rest SIX large wagons carrying gunboats taken TO

by number of sailors, has been going on for two
or three days. These boats when they left France,
were intended to operate on the Po ard perhaps to
act against Piacenza, but the battle of Magenta
caused their destination to be changed. They are

IhE ALLIES AND THEIR COMMIsSARIAT.
n, lC9TTespondence of the London HeraIdl
60 ItNtN, NJ Suhe zO;-l have seen letters from the
1r roht' ooth from French and Piedmontese officers
They speak in most enthusiastic terms Of the re.
ception of the Allies at Brescia Provisions boyy-
ever, were very scarce, both in the town and in
the neighboring villages, and as the troops march
much faster than the commissariat carts a good
deal OF inconvenience was experienced and many
officer and soldier had to lie down without any
other supper than the coarse pain de nunition of
which every man carries huge fragment bucked
on his knapsack. The Brescians, however, behaved
very WELL and many of the wealther inhabitants
took as many officers with them to dine at their
houses as they could accommodate. Both armies
have suffered good deal on the march from the
excessive heat of the weather and from the dust,
and several regiments were knocked up that they
had to be allowed one day for resting.
The French troops generally commence their
march at in the morning; they jog on for six hours
without stopping, and then halt takes place, du-
ring which the men breakfast: they always contrive
to have soup, which ie meat and drink to a French
soldier. II meat Is to be had so much the better
it not, few vegetables are put in to color the wa
ter; quantities OF bread slowed into the kettle,
with, if possible; a piece of butter The men ap-
pear to like it. From until they eat and rest
at 2 the bugles sound for parade, after which the
march is resumed, to continue until sunset, when
the troops bivouac for the night. Up to this time,
every evening there has been terrific rain storms,
which must render bivouacing very uncomfort-
able, even with the shelter of tenteabri. The
French army Is, however, pretty healthy, for the
commissariat carts manage to arrive at some time
or other IN the evening, and the men have good
substantial meal. The Piedmontese commissariat,
on the contrary, is far from being so perfect, and
the men have often to move ON without having re-
ceived their rations, and the consequence is that
there is great deal of grumbling and dssatisfac-
ton.
From the London Ne1cs June 24l
The telegraph despatch from Berlin, which we
publish in another column, announcing the early
march of several Prussian army corps the Rhine,
is calculated to give rise to exaggerated apprehen
sions, If regarded apart from the diplomatic atti-
tude OF the Prussian government. So far as these
military arrangements tend to commit Prussia 10
active intervention at future stage of the war,
they of course add to the complications of European
politics. but at present they are merely precaution-
ary. The advance of a PrusSian army to the Rhine
alter grave diplomatic disagreement with France
such as the rejection of an offer of mediation
would have seriousness which would be incontes-
table But that is not the present situation. AL
though the Prussian government has announced its
intention to interfere automatically for the restora
tlon of peace, it has not vet thought the time come
for proposing bases of pacifcation to France
Much remains, therefore, to be done before a case
for the employment of these troops can arise
PruSsa arms in order that when the time for
mediation comes she NAV intervene with effect. 1t
follows from what we have stated that the reports
OF the Belgian papers respecting the terms OF Prus
sian mediation are premature. Should the conflict
on the Mincio prove of decisive character, and not
degenerate, owing to the successful resistance of
the fortresses, into protracted war; the diplomatic
! intervention of Prussia will probably follow the
first great battle Early in the week we noticed
the prevalent rumor that treaty had been conclu-
ded between Austria and Prussia with reference to
this We are enabled to state that this report
is completely erroneous.
The part which Prussia has to play just now is
exceedingly complex, her European and Germanic
interests crossing each other at several points
Her Teutonc allies urge her to a course which
would make the Confederation take the place of
Prussia as the fifth of the Great Powers and she
vlndlcates her native rank against both France and
Germany by taking the lead in display of militia
ry force. Amidst all these interesting complica-
tons there is danger of her forgetting that other
Powers will not be disposed to make the permanent
lot OF Italy dependent the squabbles of the Con-
fe6eraes and that the great interests of European
peace require that both France and Austria should
be got out of Italy possible. Any at
tempt to revive and apply at the present day the
iniquitous principles Of the Congress ofVenna, any
pretension to sacrifice the vital interests of people
to imaginary ends of statecraft, would inevitably
ALLEVIATE the sympathes of the English people from
Prussia, whatever evils might befall the State
The new English Ministry has lost no time in ac-
quanting the Prussian Court with its views of Ita-
ian affairs.
FRANCE.
The Nord contradicts the current report that the
Emperor Napoleon would soon return to Paris.
Two divisions of the army at the camp of ChalOns
were under orders to join the army at Italy.
Late letters from Paris mention a vague report
with view, it was supposed, OF announcing new
levies of troops and another new loan.
