France adhercs to the abolition of prva
tccring, and that a neutral flag covers The
enemy's goods.
1t is reported that Gen. Gyulai had SEN
word to the Austrian government that The
supply of provisions were beginning to fai
lin Piedmont, and that he would be unable
to retain the position they occupied more
than ten days
( The French Government has received in
Formation that four Russian corps d'armeC
had moved towards the Austrian frontier
\ A Norwegian bark bound to Venice had
been stopped by French frigate and in
formed that oil Austrian ports, except
Trieste and Ancono, were blockaded.
A French fleet was before Venice, and
had already captured twenty vessels.
The London Times correspondent in the
Austrian camp says that naval attack on
Venice would have no chance Of success,
every channel to the port being quite
blockaded by sunken vessels, and ships la
den with stores were lying close by, ready
to be sunk at few minutes notice, and
thus close up the small remaining passages.
Guns of large calibre are placed in positions
to command the channels thus obstructed.
The Paris correspondent of the Times
says that the French squadron is not to
attack Venice, but merely TO blockade the
port for the present. The London Post,
in an article declaring that the passage of
the Ticino by the French and Sandman
armies would be the signal for an European
alliance, and the march of the Austrian
troops on Paris, says also that Russia is to
join Austria, and her reward for what
looks like treachery is to be the cession of
Moldovia and WaIlachia.
The shipping interest of Great Britain is
greatly agitated as to the conveyance of
articles contraband of war. Lord Mains
bury, in his recent reply to special inquiry,
says that the neutrality proclamation was
not intended to prohibit the expectation of
coal or other articles, but he warned the
subjects of Great Britain that they do not
carry for the use of either one of the bel
ligercnts articles which are contraband, as
the Government will not interfere in their
behalf in case Of capture.
An imperial decree Of Austria increases

Nine Days Later From Europe,
THE AUsTR1ANs DEFEATED.

We have news from Europe up to juno
lst, tclegraphed to New Orleans.
The news is Of great Importance, and
announces the first important blow in Italy
The Allied and the Austrian forces have
met aud the latter defeated. The battle
took place at Monticello, a town in Aus
trian Italy. The Austrans were $4,000
strong and made the attack, and after q
severe engagement were obliged to retreat.
The allied army lost 700, while the Austri-
an loss is estimated ut 1000 A number
Of Austrians had been captured and taken
prisoners to Marseiles.
Monticello is small village in Pied

ueOusly stated in the Encyclopedia Ameri-
cana that this is The Monticello where
Lannes distinguished himself As the ac-
counts by the arrival are purely French,
they should be received with some grains
of allowance until we learn the Austrian
reports.
The battle Of Montebello took place on
the 2lst of May The Austriaus, who
we're commanded by General Stadion
attacked the posts of Gen. BaFagua d'Hil
liers. They were driven back by General
Forey's division, after furious combat
which lasted four hours. The Allies cor
ried Montebello, bnt did not pursue the
Austrians. Two hundred Austrians, incln
ding a Colonel, were captured and taken
to Marseilles. The Austrians were is, ,00C

Wagon Road over lhe Cascade Mountains

Editor Pioneer and Democrat:
DEAR SR:-If you will give publicity tc
the following, It may be Of some interest L
the readers Of your valuable paper a'
Fer some years past, have thought
that there surely was a pass by which a
wagon-road could be made across the Cas-
cade Mountains, south Of Mount Rainier,
notwithstanding the reports to the contra
ry by Government explorers To satisfy
my own curiosity, in July, 1858, l determ-
ined to take a tramp to these Mountains
and see for myself. Accordingly set ont
accompanied by Messrs j. Shelton o.
Yelm prairie, and Henry Cock Of Olympia
We were afterwards joined by Mr.. Long.
myre, of Yelm, and Californian by the
name of Osburn-increasing our party tc
five in number. We Travelled one day and
half up the Nisqually valley, above the
South Fork. Here Messrs. Shelton and
Cock turned back,-the other three Of US
continued on up the valley, until we came
near Mount Rainier, when provisions aud
legs being pretty well exhausted, we de
termed to 60 no further. Here we camped
for the night. During the afternoon, Mr.
Longmyre and myself, still unsatis6ed, as
sended high peak, close by, from which
we were enabled to see across the divide
and into the lower country to the eastward
From this view we became satisfied that
an easy grade could be found for wagon
road from the western base TO the summit
of the mountains.
This, in connection with information re
ceived from Messrs. G.. @. BiaRkenship and
Whitfield Kirtley, who had previously ex
plored the eastern slope Of these mountains
gave rise to the establishment, by the last
Legislature, of a Territorial road from The
Yelm prairie, in Thurston county, to the
Nah Chess river, where the military road
leaves the same, going eastward; and the
appointment Of james LOngmyre, G.. @
Blankenship aud myself, commissioners, tc
view and mark out route for said road
1t was also provided that we were not to
receive any pay for said service, except by
private subscription from the citizens who
feel themselves interested therein; but We
were not disposed to call on the citizens tC
defray our expenses on uncertainties, hence
We determined to go and explore the route
again before entering on our official duties
Accordingly, on the 18th of June, last
Messrs Longmyre, Kirtley and myself left
the Yelm prairie for that purpose-carry
ing our blankets, provisions, cooking uten
ellis, aud firearms on our own backs, "a
pretty hard job, too and after an eighi
days travel we found ourselves on a stream
flowing into the valley of the Ma Ches!
river, some three or four miles up >thI
stream from where it opens out into thu
valley. This stream is about 40 feet Wild
aud two feet deep, though it will be mucl
