ence 10 the results of those stirring times upon
the great North West. During the day the

about $1,000.
The latest news from the seat OF the Italian
war reached here this morning by telegraph, ana
are of the highest Importance, though very mea'
gre. Since the great battle of Magenta, where
from 80 to a., 900 persisted by the fortunes oil
war. there ha. only been small skirmishlng De-
tween the advanced guard Of each army until
the 23d or 18th of June. In the mean time the
Austrian forces under the personal lead OF Fran
els Joseph, had been retiring across the river
Mincio To the strongly fortified towns OF Mantua,
Verona. &c, and waited the advance OF the al
lies. The brief account states that the Austrian
army. To the immense number OF 10000, had
form formed fighting line of five leagues, or
fifteen miles in length, when the allies approach
ed. and engaged them in their strong holds, on
Friday June ~. The following dispatch from
the Emperor Napoleon to the Empress at Paris
i the extent Of the information We have Of the
result:
"Cairiana, near Volta, Friday Evening.
Great Battle-Great Victory, The whole
Austrian army formed line OF battle extending
five leagues in length We have taken all the
cnemv's positions, and captured many cannons,
flags and prisoners. The battle lasted from four
in the morning till eight in the evening.
A dispatch TO Paris from Vienna supplies
partial confirmation of the above, in saying that
great battle was progressing, but no details
had been received The last dispatch to London
reported heavy cannonading at Verona, SO that
very likely the battle was not concluded when
-'apo'rUn WIZ, a,.I the above
Ii will be seen that Napoleon claims a victory
but for the important details, including the num-
Der enjoyed, the lost and wounded and prisoners,
we MIST wait another arrival. Ii is likely that
in the battle.
1t has been predicted that this great battle,
which it was known must take place As soon as
the two armies met where they have, would ter
inmate the struggle, if the allies were victorious ;
but for one do not look upon it in this light.
The surging clements are spreading over new
ground, and Austria is powerful Nation, with a
countless number of soldiers and not yet sub
dued by a long shot. 1t is very evident, howe
Yer that she must eventually retire from Italy.
Kos.uth has left England for Genoa to assist
in stirring up a revolution and rebellion in Hun
gary, and in connection with this, Prussia has
demanded permission TO march 81 200 troops
through Hanover to the Rhine to assist in sup
pressing the Hungarian insurrectIon. ID, ,his
step, there is no longer much doubt that Prussia
is fairly engaged in the contest. The Roman
States, too are getting very uneasy and think
this is favorable chance to shake off the OPP
pressive yoke of the Romish Priesthood and
Church. God speed them ia their effort.
Not long since at Perugia, the people attempt
ed to raise the tri-coored flag, but the Austrian
troops interieared, with the Pope's soldiers, TO
prevent it, The Swiss troops were sent from
Rome TO suppress the attempt, and had desper.
ate encounter with the people, whom they shot
down indiscriminately. A report reached Ven
ice that the French had landed at Padua, and
that Venice would be surrendered in three days
Though Venice is on the Adriatic Sea in Aus
TRAN Lombardy and close adjoining the Papa
States proper, the report so thrilled the people
with the hope of delivercnce from Austrian and
Popish misrule, that they began to mount their
cOckades with Italian colors, and crowds gather
ed in frost of the Austrian houses and begun to
hiss and make demonstrations of contempt for
their rulers
The Austrian patrol were ordered out but
with intructions not to fire on the people, if they
could subdue them otherwise; but being recei-
we'd with insulting remarks, they made an a,tcck
upon the mob with the butts Of their muskets,
and finally cleared the street
The report that some of the people were
killed by the military is not confirmed.
The Sandman official bulletin of the affair at
Perugia, between the people and the Papal
troops, states that the Swiss troops attacked the
town on the Goth and met with great resistance,
but after three hours fighting they forced an
entrance TO the town.
The combat was then renewed in the streets
and continued for two hours longer The Swiss
troops tJampled down and killed even women
and inoffensive persons
On the next day the outrages and firing upon
the people was recommended ard the town was
placed in a state of siege.
The Indications are that the down trodden and
priest ridden people will SNAKE Rome ho,cl"
'oOn. Alvices from that city say an attempt
vas made there on Sunday TO display the tri-col.
bred flag and proclaim the Dictatorship of Victor
Emanuel, but Governor Goyan interfered 10 pre-.
vent.
The Pope has notified his protest againr the
