The Austrians and French assisted each other in
burying the dead at Monticello. Not the least
luminosity was displayed by either party.
The chiefs of the Prussian corps d'GrHss have
received orders to grant furloughs to a certain
nUtnber OF men belonging to the reserve. The
fact seems to prove that Prussia has no idea Of
abandoning her present expectant attitude:
Hundred of laborers have been engagedin COM
pleting the ornaments and walls Of the Prussian
fortress facing the frontiers Of Russia.
IL has been observed that many Of the exiled
Poles lately pardoned by the Emperor of ussia
did not avail themselves of the permission to re-
turn but preferred entering the ranks of French or
PiedmOntese army.
The Augsburg Gazette consoles itself for the
defeat OF Magenta by affirming that this combat

without being morally OF physically weakened.

Among the wounded in the personal staff along

A Paris correspondent of the London Globe
writing on the 9th of June, says: private letter
from the field informs that since the active
work began, Napoleon Ill knocks up two horses
every day, being in the saddle from four in the

n SICKLEs AFFAIR--Mr. John Howard, re-
spectacle citizen Of Minneapolis, Minnesota, some
time last month returned home and found man
named Saell in his bedroom, &c. A scufie ell
sued, Howard attacking Shell with knife, but
thu woman interfering in some manner permitted
Smell TO escape unframed. Howard immediately
ordered his guilty wife TO pack up her effects and
sent her home to her father house, In Chzutauque
county, New York. In the meantime Howard
publicly gave notice To Smell and his friends that
he should slay him at sight Smell very prudently
kept out of the way until Tuesday morning last,
when Howard caught sight of him at the corner
Of Washington avenue aud Helen street, and i'm
mediately commenced firing at hun. Smell ran
into store, pursued by Howard, who put three
balls into him before he gained the security of
the cellar, where he ensconced himself. Howard
ran from door to door Of the store to get chance
for another shot but Shell not appearing. he was
taken away by his friends. The balls were ex-
tr1cted, aud Smell was at last accounts wavering
between life and death. The parties had BEEN
friends and lived on the most intimate terms.

AMERICAN VOLUNTEERS FOR MExIco.-The
Washington correspondent of an Atlantic pa
per writes as follows, in regard to the move
ment said to be on foot having for its Object
the raising of ten thousand volunteers to aid
the Liberal cause in Mexico:
1t is believed that very extensive mill
tary and financial movement is now on foot
in this country, with the purpose of uniting
in plan for the regeneration Of Mexico
About ten thousand men have already been
enrolled as Knight Crusaders of the Order
of the Montezumas." Funds and munitions of
war have been, or will be fully provided for
the enterprise. Loans based on the gener-
osity of an adequate American firm will be
taken, and by British bondholders. The re.
sources of Mexico under stable government
would be immense. The whole debt, foreign
and domestic, would be but "hea-bite," as
MIR. Disraeli would say, in comparison with
the revenue to be derived from her vast min.
eral and agricultural wealth.

that H. NJ. ship Satillite had been sent there
to relieve the Tribune which previously had
been anchored at that Island. Thus affairs
seem to remain In stata quo.

EDITOR BULLETIN Some time since Gen
llarney ordered Capt Pickett's Co., 9th in
fantry, to occupy San Juan Island betw cen
the Gulf of Georgia and Puget Sound. This
is one of the Islands in dispute between the
British and our own people, situated on the
boundary line.
On Saturday, the 9th inst, an express ar.
rived here from Steilacoom, Puget Sound. in
forming the General that the British had
gone to the point occupied, with three of
their vessels of war and ordered Pickett to
leave the Island, which he refused to do. At
the time the express left no force had been
used on either side, but Governor Stevens
urged the General to send more troops M.
aud accordingly Gen. Harney ordered the
four companies of Sd artillery, stationed at
his post, to proceed Immediately Two com
panies left this morning and the other two
will leave tomorrow morning.
The British have sent to Fraser river for
