AUSTRIA.

The Breslau) Gazette confirms the account of the
defeat of the united armies of Au,tria and Ru,sia on
the 14th and 15th. The battle took place on the left
bank of the Danube, in the plain betwe.n Wes-elburg
and Raab, and lasted sixty-four hours. The llun-
gariaeg were commanded by Generals Arthur
Georgey and Guyon, and the Imperialists by Hayti=
and Rudiger. 23,000 Austrians and Russians, and
6000 Hungarians, were killed. Field-Marshal
b(thlick and several other officers of high rank were
taken by the Magyars. The rout was complete. The
Austro-Russian army fled from the field in complete
disorder, followed to the frontiers by clouds of Hus-
sars and Ciskos, who cut up the fugitives -wherever
they overtook them.

FRANCE.

The Cerelp Constitutionnel, lately presided over by
M. Dufaure, has, on the occasion of its reorganizing
itself and appointing new officers, published a manifesto
explanatory of the principles by which it is actuated.
The following are the principal passages :
" The first sentiment (says the document) under the
Empire of which the members of this reunion have as-
sembled is the firm determination to maintain the Con-
stitution. Most of them neither created nor wished for
the Republic, but all have frankly accepted it, and, with-
out any arriere pensee, desire to preserve it. They do
not confine themselves to merely according to it their
acquiescence, they mean to afford it their firm co-
operation. In their eyes it is not sufficient not to be
hostile to it, but it is important to aid and serve it. A
Government is badly supported when it is only tole-
rated, and people are very ready to abandon it when
they declare it impossible, and keep for another their de-
sires and their hopes. The hopes and desires of the
members of the Cercle are for the Republic and for its
firm establishment. They do not deceive themselves with
regard to the imperfections which the Constitution may
)resent; but'such as it is, it appears to them, if honestly
executed, to offer all the essential conditions of a
good Government; and being opposed to impatient
wishes for an immediate revision, they do not admit
that the Constitution can be modified except according
to the forms arid at the time the Constitution has itself
prescribed. Any irregular change would re-open
to all parties the path of revolution. But, whilst
they sincerely and firmly wish for the maintenance
c,f the Constitution, the members of the Cercle do
not admit that, under pretext that it is violated by the
great powers of the State, the country can be thrown, as
it has just been, into the perils and horrors of civil war.
They str-ongly condemn such wild and criminal enter-
prises; all applaud the triumph of order; they will not
refuse to the Government anything that may be neces-
sary for it to defend society; they will only stop at the
point at which resistance would become reaction; and
then, in restraining the Government, they would believe
that they still aided it."

Referring to Socialism, the mani.esto expresses
itself as follows :

"It is not such or such a form of government that this
Utopian theory attacks, but society itself—all society.
But at the same time that they are convinced of this
truth, the members of the Cercle Constitutionnel have
another conviction ; they believe that the first condition
of success for the cause of order is that the combat shall
be always openly sustained in the name of and for the
Republic. Society and order,' it is alleged, must
first be saved, the Republic and the Constitution can
next be looked to.' But that is a bad way of stating
the question I The first condition of order is the
maintenance of the Constitution—the first condi-
tion of force is the power of the Republic. Force
derived from the Republic and the Constitution
can alone save society. Many adversaries of the So-
cialist doctrines sincerely believe that the only means of
putting them down is to crush it by force. The mem-
bers of the Cercle Consitutionnel are fully of opinion
that no violence should remain unrepressed, and that
and that no bad propagandism should exist without one
in opposition to it; but they, at the same time, think that
there exists another and better plan of triumphing
over it, and that is to labour seriously and con-
stantly for.the cure of social evils. Socialism is a Utopian
scheme ; but social miseries are not chimerical. The
greatest crime, perhaps, of Socialism is to set forth impos-
sible remedies for serious evils, and by its impuissance to
cause evils, which it is the duty of society to relieve
if not to cure, to be considered incurable. The best sen-
tence to pass on it is to oppose sound and useful reali-
ties to its wild Utopian ideas, and to prove that for
all the cruel sufferings which it only knows how to
envenom there exist not only true and profound
sympathies, but sure alleviations or effi:acious remedies."
The document concludes as follows, with a decla-
ration of its intention to support the present Govern-
ment:—

" Profoundly convinced that in such times as ours the
weakness of the Government is a great evil, and its force
a necessity, the members of the Cercle Con3titutionnel
have Dist constituted an opposition meeting. They
have, &dm the first, declared positively, and they
again declare their firm determination to afford to
the President of the Republic and his Ministry frank
and independent support. Sincere co-operation on
et their rt is assured to the Government, and
precis 'because they would not hesitate to warn it
frankly its errors by their counsels, and it necessary
even by their vo:es, they will confer on it greater
strength by their conscientious adhesion."

MINING TELL IGEN CE.
(From the Mining Journal.)
During the past few days there has been a manifest
improvement in the share market, and many shares have
changed hands, especially in some of the leading and im-
proving mines.
Improvements have been reported in lleigrston
Downs, Alfred Consols, and Mary Ann, and shares
have, consequently, been in demand at met. quota-
tions, and in the latter especially an advance has taken
place.

Camborne consols have been done at our present quo-
tations, in anticipation of some important improvement
being near at hand.

The directors in Tamar Consols, at their meeting, yes-
terday, declared a dividend of 10 per cent. Tincroft is
represented to be looking remarkably well; 430 tuns of
copper ore were sampled on Wednesday, the next will be
considerably more. In Esgair Lli and Cwtn Erfin
large number of shares have found buyers, and the mines
are represented to be progressively improving, and will
evidently, from present prospects, become permanent

mines.
The Welsh lead mines are stated to be generally in a
very productive position, and some important discoveries
are fully anticipated at Court Grange Mines (formerly
Cefn).
At the Stray-park and Camborne Vean meeting the
accounts show the returns for the four months ending
April, at 3,797/. SL, giving a profit of 6301. 183. ld.;
balance in hand, 1,252/. I la. 7d. A dividend of 103. per
share was declared, leaving credit of 7521. 1 ls. 7d. to
next account. The agent's report of the present and
future prospects of the mine are highly encouraging; but
the present low standard precludes the possibility of
givinr, large profits.
At the Condurrow meeting, a dividend of 31. per share
was declared; the balance in hand is 691. The manager's
report is highly satisfactory. The 80 fm, level has im-
proved, and the lode is now worth 501. per fm. for tin.
The 70 east is worth 151. per fm. for copper, and the 30
east is also worth 15/. per fm.; the pitches are working
at a favourable tribute to the company, and the mine
generally is looking well.
At the Wheal Seton meeting, the accounts show a
profit of 2381. 153. 11d. on MArch and April workings,
which, with balance from last account, gives a credit of
4071. 193. 4d. carried to next account. The prospects of
the mine have considerably improved since the last
meeting. The north taunter presents prospects of early
improvement, the stopes over the end producing 15 tons
of ore to the fathom. The 80 end is producing 8 tons,
and the stopes in the- back 12 tons per fathom. The
stopes in the back of the 70, on the south part of the
lode, are turning out 11 tons; the n firth part of the lode,
whieh is not being taken away, will produce 6 tons more.
The other levels and stopes are also productive, turning
out 3 and 4 tons per fathom. A number of pitches in
the various levels are worked on tribute, highly favour-
able to the adventurers. A great deal of dead work has
been completed, and a charge of 5002, caused by the
erection of the new steam-whim and crusher, is included
in the above costs ; and, notwithstanding the decline in
,the standard, the mine will shortly be in a position of
resuming her dividends.
At the Lelant Consols meeting, the accounts for four
months, ending April, were audited, and a profit of
409/. 2s. 7d. shown to have been realised. The agent
reports the trine to be now in a position of becoming
permanent,
although the present decline in thAerapdriiteioenof..
tin militates much against her returns.
force is being put on thlt part of the mind which is sup-
posed posed to contain the valuable lodes of Wheal Margaret.
At the East Pool meeting the accounts for April and
May showed—Costs and merchants' bills, 1,1461. ls. 8.d.;
by ores sold, 1,1041. 23. 10d.; leaving a balance against
the adventurers of 41/. las. 10d.
At the Trevean meeting, the accounts showed balance
in favour of company, 55/. 17s. 11d., after deducting the
debit from last account. By the death of Lady Car-
rington, the lease falls into the hands of her succes-
sor; and 'a committee was framed to negotiate with the
present proprietor for a new lease, the company pledg-
ing themselves to erect a steam-engine, and sink the
shaft to the depth of 40 fms.

At the Tre;valden Mine meeting, a balance of 1671.
63. 2d. appeared in favour of the company. From the
highly promising petition of this mine, supported by
the strong recommendation of their intelligent agent,
the meeting resolved tnat a steam-engine be immediately
erected, fur the purpose of affording an efficient trial, to
meet which a call of 21. per share was deemed necessary.
At the Tremayne meeting the accounts showed ba-
lance in hand of 313/. Bs. 7d. The fall in the market
prices of tin and copper has made a difference in the
receipts-within th`h mor.th to the extent of 5001.
Dispatches were received yesterday from the Real del
Monte, Bolanos, and,United Mexican Mining Companies.

of M Bolanos adviees are to the 4th
May, In the
El te Mine there has been nothing discovered of any
importance, hut considerable exploratory works have
been carried on, an engine erected, which performs well,
and other surface work completed. In Celestina an im-
provement of such interest had taken place, as to pre-
vent, at least for the time, the abandonment of the mine.
The directors' report states that further subscriptions
will be required to carry on the works.

The advices fr,433 the United Mexican are to:7th May.

THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette.)
THE COAST OF AFRICA CORRESPONDENCE.—Great
complaints exist on the coast of Africa respecting letters
and papers forwarded monthly by ships-of-war from
England. Some stringent Admiralty order on the sub-
ject would render an essential benefit to those serving
there. There is a recent instance of one ship-of-war
communicating with another, and nearly parting com-
pany again before recollecting that she had a bag of let-
ters to deliver. We know that in some stations this sub-
ject receives the greatest attention on board the flag
ships.
PRESIDENCY OF THE ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL.---We
understand that Rear-Admiral Bowles, C. 8., M.P., has
withdrawn his letter of resignation, and has consented
to continue President of the Royal Naval School.
The Admiralty have ordered not only the Royalist,
now in the East Indies, but the Adelaide, intended as a
steam-tug for Port Adelaide, to proceed to the Cape,
and there to be employed as tenders to the Commodore's

ship.
It is reported that Captain Charles Fremantle, who
paid off the Albion, 90, last year, after a short period of
service in her, will again be appointed to the command of
that ship.
THE CANADA COMMAND.--.The command of the
forces in Canada is to be divided between Major-
General W. Rowan, and Lieutenant-General Sir John
Harvey—the former to have the rank (local) and pay of
a Lieutenant-General on the Staff; and the latter, in ad-
dition to his government, and also the pay of a Lieu-
tenant-General on the staff—by this arrangement a sav-
int.; will accrue to the public.
THE HONG-KONG COMMAND.—A reduction is about
to take place in the military establishment at Hong-
Kong. It is to cease to be a Major-General's command,
and to be placed under that of a Colonel on the Staff. It
is rumoured that Colonel Trevor, 59th, is likely to be
selected for the appointment.
CHATHAM GARRISON.—We regret to announce that
Lieutenant-Colonel Weare, K. 11., commanding the Pro-
visional Battalion, has been attacked with serious illness,
which has confined him to his bed since Sunday last.

VANCOUVER'S ISLAND.—The Hudson's Bay Company
have submitted to the consideration of the Government
the expediency of allowing Pensioners to emigrate to
this colony, to be formed for service under Staff Offi-
cers in the manner adopted in the emigration to New
Zealand.

The Land Service Practice Battery, ordered to be con-
structed outside Fort Cumberland, for the Royal Marine
Artillery, is not to be commenced until after the next
official visit of the Lords of the Admiralty to Portsmouth.
TROOPS IN THE TROPICS.—We noticed some short time
since that a Board of Officers had been ordered to as-
semble to investigate and report as to the best means of
providing sanitary accommodation for troops in the West
Indies. It has recommended the use of hospital mar-
quees for sanitary encampments, which are, on all occa-
sions, to be double, with an interspace of eighteen or
twenty inches, judiciously ventilated along the ridges.
Each marquee is to accommodate not more than twelve
men with bedsteads, which will give a space of nearly
five feet for every bedstead, and between the two ranks
of bedsteads, by night, four feet, and, when turned up by
day, ten feet, thus allowing ample room for tables, forms,
&c. This arrangement will entail a trifling additional
expense, but the recommendation has been fully ap-
proved of both by the Ordnance and other military autho-
rities, and instncions issued immediately to have it car-
ried into effect. The marquees are on all occasions to be
boarded when such is deemed necessary by the medical
Officers. To meet the great objection also which is well
known to exist on the part of soldiers to go into an hos-
pital, more especially during the prevalence of an epi
(tunic, hospital marquees are to be provided in the
proportion of one to every 100 men, for those who
have such objection. The above arrangements we
think very judicious, and such as we were led to
expect when we observed the constitution of the Board.
Ahhough great sticklers for a wise economy of the
public money, still we feel assured that a trifling,
indeed, any reasonable, expense would be readily
acceded to by every rightly-constituted mind, wh:ch has
fur its object to allay the fearful mortality which at
times take place in tropical climates, and which, no far-
ther back than last year, decimated the ranks of the 66th
and:72d Regiments at Barbadoes.

STAFF OFFICERS OF PENSIONERS.—Captain Christie
having been removed from Taunton to the newly-created
division of Deptford, London district, Captain Donelan
has been appointed to succeed him at the former place,
and Major Farmer, from Stockport, is to go to Armagh
in place of Captain Donelan. Captain Story, of the 38th
Regiment, is appointed to Stockport.
ARMY IN IRELAND. —Exercise and 13111 practice
ground has been hired at the following stations for the
use of the troops, viz.:—Belfast, Belturbet, Naas, Ne-
nagh, Enniskillen, Armagh, and Cork.
