Progress Of Garibaldi. The Redorts With ...
PROGRESS OF GARIBALDI . The reDorts with regard to this gallant free captain are very contradictory , but we fear that he has sustained a severe repulse . On Saturday he arrived in Conio , which town immediately pronounced in favour of Italian independence , and was illuminated to celebrate the arrival of the volunteers . Garibaldi , on Saturday , was in possession of Canierlato and Lecco , south of Como , where the Austrian corps of observation had been stationed the day before , so that this corps seems to be in full retreat upon Milan . The Valteliue has risen in . arm ' s against Austria , and numerous volunteers from that place have joined the insurrectionary force , and have taken possession of the A ustriau steamers which perform the regular service on the Lake of Como .
Garibaldi ' s proclamation to the Lombards denounces the Austrians in the terms to be expected from him . He calls upon all true Italians to rally round the standard of Victor Emmanuel , " chosen by the national will as our supreme chief ; " declares that he who does not aid the cause is a traitor to his country ; but says nob one word about Louis Napoleon or the French army . Como has declared its adhesion to the King of Sardinia , and the population of the surrounding country is hastening to put itself under Garibaldi ' s flag . : _ that this
The next account we received jvas brave man had received a check from the Austrians under General Urban , arid that he had been forced to retire into the canton Tessin . On Monday he was before the fort -of Laveno , on the Lago Maggiore .. This is the place where the Austrian steamers on that lake are harboured and fitted out . He appears to have continued besieging Laveno in the course of ¦ Tue sdaj % the attack lasting all- day , and it was even continued at night , but no result can as yet be reported . This movement is unmiatakeably a retreat . The Sardinian forces despatched to extricate him , commanded by General Cialdiui , stationed at Vercelli , are represented as having been intercepted by the Austrians .
The news from Como is thatVarese is again in the hands of the Austrians under General Urban ' s command . Garibaldi seems to have retreated before their superior force without another battle . A telegram , which the Monitcur has received , with the Turin date of Wednesday , states that the whole of the Valteline is in revolt ; and we have still later intimation stating that the Sub-Governor of Sondrio , the town where the insxirgents seem to have made their head-quarters , had fled into the Tyrol , escorted by soldiers , and carrying the public treasure with him .
Upon arriving at everyplace Garibaldi takes possession of it in the name of the King of Sardinia , whose sovereignty he proclaims , lie then barricades it , establishes an oflico for the enrolment of volunteers , forms a national guard , instals in oiiice a royal commissioner , leads away all those prepared at onco to follow him . and starts off again . Ho entered Lombardy with 3 , 500 men , and four pieces of artillery . Now he has 6 , 000 men , « vnd , it is said , a well-fllled military chest .
Venice And The Adriatic. A Letter From T...
VENICE AND THE ADRIATIC . A letter from the Adriatic states that Admiral Jurien de Lagraviero had made as many as seventeen captures down to May 20 . One of his prisses is a fine three-masted vessel from Triesto , the Santa-Trinita . T . he recently instituted council of prizes will shortly sit to , judge of the validity of these captures . The Municipality of Venice has requested a reduction of the loan . The President and Vice-President of the Chamber of Commerce have resigned their official positions , as has also the Podcata Marcollo . A telegram from Venice , in the beginning of the week , stated that hostilities had begun , and that the Lido forts were cannonnading the French squadron . ¦

FRANCIS JOSEPH . Tub Emperor of Austria loft Vienna for tho scat of war on Sunday , amidst the cheers of the populace Ho was accompanied by Marshal Hoaa and Count Grunno .
Paris Nkws . —The Empress appears in perfect health and spirits , and is well received when she appears in public . The opening of the church in the Rue d'Aguesseau is a great event for the English world in Paris ; and one which has been received with the most general satisfaction . . The incumbent , Mr . Forbes , is said to be for once the right man in the right place . He conies direct from the Isle of Man , where he has been incumbent of St . George ' s , Douglas , for eleven years . He lias been accustomed to speak plainly to congregations . of plain people , and the wholesome truths thus conveyed to the artificial society , of Paris may be expected to be sown for future benefit . , The French people are growing tired of a slow war , and the French ouvriera are getting clamorous
for more public money ; so , in spite of the fact that barracks and many other public works have been at a stand-still for some time , because it was not con-Venient to find the means for defraying the cost of their completion , it is actually rumoured that the Tuileries is to be rebuilt , and that positive orders have been given for the demolition to commence on the 15 th of the present month . New squares , planted with trees , for the recreation of the peopleadmirable in themselves—are projected for every part of the city and outskirts not already supplied with them ; and lastly , it is announced that the Hotel de Ville is to be reconstructed ! The ouvriers must eat and drink , and they like to dance ; but will the bourgoisic choose to pay the . piper much longer ? Certainly riot , if many more loans have to be asked for in the name of Italian independence , grafted on French tyranny . — — —
Prussian Finances And Policy. A Goverxme...
PRUSSIAN FINANCES AND POLICY . A Goverxmekt annOuneenient was made on Wednesday , stating the conditions un'Jer which the officially ordered new Prussian Loan at 5 percent , is to be issued . The issue is to be made in coupons of from 50 to 1 , 000 thalers , " the payment of the interest to be half-yearly , and the redemption of the debt to commence from 1863 by the payment of 1 per cent , per annum . No reduction of the interest is to take place before 18-70 ; the subscripton to be received from " the 6 th to the 11 th of June . In case the subscription should exceed 30 , 000 , 000 thalers those above 250 thalers are to be proportionately allotted . On subscription a deposit of 10 per cent , must be made ; by the 8 th of July , -30 per cent . ; by the 22 d of August , 25 per cent . ; and by the 8 th of October , 30 per cent . For this 95 per cent , subscribers will receive 100 per cent , nominal value , bearing 5 per cent , interest / rom July the 1 st , 1859 . The Dresden Journal , pretends to be informed of a gradual approach between Austria and Prussia ; but little of this is visible in the Prussian press , which pretends that the Prussian Government is little inclined to wage war for the sake of Austria . Count Pourtales , the Prussian ambassador at Paris , who went a short time ago to Berlin , has returned to his post , accompanied by his family , as if anticipating that his stay was not likely to be interrupted . It is said that the Prussian squadron before long will join the English fleet , destined to protect the Baltic , or rather the entrance thereof . The Prussian ships which are to form part of the combined squadron are to set out for Copenhagen within a few weeks . As to the policy followed by Denmark , under present circumstances , it has declared its readiness to submit to the dictates of the Confederation , as far us Hulstein mid Lanenburg are concorned . The Military Committee of the Federal Diet has approved tho motion of Hanover to place an army on the Rhine , and that it will propose its adoption ; It is thought , however , that it will not bo brought before the Diet till after the return of the Prussian General Willisen to Berlin , A despatch from Berlin , dated 27 th instant , says that the first ban of the landwchr of Berlin has been equipped and armed . This stop is merely to exercise tho men with their now rifles .

WAR MKASURES IN FRANCE . Tub Moniteur is half filled witti lists of nominations to the Legion of Honour , and grants of the Military Medal to the officers and soldiers engaged in the affair of Montobollo , the former numbering 50 , and the latter 70 . The Sardinian General De Sonnaz is crcatod a Commander , and six other Sardinian officers Chevaliers .

The Minister of Public Worship has been ordered by the Emperor to express , to the bishops of France his Majesty ' s entire satisfaction with the general tone of their addresses to their clergy on the occasion , of the war . .
French civilians are reported ta look upon this war from their quiet homes as " urie affaire dequinze jours" What do they say to this fact ?—A houee near San Siro , the ancient cathedral of Genoa , has been let to the French for four years ; and another , in Piazza Raibetta , has been let to them , it is supposed as their head quarters , on a three years' lease , renewable at option for two additional terms of three years . French soldiers look upon Italian affairs in quite a different light : — " Ce n ' est pas pour des prunes" they say , " that we came over here . " Marshal Pelissier lias left Paris for Nancy , the head quarters of the army he commands .
War Policy In America. The Washington Co...
WAR POLICY IN AMERICA . The Washington correspondent of the New York Courier and Inquirer , -writing under the date of the 1 . 9 th ult ., says : — " It is believed by army officers and others here that President Buchanan is quietly concentrating nearly the whole army along the Texas and Arizona frontiers of Mexico , and that a large fleet of war vessels is about ' to be gathered in the Gulf . His purpose seenis to be exactly that carried out by Mr . Polk , in ordering Geucral Taylor to march beyond theNueces , in March , " 1846 , whereby a war was " in reality commenced against Mexico , without the consent or knowledge of Congress . Mr . Buchanan has privately stated to parties desiring his intervention for tlie protection of certain American interests from the aggressive acts of the Mirampn Government that Congress had withheld from him the power to act , and that he could do nothing more than instruct Mr . M'Lane to use his best efforts in behalf of American life and property . Notwithstanding these professions , it is the prevalent impression that the President is about to take the most decisive measures for sustaining the Juarez administration ,. and hjs movements are considered preliminary to a war of conquest and annexation . The steam-frigate General Admiral , built at New York , for the Russian Government , had made a successful trial trip . The New York Herald says she will start about the 1 st of June , under command of Captain Coinstock , for Cronstadt , via Cherbourg . " This ( add 3 the Herald ) may be considered rather a significant fact in view of the alleged Russo-French alliance . "

VICTOR EMMANUEL AND THE TUSCANS-. The Monitore Toscano publishes tho following order of the day of the 23 rd to the Tuscan troops : — " Tuscan soldiers!—On the first report of a national war you sought a captain to lead you against the enemies of Italy . I accepted the command , it being my duty to give order and discipline to all the forces of the nation . You arc no longer soldiers of an Italian province ; you form part ol'the Italian army . Judging you worthy of fighting by the side of the brave soldiers of Fruncq , 1 place you under the orders of my beloved son-in-law , JL ' rincq Napoleon , who lias been ntrusted by the Emperor of the French with important military operations . Obey him as you would obey mo .
