The Patric publishes a despatch which it describes
as a "private" and " important " one, purporting
to give details of the battle of Solferico. It con-
tains, however, nothing beyond diluted particulars
already known. lam very incredulous about pri-
vate telegrams from the theatre of war, as I know
that mine are allowed to be sent. The Empress has
doubtless received a great deal of news not yet
published, and some of this may very likely ooze
out with more or less admixture of error. The
Patric dwells upon the risk which the Em-
peror ran. It says that he never put his horse
out of a walk when changing position, although
showers of bullets rained ironed him.

The Emperor's order of the day speaks of the
French army as having bees opposed to 160,000
men. It is suggested by the Presto that his Majesty
did not here mean to speak of the whole force of the
enemy, a part of which was opposed to the Pied-
montese on other points, and that the total Austrian
force cannot have been leas than 200,000.
The semi-official journals are now allowed to state
the fact that, besides General Auger, whose arm was
carried away by a cannon-ball, as announced is the
Mosileur,Geserala Forey, De Ladmirault, and then
were wounded at the battle of Solferino, but that
happily none of their wounds are serious. The
Slide says that Colonel Pi nard, of the 34th Regiment
(General Bazaine's division), a brother of the director
of the Calm d'Escompte, is among the wounded.
M. Granier de Casaagnac has an article in the Pays
lon the " Royalty of the Pope," in which he desires
to refute in a lump a number of " strange things"
which have been lately said about it. The scope of
his article is to the following effect:—The Pope's
temporal authority is in no way whatever called
in question. The states of the church are
among the oldest in Europe. Independently
of possession and tradition, they are guaranteed by
treaties which are the basis of order in Europe, and
it is no more reasonable or possible to dispute the
sovereign rights of the Pope than it would be to
dispute those of the Queen of England, the King of
Prussia, or the Emperor of Russia. Not only has
France no idea of questioning the temporal autho-
rity of the Pope, but one of the objects of the war
is to make him independent, by delivering him from
Austrian pressure. Austria is the only enemy that
France has in Italy. It her possessions alone
which must suffer tho fortune of war. The
duchies, even, are not formally and di-
rectly affected by any question of change
of sovereignty. It is no doubt to be re-
gretted that the sovereigns of Tuscany, Modena, and
Parma, by not taking a national view of the affairs
of Italy and by abandoning their peoples, should
have placed groat difficulties is the way of restoring
their authority. But it is quite certain that France
never proposed to herself to dethrone anybody but
Austria in Italy. The Papal and Neapolitan States
are altogether strangers to the question of a re-
settlement of Italy, and will not be affected by it in
any event. As to Tuscany, Parma, and Modena,
their case is reserved for the decision of Europe.
The military dictatorship which it has been found
necessary to accept is an essentially conservative

The above article does not in any way allude to
an ingenious and apropos distinction made by the
King of Sardinia in a recent circular, in which he
divides into two categories tho kind and degree of
authority exercised by him in those parts of Italy
out of his own dominions. Some states (his Majesty
says) are simply protected while others are annexed
de facto. It is moreover to be remarked that the re-
cent official paragraphs in the Montleur said nothing
about any distinction of this kind. The Presse,
however, suggests by way of reconciling the Moni-
ker with theßardinian circular, that the annexation
de• facto mentioned in tho latter must necessarily be
understood to be a temporary annexation.
The Bourse was unfavourable, acted upon by the
same causes u yesterday—the absence of details of
the battle of Solferino and the menacing attitude of
Germany. M. de Beast's circular is considered very
hostile. Tim Rents for account went down to
61fr. 90c., but there was a sudden rise late in the
afternoon from that extreme point of depression on a
rumour that Venice was taken. The latest prices
were 62fr. 100. for cash, and 62Fr. 20c. for account,
being a fall of 20z. and 10c. Mobilier closed with a
fall of but lfr. 26c. There was scarcely any ulti-
mate change in railways.
The Gareth• do France says that the Emperor
has ordered lists to be made out in every department
of France of all categories of men liable to be called
to arms, and that measures are taken for raising
460,000 men within two months. I should have
been inclined to look upon this as an alarmist
paragraph, invented by a hostile journal, but I find
it reproduced in the Si,c/e. The prefects, lam
told to-day, are ordered not to be particular about
taking men under the regulation age, but to accept
lade of 18 or 17, if they are strong.
The Presse says in its weekly commercial re-
view :

The Improvement produced by the rapid anocessee of ore
armies has cot made any marked progress, and the situation
remains much the 41.010 as last week. The news from
Prussia and Germany has occasioned the suepension of very
many orders. The immediate wants of consumption are,
however, sufficiently considerable to keeps good many hands
employed. Several manufacturer are beginning to work
for Beaticalre fair, which begins on July n. The dura-
tion of this fair was prolonged by some days last year ; and
it ie hoped that it will now rutribute to give activity to
business. Adrian from Rouen rate that a good many
buyers have lately arrived there. The demand for roues
has somewhat revived at Mulhausen. So many operatives
have Lately been called upon tojoin the army, that it would
not Men cases be easy to execute orders it bush:tar were to
improve to any great extant. The roomt storms hav-
ing occasioned rums anxiety about the wheat crop
there was rather a rising market at the beginning of the
weak, but os Wednesday sales rain predominated, and quo-
tations hero aubeided to the rates of last week. Although
fewer sampled than usual have been brought to market, there

There is but little doing in wines. The blooming near has
commenced. The storms have certainly done salareiet is
place., but, generally *peeking, the appearance of the vine-
yard. is magnificent. The diocese has quite disappeared, and
if the blooming should par off well, the vintage of 1859 may
be expected to be almost am abundant se that of 1838.
