The War in Europe.

The following interesting items are selected
FROM the latest English papers:
NoN-INTERvENTIoN MEMORIAL TO LORD
DERBY.-The Lord Mayor Of London headed
a deputation to the Prime Minister to present
the memorial emanating from the public meet
Ing In favor of strict non-intervontion. Lord
Derby assured them that the Government had
40 intention or desire to alter in any way their
policy of English Intervention. Alluding to
the rumored alliance between Russia and
France, his Lordship said that the Government
had received repeated and positive assurances
from Prince Gortschakoff, that no such treaty
existed, and that TIE written memorandum
which had been exchanged between the Rus
sian and French Governments, in no way af-
feoted the interests of this country.
KossUTH ON TIE WAR.-The great speech of
Kossuth at the London Tavern is printed in
full in some Of the New York papers. 1t is
too long for our columns. The New York
Times says Of it, This speech is, in many par
tculars, worthy of special attention. In the
first place, it embodies most clear, eloquent
and admirable exposition of the actual inter.
ests now at stake in the Italian war. The cell
ebrated Hungarian orator of 184S was himself
again in drawing the picture of Europe as she
stands to- day in the dawn of the great contest
between the ideas of q nationality and indie
pendence represented by the arms of France
and Italy, and the idea of legitimacy and
compression incarnatsd in the policy of Aus
tria. As mastery sketch of the causes which
have led to the present conflict, of its ele-
mental conditions, and of the issues to which
it may nationally be expected to lead, this
speech Of Kossuth can hardly be commended
with too much warmth. 1t ia calm il state
ment, although it glows with the natural feel
ing Of apatrot who thinks the hour of his ma
tion's deliverance, aftei ten years of sad and
hn af IaaA
strike.
BATTLE OF MoNTEBELLo.--Additiona partic-
ulars have come to hand. The following is
from French correspondent at Alessandria,
writing under date of May 81: Yesterday, at
about one O'Clock in the afternoon, the Pied
montese advanced posts, which watch our lines
before Voghera, heard the sound of cannon in
the direction Of the little village Of Casteggio,
and at once Informed General Forey. He be-
lieving, from the account given him, that the
Austrians we're making simple reconnaissance,
advanced Immediately with about 500 men. 1t
was soon perceived that the enemy was ad-
vancing 10000 strong, including detachment
of cavalry and two battalions of artillery
General Forey at once ordered the rest of his
division to advance, and while this movement
was being executed the 500 men kept the Aus
trian army in check. The conduct of the SOL
diers at this moment was truly admirable. For
some minutes Col. Gambriel, with scarcely 100
men under him, was seen commanding q Wig
orous fire, and taking heroic part in the re-
sistanee. AS soon as the division arrived
tho engagement became more general; the
artillery could not act very rapidly, owing
to the bad state Of the ground. While,
however, some guns were playing upon the
main body of the enemy with effect, two
pieces were carried by our artillerymen to the
top of small mound, from which they swept
the plain with great success. Being received
with extraordinary vigor, and closely pressed,
the Austrians-retreated, and our troops follow
cd them as far as Montebello. They drove
them out of that town with vigor and energy.
Not house but was attacked; in every street
combats were fought; but in no place and at
no moment did the numerical superiority of
the enemy for moment prevail. After the
occupation of Montebello came that of Casteg-
gio. The results were the same; and all the
more remarkable, that the Austrians were the
aggressors, and yet lost more ground than they
would, perhaps, have lost had they waited an
attack.
