LETTER FROM PARIS.

Special Correspondence of the New Orleans Crescent
PARIS, July 20. 1866
There are many in France who reproach Italy
with ingratitude for not listening to the counsel:
Of hun who first was the means of helping her tc
| shake off the yoke of Austria. 1t is, however
wrong to fancy that Italy will forever consent tc
remain the yassal of France, and the Italians must
| sooner or later throw away their leading strings
and act for the best of their interests.
PRINCE NAPOLEON
| Left on Monday evening for Italy. A telegram
which arrived to-day informs US that he is at Fer.
rara, the headquarters of his father-in-law. The
| imperial cousin has no doubt full powers to urge
Victor Emmanuel to bring the war to as speedy a
conclusion as possible.
The Moniteur of this morning tells us that
though the emperor had not succeeded in bringing
| about an armistice he nevertheless will continue
to use his best endeavors to prevail upon the bel.
| ligerents to come to an understanding.
| 1t is fortnight ago since the battle of Sadowa
| took place. and the Prussians have almost arrived
! within sight of Vienna without striking a blow.
| Benedek has been succeeded in command by the
| Archd1ke Albreeht, who, it is said, has an army
| OF 100000 men. The PTussians have still 1870 900
men under command of Prince Frederic Charles,
and the Prince Royal has more than 100 O0O which
now occupy Zundenbourg.
| The position now occupied by the Austrians,
with the Danube between them and the enemy is
said to be very strong; though SO often beaten,
the whole army is being reliant as to the issue,
more especially as they are commanded by
ARoHDUKE ALBRIGHT
Who, with General John, of Irish descent won the
battle OF Custozza is considered at Vienna that
the Archduke Is the man to save the empire Our
correspondents from Vienna inform us that all the
officers who were present at Custozza are of the
same opinion.
The conqueror Of Custozza will still find nu-
merOus army at FlOrlnd0rtf, who are waiting with
impotence to be led against the Prussians The
lesser States are now looking forward with anxiety
to the issue of the battle which is imminent: sew
eral have already turned tail and are doing ali they
can to make Prussia forget their conduct at the
Diet.
FRANKFORT oN-THE-MAIN.
Gen. Won Falkenstein has latter having beaten
the Bavarians) at last entered the capital of the
German Confederation. a.-.-
Members of the first families of this town have
left, not being over DESTROYS of making a more
intimate acquaintance with the Ieathern helmets
The Russians began by arresting two senators
ana suppressng TWO newspapers, which have for
some time made themselves conspicuous in attack
ing the King OF Prussia, Bismarck, and everything
belonging to the house of HOhenzollern.
According 10 all accounts, the discipline in The
Prussian army is excellent and those in command
nave assured the Inhabitants OF those towns Uccu-
pied by the eathern helmets that any act of ter
rorlsm on the part of the soldiers would be
instantly visited with the utmost severity.
DARMsTADT.
From Frankfort the Prussians have pushed on
to Inc quiet and clean little capital Of the Grand
Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt
Messrs. Rogenbacb and Bennigreh; two pretty
men OF State, who formerly sided with Austria,
are like rats fofsakng the sinking ship, and have
not language strong enough to abuse their late |
friends. Should the Archduke win the day, we |
shal see what these weather7cocks will do!
