm. Sales, 3,000 to 4,000 bales. American realised 34d. to 51d. per lb. Railway Shares generally were supported, and, in some instances, were higher. The business done was limited, and generally there were not willing sellers. The Corn Market has been firm to-day at Monday's rates, and it is probable that it may so continue until the harvest is secured. In the meantime, the rain that has fallen cannot be concluded to have done any harm. Many consider it to have proved even beneficial, and a week or two of sunshine would serve as a powerful im pulse to trade, and restore confidence in the Money Market, provided our Ministers keep clear of foreign embroilments. The house to which we have already adverted as being in difficulties is that of Alston, Bevan and Co., in the Valparaiso and La Plata trade. The liabilities will probably be to some amount, but a portion of the bills, which are the immediate cause of the embarrassment, have been provided for, "in case of need," and duly met. Messrs. Dunlop, Rowan, aid Co.. of Glasgow, have likewise suspended, and the liabilities are said to amount to 200,0001. We must recommend to attention a very useful little publication, entitled the " Emigrant's Guute," by Mr. J. C. Bryne, who has resided twelve years in the coke vies, and who, besides tables of wages, expense of out fits, &c., has afforded much useful information concern ing the climate, resources, and prospects of the respec tive countries. In the Continental advices received to-day there ap pears to be nothing of special interest, and the Irish in surrection is looked upon as being wholly suppressed. The following observations by Messrs M`Nair, Green how, and Irving, of Manchester, are rather favourable in respect to the trade of that place. "The indications of returning improvement in the trade of this district have at last, we are happy to say, assumed a more practical character ; not so much, however, as regards any material additional gain realizable by spinners and manufacturers generally, as in the exist ence of a demand surpassing very considerably in extent that of any which has prevailed for some time past. "From the commencement to about the third week of the month, the market was charaeterised by much ani mation. Since then it has become gradually more quiet, accompanied with an indisposition on the part of buyers to operate whilst the condition of Ireland and the unsettled state of matters on the con tinent remain as they are. The weather too not being so favourable as could be wished is beginning to origi nate anxiety with respect to the approaching harvest. There are rumours likewise (most likely very ex • aggerattd) in circulation respecting the reappearance of disease in the potato crop. Cloth and twist have ad vanced. The stocks of goods are generally light." The following is part of a table from the Bankers' Magazine, completed by ourselves up to yesterday, with some remarks from the same source:— tete February, 24thliarch, lst August, 1841. 1845. 1848.

Bank of France Shares 3,190 ... 1,600 ... 1,675 " The Securities of the French Government stand in by far the worst position in this list, nor is it likely that this position will be improved by the present financial dilemma of the Republican Government. The original loan of 50,000,000 of francs by the Bank of France in March last, was recently extended to 150,000,000 francs. Even this respectable sum is now exhausted, and the Minister of Finance has, during the last few days, ob tained the consent of the Assembly to a project for a new loan, by the creation of five per cent. rentes, equal to an annual charge of 13,131,000 francs. These rentes are to be sold to the public at the rate of 75 francs 24 cents fur every 100 francs of rente. Supposing the whole of the rentes to be disposed of at this rate, the result would be that a gross loan of about 200,000,000 francs (say 8,000,0001.) would be raised at the rate of very nearly 6 per cent. per annum. The forfeited deposits upon the last loan are to be available in the subscription, and with the help of this resource it is just possible that the French people may be able and willing to en trust their new Government with the money. Nobody seems to expect that foreign capitalists will extensively interfere. The escape of the railways from confiscation is somewhat too fresh in the memory of the creditors of France to permit such an expectation." The public securities are quiet this morning, but the opinion is favourable to an advance, provided the weather continues fine. Indeed were foreign politics not unsettled we should have a very decided and speedy change for the better, while sunshine prevails. Consols have been 874 4, and are now about 87/ 4.
