PEARE. It -was through study of the latter, when '
shut up in an Austrian dungeon (for the Bible he
had known before) that KOSSUTH himself learned
to love our language and our institutions, and to
attain his marvellous eloquence in this tongue of
ours, so difficult to a foreigner. And, if we want to
form the minds of educated Indian youth to a just
appreciation of our national, moral, an:► social
standard, we say put into their hands the book to
whose authority any Englishman bows at once
and without question in all matters of religion ;
and put also into his hand the book full of the de-
velopment of English ideas in every imaginable
sphere of life, and you will do your best for him.
Education cannot be given up—cannot be put
back in India. We must go on to educate. The
simplest European education we can give them
overthrows their creed ; and it is absolutely im-
possible that they should learn our astronomy, our
geography, our chemistry, and our science gene-
rally and remain believers in the Koran or the
Shasters. We must, therefore, destroy their old
creed, whether we wish it or not, by education
merely, and it certainly cannot be right or safe to
leave boys and lads to grow up with no check
whatever from belief in some religious principles.
Altogether we must think Sir JOHN and the other
two great men to whom we have referred are quite
right. The future security of our empire must
ultimately depend on a better understanding be-
tween the governors and the governed, and that
will not take place until they understand what we
are as a Christian nation.

TURIN, JUNE 27, 11.55 P.M.

Order of the day of the Emperor Napoleon to his
soldiers published at Cavriana on the 25th inst :
" The enemy, who believed themselves able to
repulse us from the Chiese, recrossed the Mincio.
You have worthily defended the honour of France.
Solferino surpasses the recollection of Lonato and
Castiglione. In twelve hours you have repulsed
the efforts of 150,000 men. Your enthusiasm did
not rest there. The numerous artillery of the
enemy occupied formidable positions over three
leagues. Your country thanks you for your courage
and your perseverance, and laments the fallen. We
have taken three flags, 30 cannon, and 6,000 pri-
soners. The Sardinian army fought with the same
valour against superior forces, and worthy is that
army to march beside you. Blood has not been
shed in vain for the glory of France and the hap-
piness of the peoples."
Count Cavour has returned this evening to Turin
from the camp.

THE EMPEROR TO THE EMPRESS.
CAVRIANA, JUNE 26, 11.55 A.M.
The Austrians, who had crossed the Mincio to
attack us with the whole of their army, have been
compelled to abandon their positions and retire to
the left bank of the river.
They have blown up the bridge of Goito.
The loss of the enemy is very considerable ; ours
is much inferior. We have taken 30 pieces of
cannon, three flags, and captured more than 7,000
prisoners.

General Niel and his corps, as well as the entire
army, have covered themselves with glory.
General Auger has lost an arm.
The Sardinian army, which occupied the extreme
left of our position, inflicted severe losses on the
enemy, after having contended with great obsti-
nacy against superior numbers.
The Moniteur adds that the battle of the 24th
of June is to bear the name of " the Battle of Sol-
ferino."

PARIS, JUNE 27

A message from Cavriana announces that on the
day of battle, the 24th inst., the Emperor was con-
stantly in the hottest fire.

General Larrey, who accompanied the Emperor,
had his horse killed ; two horses of the escort of the
Cent Gardes were also killed.

The dangers which the Emperor ran increased
still more the enthusiasm and daring of our sol-

diers.

VIENNA, JUNE 27

The Austrian Correspondence of this evening con-
tains the following :
" The Emperor will soon return to Vienna on ac-
count of important Government business.
"The Command•in-Chief of the army, which is
preparing for a new battle, is given to General
Hess."

BERNE, JUNE 27,

A detachment of Chassenrs des Alpes, commanded
by Major Medici, has occupied the Pass of Totale,
between the Val Canonica and the Tyrol.

The progress of events has since brought the mo-
ment nearer for realising it. If the authority of
Prussia, her resolutions, and her action are to be
protected in the crisis in which Europe is at pre-
sent placed, it is necessary that she should
comprehend in time what the situation imposes on
her. The Franco-Sardinian army is now in
the neighbourhood of the German frontier. The
Prussian Government has several times de-
clared, with the assent of the Chambers, that it
considers the security of Germany as confided to its
care. The Italian conflict every day extends more
and more, and assumes wider proportions. England
and Russia, although at a greater distance, are
making considerable armaments. Where is the
Prussian who would wish that in presence of such
circumstances Prussia should remain in an ex-
pectant position ? The Prussian Government
would fail in its duty towards the nation if it
were not to act in conformity with the spirit to
which the country owes her grandeur. Prussia is
free from any engagement. She only obeys obli-
gations resulting from the very nature of her in-
terests as a State. The Prussian Government
would misunderstand the bases which constitute
her force if it were to act in opposition to the na-
tional movement. The interests of Germany are at
the same time those of Prussia, and it will be soon
seen whether the initiative assumed by Prussia will
be supported by the States and by the populations
of Italy with that force which its execution de-
mands. These populations are animated with a
desire to acquire in Europe the importance due to
a great natiion so richly endowed by nature.
Prussia is ready to throw the weight of Germany
into the balance which is to decide events. The
Government relies on the patriotism of the Prus-
sian and the German people. Its policy is firm ;
those who seek to throw impediments in the way
of its progress ought to reflect that by so doing
they render service to the enemies of the country."
The National Gazette of Munich, under date of
the 21st, states that the troops intended to be
called into active service will be concentrated pro-
visionally between Nuremberg and Wurtzburg.
Their ulterior destination will depend on the mea-
sures taken by Prussia, and it is to inquire respect-
ing the intentions of this latter Power that Gen.
de Tann, aide-de-camp to the King, has gone to
Berlin. The New Prussian Gazette says :—" In
addition to the Bavarian General de Tann, the
Hanoverian General Sicherz has arrived here on a
politico-military mission, and other federal officers
are expected. The rumour that Bavaria had raised
objections to the passage of Prussian troops through
her territory is not correct."

The Monitore Toscano of the 24th announces
that the Neapolitan Consul-General at Leghorn,
having announced his intention of recognising the
authenticity of the acts emanating from the Tuscan
Government, has been reinstated in the exercise of
his functions. The same paper publishes the fol-
lowing official note :
" A despatch addressed by the British Minister
Plenipotentiary at Florence to the Earl of Malmes-
bury, dated the 2d of June, and published in the
Times of the 18th, gives an account of a conversa-

tion between that diplomatist and the undersigned.
The undersigned regrets that in the account of this
conversation, addressed to his Government, Mr.
Scarlett, no doubt led into error by an imperfect
recollection of what had passed, should have attri-
buted to him opinions which he does not entertain,
and expressions which he never uttered; the under-
signed having simply declared that to the causes
which render a restoration of the dynasty of Lor-
raine in Tuscany impossible there must also be
added its having taken refuge in Austria, and
remained there permanently.
