The exultation which the news of • sietory ever
produces in Paris is more intense and more general
than usual on this occasion, on account of the almost
universal persuasion that the war most now be very
near its end. If the Austrians, after the series of de-
feats which they have suffered ia the course of three
week., art now so thoroughly beaten in a general
action on grounds of their own choosing, as there is
every reason to suppose they must be, their army
must be completely disheartened. The chiefs can have
no longer any confidence in the famous quadrangle,
which, although it may afford • temporary
retreat to the mutilated remains of a magnificent
forte, will re at best bat a vast gaol from wia:ce the
mattes can only hope to come out as prisoners of
war, unless their master, convinced of the h open&
nem of resistance, should make peace on the only
terms now open to him—the entire evactaton of
Italy.
tit Emperor's short telegram is eloquett. A line
twe:s• mi...., long, the combat lasting sixteen hours,
all the pueitioes carried, and the whole of the Ane-
trian army. which we know by recent Vienna letters
was estimated at 210,000, engaged, tell of a battle
on a larger scale than any of the many that have
been fought in this century. We know not as yet
what manse this great battle will bear in history.
The only place mentioned in the Emperor. despatchl
is Cavrisaa, from which, hitherto unknowir, place It
is deed. On the map there are two Cirri/ma, one'
ea this, the right bank of the Miocio, between Bar-
ghetto and &uterine; and the other on the left beak
bet Went Vallegio and %Alabama. The Elapse, of
Austria's headquarters when last limed of were at
Val.egio, and, inasmuch as the French telegrams
have lately represented the whole of the Aueftiaa
army as hating retreated ballad the Minas miry
people have very mutually supposed that the last
of the twe abensaamed Geniuses was the scented
the esellist new in ell meal mouths, ft is abus.
lastly Weer, however, that the former, st.d nut the
latter °mimes most be the plath mentioned in the
Emperor's despatch. The report of the enemy's
army haviiig retreated across the river some days
ago, Pet hen either been a mistake or a rage de
germ et otherwise the Austrians, after having
crowd met, mat Inverses beck again to the right
beak. The latter movement, by the way, they may
ban rusted very easily mid speedily, for is the
short space between Lake Oarda and Mantua there
are 1,3 less thab 40 strategetical bridges. By
era, of further evidence as to the identity of the
Connie& near which the battle was fought, I may
mention that a Turin despatch dated this day cos-
firms the battle of Solfenno"—a place, as we have
seen, near the Cairriana; and this evening. Patric
speaks of a despatch received this evening, which
states that the victorious army of the allies is fol-
lowing up its victory, and has crossed the Nliecio
is pursuit of the Austrians. Then is little doubt
that the battle-Bold will turn oat to have been be-
tween Pirechiers and Goito. The Carriana of which
I blue been speaking is • village rest of Casti-
glione, on the Volta road, between Peschiera and
eithatua.
Paris is in • state of great excitement, and gene-
ral preparations are main, for illuminatium and
rejoicings.
the news of a great and, as it is hoped. derided
victory, was most favourably received at the Bourse.
The Itentes rose 90 for ash and 93 for account,
closing Oren at 62.20 sad 62.70, which wore within
6e. of the highest quotations of the day. Mobility
rose 23.76. The Orleans Railway rose 20: North-
sem, 1230; Eastern, 12.30; Lyons, 10; Southern,
27.30; and Westerns, 6.

News has reached Pans that Genera: Cotte, one of
the Emperor's aides-de-camp. who was with the army
of Italy, has died suddenly from the bursting of an
aneurism.

A Vienna despatch, dated June 24, states that
the Patrse, Pays, Coma,'&flossed, Massager de
Pettit, Courrier la Paris, sad Gahyneni's iihrsen-
gtr are prohibited. The Auetrians hare been as
slow in taking this measure as they are in other
things ; almost all the German newspapers destined
for France have been regularly seized in the French
poetelke for several months past.
General Batman, who for some time commanded a
brigade in Rom* after the taking of that city by
General Oudinot, has jest died in Paris.
A Berlin letter status that a M. Krupp, a resident
in a town of Weetphalia, has jest received from the
Prussian government 100,000 theism for 300 rifled
cannons of his invention, together with an order for
more cannon, to the value of 600,000 Omen. It is
indeed blowing great guns in Prussia just now, if
this story is to be believed.
