T' ~ New YORK, July 6.--The Herdlds
foreign letter says that the Austrians
y were evidently astonished at the rapid
y and successful movements of the
Prussian armies In Hanover and Sax
ony. The report of the occupation of
Dresden and Leipsic produced consid-
cradle astonishment among the citi-
zens of Vienna, but nothing like con-
.sternation or excitement. The utmost
Secrecy was maintained relative to the
Austrian plan of campaign. 1t was
believed in Paris that the Parisians
favor the Prussians and the policy of
Prussia, while on the other hand, we
are informed from Berlin that the En-
peror of France is in hearty accord
with Denmark and King Frederick
William. 1t appears as if Napoleon
was simply confused. The Hessian
volunteers on the right bank of the
Po were in sight of the Crotian sem
tinels doing duty for Austria on the
other side.
u The Duke de Chatres, Louis Phil
lips grandson, rendered his services
as an officer to Victor Emanuel, but
the offer was declined by the Italian
Cabinet
