before the steamers sailing, owing to the excess Of
stock thrown into the market for immediate trans

the French President and his Ministry. Consols

Market was remarkably easy. Discounts were
easily obtained. American securities were brisk,
with considerable sales az from 9to 81 premium

Paris, but they do not speak with confidence as to
the permanent decline of the disease. Since it

that the reports are by no means complete.

from Germany. 1t says
The news we have day received from the scene
of war, is extremely favorable for the cause of the
Magyars. The great battle which we before con-
jectured would take place on the l4th or 18th of
June, near Hochsuass is now said 10 have come
off at that very place and time. A number of let
ters have reached us from Vienna, aud all agree as
10 the following particulars 4" On the morning of
June IA, there began along the whole line on the
right bank of the Danube, from WieselbuFg to the
Lake of Nauseida, general battle between the
armies Of the Russians and Austrians there en-.
camped, and the Magyars. The struggle was dis
iinguished by Unheard Of fury on both Sides lasted
sixty-four hours without interruption, and ended
with the most complete defeat Of the Imperial
dIAuoa. Wbnty- tutcb buOuSduu AQStfduS and
Russians, aud eight thousand Hungarians lay dead
on the battle field. The Imperialists lost their
whole artillery, and turning in wild disarrav, fled
IN The ERECTION of Vienna, followed bv the hoty
pursuing Magyar hussars. On the Hungarian side
Gen. Arthur Gorgy and Gen. Guyon commanded /;
the Imperial forces We're led by Lieut. Field Marshal
Iiaynan and the Russian Gen Rndiger." These
words were taken from letter which has lust
reached us from Vienna, and another letter lust
shown us from great clearinghouse of the same
city, is almost verbatim 10 tbs same purpon sOnr
regular Vienna correspondent, as well as our cor
respondent at Presburg, from both of whom we
ha' g received letters mp to the 10th, give us no
news whatever IN relation to this important battle,
except that on the l4th, the continuous thunder Of
cannon was heard in the direction Of Raab, aud
that the report Di great defeat Of the Impsrasts
was circulating at Vienna We must, however
say in regard to this that for time past all ouI
letters from Presburg have been opened, and when
/ they contained news untavorable TO the Imperial
cause suppressed. For this reason our correspon.
dent writes with all possible caution, and for the
most part forwards his letters by Travellers whereby
! they often do not reach us until they have become
