Another Terrible Battle.

The steamer Adelaide, from Galway, with
dates to the 18th ultimo had arrived at St.
Johns on Thursday. The news-boat of the
Associated Press also boarded off Cape Race,
on Sunday, the steamer Vigo, from Cork, having
the passengers and mails of the steamer City Of
Baltimore, which sailed from Liverpool on the
22d for New York, via Cork, but, having dam
aged her propeller, was compelled to return.
The Vigo's dates are also to the 18th.
The aavices by this arrival are highly i'm
portant.
The Emperor Napoleon had teegraphed to
the Empress on Friday evening that another
terrible battle had been fought, and a great
victory achieved. The whole Austrian army
was formed in line of battle, extending dis
lance of five leagues. The battle lasted from
o'clock in the morning till o'clock P. NJ.
The French took many flags and cannons and
numerous prisoners.
The dispatch announcing this important
event was sent to the Empress at Paris and
was dated, according to the telegraph, from
Gambia" which doubtless means Candelo, a
town on the east side of the Mincio, within the
stragetic quadrangle, and directly south of Villa
Franco, where, at last accounts, Francis Joseph
had concentrated his entire army, said to be
23o,000 strong. The French Emperor states
that the whole Austrian force was engaged, ex-
a
leagues; that the terrible conflict lasted from
4 clock In the morning until 8 in the evening,
and that the result was decisive victory and
the capture of cannon, flags, and prisoners.
From this brief account, (which is dated the
evening of the oath ultimo,) it would appear
that the first great battle on the Mincio was as
important and terrific In its character as was
anticipated. The news of this action is con-
hrmed by dispatches received at Vienna,
though neither it's details nor results are given
in the Austrian accounts Probably 400, 900
men, altogether, took part in the battle.
There was an important omission in Napo-
Icons dispatch, announcing his last battle, as
telegraphed from Cape Race. The Emperor
says :" We have taken all the enemy IS positions,
captured many cannons," &c.
A Vienna dispatch says the battle was still
progressing at the last accounts.
No details had been received
A previous account from the seat of war said
the Austrian force on the Mincio was fully
100000 strong. The entire French force had
passed Monte Chiaro, and their reconnaissance
was said to have been pushed as far as Gaeto.
The Pledmontese troops had advanced to-
wards Peschiera
Napoleon had demanded permission to march
with thirty thousand troops through Hanover to
the Rhine.
1t was believed that the bases of the proposed
mediation of Prussia would not be acceptable
to France, thereby involving Prussia in the
war.
1t was also rumored that Prussia had threat
ened to assist In suppressing the meditated in
surrectionary movements in Hungary.
The Swiss troops sent from Rome to suppress
the rising at Perugia had desperate encoun-
ter with the people, shooting them down inds-
criminately.
The latest accounts from Italy say there had
been no battle. The allies had occupied So
nato, Castiglione, and Monte Chiaro
Napoleon had joined the camp.
The Austrian Government had formally de-
clared that the cruelties attributed to General
Urban in Count Cavour's proclamation were
entirely unfounded
The Paris bourse had declined
