| NEWS OF THE DEFEAT OF THE ITALIAN ARMY RE.
CEIvED IN FRAscE-A PEACE DEMONSTRATION IN
THE LEGISLATURE, ETC.
| It is astonishing how little news we have Of the
great battle of Custozza and OF what we have much Is
doubtful. No approximate list Of killed and wounded
| is yet published here.
There can, however, I fear. be no doubt that the
! Italians are very badly beaten. According to all tho
latest kilograms Victor Emanuel and his whole army,
and no. two divisions only have been compelled to
cross tho hincio.
Tho news that Cadni had succeeded in getting
| the Pc, on his march TO Venice Is contradicted.
The Steele and other journals affiliated to the italian
try console themselves for the check by saying
that the only objectsof Victor Emanuels daring attack
upon the famous quadrilatera to make debouch
at Verona and enable cadini the best Of the Italian
generals and upon whom great hopes paced) to
20 round Venice, and that this object has been at
tained.n
Iapprehend 1t win turn out that this is not We do
know at this moment where Caldni Isl but there is
every reason for supposlng that he mast be seeking
place OF safety His movement upon Venice-diffcult
under any rcumstances-through marshy country
brsng with forressee could only have been possible
had Italians gained the battle of the 24h Now that
they have utterly lost IT, Caldni have ne nothing
very serious peace demonstration was made In the
Corps Legisatif yesterday. You will remember that
when the Emperor's letter OF June IL was commune
Gated 10 the Chamber NJ Rouher expressed opinion
that II would be incOnvenient to have any discussion
upon IT, and the President Count Walewski acting upon
this cue resoutey stopped the mouth of every deputy
who attempted say word the subject NJ. Theirs
mplored in vain for leave to speak bnt for minute
division was taken the question, and the house
gagged itself by enormous majority against 80.
Yesterday, however, after the debate on tho
budget he'd been going on very quietly for sew
eral hours. NJ. Iarraburc, member Of tho ma
| iority aad that the estimates were all very
well, and would, he doubted not be responded TO
by events but essential condition, namely, that
France should not go France, he repeatedly
said swanted peace - and each time he made that
scrton ho loudly cheered not only by the opposi
| ti0n, but by the majority.
1T length Waewski stopped, or rather tried TO stop
| him saving he was breaking rule which the Chamber
feeling Of the house 10 20 on and In spite of all that Wa
lewsk could do did go for long time All that the
House had before decided he urged, that the En-
perors letter should not be discussed but 1t would be
separate without talking that house Of what every
was talking ont OF doors So long as war
had not actually begun there might perhaps be
for caution, but that II was raging in
Germany and Italy there was excuse for the sience OF
the Chamber IL their bounden duty give eyrres
sion general sentiment that France ought not TO
for the sake Of the balance OF power In Ger
many for extension of frontiers indeed for any
thing short of question involving her honor and safety
such not likely TO arise.
NM. Berger and Thers threw In some energetic OBJ
scrvaiions In the sense, and then the subject
dropped but expect 10 sec taken up again before the
pr0rogatien.
NJ Thers told the deputies they abdica'ing II
they shrunk from declaring openly what they thought
vitaiy affecting the best interests Of the
country and cheers from all parts OF the house aesed
that he expressed The general opinion although the
deputies may be afraid TO act up 70 II.
