ITALY . THE SIEGE OF ROME . Joxe 18- — Two notes ha ? e been interchanged indirectly between M . de Courcelles ( a new French p lenipotentiary , who arrived in camp some days ago ) and M . Mazzini , tSnich curiously illustrate not only the policy of tfec French cabinet , but a knotty point of iateraafioDSl Jaw . The $ rencbixan ' s note is not m > rth giving but Mazsini ' s will repay perusal Rome , June 15 , 1849 .
« Sir— -The feller which M » tie Courcelles writes to you , under date of the Utb , ana which 3 on bfive hid the goodness to comtesiucate to me , in » ie respect weakens , as you nsast iiave at once seen , the sense of the reply of the ftomau Constituent Assemblv- It is of l ' itJle waiter when f uch or such a Pr ' eneh -despatch is dated ; it is of little tfifctter that M- Lesseps was or wes not recalled at the moment when he affixed his signature to the « nf ? 2 r . tion of the 3 lst of May . 5 fce answer to all & « may be gtvea in ona word =-the Assembly knew nothing , of ¦ it ;; it has necar tei these despatches d ' Scially com" Efanicatedto it . . !
' The diplomat qaestion on onf Sl 3 e is thus propounded ;—M . ^ esseps was litewtsr ^ lenipotentiM-v of Trance on emission to Ro » e . fie was so forms on the 31 st < jfllay , as before . Nothing had reached ns lo inform -as of the contrary . We treated , tben , in full good faith with him , as if we were treating with France ; and this soed Aftfa was requited 4 o -us hy the occupation of Mcste Mario , in the night of the 26 tb to ' the 29 th of May . Engaged in a dissussion entirely pacific wife M . JLraseps having at least ths avoidance of everything which might precipitate a solution coEirary to our wishes , anS "being nnablif'to believe that France-would initiate its protective mission by the siege of Rome , we looked
inactively on every r oovemest of troops , t > n every operation of detail teading to narrow ths line of military defence ; awl whilst the French « rmy was gradaally drawing nearertoposUions which we should have wellknown how to-defend , M . Lesseps told as thsi the only object toss to satisfy the-feverish excitement of the troops / fatigued with tbeir inaction ? he entreated us , in "the-name of the two countries and of humauity , tea-void every hostile encounter , to place foil confidence in him , and have ne fear of ths consequences , ^ e consented willingly , I , for
my part , repent of st at this moment . I repent of it , not that I fear for Rome , hut because it is the breasts of brave men which defend what might have been defended by goed positions . On the 31 st of May , at eight o'clock in the evening , the convention between M . Lesseps and us was signed . He carried it to the camp , telling us that he regarded the signature of Genera ? < 0 n : linot as a simple formality , on t ? hich there coufci not existthe slightest doubt . We ¦ were all rejoicing . Things were about to resume , between France end ns , their natural coarse .
4 despatch of General Oudinot , containing a refusal to adhere to the convention , and declaring his conviction tfeat M . Lesseps , in signing it , had overstepped his powers , reached ns , I think , in the course of the night . A second despatch , dated June 1 , at half-past three in the afternoon , and signed by the General , informed us on his part' that the event had justified feis determination , and that in two despatches emanating from the Ministries of-War ana of Foreign Affairs , under date the 28 th and 29 th of May , the French government declared to him that the mission of M . Lesseps was terminated . ' Twenty-four hours were granted to us to accept the nltima ' tum of Mav 29 . The same day , as you
know , M . Lesseps addressed to us a communication , in which he said , ' I maintain the arrangement signed yesterday . I set out for Paris to obtain i > s ratification * . This arrangement has been concluded in virtue of my instructions , which au ' -horised me to devote mvself exclusively to the . negotiations and relations to be established vsith the Roman authorities and the people . ' * The same day , at a later hour , General Ondinot intimated to us that hostilities would recoramenc ¦ , but that , at the request of the Chancellor of the French Embassy , the attack of the place would be dekved to Monday morning at least . ' "
'On the Sunday the attack took place , and the consequences 10 us cf this want of faith -was the occupation of the Villa Pamfili , and the capture of two companies there cut off—an event which doubtlessfigures in the bulletin of the 3 d . These 200 men surprised in their sleep , are now , with the tweniyfour prisoners made during the day , at Bsstia , in Corsica . Now , what have we to do , I ask you , sir , with the despatch of the 26 th May , quoted for the first time in the Mter of M . da CourceHes ? WJiat has the Roman government to do with the despatches cited by General Oudinot ? "We have never seen these despatches , sheir contents are in no respect
known to us , and have not been officially communicated' to us . We have on one side the affirmations of General Ondinot ; on the other , those of the 3 ? rencb . Minister-Plenipotentiary ; they contradict each other . Let Prance settle this , if ehe can , in a manner to keep her honour unimpaired . Betwf en a Minister Plenipotentiary and the General commanding an army , our A-sembly thought Itself bound to accept the version of facts given by the Plenipstentiary . I think U dM well ; and I wish you to observe . , sir , that it is only to-day—the tenth day of the siege Of Rome— tbat the presence of M . de Courcelies in eamp , in quality of envoy , is officially thousrb . indirectly known to cs .
• Vefeh the dates of the official notes , compare them with the date of the occupation of Monte Mario and the operations of the French array , and tell rue , sir , if , in coolly examining the diplomatic question , Europe would not be obliged to say , ' the Trench government only wished to play with that of Home . General Oa¬ dishsnesiij' profiled by the good faith of these composing it to draw closer the circle of attack , to occupy favourable positions , and to ensure the possibility of surpr ising the ciiy . Either the despaJch oi the 2 Gth does not esJsi , or it has not been communicated in time to M . Lesseps . ' The despatch of May 29 was , in fact , known in
th ? French camp on the morning of the 1 st June ; that of the 26 th might then have readied the hands of General Oudinot by the 29 th May . If tho General-in-Chief did not at that time produce it in order to suspend all negotiation and the negotiator himself , it may be thought that he wished > o avail himself of the semblance of negotiation to paralyse the vigilance and force of ths Romans ; to mak ? himself master , by little and little , without meeting resistance of their beat positions ; remaining sure of beiag able , by producing the despatch of May 26 to put a stop at his will to every negotiation which should not please him , and to every armistice , as soon as he should be resdv to act .
Permit me to say , sir , with the frankness _ be-« omisg a man of heart , the conduct of the Raman Government has never , during these negotiations , deviated a single hair's breadth from tbe path oi honour . The French Government cannot say as much . France , thanks be to God ! is not in question : a brave and generous nation , she is tbe victim of a base intrigue , as we are . * To-day your cannons fire upon our walls , your bombs rain on the Holy City . France has had * the
glory in the past night , of killing a poor girl in the Trastevere , whilst sleeping beside her sister . Our young officers and new-made soldiers , our workmen , fall under your fire , crying ' Long life to the Republic I' The brave soldiers of Franco fall under ours , without a cry or murmur , like dishonoured men . I am sure there is not one who does not say , trhilsi dv ' mg , what one of your deserters said tons to-day : 'We feel something in us which tells ns we are combatting brothers . '
'And why so ? . Neither you nor I can tell . France bas no battle-flag here ; she is combatting men who love her , and who np to yesterday had faith in her . She seeks to burn a city which has done her no barm , without political object or avowed end , without right to vindicate , or mission to fulfil . . .. We at least know why we are fighting ; and it is because we know it that we are strong . If France represented here any ef those ideas whieh constitute the grandeur of nations , and once constituted hers , the bravery of her children
would cot be futile against tbe breasts of our young recruits . It is a . sad page written by tbe band of your government in the history of France ; it is a mortal blow struck at the Papacy , which yon wish to sustain , but which you are drowning in blood ; it is a bottomless gulf which yon are digging between nations called to aet in concert for the good of the world , and which for ages have stretched their hands to each other ; it is an assault on international morality , and on that liberty which France cauaot maintain without faith and intelli .

the like devilish inventions . The Romans on thei _ part are not idle . We know by telegraphic de snatch , given in the Monitore Toscano , ' the resul ofthedehate in the French Assembly on foreign affairs , of Monday , June 11 . The firing to-day is rather more active than yesterday , but Oudinot seems to have desisted from his bombardment for The height of San Pietro Montorio , immediately under which the breach lies , is now much stronger ( ban it was before . I de not ihhk the French wLU ever take that . __ . ¦ „ ..
Incidents of the Siege . — To describe the various incidents cf the engagement woultt be lemons , but an atsedotn of a ' hair taeadth escape' of a Polish soldier ,, in the uattieQf Ponte Molle on the 155 b , \ 3 so singular as to 'Rerit relating . A * asmo near the bridge jointly eccupied by Poksand Italians , was observed fiw . fi the eminence to poet forth itstire regularly * nd -powerfully , and the second in 'Command of Use operations , Colonel MSwtiz , was-tnxious that tfee little-garrison should net be surrounded and overpowered by the advanctsg-French . He therefore sent a message by the Pale in ' question , who sacceeded in threading his dan * erous < path across the plain , and reached the
honse instfety . On crossing the court and ascending-the stairs our messenger suddenly found himself in : tke midst of the enemy : the French were already in possession of the house , and were firing fronrtbe windows on the repulsed garrison in the vineyard . The mutual surprise was followed by shoots of ah ] gredhil attgnds , canaillel and a volley from the French , which the Pole escaped by dashing down stairs , and rushing into the road pursued i-y his enemies . A butt in the middle of the road gave him a momentary shelter , and an opportunity of discharging his musket , which doae he jumped over the fence amidst a sbower of balls , and got hack unhurt to head quarters .
I visited the Porta Portese yesterday afternoon , witnessed the damage produced in the walls and bouses , anfl traversed the whole extent of the Trastevere quarter , where , although balls , rockets , and shells were conticually falling , as the French batterries were at that moment in great activity , the inhabitants were sitting out of doors with the greatest sang froid , women nursing and suckling their infants , soldiers lounging about , waiting for the fatal < moment , and men—Trasteverini , Romans
par excellence — p laying at pitch and toss , or morru , for a rang of wine , with a ? much gusto as if ibe infernal racket and deadly projectiles around had been a thousand leagues off . But these same men , when roused to' fury ? will show the French that some of the ferocity of the elder republic still lurks in their veins . Bands of the lower orders are organispd in every quarter ; and pikes and hatchets , wielded bythe stalwart arms of labauring men , will tell fearfully in the close quarters of street
warfare . The wafer of the Pauline aqueduct , now cut off by tbe French , hitherto served to turn the chief part of the Roman flour mills . The municipality has , tberefore , been forced to provide other mills , and three , turned by the current of the Tiber , are already inactivity . Steam will likewise be soon employed for the same purpose , but , in order to prevent an undue consumption of fine flour in the present emergency , the bakers have been prohibited from making French rolls , and only two qualities of bread are now lo be had .
The ' Moniteur' ( French ) publishes despatches from General Oudrnot , dated Santucci , the 24 th of June , from which it appears tbit he had made no advance , and was fortifying himself on the breach . The French had found greater obstacles on their way than they had anticipated . The Romans unmasked several batteries on the o 3 d wall cf Aurelian , which raked with a flauking fire the new position taken by the French on the breach . The resistance of the besieged continued with great persisence , notwithstanding the knowledge of the affairs of Paris and Lyons .
Another battery of siegs pieces of the 1 st Regiment of Artillery left : Grenoble on the 28 th ult . for Toulon , where it was to he embarked for Civita Vecchia ; and letters from Marseilles , referred to by the National , ' state that reinforcements to a considerable amonnt were embarked on the 26 th for the sanis place . ( From the' Daily News . ' Rcbib , June 22 . —I write in all the pandemonian complication of sounds which accompany the assault of a large and populous city by an enterprising and well-organised enemy , aodin all the uncertainty which attends the consciousness that a few hours more may decide the destinies of a whole
people , and perhaps of the whole world . The cannon has been unceasingly occupied for eighf-andforty hours , nor have the ciiizens or soldiers been able to get an atom of repose night or day . Mj last communication msde you acquainted with she course of events up to tbe afternoon of the 20 i . h . The whole ot that night was industriously spent by the Romans in repairing tbeir damaged walls' on the Janicu ' uja , and in forming earthen ramparts and trenches within their circuit , so as to constitute second and third lines of defence , should the enemy , after battering down the outer bastions , succeed in forcing his entry at the breach . In this operation they were grievously annoyed by the shower of
grenades , si-el ' s , rockets , and cannon bails constantly discharged from the French guns ; but workmen and soldiers vied in courage and perserverance , and carried on their labours in spite of all obstacles , with energy and constancy . Towards two o ' clock in the morning a column of French , consisting of two or three companies , attempted to surprise one of the Hunan outposts , at a casitio near the Villa Corsini , alias Quatro Venti . The little garrison was formed of only thirty soldiers of the LVione regiment , hut was snfikibiitly on the alert to perceive the enemy creeping cautiously thromih the vineyards , surromuiing the house , and sufficiently cool and determined to allow ban to come under the do way ,
and to tbe foot of the stairs , previous to attacking him . The French officers-no sooner shouted to their men to ' charge bayonets , ' than the Romans rushed furiously upon them down the stairs , firing hardly a shot , but driving them out of the house at the point of the bayonet , killing a captain , wounding sixteen or seventeen privates , and making four prisoners . The remainder of the day was chiefly occupied by cannonading on both sides , with the loss of a lieutenant of artillery and two privates on the Romans ' part , and their temporary deprivation of the valuable services of of Lieut . Colonel Calandrelli , also of thesrtillery , who was severely bruised by a splinter . Daring the afternoon the French fire
increased ,-and a sufficiently large portion of the parapet was destroyed to afford a practicable breach ; but no attempt was made to scale until shortly before daybreak this morning , when a tremendous and long-continued discharge of all sorts of projsctilas having cleared the breach of its defenders , three or four companies of French infantry succeeded in dashing in , and occupying a casino , called Villa Sclarra , a stone ' s throw inside the wall , between the thiid and fourth bastion , reckoning southwards from Porta San Pancrazio . Their first care was to blockade themselves strongly within , abundance of materials having been left there by the workmen employed on the barricades , . and they next
proceeded to heighten the breastworks in front of the building already begun by the Romans , so as to ferm a little fortress backed by the City walls . In this condition I have just witnessed them , holding out against a very severe fire from two batteries , one at San Pietro in Montorio , and tbe other a Jittle below , whose object is evidently that of battering the house down about their ears before they can receive aid from without . I saw a very bold attempt Jo taka the posih ' on by sSorni half an hour ago . Ths Romans succeeded in getting under the walls , but the house being very strong , with a high terrace nail and numerous windows , from whence the French kept up a murderous fire behind sacks and
mattresses , the assailing column was obliged to retreat , and the artillery resumed the undertaking with a tremendous fracas . It may form a subject of just surprise why the Romans should have abandoned the house so easily . The blame remains with the officer commanding a detachment of the 3 rd regiment of the line , 150 men , whose duty it was to defend the post . He took flight on the approach 0 / the enemy , and his base example spread a panie through his soldiers , who , although part of a corps remaining firom the old Papal army , and used more to processions and benedictions than battle-fields hav other
e , oc some occasions , as lately at Velletri performed their part efficiently . The officer is said to have been shot immediately , but the jreu complaining loudly of hh treachery , hire demanded ' to be placed at the head of the column , destined to re-take the lost position , in order to have an opportumty of retrieving their honour . It is , of course , an immense advantage to the French to have 500 msn , strongly posted within the breach , and ready to take the defenders in the " rear when they man the battered wall 3 to oppose the entry of the attacking cjlamns , and they are fortunate in having bold and experienced soldiers ready to execute any orders in

Under the protection of this advanced guard the main body of the French ire preparing a ro ? , d up the breach and rendering it practicable for 9 jtillery *—but Garibaldi j 8 about to make a desparr ^ e attack on their lines , in order , if possible , to- .-eader tbeir labour fruitless , and cut off all hopes , of succonr from the occupants of the Villa Sci ? . rraa . The drums of the national guard and the be \ ls of all the churches call the citizens to the de-(¦ men of the walls in bis absence .
Haw- * astOne , p . m . —I have just returned from again viewing the scene of action . The cannonading has diminished ; the disputed casino is in a very ruinous condition , and the French cannot show their noses at the barricaded windows without receiving a salute of musketry . A picquet of Garibaldi's men has worked round to the bastion Eoalh and immediately contigu ous to the house , in order to hold the garrison in check during the sortie . The infernal racket of . last night was considerably augmented by the cannon of the Monte Pincio , which was efficaciously employed in repulsing an attack on the Villa Poniatowsky , an eminence on the rig ht g (
the Porta del Popolo , of which the French were anxious to become masters . Several thousand pounds of gunpowder , coming from Viterbo under a feeble escorr , took the circuitous road of the Porta Maggiore to reach the city in safety , but the French cavalry seized the whole at a few miles distance from the gates . The priests and their adherents make wonderfully dexterous spies , and the enemy receives constant and exact intellieence of everything going on in Kome , as well as plans of all lines and barricades , by means of signals from elevated windows , and papers floated down the Tiber in bottles .
The damage hitherto produced by the French projectiles is chiefly limited to the Trastevere and Jews ' quarter , where also some innocent lives have been sacrificed by them . Amongst the monuments of art in other parts of the city which have been injured by this Vandalic assault may be mentioned the famed ' Aurora' of Guido , a fresco in the Palazza Rospig-Jiosi : the same sacrilegious ball ( a twenty-fourpounder ) passed dose to the celebrated colossal
equestrian figures of Phidias ana Praxiteles on the Quirinal . The temple of Fortuna Virilis , one of the most esteemed specimens of ante-imperial architecture extant , has been seriously battered by a thirtysix-pound shot . The Capitol , the churches of Santa Maria in Trastevere , St . Andrea della Valle , Sf , Carlo in Caticari ( containing beautiful frescos by Domenichino ) , St . Cosimato ( possessing paintings by Pinturicchio and valuable archives ) , as well as many other ed . fices , have suffered more or less .
The ( Paris ) < Moniteur ' publishes a'despatch from Seneral Oudinot , dated Santucci , the 26 th ult ., giving an account of the siege operations up to that date . Two pieces of the Romans' artillery , stationed on the heights of St . Alexis , were silenced by the battery No . 2 . On the 24 th and 25 th the occupation of the bastions was extended and consolidated . It was to be further extended to the right , so as to cut off the communication of the Porta Portese with the Montario . On the night of the 24 th , and the day of the 25 ib , the working at the batteries continued . The consuls at Rome have protested against the bombardme . it of the city—that is , what they call so , and what M . de Corcelles does not admit to be a bombardment at all . ' Rome , June 24 , 7 p . m .
' General , — -The undersigned consular agents , representing their respective governments , take the liberty to express to yon their profound regret that you should have subjected the' Eternal City to a bombardment of several days and nights'duration The object of the present communication , General , is ( 0 make the most energetic remonstrances against this mode of attack , which not only places in danger the lives and properties of neutral and pacific inhabitants , but also those of innocent women and children . We venture . General , to inform you that this bombardment has already cost several 'innocent persons their lives , and caused the destruction of masterpieces of art which ran nevur be replaced . We placs confidence in yon , General , that ; in the name of humanity and of civilised nations , you will desist

SUSPENSION OF HOSTILITIES . The substance of the following despatch was coraffiunicated tiy ftf . Odiiion Barrot to the French legislative as&enilily , in the sitting of Tuesday ;—' Marseilles , July 3 , 8 o clock in the morning . ' Civita Vecchia , 'July 1 , 10 o ' clock . 'M . de Corcelles to the Minisier of Foreign Affairs . ' General Oudinot addresses to the government intelligence of the carrying of a new bastion , No . 8 , in the night of the 29 th ult . The telegraphic despatch of the General will make known to you the details of this affair , which is , perhaps , decisive . The enemy has lost a good many men and demands to capitulate . I receive this instant from
General Oudinot the following : — ' On the 30 th ult . the Roman Constituent made a decree couched in these terras : —The Assembly ceases a defence , which has become impossible . It charges the Triumvirate with the execution of the present decree . ' At the same time the General-in-Chief of the Roman army demanded ( at seven o ' clock ) a suspension of hostilities , and announced the departure for the French head-quarters of a deputation from the Roman Municipality . 1 am about to start for head-quarters , which I left yesterday afternoon at three e ' clock with'Messrs .. d'Harcourt and de Rayneval . Not knowing the resolutions of the Roman authoriiies , they left for Gaeta in the morning . I have caused them to be informed by an advice boat .
• P . S . — -I have received intelligence from headquarters that the General-in-Chief has received the Uoman Municipality , and begs of me to join him . I leave this instant . ' Ax con a , June 24 . —For three days the black and yellow flag has drooped over this crushed city . Old General \ Vim » ffrn chose the 21 st as the anniversary of the Pope ' s accession to commemorate the restoration of the Pope ' s government by Austrian arms . In the morning high mass was celebrated ,
the ' Austrian hymn sans , medals ; distributed ; . and then the army filed off to peals oi cannon before ihe Commander Zambeccari . Matiolt and others took refuge on board the English brig of war Frolic , which sailed for Corfu , and Fontana set out for his home . All the free corps were dissolved on the 20 th ; end the roads have been ever since covered with parties returning to their homes—unarmed , but still in uniform , with epaulettes of red wool and foraging caps .
PIEDMONT . ..: Some of the Turin journals have appeared with a black margin , in consequence of the alleged death of Charles Albert , jhe ' Piedmontese Gazette' of the 28 th ult . has no sign of mourning , and states that the telegraphic despatch of Bayonne announcing the ex-king ' s death was not official ; that the last accounts received by government were up to the-13 th ult ., and rather favomable , but ( hat as the Sardinian consul at Bayonne has also announced to the cabinet the fact of his Majesty ' s death s government had thought proper to close the theatres for that evening , till the truth of the fact he ascertained .
THE , SIEGE OF VENICE . The ' Risorgimeuto , ' of Turin , publishes a letter from Venice of the 20 th ult . The National Assembly had named a military commission for the defence of the city , who were independent of Maniu . This measure had been tbe cause ot discontent among the people , who saw with regret Alauin ' s authority curtailed . The bombardment continued without " interruption , but without damage to the city , as the greater part of the shells fell into the water . A decisive attack upon Brondolo was , it was stated , contemplated by the A ustrians , who were actively at work at their fortifications . The powder magazine of the island Delia Grazie had been blown up by accident on the 19 th ult ., and caused a violent shock , which was felt throughout Venice ; but the damage was . not great . Negotiations for peace were in progress .

unwonted instance of at » officer in the French army being condemned to death by court-martial . The facts are as follows t— Captain KleVer , of the 4 ih regiment of the line , whose arrest was announced a few dgys ago , was on Monday brought to trial before a court-martial , on the charge of having been guilty —first , of the crime of treason , on June 13 th , by uttering seditious cries calculated to cause the soldiers under bis orders to revolt ; and next , for having deserted his post in presence ot the enemy . The accused had long been known for the violence of his Socialist opinions and for the vehemence of his language ; and on the day in question was even more pxcited than usual , speaking in strong terras agams
the expedition to Italy , and against the President or the Republic . On tha t day he was stationed on the Boulevard desltaliens at the heart of bis company , and when the Red Republican demonstration appeared he waved his sword and ' ohouted , ' Vivela Constitution . ' His soldiew at the same time remained perfectly calm ; Shortly after he went without leave into a efffee-house , leaving the soldiers under the orders of other officers . After the case against fcira was coucluded , the prisoner denied that his general opinions and language were so extreme as had been represented . He , however , admitted that , during the demonstration of the 13 th , he had cried , Vive la Constitution . ' If ( he added ) he had
left his company , it was to obtain refreshment ; bat he remained away so short a time that his absence could havelcarcely been remarked . Commandant Plee , as public prosecutor , supported the charge of treason , but abandoned that of desertion . He insisted that , under present circumstances , the rules of discipline ought to be strictly maintained . M . Philippon de la Madeleine pressnted the defence of the accused . The Court , after an hour ' s deliberation , declared Captain Kleber guilty of treason , but acquitted him on the charge of desertion ; and inconsequence condemned liim to death . The sentence
caused a painful impression on the auditory ; and a lady , said to be a relative of the prisoner , uttered a piercing cry , and was carried out of court in Iiystcrics . Immediately after the sitting was brought to a close , the'President and members of the court signed a petition to the President of the Republic for a commutation of the sentence . The prisoner who is only thirty-one years of age , is of the family of the celebrated General Kleber , Coramander-in-Cbief of the army of Egypt , and he is the son of an oli soldier . He has two brothers in the array , both of whom are captains . '

M . Piquet de Belay , sub-Chief of the Marine Department , was apprehended last night . M . Piquet was an intimate friend of citizen Thore , and it was through him the secret information relative to the navy , published in the Socialist journals , is stated to have been obtained . The publication of the details respecting this branch of the service long puzzled the government , cs they were never abla to make out how such accurate information could have been obtained . Written proofs of thi 3 were found in his apartment , together with a mass of papers belonging co M . Thore , which the latter had requested him to keep for him . The police are still actively engaged in searching for Ledru Ilollin , who , they are certain , is concealed in Paris .

GERMANY . BADEN AND THE PALATINATE . —Ne > a from Mannheim of June 28 , confirm the fact that Rastadt has been occupied by the Prussian troops , that the greater part of the insurgent chiefs had been arrested at Offenbwg , ' which had been taken during the previous night by Wurtemberg troops . The ' Mayence Gazette , ' however , says that Mieros . lasvski , with the remnant of his force , had not thrown himself into the fortress , which would have
rendered his retreat impossible either into France or Switzerland , but that he had retired behind the Murg into the defiles of the Black Forest , where he seems resolved to defend himself to the . last extremity . This explains why the troops of the empire were able to occupy Rastadt without resistasce . Twenty thousand Prussians marched on the 28 tn at five in the morning , for the valley of the Murg . The Prussian General Jlrandenstein had been named governor of Carlsruhe , where he has already sus-

pended ai ( the journals , with the-exception th j « Carlsruhe Gazette / this latter being authorised to appear under the superintendence of a staff officer . All the clubs and political associations have been dissolved , and only the national guard , who do garrison duty , are permitted to wear arms . The above appeared in the Daily News' of Mon . day . The following contradicting the report ol the capture of Rastadt , appeared in that paper of Tuesday : «—'The statement of tbe ' Mentz Gazette , ' that the fortress of Rastadt had been taken by the Prussians , is an unfounded one . It is certain that the fortress is well provisioned , and that Mteroslawski has more
than 10 . 000 troop 3 in the vicinity ; so that the capture of it without a fierce struggle is not likely . The op&rations of the Prussian troon 3 in the Baden Oberland commenced on tbe 28 th of June . The Hessian troops , forming the advanced posts of the array of the empire ( which must not be confounded with the Prussian army ) had taken up their quarters in Ettlingcn and Malsch . An immense number of Prussian troops marched through Carlsruhe on the 28 th , en route for Rastadt . According to the testimony of several deserters from the Baden army , ( he remainiug iasurgents were resolved to Combat to the very last . According to the statement of a Prussian
officer , the Prussians lost 200 in killed and wounded daring the conflict near Waghausel on the 22 nd . He speaks in terras of praise of the strategetical arrangements made by Mieroslawski . In the above little town , the Prussians killed all the inmates of the extensive sugar manufactory of flerr Von Haber , after one of the comrades of the formar bad been killed ( as alleged ) by a sbofc from one of the cellars ef the establishment . Eight thousand Austrian troops are stationed along the road between Bludenz and Bregenz . Four thousand more will shortly arrive . These troops will be shortly marched into Baden , under the command of Prince Charles von
Schwartzenberg . On the 28 th ult . a large body of troops was being concentrated round Radstadt , in which Mhroxlawski is said to have shut himself up with 10 , 000 insurgents , and was preparing for a desperate resistance . The Baden soldiers wlio liad joined tbe insurgents were deserting in great numbers . The place was provisioned for several weeks . Accounts to the 29 th ult ., state that there was a sanguinary battle on that day in the neighbourhood of Malasch and Muggenstiirm , small towns situated between Carlsruhe and Rastadt . The contest raged from ten in the movning till nightfall * , and even
journals favourabje to tbe Prussians admit that the loss of the latter was considerable . Some of those journals assert that the Prussians succeeded in repulsing the revolutionary array , and even in taking possession of the outer works of the fortress of Rastadt . The French government has received the following- telegraphic despatch from Strasburg , dated the 3 rd ' MieroslawUri arrived at Bale on the 2 tul , with his staff , and left almost immediately for LiechtaU , in tbe canton of Bale Campagne . Mierder , the ex-Minister of Fiuance of the provisional government at Baden , was arrested the same day at Bale , and his effects were sequestrated . '
THE WAR IN HUNGARY . The details of the battle of Pc . red , fought on the 21 st ult ., are at length given . The Hungarians , commanded by Gorgey in person , were-about 30 , 000 strong , with eighty pieces of cannon . On the side of the Austmns ths whole corps of Wohlgemuth , the brigade of Pott , and a corps of 10 , 000 Russian auxiliaries under Panintin , were brought into action . The engagement lasted from five in the morning till eig ht in the evening . It began favourably for the Hungarians , but tbe continued reinforcements which their enemy received turned the scale , and the repeated storm upnu Pared where the Imperialists were barricaded did not succeed . Gorcw . after sustaining
the brunt of an enemy greaily superior in numbers , for twelve hours , was obliged to retreat over the Vaag , breaking off behind him the bridges ot Farkas . fl ana Neggcd , which had been thrown over during the night . The loss on both sides was severe . A Russian colonel and four other i-lussiau officers fell , and the Austrian Major Fischer . Few prisoners were made . The three following days passed without fighting . But on the Austrian side great activity tvas visible in the dislocation of troops to the right bank of tte Danube at Presburg . From 30 , 000 to 35 , 000 men were conveyed across , wiih much heavy artillery and cavalry . The next battle of imporlauce from the west may therefore be expected to take place on the right bank .
The * Wiener Zeitung' adds that , according to despatches tbat day received from Oedenburg , the imperial army reached Papa , twenty-four miles south of liaab , on the 24 th . Papa was set fire to in several places .-. The Austrians continued their march towards the Bakony forest , meeting with no opposition . The Hungarians fled before them to the great lake Platten-See . The same official paper says that despatches of the 22 nrJ , from the head-quarters of Paskswitch , announced a victory over tbe Magyars in the Zips .
The last news ( 25 th ) from Presburg states that a corps of Magyars , 20 , 000 strong , bad appeared in Tutscbin , under Beniizky . The Hussian head-quarters in Ih 6 west were at Freistadtl . Ic was reported that seven Austrian officers had been shot in Debreczin , in reprisal far the execution of the preacher Razzs , at Presburg . On the 19 th , off Semlin , ' two barges laden with ammunition for the Ban ' s camp , and towed by the stcatn-tug , D breczin , blew up . Many lives ' were lost , and the steamer greatly damaged . ' On board the barges were 200 centners of powder , rockets , grenades , balls , and some pieces of artillery ; twenty men were killed , and thirteen mortally wounded ' , among the latter a Lieutenant of Artillery . Besides the amrnunilbn a large supply of corn was destroyed . The damage is estimated at 200 , 000 fiarins .
Six of the Palatiual hussars , four corporals , and two privates , have . been executed at Bruck , the rest restored to the ranks , and sent into Italy . CAPTURE OF BAAU BY THE RUSSIANS AND
AUSTRIAN ' S . The great city of Raab was taken by assault by the Ausirianson the 28 th ult ., after a most sanguinary baUle . At half-past four the same day ' the young Emperor of Austria entered the town , fol . lowed by the 1 st corps d' armee . — Morning Chronicle . The 'Daily News' has the following version :-The rumour which prevailed on the 28 tli ult . of the occupation of Ilnab bv the Austro . Russian array ,
has been to-day confirmed by a telegraphic despatch received from the seat of war . The Austrian vanguard entered Raab at ten in the morning . There was no battle ; only cannonading by the rear of the retreating Hungarian army . The emperor , who rode at the head ot' the first army corps , entered at four in the afternoon into Raab , which is now the headquarters of the imperial army . The Hungarian head-quarters are removed to Gonyo , which is nearly opposite Gumorn .
