He wishr d ( he said ) to brinj ; about a marriage of reason ansl inclination between capital and labour , a mar ria . . ;* for a certain term . He had studied the matter for twenty-four years , and wished the Assemblj so famish him with the means of carrying his flurries uAo practice , and would be content , if he did not fully succeed , to pass the remainder of his da } 3 at Charenion . He « ras heard with the utmost impatience , and continually interrupted with sarca& ' ie observations and roars of laughter . He conclu ., '; d by demanding a concession of the forest of St .

INTERVENTION IN ITALY FOR THE RESTORATION OF THE POPE ! Paris , Monday . —The sitting of the Assembly today has been of considerable importance . It had oee ;> made public , by means of the evening papers lasi ni g ht , that it was the intention of the ministry to make some communication of moment to the chamber , and members had been requested to be in their places at the proper time . M . Odiilon Barrot ascended the tribune , and read the following statement : — 'Citizen Representatives . —When we informed you of the last events of which Italy has been the

      theatre , the Assembly felt the necessity in which France might at a future period be placed to occupy fora time a portion of the territory of the Peninsula . The initiative taken by you on that occasion is the sourc- from which has emanated the authorisation given to the government to take snch a measure if it were found useful . Since the vote I speak of , the shuAt ' mn , than uncertain , has been strongly defined . The Austrian government pursues the consequences of its victories ; and might invoke the rights of war with regard to states more or less engaged in the struggle which bad laken place between it and Sardinia . The consequence of these events has been

      felt in Central Italy . Information we have received announces an imp&nding crisis in the Roman States . ( Agitation . ) Trance cannot remain indifferent to this . The protection of the French inhabitants , tbe care of maintaining cur legitimate influence in Italy , the desire of cociril / uting to the attainment by the Eoman population of a good government founded on liberal institutions . ( Interruptions and exclamations On the left . ) All these things made it our duty to use the authorisation that had bseu granted to us . It would ha impossible for us to enter into ampler details without compromising the object we have in view . It such circumstances as these chance must

      have a part allowed to it in what may happen . But we may now cfSnn that from our interventions will arise nought but efficacious guarantees for the interests of our policy—the cause of true liberty . ( Agi . tatios on the left . ) The government thinks it necessary to state , with the greatest precision , the exact character and bearing of the vote it demands of the Assembly . Being already invested by it with a power the importance of which it appreciates , it does not renounce that power . It asks for no new power , a : ; d it would regard as unworthy and contrary to its most superior duties anv step , by which , changing the position civeu it bv the Assembly ,

      it should try to cover its responsibility with that nf the Assembly itseJf . In coming before you to-day to demand a credit which is indispensable to government for ensuring the execution of the powers invested in it , government remains , and must remain , entirely responsible fur the consequences involved . That responsibility would not cease till the time when the refusal of this credit would , by reducing it to necessary inaction , in presence of the events impending , prove to it that it is the intention of the Assembly to annul its vote of the 30 th of March , and make abstention a iuty . The following is in consequence the project of law which the government has the honour to submit to vour

      deliberation . — ' 2 sr , An extraordinary credit of 1 , 200 , 000 francs en the exereice of 1849 is opened at the ministry of war for supporting the iacreasB of expenses aitciuhnt upon keeping on a war footing , during three months , the expeditionary corps of the Mediterranean .

The expanses authorised by tbe above article shall be provided for by means of the resources applicable to ii-s wants of the exereice of 1849 . "

      Gentlemen , ' afid ? il M . Barrot , it is needless , after such a comnnuKcsnon , to point out to the Assembly thai it must examine this question as one of urgency . For the success cf snch measures as these , it is necessaty that publicity and execution should he simultaneous . I therefore demsud cf the Assembly to retire instantly into ' their bureaux , and there examine the question of urgency , and name a committee which" shall repart speedily enough to allow the Assembly , in its sittings of this day , to vote on it . '

      The Assembly , naving voted affirmatively on the demands of ihs President of the Council , retired into its bureaux , and named a Committee , which immediately retired to deliberate . The Assembly met again in the evening , at nine o ' clock , whan Jules Favre , the reporter of the Commission , read Ms report . It declared that the . proposition of the government was urgent . M . E . Arago demanded of the government to explain the object of the expedition . M . Odiilon Bsrrot replied , that its object was to protect the dignity and preserve the legitimate Liraence of France in Italy . M . Ledru Bollin followed , and spoke Kith such violence that lie excited the murmurs of the majority of the Assembly against him . —Times . General Laiaoriciere supported the propssition ; W . Scholc ' uer opposed it .

      A division was then called for , and a ballot having been taken , there appeared for the first paragraph of the resolution 395 , against it 283 ; majority in favour of Ministers , 112 . The second paragraph -was voted without a division , and the Montagnard 3 deserted the house in a ljody . M . Deville wa 3 heard in the midst of the confusion caliiug oa his party to withdraw . This maneeavre succeeded . On ihe entire proposition being put to the vote , there appeared for the government resolution 393 , against it 106 ; majority in favour of Ministers , 287 ; hut as only 499 members voted , and as the regulations of tbe Assembl y require that 500 mtmbeis shall take part in every vote in order to render it valid , the ballot was declared void for want . of an additional vote .

      ITALY . THE SIEGE OF GENOA . [ from a supplement of the ' nouvelustb or MARSEILLES , ' OF THE 9 lH APRIL . ] As early as yesterday evening the report was current in this city as soon as the Ville de Marseille steamer arrived , that another sanguinary conflict had taken place between the . people of Genoa and the troop 3 of the government . It will be remembered that , in consequence of an emeule , in which

      the National Guards and the people took part , the armed force , composed of about 1 , 000 men , and not 10 , 000 , as was published by mistake , ' was obliged to evacuate the town . But while this was going on , the division of . General la . Marmora , returning from Parma , and perfectly organised , surrounded Genoa , and took possession of the Maritime suburb . During two days some murderous engagements took place between the populace and the troons ; the troops had taken possession of some

      new positions . The attack by General la Marmora was postponed , as we have already said , for two days . The town wa 3 defended with inconceivable ardour and determination . Priests and women were to be seen hastening , armed , to the barricades . No troops could have entered tbe town without being crushed by the stones with which the houses had been filled , for the purpose of being thrown upon those making

      the attack . Many houses have been destroyed , still more damaged by ball and shell . In the hospitals the sick were struck by the projectiles , and the vessels anchored in the port have also suffered more or less . The French steamer Tonnerre and the French traders served as a refuge to our country , men , as well as to a crowd of refugees of all nations . Happily , at last , the Consular body succeeded in getting an armistice concluded for forty-eight flours . [ Which was subsequently extended . ] states that the

      A Turin letter , of the 9 th inst ., Sardinian government has answered the deputation of Genoa that , if the tawn surrendered immediately an amnesty would be granted . The only exceptions . vould be twelve chiefs of the insurrection , all the military who have taken a part in it , and the individuals guilty of crimes against persons and property . In order to allow the municipality of Genoa time * to consider these conditions the term of the armistice is prorogued to the 10 th . The Lombards who had advanced towards Genoa were Btill at Bubbio , and had not advanced .

      FALL OF GENOA . Turin , April 12 . —The news I sent yesterday has been confirmed in all its particulars by the accounts , letters , and newspapers brought to-i 3 ay . Genoa is in the hands of the Piedmontese troops . The armistice , renewed for another two days , had been followed by the unconditional surrender of the town though on the understanding that there would ba a general amnesty , from which only General Avezzana , David Morchio Pettigrini , Constatina Reta , and eight other chiefs of the insurrection , were excluded , as well as all such military men in

      the actual service of piedmont as had taken a part in the rebellion . —To-day immense parcels of the newspapers from Genoa and the south of Italy , as well as Florence , Rome , and Venice , have arrived , after an interruption of several days . From private letters which I have just parused , as well as from what you will have seen in the papers before tin ' s letter reaches you , you may be certain that , now that Piedmont has decidedly g iven up the cause of Italian independence ( at least for the present ) , neither Florence , Rome , nor even Venice , will hold oat long .

      Parma . —Reign of Terror—The 'Piedmontese Gazette' of the 10 th announces the arrival at Parma , on the 5 th , of General dAspre , at the head of an Austrian corps . He immediately published a proclamation , ordering the inhabitants of the city and territory to give up all their arms within twelve hours . The peasants will have them returned to them , on their producing certificates of morality . Transgressors of this order will be judged by

      courtmartial , and shot within twenty-four hours . By another proclamation of tbe same date , General d'Aspre announces that , by order of Marshal Radetsky , and in the name of bis Royal Highness the reigning Duke Charles II ., be , assumes the civil and military government of the states of Parma ; that all public acts and orders are understood to be in the name of H . R . H . aforesaid , and that Major-Ganeral Wimpffen is named commandant of the city of Parma .

      VENICE . —In the sitting of the Venetian Assembly of the 2 nd , Manin communicated to that body the painful intelligence of the defeat of ths Piedmontese . He remarked that the ciicumstances were difficult , and that it was for the Assembly to determine the course to be followed . A representative having replied that the government ought to take the h ad , Manin asked , Are you , citizens and representatives , determined to resist at every cost ?' ' We are ! ' was the unanimous cry . ' Are you

      disposed to give me unlimited powers , that I may do whatever is use / ul and necessary for the purpose , without my being obliged to give you explanations ?' ' Yes , yes ! ' was again the unanimous answer . ' I did not expect less from this generous assembly , ' said Manin , ' and I accept . ' The loudest applause greeted this declaration . The representatives nocked round Manin and embraced bim ; he himself was deeply moved . The following decree was then

      passed;' Tbe Assembly of Representatives of the State of Venice , in tbe name of God and tbe people , unanimously decrees as- follows : — ' Venice shall resist the Austrians at every cost .

      THE "WAR IN SICILY . . The peasantry in tbe neighbourhood of Palermo had been provided with . 10 , 000 pikes six feet long , and with triangular heads . These . they had orders to use inpreference to any other weapons , the priests preaching daily in the piazzas , and urging the same counsel—to rush upon the enemy with the pike , regardless ef anything else but exterminating them . Besides a large force of Frenchmen and people ol other nations , there was a body of Eng lishmen organised , about 300 in number , who were called the ' Milizia Inglese . ' Ammunition and arms abounded ; round the city a . ditch had beeni dug ten feet deep and ten feet wide , with towers at the distance of 100 feet from one another , each having six cannons .

      working to cry , ' death and destruction to the Bourbons . \ "We announced in our last the commencement of hostilities , and the hellish attrocities committed by tbe Neapolitans , ^» ho had commenced t he war by burning and slaying without mercy all that came in their way . CAPTURE AND SACK OF CATANIA BY THE NEAPOLITANS . HELLISH ATROCITIES !

      ( From the Malta papers . ) The Neapolitan steamer , Duca di Calabria , arrived on Saturday night last , from Messina , with a despatch for the Neapolitan * consul in this island , stating that the royal troop 3 had token possession of all the coast from Messina to Catania , and particularly of Jaci , with a view to make a simultaneous attack upon Catania by . sea and land . On the morning of the 5 th , three Neapolitan steamers took up a beautiful position at a short distance from the city , and opened their fire ; the castle and the small forts of the city immediately replied to the fire with much energy and skill , which Injured two of the steamers . On that evening the Neapolitans retired ;

      the next day seven steamers appeared , and again opened a terrible fire on the city . The garrison , and the inhabitants returned the fire , like the day previous ,- in such a manner that General Filangieri saw that he must make a simultaneous attack on the city by sea and land ; he therefore ordered the troops at Jaci to advance upon Catania . The Swiss were the advanced troops , supported by 700 lancers : the main army , of 16 , 000 foot , and 32 pieces of cannon followed . These attacked the city at a weak point , which was ill guarded by the Catanians . and got in , notwithstanding the obstinate resistance of the defenders . The city then became a real field of battle . As the troops advanced , the resistance became more obstinate : the assailants , who were fired on from all the houses , and from barricades , became mere ferocious , and the assailed the more

      tenacious to defend the town , which superior force only could take . The city , bombarded by sea and land , wag compelled to surrender , and on the morn * ing of the 7 th , a portion of the garrison , and a great number of the inhabitants retired to the mountains in perfect order , abandoning the city to fire and plunder . The greatest part of the houses were sacked and destroyed . The public library , the palace of the Marquis of San Giuliano , that of the Prince Careaci , and many other edifices were burnt . About 1 , 700 Neapolitans ware killed , and a great number more of Sicilians . Such has been the fate of this fine city and its inhabitants . General Filangieri immediately published a proclamation , in which he ordered , that within twenty-four hours all tbe inhabitants should give up their arms to the Neapolitan authorities . Syracuse was to be a ttacked on Sunday last .

      Her Majesty's steamer Bulldog , arrived last night from Syracuse with an account of the surrender of that city . General Werenski , governor of Syracuse , and his staff , came in the Bulldog . An eyewitness of events in Catania says;—' The Sicilians fought bravely and well all the night of Good Friday , till nine o ' clock on Saturday morning . After the battle we landed , and such a scene of carnage and cruelty I never witnessed . The dead and the dying were crowded on each other . The Neapolitans had buried their own dead ; but in rushing through the streets seemed to find a demoniacal pleasure in mutilating the senseless clay around

      them . I saw three soldiers strike their bayonets into a poor fellow breathing his last , and numberless were those w * ho lay headless in the streets , the victims of a horrible ferocity . Catania is in ashes ; the streets are encumbered with half-burnt rafters : immense logs of charred wood occupy , with broken guns and overturned' carriages , the place lately teeming with enthusiasm and health . Tbe Sicilian dead lie unburied ; the Neapolitans even kick them as they pass—plunge into the midst of tbe neariy deserted town—reb , plunder , and destroy , and commit every possible atrocity on helpless innocence or decrepid old age .

      GERMANY . The FnANKFORT Parliament . —In tbe sitting of the Frankfort Parliament of the 11 th instant the following motion was made by M . Kierulf , and passed by a majority of 276 against 159 votes : —' That the German Constituent National . Assembly declare so .-lemnly to the nation that it will unshakingly adhere to the constitution . 'agreed ' . to and promulgated on the second reading , and also to tbe electoral law

      passed on the second reading ; that it refer the report of the deputatisn to a committee of thirty members to be chosen by tbe sections of the chambers , in order that a speedy report may be made respecting the measures necessary to be taken for carrying out the constitution . ' This decision of the Assembly may be set down as the rejection of the claim set up by tbe respective princes of Germany for a suspending veto with regard to the constitution . The house then adjourned .

      VIENNA . —By order of the civil and military authorities nobody is allowed to wear any apparel of a red colour . Any gentlemen or lady with red cravat er red ribbons will be arrested and condemned conformably to martial law . Our garrison being diminished to about 8 , 000 men , the rest being parted for Hungary , all private soldiers had been ordered to keep out of barracks , and arc liable to twenty-five lashes if they return before eight o ' clock . This ordinance cau only be explained by the wish to show to the public that there is still a sufficient number of men in town to keep up what they call order just

      now . DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES . The Affair at Eckernforde , —We are enabled to continue the reports of an eye-witness relative to this affair : — ' It is now proved beyond any doubt that rather more than 200 men were blown up in the ship of the line , among whom were twelve superior officers , two surgeons , Sec . It is a matter of re . gret that our brave non-commissioned artillery officer , Preusser , who had commanded the southern battery and been appointed to the captured vessel , is among the number . A Nor \ vegian | voluunteer , Lieut . Wedel-Tarlsberg , the son of the Stadhalter of Norway , jumped into the water in the very moment of the

      explosion , and saved himself by swimming to the shore . The effects of the explosion were terrible beyond description : maimed bodies , arms , legs , were strewed about in all directions , mingled with pieces of broken timber , ammunition , &c . The frigate is completely riddled , especially by shots through her stern : sixty men were killed and . sixty wounded . The Christian VIII , received sixteen shots through the stern hora the southern batter )' , each of which , at an average , killed three men . The interior of the frigate presents the most horrible spectacle that can be imagined — blood , brains , pieces of flesh , scattered over decks and walls . The

      frigate now rides safely on anchor in the inner harbour . Captain Donner arrived at two o ' clock in the morning , witb about 200 sailors , and it is expected that the ship will , in a fortnight , be sufficiently repaired to use her as a battery , should the Danes try to retake her . The two war steamers are still prowling about the harbour . They have twice sest a flag of truce to inquire after the fate of the crew of the Christian VIII ., and of Cadet Garde , the son of their commander in chief , who has been saved . The prisoners of war , to the number of 1 , 023 men , among them forty-four superior officers , have been transported to llendsburg to-day .

      Schleswig , April 15 . —On the 13 th the important iiitrenchments on the Duppeler heights were stormed . . From 4 ih .. to 9 Jh ., a . m ., ' the Germans played upon them with their light field-pieces ; the Danes replied both with heavy and light artillery . The Danish superiority in weight of metal exposed our troops to considerable loss . About ten a . m . two columns of Bavarians and Saxons were formed to assault the heights . They moved rapidly and steadily up the steep and broken ascent , the summit of which was crowned witb breastworks and cannon . Notwithstanding the incessant firing made lanes

      through their ranks , they carried their point . A number of prisoners were made , and the captured cannon were turned against the enemy ' s ships in the Bay of Alsen , and their intrenchments on the island , The retreat of the Danes was effected in utter disorder . The Danes and their conquerors rolled in one confused mass towards the bridge of boats which connects Alsen with the main . To prevent Alsen being also carried by storm the Danes fired upon their own troops . This occasioned the taking" of a greater number of prisoners by tbe victors ! but added considerably to the loss by killed and wounded on both sides .

      THE WAR IN HUNGARY . Disarmament of the Austrian Troops in Waxlachia . —Vienna , April 7 . — Since my last , news has arrived that the Austrian troops which had taken refuge in Wallachia were ordered by tbe Turkish authorities to be disarmed . Our ministry

If Bern had tak « n refuge in Wallachia , and his troops had net been disarmed , our ministers certainly would have made a great noise about the breach of neutrality .

      The capture of Zomber by ascribed to the blunders of Count Albert Nugent , formerly of the Bandenal Hussars , now commanding a Servian corps . Nugent had declared Zomber in a state of siege , and left Ihe piace with his troops the saite night , requiring the inhabitants also to take to flight . But they preferred to stay and surrender themselves to the Magyars . . The Magyars have advanced Jn tbe country Of Bacer as far as Verbas , and Perczel bas thrown himself with reinforcements into the fortress of Peterwardein . All imperially inclined had notice to quit the fortress within twenty-four hours . A battle has been fought under the walls ef Pesth . The accounts differ so widely that tbe result is uncertain .

      The ' Voss Gazette * of Berlin bas a letter from Pesth of the 5 th , which states that Count Schlick had repulsed tbe Magyaw , and compelled , them to take up a position at Groengios ; but the last bulletin of the Austrian army published at Vienna , says that Count Schlick marched from Hatvan on the 2 nd , but finding the enemy greatly superior , he fell back on Godollo to await reinforcements . The Ban Jellachich was attacked by the insurgents at Tapio-Bieska , but one of hh divisions repulsed the enemy , though greatly superior in number , and took from him five cannons . On the 5 th Field-Marshal \ indischgra tz attacked the enemy at Hatvan , but all that is said of it is that a division of cavalry attacked four divisions of Hungarian hussars , and obtained 1 a brilliant success . '

      Another account . says , — 'Abattle has been fought under the walls of Pesth , in which the Austrians fared worst . Tbe left wing of the Imperialists consists Of the Jablonowsky and Goz brigades , which occupy the ground from Waizen to Gyarmath ; the head quarters of tbe centre are at Godollo , commanded by Count Schliek . On the 4 th and 5 th the fighting was very severe , but the Imperialists did not lose an inch of ground . The right wing did not fare so well . Attacked by overpowering numbers it was compelled to fall back . The Ban has approached closer to the centre , thus permitting the enemy to advance nearer to the city . '

      Kossuth is with the Magyar forces . All accounts agree in asserting that the Magyar troops are very numerous , well armed , and accoutred ; that they are very near Pesth ; and that they fight like fanatics . A mechanic of Pres&burg has been sentenced to three years' imprisonment for propagating ' false reports ' " ( probably perfectly true ones ) from the teat of war . Later accounts are still contradictory . A letter from Vienna of the 9 th says : — ' The battle of Hatvan has lasted for two days , and when tbe last news came away was still raging with great , fury on all points . ' Another letter of the 10 th says : — We

      have just received the intelligence that the imperial army is before Pesth , and that the retreat of the baggage has been going on for forty-eight hours . ' The ' Cologne Gazette , 'in a Vienna letter of the Ilth , says : — ' We yesterday learned that the greater part of the insurgent army took up a position on the Rakosfeld , half a league from Pestb , and that a battle was about to take place . To-day we learn that the insurgents have offered battle to Prince Windiscbgratz , but their forces being superior he retired on Pesth . ' The ' Breslau Gazette' bas a letter from Pesth , dated the morning of the 7 th , which states that the Hungarian army , under Dembinski , was under the walls of Pesth , and that the Austrians were flying from the town . DEFEAT OF THE AUSTRIANS . —THE

      HUNGARIANS AT PESTH . The correspondent of tbe Daily News writes : — Vienna , April 13 th . —I have just received the information that Waitzen was taken yesterday , by storm , by the Magyar army . General Beta left part of his troops under the command of Messaros , and proceeded witb the rest to Pesth , where he arrived the day before yesterday , in the evening . Damianich , one of the best Servian Generals , was taken prisoner by the Magyars . Welden has left Vienna for Hungary .

      The Indepmdance of Brussels says , that it was reported at Vienna that the Hungarians had possessed themselves of Buda and Pestb , and were marching on Vienna . A Paris journal , the Tribune des PeupleS i has the following : — 'On the 8 th , a battle took place near Pesth , and when the courier left , the Imperial troops were retrograding on all their line . The victorious Hungarians were enveloping Pesth on all sides , and fighting was going on in the streets . The triumph of the Hungarians is no longer doubtful . ' • ¦ "

      DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES . The intelligence of Bern ' s victory at Kronstadt has excited the general expectation that he will take the direct road to Bucharest , excite the Wallachians against their oppressors , and the Osmanli , who are quite ready for it , to take up arms against Russia . He is standing at tbe Rubicon , and if he crosses it , he will fling a brand whose flames will extend to the Caspian Sea . The garrison of Galatz , we know , has already

      left for Bucharest , and 6 , 000 Russians , wvth thirtytwo pieces of artillery , have entered Wallachia . Bern wrote to General Luders , that he hoped they should eat the passover cakes together at Bucharest . The relation of Austria to the Porte is very precarious , in consequence of the position taken by Russia in regard to both Governments . The breach is as good as made . The Porte has recalled its ambassador from Vienna , and the Imperial internuncio , Count Sturmer , has responded to it by quitting ; Constantinople .

      The Porte is said to be possessed of information that an alliance exists between Austria and Russia whereby the existence of Turkey is sacrificed for Russian aid . The Turkish government has sent a note to the Austrian government , stating that the Porte alone has the privilege of intervention in Transylvania , and that the intervention of Russia in a territory of the Turkish kingdom in the internal conflicts of a third country cannot be tolerated . The position of the Turks is singular and painful in the extreme . They yield unwilling and dogged obedience to the command of their powerful neighbour , who can at any moment overawe them by a number of Christian rajahs—a neighbour who has suddenly assumed the Danubian principalities

      as his territory , and now demands tbe transit of the Dardanelles . Austria was their national ally against Russia , and Austria herself has become an ally against them . No marvel , therefore , if Bern finds friends in them , and if we are witnesses of the strange spectacle of seeing Hungarians , Poles , and Turks combined against the Christian Sclavomans of Turkey , and fighting with the Russians and Austrians . Events are not sufficiently ripe to enable us to prophecy what the immediate future will bring forth ; but they will be seen ere we are aware . The haughty Czarina once said , The way to Stamboul is by Cherson ! ' ere long it may be by Bucharest and Transylvania . —Gazette de Cologne , April 11 .

      RUSSIA AND TURKEY . The ' Cologne Gazette' publishes a letter from Jassy , of the 26 th ult ., which states that the relations between the Russians and the Turks were becoming every day more hostile . The" Turks appeared to expect a war . According to a letter front Constantinople in the ' Augsburg Gazette , ' , the populations of Turkey were presenting themselves to the recruiting officers with unaccustomed zeal , there being districts which offered to supply double the contingent demanded . It appears that the

      relig ious fanaticism of the people had been excited by the promises of a new combat against the infidels . At Bucharest there were almost every-day collision ' s between the Russian and Turkish soldiers , and the animosity even extended to the superior officers . On the other band , the Russians were arming with vigour . Their forces in the Danubian principalities amount to 97 , 000 men , and a Vienna journal says that the Russian ministry had demanded from the Porte that the period fixed for the evacuation of the principalities by the Russians should be prorogued to the 1 st May .

      a brief announcement of which arrived by the last " Lord Gough ' s army , which amounted to nearly 25 000 men witb 100 guns , encamped on the ^« tn in order of battle within four miles of the enemy , whose force was estimated at 60 , 000 men with sixty guns . They occupied the ground around trie village of Goojerat , in a position as well chosen as the nature of the country permitted . The British army moved to the attack early in the mornine of the 21 st , in a line nearly three miles from right to left . The action began with a heavy cannonade , in which our artillery which was admirably served , did such execution that the enemy ' s ^^ - ~ , . j .-. -.-pa victor ) Contain full particulars Of the > Mre J

      guns were speedily silenced . The infantry then advanced , driving the Sikhs before them in the utmost confusion ; the cavalry division was sent in pursuit , and hung upon the rear of the flying enemy until night prevented further operations . Of the sixty guns which the Sikhs brought into action , fifty , three were captured , with an enormous amount of ammunition , and the rest have , dou ? Jtless , been since taken by the corps detached in pursuit . Nor was this really decisive victory purchased by the terrible loss of life which has rendered Lord Gough ' s previous battles a source of mourning rather than of triumph . The British army has to lament five officers and ninety . two men killed , and twenty . four officers and 682 men wounded .

      On the day after the action General Gilbert , with a force of 12 , 000 men , was despatched towards the JheluiUt to seize and occupy Rhotas , Attock , Feshawur , and tbe whole frontier up to the passes of Afghanistan . He crossed the Jhelum on the 28 th , and took possession of the'town of that name , - with &ome mortars and ammunition which had been abandoned by the retreating army on that day . The advices from General Gilbert ' s corps reach to the 2 d ol March , at which date they had been compelled to halt on their advance to Rhotas by the extreme inclemency of the weather . A report had , however , been received that he hud taken possession of Kbotas . The principal objects of tbe campaign being thus achieved , it was expected that the mnin army under Lord Gough would soon retire , into quarters .

      Our advices from the Coaimaiuler-in-Chief ' s army are to the 3 d of March , on which day Lord Gough reviewed and inspected the whole of the troops . Permission to return to their appointments had been already given to several staff officers . There seems indeed , every reason to believe that the Sikh chiefs , who have twice sent Major Lawrence to treat for them , will submit to the only terms which have been conceded to them—an

      unconditional surrender . It was said that Lord Gough had sent in his r *< signatioh . No decision had , it was understood , been arrived at as to the annexation of the Puniaub .

      Russians and Circassians . —At a great military review which I attended , the mountaineers , of whom some hundreds daily visited Wladikaukas , seemed to look on with a peculiar interest . Their eagle eyes were immoveubly fixed on the rows of muskets in the Russian ranks . The regular movements of thousands at the word of command—the simultaneous clang , like a single report , of the arms during exercise—the marchings , the wheelings , the roll of the drums , ani the music—all this was a spectacle that excited their attention in the highest degree . The exercise was tolerably severe , for it lasted many hours ; the air was cold , snow fay npon tbe ground , and during tho inspection of the Jiavresackn , the soldiers were required to kneel down on the snow .

      To me the contrast was peculiarly interesting , between the broad-shouldered short-nosed Russians , and the slender Caucasians , with their aquiline profile , as they here stood opposed in numbers close , to each other . In the countenances of the one were uniform traits of patience and brute obedience ; every expression that could indicate an independent thought seemed drilled out of them . On tho other side , an audacious bearing , a bold mien , every indi vitlual a man , a complete hero in himself ! What must these Inguschcs these Tuchetsehenses , have felt at such a sight as this ? Their inward thoughts would

      hardly have been extorted by the closest inquiries ; one could quit attempt to divine them from the expression of their looks . I may have been mistaken , but I fancied that I read in them little that was favourable to the Russian system , These lookslull of pride , hatred and contempt—seemed to say , " Behold them , the vile slaves , who would fain make us bow under their ruler's yoke ! Is not their lot one of the most wretched ? Let us thank God that we do not as yet share it with them ; and let us go on fighting to the uttermost rather than become slaves such as they are ' . "—Warner ' s Caucasus and the Land of the Cossacks .
