details OF an engagement between the
russians, under Werder, and the
French, under Garibaldi, near Pasques,
IN the Department of the Vosges, has
been received, dated Dion, yesterday
afternoon. The Gnribaldians, while on
the march from Pasques, late on Satur-
day afternoon, suddenly came upon the
out.posts of the Prussians, which they
attacked with great impetuosity. The
Prussians were ut first compelled to fall
back, but reinforcements coming up, the
Garibaldians were in turn repulsed, in
great disorder, the soldiers throwing
away their arms aud knapsacks in the
flight. The next day Sunday Werder
took q circuit around Piombieres, and
in this way rapidly overlook the French
rear guards. Another engagement then
occurred, in which the French lost $50
killed and wounded; the Prussians lost
only SO. It is said that Menotti Carl
baldi had 1000 men under his command
IN this engagement. BY the capitulation
OF Lafere, seventy cannon, of all Sorts

the outbreak of the present war, Gorts-

William and Bismarck-the object being
the neutrality of Russia. Gortschakoff
demanded the acquicscence of Prussia to
the abolition of the part of the Paris
treaty which forbids q Russian fleet in
the Black Sen. Bismarck accepted the
proposition. This enabled Prussia to
withdraw two corps from the Russian
frontier. Gortschakoff, in addition, was
pledged to keep Austria from intcrfer-
