LONDON; Stnday The Obsaiver is enabled to state thatthe allies were yesterday advan.eing, ,and that Pesehiera; was likely to fall immediately ; even the strong lines of Verona are not expected to prove so formidable as many persons suppose. Should they succumb; the war in Italy will soon be ended, as the expulsion of the Austrians is the first condition of peace. Prussia and Germany may interfere to retard , this result by claiming to dictate conditions for securing to Austria possession of some portion of the Italian soil from which she is now nearly expelled, but the idea of claiming the Italian fortresses on the Mincio as German d et the approval of eror Napoleon entering ices can never m As to the Emp upon a general course of European aggression it is turn i n peace to France as soon stpossible, with the eclat of having liberated Ititly.from 'fore an domination FRENCH OFFICIAL ACCOUNT.

So long as .Governments think it advisable to under state their losses,. it will be scarcely possible to get at the truth with respect to killed and wounded. . From the information I have got here, kind from persons who were.on and near the battle-field soon . after the engagement, I believe the number to. have ,fallen to have been quit( large' as was stated at Turin and in Paris, buy 1 divided The French losses. ,eannot but have sidering the nature • and duratieh ,of t heavy, C su . nue of the position were defended, and even re-taken when captured was no pursuit, partly perhaps because night dos( &lit ended, but also because the Austrians were.ne they would still have f have been prolonged and the lmitle would :u6red severely in their I tain their its of the line I v, a g►rf lany re hospitals I heavy losses.

The known facts are that the Austrians - Tought bravely, were badly commanded, and got the worst of the . contest. I will mention, however,,a statement that: has reached me from a slurce that :ought to g of deceit.' accurate, and that I have certainly no grounds for suspectingwilfuleceit. , It is that the reports of the municipal anthorit were to the effect that upty 1 13,000 )rpses,WerE In enormous toto hichever way we ma If we take ti en the custo •s, of wour neater 'than , the latiest that' has vet 1 buried it, between proportio former v casualties far Austrian numt . _ . published: - It seems quite possible, - howeYer, • that the increased forte with which bullets. are" projected from the firearms now 'in use may. augment the number 'of mortal wounds. And one must also bear in mind the large extent to which the bayonet has been used . in this war, and the deadly nature of the woundsie inflicts. A friend who was over the battle-ground at. Malegnano, immediately after the short but sharp ',encounter that there assures me that - he saw many Austrian c ,ok place, pses with 'thiee or four bayonet thrusts in the bod the handiwork of the ZlitavE accused of heir This was who certainly cannot' be iii their bloody basiness, and ronsed at Njaleirttano . even to. unusual who seem to have be that there is no particular nagic in an African uniforrit, and that there are .plenty of French regiments quite as efficient as the Zouaves, but, so faras this- \rat' has - as yet gone, it 'certainly seems as if the latter were generally preferr6d,Wien there is particularly hard fighting to be done': If they continue to be thrust forward into the post of honour and of danger, it is probable that not many - of those who so lately arrived in Italy will ever leave it:again.

THE 'BATTLE OF MALEGNANO A Turin Correspondent wr ites-:._ - - ."The French loss at the combat of Melegn . ano or Marignano (the - names ate used indifferently) amounted, according to returns desgaiing confidence; to 822 ineiwand 56 officers -.hors de cotacit That of 'the AuStrians was pro bably heavier,— but- still nothing _ like, 5,000 (including prisoneri), at which it vas first liberally computed by the French:: Immediately - after a •hattle .

If the Austrian rifles are' - more successful than their_ opponents in bringing down the 'chiefs, that is; an adva'ntage for which they have only themselves. and their goo'd training to thank, and complaints of it appear to me about is reasonable as'those hyliieh are said to have been made on the other side of the constant •reciiiirse by' the French to the use of the bayonet. --- GARIBALDI'S MOVEMENTS TURIN, June 21.—A, considerable number' of new journals have - appeared here, and will, doubtless, befollowed by others, but I haVe not . had time to examine them. When Austria evacnated, and Piedmont assumed the government, the Afilan Gazette expected that, as in 1848 , it would hive but to change its editors - and remain the official paper. A rival, however, promptly started, called La Lombardia, and had interest enough to secure the favours of the power& that be. Last night's issue contains the decree for the conscription in Lombardy. Young men already serving in - the riedmontese army, with Garibaldi, &c., will be considered as : belonging. to the first category of • the conscription, and will be deducted from the contingent 'demanded. Vignani, the Governor, has issued a manifesto, addreSsed - to the youths liable'to be drawn, exhorting them to be in readiness, and reminding :them of. the tmperor Napoleon's address, in which he urges them to rally round the standard of Victor Erninannel. _ There is.a good deal of recruiting going on here—at least there are several recruiting offices open. There .is .one for the 'French foreign legion, which certainly has much need to fill the,gaps lately made in its ranks.; one fur the Piedmon• tese Royal Carbineers ; one, I am told for the Piedmontese army, and one for. Garibaldi's Legion. The last alone seems to find much favour with the Lombards, the others have as yet obtained littl e or no thi ng. I am informed that _the number of volunteers who have joined Garibaldi since his first entrance into Lombard terri. tory cannot be estimated at less than 10,000 to 12,000 . . In the very first 36 hours that his office was open at Milan 800 presented themselves. His ; service is most popular here. His former exploits 'as It condettiere in the . Valtelina and elsewhere gave hiin - asimmense reputation in Lombardy; and this, I need not_say,' has been enhanced 'by the success that attended his recent-hazardous expedition into. the-lake lionten firman that Ru drawn Convention of 41. TURKEY ) be direr ,s of Klobrok, after n influence has r Powers that b ig district, where he fairly out-generalled his opponents. Although. the ,affair was on a small scale as regarded the numbers on tither side, it is the episode of the present war which must be the most galling to the Austrians, since it may and will be said that they were there beaten by raw troops', although the main cause of their discomfiture was. Garibaldi's skill and knowledge of the. country. The letters that were sent from Piedmont to Milan by way of Switzer land , during the period of, I think, 10 or 12 days that Garibaldi was master of the line of country as far as Como, have never yet arrived here, and it is believed that, the ordinary road from Geneva to Milan being closed, they were taken to Verona or some other place eastward, and still lie . The excitement in the Earopean provinces is on the increase, and it is the opinion of tore who ought to know that an outbreak cannot be much longer deferred. It seems probable that Servia will take the lead, and all eyes are turned on Novi-Bazar, which, from its position, is a place of Ole,,utmost importaneo_ to the Turkish army. To this point it is •probable that the undivided attention of the ted, they have rais attempts to carry it by assault. Prince Couza.'s election is still unsanctioned by the Porte, and, inasmuch as he is decidedly anti 7 Russian, it was thought that. the Grand Dftke's..visit to Constantinople boded . him.no good.

The English, French, and Austrian Consulates have been either destroyed or rendered unfit for further occupation. ---+--- CITERICA.

It is said the leader is Nepornu cena Pereda, an old Santa Annaist. There appeared some difficulty in :the way, when another turn was was given to these movements. After Pereda arrived from Havanna'', and visited. the Jesuists at the College at Spring Hill, near Mobile, the whole party suddenly left New Orleans for Mobile, from whence it is understood another vessel'is to take theM, with an additional number of persons, to pronounce in favour of Santa Anna. It is also said by a reliable in formant that the last steamer from Havantiah brought money for the expedition. The friends of Lord Napier in Washington have received letters from him, in which he - speaks of the friendly disposition of the British government to wards that country, and says the conduct of Sir Wil liam Gore Ousely, in the matter of the treaty with Nicaragua, was disapproved of without hesitation the moment the government was informed of, what he had done. . . It is known in Washington that the French go vernment 'have secret - agents now employed pur chasing and contracting for ships and munitions of war ofvariousi kinds. Some heavy contracts have already been made with leading establishments en gan•ed. in the manufacture of such r material, to" be delivered at the earliest practical moment. The administration has not yet fully determined on its boutse of action pending the war in Eu rope, but has under consideration a declaration or statement of the principles by which the United States, as a neutral, will be governed. It will clearly set forth the just rights of, American citizens engaged in the peaceful pursuits of coin -merce, which as far as possible the administration designs to protect. The precise position which will be assumed cannot be ascertained, but they approxi mate to the principles heretofore declared, namely, that free ships make free goods, contraband of war excepted; and that the goods of a, friend captured on board the vessels of an enemy, with the like excep tions, shall not be subject to confiscation ; and that therights of war ought not, in the nature of things, to extend further than to exact from - 'neutrals the interruption of all trade with a blockaded port, and to subject articles contraband, of war to capture and confiscation. The official exposition will involve the discussion of important questions, including that of blockade, and as to how far this belligerent right should be exercised. The President is fully alive to the present com plicated and perilous condition of Mexican affairs, and he is determined to do everything in his power to put the Juarez government upon a flan footing; He believes that a further augmentation of our squadron in the Gulf is necessary, and has instructed the Secretary of the Navy to send three . additional ton at - 60c cash ; and The market was more 6t $1650 )id at sixty days, Beef : The market was st nti vont, A.

Oliver, cabinetmaker, having nothing on but her night dress ; she was walking about with her eyes wide open,-apparently awake, but in reality in a state of perfect somnambulism. She was taken to her home, which was close at hand, and her husband was aroused, by whom she got up, walked down swtaaisrsp,laucneldoeiknebtied. the Tftroanptp e d a o rs or t , ha a t nd she went into the street, without either disturbing her husband or arousing herself; nor was she conscious of what had taken place when she awoke in the - m orning.
