The news from the scat of war 10 Italy,
is of the most important aud exciting
character. The expected battle of the
Miucio has been fought, and has resulted
in the triumph Of the allied arms. The
ouly definite intelligence Of the great e.
vent is contained in despatch from tho
Emperor Of the french to the Empress, in
which be announces, with telegraphic
trevity, that battle has been fought, and
victory won. He also says that the
sbole Austrian army, formed in line OF
battle FIVE leagues in extent, was engaged,
and that the battle lasted sixteen hours
from in the morning until 8 in tho
evening. As the force Of the Austrians
on the Mincio was set down at two hum
dred and eighty thousand, some idea
may be formed Of the desperate fighting
which must have been necessary to defeat
them. A despatch from Vienna partially
confirms this intelligence. 1t states thas
battle was progressing, though with the
usual Austrian ignorance in the presence
Of reverses, no details were Known
There seems to be no room to doubt that
collision Of the frst importance has
really taken place, as the position OF the
opposing forces, day or two immediate
ly preceding the time of the alleged bat
tie, warrants the belief that such an eveDs
could not be long delayed. The Allies
had occupied Sonato. CastiglioDe and
Montechisra; the Pied montese had ad-
vanced towards Pesehiera, and the recon :
naissance had been pushed as far as
Cote. The forces were thus face to face t.
A sanguinary collision is said to have
taken place between some Swiss soldiers
of the Pope and the inhabitants Of Peru
gia, rising of whom the former had been
sent to suppress. The citizens were shot
down indiscriminately. 1t is announced
that Prussia was about to move an army
to the Rhine. 1t was believed that her
offer of mediation would be rejected By
France.

The weather was remarkably favorable
for the occasion, Icing very cool though

directly in the faces OF the speakers, ren-

speak so as to be heard distinctly By the
large audience.
The procession was formed at the sp-
poiuted time in front of the Court House
and, accompanied by the two excellent
hands of Music, of which Stroudsburg
can boast, proceeded to the grove; where
after prayer, and the reading of the
Declaration of Independence, addresses
were delivered BY SAMUEL S. DREHER
