At this juncture General M'Dowell succeeded in
interposing his corps between the forces of the
enemy, who had passed down to Manassas through
Gainsvillo, and their main body, which was moving
down from White Plain through Thoroughfare
Gap—the Confederate General Longstreet, who
hed passed through the Gap being driven to the
west side. Hooker's division, whilst marching
towards Manassas, came upon him in the afternoon
of the 27th, and Kettle•run, and after a sharp action
routed him completely, killing and woutding 300,
and capturing their camp.
On the 28th Pope pushed rapidly on to Manassas
Junction, which he found to have been evacuated
by Jackson three hours previously to his arrival.
Jackson retreated via Centreville, and took the
turnpike road towards Warrenton. He was met
late in the afternoon of the 28th by M‘Dowell and
Sigel, six miles west of Centreville. A severe fight
then ensued, which was terminated by darkness.
The Confederates were driven back at ail points.
Thus matters rest at present.
Heintzelmann's corps will move from Centre-
ville upon the enemy at daylight, and General.
Pope thinks they cannot escape without heavy loss.
General Pope captured 1,000 prisoners and one
piece of artillery.
Semi-official Washington despatches of the 29th
inst., report that Generals Burnside and Pope
have successfully cut their way through the enemy
towards Manassas, and have formed a junction this
side of Centreville with the army of Virginia under
General M'Clellan.

A severe engagement has occurred between
Hooker's, Summer's, and Stu rge's divisions and
the enemy, in which the latter was routed and
driven back from the vicinity of Manassas and
Bull-run, through the passes of Bull-run Moun-
tain.

War meetings continue to be held.
It is reported that the Federal Government is
very short of arms. Many troops arriving in
Washington cannot be provided for in that respect.
The Mayor of New York has requested that
the stores be closed at three in the afternoon till
the 15th of September, to give time for volunteer-
ing and drafting.
Persons have been forbidden to advertise that
they can procure substitutes. Several individuals
have been arrested for this cause.
The Federals have evacuated Baton Rouge, but
the city will not be destroyed.
President Jefferson Davis has issued an order
that Federal officers who have armed slaves against
their masters, shall, if captured, be hung.
The Great Eastern has anchored in Flushing
Bay. She struck a rock at Monbank Point, stoving
a hole in her bottom. The accident is not con-
sidered to be serious, as the shock only penetrated
the outer scale of the ship, the inner scale remain-
ing intact. The leakages are not sufficient to im-
pair her safety. Efforts will be made to repair her
at New York, but it this be found impracticable,
she will return in her present condition to England
for repairs.

NEW YORK, AUG. 30 (Evening).
(Per Anglo-Saxon, by telegraph to Father Point,

and from Londonderry.)

The second battle of Bull-ran was fought yester-
day. The following is General Pope's official re-
port :

_
" Head-quarters, Field of Battle,
" Grovedown, near Gainsville, Aug. 30.
" To Major-General Halleek, General-in-Chief at
Washington.

" We fought a terrific battle here yesterday with
the combined forces of the enemy, which lasted with
continuous fury from daylight until after dark, by
which time the enemy was driven from the field
which we now occupy.

" Our troops are too much exhausted to push
matters, but 1 shall do so in the course of the morn-
ing as soon as Fitz-John Porter's corps comes up
from Manassas.

,c The enemy is still in our front, but badly
used.
ccwe have no less than 8,000 men killed and
wounded, and from the appearance of the field the
enemy has lost two to our one. Ne stood strictly
on the defensive, and every assault was made by
ourselves.

" Our troops behaved splendidly. The battle
was fought on the inden`•.ical battle-field of Bull-
run, Which greatly increased the enthusiasm of our

men.

The news has just reached me from the front

that the enemy is retreating towards the mountains.
lat once pushed forward a reconnoitring party to
ascertain this.

" We have made great captures ; but I am not
yet able to form an idea of their extent.

(Signed) " JOHN POPE,
" Major-General Commanding."

The news of the b%ttle of Bull•run causes intense
excitement. No further details have been received.
Affairs in Kentucky are in a critical condition.
The position of the Federals at Cumberland Gap
is considered precarious.

TURIN, SEPT. 6.

The official Gazette of to-day publishes the report
of General Cialdini on the engagement at Aspro-

monte.

The report states that the instrictions given to
Colonel Pallavicino were to pursue Garibaldi unre-
mittingly it he sought to fly, to attack him if he
offered battle, and to destroy his band.
The official Gazette also publishes Colonel Pails-
vicino's report, according to which his left attacked
the Volur.teers in front, and after a brisk fire
carried the position they occupied.
The rebels were then surrounded on all sides,
and ulterior resistance was useless, At this junc-
ture they signalled the Royal troops to stop firing,
and Colonel Pallavicino sent an officer of the Staff
to summon Garibaldi to surrender. Garibaldi re •
plied he would never surrender.
The Staff••off'icer was made prisoner, as well as
another envoy subsequently sent by Colonel Palla-

vicino.

They wore, however, afterwards released.
Garibaldi requested to be allowed to embark on
board an English vessel.
Several Volunteers, when questioned, said they
knew nothing of the King's proclamation. Some
believed that all had been arranged with the
Government, while others said that Garibaldi had
deceived them.

Nicotera, Missori, and Micelli left Garibaldi on
the 28th, probably to prepare a movement
_in
another part of the province.
Colonel Pallavicino, on learning that Nicotera
and Micelli were at Bagnara, ordered them to be
arrested.

At Aspromonte three flags were found inscribed
with the words " Italy ! Emmanuel!" but not
berring the cross of Savoy, nor having the blue
riband attached.
No documents nor money were found.

THE .NE

'IIEA7 RE.

Last night the powerful Adelphi drama, "The
Flowers of the Forest," was revived. It yet num-
bers in its company several of the original per-
formers. Mr. C. J. Smith is still the gallant Cap-
tain Hugh Lavroch ; Mr. Paul Bedford is hall the
same boisterous Kinchin ; and Mrs. Mellon is still
as powerful and intense as ever in the morbid
gipsy boy Lemuel. Mrs, Billingtou sustains the
part of Cynthia, and with effect. In all respects
the piece is very well sustained, and the scenery
and effects are given in an admirable manner, so
that the Exhibition visitors may have an oppor-
tunity of seeing a real Adelphi drama on the stage
that has made them so famous.
