WASHINGTON. May 12-The result of the inyestiga-
ton into the completely of Lieut.. Col Z. E. Paudng
Paymaster with the concerns of the Merchants Ma
tionaI Bank is not definitely known; enough. how
ever, has been made public to lead to the conclusion
that the Court of Inquiry has probably acquitted
Col paulding of all blame in the matter. This de-
cison was brought about, it is said, by an affidavit
made by Mr.. Huyek, exhonorating Col. Paulding.
The whole loss of the Government by the failure Of
this bank is computed to be $6lo6iSl0 sums depos-
tied by several dsbursing officers of the Government,
against which the only offset is 100000 security IN
the hands of the United States Treasurer.

FOREIGN NEWS.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE steamer
Persia, from Liverpool Both, via
Queenstown, July l, arrived this
morning.
The reports of the battle fought in
Bohemia, on the 9th ult., are still
conflicting. Both sides claim the vic
tory. The latest dispatches from Ber-
lin insist that the Austrians were de-
feated, with a loss of from 5000 to
1000, and 5000 taken prisoners.
And this news had caused great re-
joicing in the Prussian capital, but so
far as can now be ascertained, the
Prussians gained all the victories in
the early part of day, but were finally
defeated by the Austrians, and forced
to fall back.
The London Times sums up the
Austrian and Prussian reports as
follows:
The Austrians were driven back by
a superior force at Nachod, and had,
at 3 P. NJ been pursued by their foe
as far as Skalitz, ON the road to Ja-
romirz. Yet if we may believe the
Austrian bulletin, dated from J Joseph
stadt, that the same afternoon at ten
minutes past FIVE, we find that the
Prussians were pressing forward from
Nachod and Neustadt, and in the
morning came into collision with an
Austrian army corps at Skalitz, and
were repulsed after six hours hard
! fighting, with loss, as a Vienna tel
egram adds, of eighteen guns and
many prisoners.
The Austrians, there is no doubt.
