      ITALT . THE TALL OF ROME . . The following letters ( which we extract from the ' i > aily JJsws' } were written previous lo the capitulation of the city . " EomkJ 3 tjxe ' 26 . —A brisk attack "was inade last night along the whole line from Porta PtsrteEC to Porta Cavalleggieri , find the Bastion to the right o ; Porta PancrsEio ( at -winch point the batteries of ihe Renchinthe Villa Gmrsini have been labouring to effect a new breach for the last two tlajs ) was the part prinripa ' . ly assaaltca . The Remans were not , however , to becsoght unawares , as ^ at the Gasiao Barheriai , oa tfea 21 st ; they repr ised ihe enemy vigorously , and a fire of musketry a ^ d j-rapeshot . or Iboat two hcers must Lace inflicted considerable loss nn the assailants . . '

      _ _ .. The news of Anconalaving ¦ airrendered Iras made $ ut little impression here , everybody's attention teing new directed to hjndsing ibe breach irons entering . Their attack on-tfae bastion to the right of Siui Pancraz : o . and « n the large Villa Vascello teyonfi the gate iast night was peculiarly ensuccessfnl-as , being made by-close columns , the Roman cannon told tremendously amongst their ranks . Tli . attacks on the other cates . were made by sharpshooters and light iufaniry merely to oeate a -diversion . _ ..... __ i

      It is quite delinhtfal to Eee Garibaldi ' s soldiers -newly dressed and wearing clean shirts after twentyifive days and nights of continual combat and watching , without ever taking their clothes off their backs . The major part of them are already returned to San Pancrazio . It is ramoured that their general wished to make a sortie from the Porta del Popolo last sight , but that the triumvirate overruled his intention . He visited the Trastevere quarter yesterday afternoon , on leaving the Jamculum , and inspected tbe damages resulting from the French shells and balls . The women salated him with loud shouts of " "Viva Garibaldi * aad Vivail nostro protettore !' to which he replied that he feared they were tired of the bombardment . 2 ? o , ho , ' said they , « let the bombs come : we are not afraid of them , and we turn an honest penny by them . *

      The property of the King of Naples in this City lias been formally confiscated , and placards are placed on the doors of his palaces and gardens , with the inscription , * Property of the Republic ; long live the repnblic !' Jonb 27 . —It appears that the French prefer nocturnal attacks to diurnal ones . Last nijht , abont 11 o ' clock , tbey . again assaulted tbe line extending f rom Porta Portese lo Porta Cavalleggieri , but without being able to effect an entry ( if such was their intention . ) The moon afforded a feeble light whereby to carry on the operation , bat a thick fog , following ibe intense heat of the day , soon rendered it almost useless . A continual fire of musketry , with

      occasional discharges of grape , kept tbe enemy at bay , and the morning light showed that his close columns Lad left many victims under the ramparts . Tbe attack was not , however , without an advantageous resnlt to tbe French , considering it as a mere diversion } sines they were enabled , under its cover , to establish three batteries on that point of the Janiculnm in tbe power of the advanced guard—one on the left of the Casino Barberini , another on the breach in tbe curtain , between the second and third bastion , and tbe last behind a tower on tbe second bastion to tbe left of Porta San Pancrazio , which forms tbe ex » rema left of their present position , from these batteries a powerful fire was opened at

      day break , and vigorously replied to by the Roman batteries of the Casino Spada , contiguous to the first bastion , that of the first bastion ( which is the highest of all ) , that of San Piclro in Montorio , and , occasionally , that of San Cosimato . Tbe battery of the Pini , below San Pietro , in Montorio , bsicg too exposed , did not fire . With a good map o ! Home you will now , I think , be able to get aa exact knowledge of the respective situations of the two armies , bearing in mind ' that tbe ancient line of wall of the time of Aureliau ( rebuilt by Honor ius ) " forms ihe present line of defence adopted by the Koreans . Ths whole day has been employed in a cowbat of artillery , in which the Roman cannon appears to Lave had : he advantage . By seven o ' clock in themorniag ihe French battery at tbe Casino Barberini was

      silenced , and that suuated on the breach was so tormented by the guns of San Pielro id iionlorio that its fire was only kept up at intervals . Tbe battery behind the tower on the second bastion , being in a ra&re covered position , maintained itself in activity tbe wholsday , ar . d is the only one u ; ed by the French this afternoon . The canuons of the Avenliue an « l Tcstaccio have been also engaged with the enemy's pieces , situated in the Vigna Merluzzetto , on the right bank of the Tiber , senih of the third bastion , and those on the eminence to the left of the Basilica sf St . Paul extra muros . V / ith all this music ( as the Romans call it ) going on day and night , it may well be imagined that repose is ont of the question , and the troops stationed in the actual scene of conflict must be quite worn out .

      Ihe French depredations continue . Their numerous cavalry gives them an advantage in being able to send detachments to all the principal roads , and intercept the carts coming into the city . This morning tbey carried off 150 carts , chiefly laden with pine . It is said that the French commissarygenera ] pays the soldiers at a very low rate for oxen , corn , win ? , and whatever other booty they can lay their fraternal hands on in the Caaipagna , charging Ms own government with the fail value . The worthy contractor is thus realising an enormous fortune , whilst ihe solniti-s are too happy to be paid for robbing . The sufferers are tbe Romans , wbosa " liberty and order" are such a source of anxiety to their * ' protectors . '' Atnonscst other things borne off by

      the Jreebooters yesterday was the stock of frozsn snow , of winch there 13 a large deposit on the Alban Ml , and v . « ich causes almost daily to Rome during ihs summer . Tbe conseqnence is , thai the wounded are deprircd of iis cooling virtues in the hospitals , and the habitues of the cafes must manage to get over this evening without their accustomed iced malonelle or granite , l ' eople ought certainly not to complain of Hie ioss of ices iu a besieged ci * y , but to prohibit the tntry of that "which is almost more imporiant than medicine in the hospitals during tLis sultry -weather , is a dastardly trait in the French commander , especially as many oi his crwn soldiers are charitably brought into the city to be cured of their wounds .

      Another proceeding of General Oudinot ' s has produced fresh irritation against him amongst the Romans . Since the cf-nsulsr protest he has not continued to bomitard the town , but be lias pointed two ibiriy-six-ppus&rs against the high range extending from ths Trhiila de Monti to the Quirinal , which batter ths houses and do almost as much mischief as shells . June 2 S . —We have bad another night of cannonading , but the : e is no material change in the State of things this morning . The French cannon o !

      the 2 nd bastion baiters San Pietro in Montorio so severely that ifce church , in which a hospital has been established for the severely wounded , is no longer safe , in spite of the black flag which indicates its sacred character . The Romans are therefore obliged to transport tbe unfortunate -inmates elsewhere , and tbe battery of San Pietro is silent during the operation . Two pieces on tbe breach , poSnteri against the town , fire ' continually , and are answered by the Roman battery of ilie 1 st bastion . The French battery to the left of tne Casino Barberini is silent .

      The Pauline water is again cut off . It is said that the French fear mines , and flood tbe environs in order to soak the powder . Of the termination of the struggle we have no intelligence from Rome itself ; thefollowing meagre and one-sided accounts arc principally taken from the French journals : —As far . as we can judge , it ¦ was on the 30 th thrdthe French assaulted the hastionXo . 8 . It is not certain whether the assault "was effected from the exterior front , or from the interior ; but as the French were previously in possession of the neighbouring bastion , ] S * o . 7 , ; it is

      Xrobahle thatKo . 8 was attacked from behind , and fcy the gorge . It was in the taking of this bastion ihnttheiOO Roman troops were Jrilled , and 200 taken prisoners . It was at the same time that the Erench attacked the interior wall , and succeeded in dismounting the Roman guns . The courage displayed on both sides is shown by the fact that the attack and defence lasted five hours , during which the fire , both on the part of the Romans and French , was kept up incessantly . It was onl y after this brave resistance that the Roman municipality , and after them the Assembly , consented to open nego ^ tiatwns for a capitulation .

      The Genoa Gazette , of the obh inst ., quotes letters from Borne of the 30 th nit . They state as follows :-A terrible bombardment beran at one in the morning , and lasted threo hours . Mortars had bera -planted upon Mount Parrioli . The whole defence almost was maintained by the lcion 3 £ anara , which was soon , however ^ overpowCTed , and obliged to retreat with the ioss of tbreTLnon which were spiked . jUannra was killed in thestru" - « le .

Rome to the last ; 3 rdly , to leave Rome and : &emselve 3 in the provinces . The troops weve-for jfifea" second course . The aoise of artillery frequently drowned the voices of the orators . The Moor of Garibaldi , ; who / had acquired great fame for valeur , wa 3 killed in the engagement of the

      30 th nit ' " , - ; Tho Concordia of Turin gives the following account of the death of M . Laviron , a Frenchman , fighting in the ranks of the Romans , who after having been president of one of the most violent of the Paris . ' clubs , and having taken part in the insurrection of June , escaped to Borne , where he entered the army . it says : —' . While : the deputation charged with carrying , to General Oudinot the protest of the foreign consuls were going out at the Porto St . Pancrazio , Captain - Laviron ,: a Frenchman , and aide-de-camp to Garibaldi , having looked over the parapet of sacks which covers the walls , was wounded by a French ball , and exp ired a few moments afterwards . Another letter states-that Captain Laviron was wounded at the moment when he was going out of Rome with Ghilardi and Plaisten , and carrying the protest to the French

      camp . - , , The Paris MoniUur publishes the despatches brought by the aide-de-camp of General Oudinot , who arrived in Paris on Tuesday , haying left Rome on the 4 th . - The surrender of the city was unconditional . Two columns of French troops entered on the 3 rd , —one , with General Oudinot and his staff at the head , by the Porta-j Portese ; the other , with General Gueswellcr , by the Povta del Popolo and the Corso . A hostile feeling was shown in tho Corso , where a group was assembled with a flag

      surmounted by a cap of liberty . The flag was cut down by the troops . Garibaldi , with from 3 , 000 to 4 , 000 men , left at one 8 ido while the French entered at the other . He was believed . to have taken the road to Albano . Rome was tranquil . La Palric says that Garibaldi , who had quitted Rome with 4 , 000 or 5 , 000 men , had taken the road to Terracina , and traversed the kingdom of Naples to take refuge in the Abruzzi , where he proposed to carry on a guerilla warfare .

      Private letters from Rome of the 4 th mention that the clubs were to be shufc up ; the violent journals suppressed ; tho Constituent Assembly dissolved ; the Roman troops discharged ; strangers who had taken an active part in the late troubles expelled ; a municipality elected ; and military tribunals to judge crimes against persons and property established . General Oudinot had published a proclamation , in which the Pope -was alluded to only indirectly . Tho Phrygian cap-had been removed from all public places . Rome was declared to be in a state of siege . General Oudinot has given orders to the authorities of the States of tbe Church to arrest all tho French who carried arms against the French troops , and to shoot them at the drumhead .

      It is said _ that tho Triumvirs , Saffi , Ramellini , and Hazzini have escaped to Malta on board an English ship . The Daily News states that the Triumvirs had not quitted Rome .

      THE SIEGE OP VENICE . The ' Risorgimento' of Turin of the 4 th contafns a letter from Venice of the 27 th ult ., stating that ever since the abandonment of Malgbera , the city carries on its principal defence from two small forts , at about 1 , 000 yards from the first houses of Venice , one situated on tbe small island of San Secondo , and the oiher on "the railroad bridge . The Austrian shells do not reach further than about 400 yards within Venice . Provisions are very scarce ; nothing but black bread , half baked , is to be got ; meat and wine are become luxuries . Still a calm determination to resist reigns among the Venetians . -

      G- ? neralThuru has sent to Vienna areport concsr : ; iijjr the operations before Veaice , from which ii appears that the statement that the bombardment was suspended in conseque ?! ce of renewed negotiations , is incorrect . Since the 25 th ult , nine twentyfour pounders and six grenade cannons have been plied with unin erupted activity against the Venetian battery of seven cannons on ihe railway bridge . Early on the 27 th four of these pieces weresilenced . it was observed that the embrasures and parapets , wuieh the Venetians bad hitherto worked up with great ardour during the night , were this time . but very imperfectly executed . The continued fire of the besiegers day and night gives ground , therefore ,

      for the expectation that they will soon reduce to complete silence this battery , which bars them at present from all nearer approach to Venice . The Venetians appear to have given up the design of constructing a battery behind the present one , on ths nest pier of the railway-bridge ; meanwhile tbey seem to be busy laying a mine there instead . The throwing of shells into the city was carried forward with rffect ; many of these projectiles have reached the district of the . . Canal Rdggio , killed people there , ar . d injured buildings . It has been clearly ascertained that the terminus of the railway has been evacuated . As soon as the battery on the railway bridge has been completely dismounted , a

      battery of mortars will be established nearer tbe city , to carry od the bombardment with more energy . The ingenious invention ol the Artillery-Lieutenant Ucliatzius , of propelling { shells by air balloons , could not be tried for the first three days after this officer ' s arrival , by reason of the contrary wiud . A preliminary trial was , however , instituted , notwithstanding the unfavourable state of ' the atmosphere . ( This trial is known to have turned out a comply failure , all the shells falling into the sea . ) Ths projected destruction of the salt-works at Burauo has been set about with the damming of the Sile river . This will add considerably to the want of the necessaries of life already so strongly felt by the Venetians .

      A letter of the 4 th , from Trieste , states that such a tremendous cannonade as that of the preceding night against Venice had never been heard . The roar of cannon lasted from eleven o ' clock at night till five in the morning . It is supposed that an attempt had been made to storm the Viaduct .

      FRANCE . PaiuS ) Sunday . —M . Drouin de l'Huys is tfRzeittd this morning as ambassador extraordinary of the Republic on a temporary mission to the Qaeen of Great Britain , and Ireland .

      The split in the Caninet on the affairs of Rome is becoming every day more apparent . M . de Falloux and General de Rulhieres are the leaders of the reactionary party ; M . Dufaure and M .

' ¦¦ „ ' 1 The ' Monitenr p ublishes a despatch from General Oudinot dated Head-quarters , 30 th ult ., in which a detailed account is g ivenl - . oT the operations of the army on tbe 28 th and 29 th . More than 400 Komans were killed with the bayonets , and 125 pri soners , of whom ' nineteen were ; officers , were taken by the ' French .

      Accounts from the provinces mention that several arrests , connected with the late insurrectioniry movement in Paris and Lyons , have taken pluce at MontpelHer . Toulouse , and Nantau , in the departtnentof the Ain . . ; v Paris , Tuesday . —So far as the fact can yet lie ascertained , it appears that in several sections the voters have refrained from exercising their privilege of decidiug who shall represent them in the National Assembly . In many cases less than one half of the citizens whose names appear on the electoral list went to the poll . This apathy , as some of the journals call it , has been bitterly denounced by a portion of the press , but others ascribe the neglect to a disinclination to take . part in an election conducted whilst the city is in a state of siege , and the personal freedom of each citizen dependant on the will of a military commander .

      The French force in Rome have been deprived of one of the compliments usually paid to victorious armies , in consequent of the present position of political parties in the Assembly . After tbe Minister of "War , on Monday , had read in the Legislative Chamber the despatch given yerterday , a vote of thanks was proposed to the expeditionary army for their conduct , but the Left refused to accede to it . through fear of thereby including jthe government in the testimony of approba tion ; 611 a division they refrained altogether from voting , and the consequence was that the vote was found not , to b ? a valid one ; a sufficient number of voters , not being present .

      The French government are proceeding to undo gradually what the Constituent had forced them to do . They have legalised General Changarnier ' s double command , and now they , are about to give a salary of 30 , 000 francs for his services in the eom . mand of the national guard of the Seine . Now , as no officer of the national guard receives any indemnity , this sum is placed under the , convenient head of ' expenses of service ; ' this , too . when it is known that General Pevrot has an indemnity " of tbe same kind as superior in command of the ; national _ guard of the Seine , under the immediate authority of Gen . Changarnier . ' The project of indemnity was adopted by 333 ngainst 123 . ' : .

      Progress of the Terror . — Four more repre . sentatives of the legislative Assembly are to be prosecuted by government , if the Assembly will grant the authorisations , which is not doubtful . A letter from Maeon states , that MM . Roland ( a member of the legislative Assembly for the Sapne and Loire ) , Gonan and Pizzu have been ordered for trial before the Court of Assize of the Cote d'Or , for having delivered seditious speeches at apolitical club at Macon . A warrant has been issued for the SMfist of sixteen town-councillors of Villeneuve-sur-Lol ' , who , on the 14 th of June , signed a protest iu favour of the Constitution , and a declaration to refuse to pay the taxes until the government should have resumed a constitutional course . .

      The town of Montelemart , department of the Drome , has been declared in a state of siege by General Lapene , commanding ihe department . The ' National' draws attention to-day to an in terview which took place a few days ago heiween the Duke of Bordeaux and the Prince of Joinvillp , at Vienna , and declares that an entente cordialehas sprung up between the two branches of the House of Bourbon , for their mutual interests . The Duke of Bordeaux is coming to Holland , where , it is said , he will receive tbe homage of his partisans , as he did some vears aao at Belgrave-square .

      THE INSURRECTION IN BADEN . Letters from Carlsruhe , of the 4 th , state , that Rasiadt continued to be completely surrounded bj the Prussians , and the general in command had summoned the garrison and inhabitants to surrender within twenty-four hours , threatening to bombard the town if they did not . Tire garrison had refused The head-quarters of the Prince of Prussia were at Offenburg , and the military operations in the Oberland were continuing . A corps d ' armee had set out for the Circle of tbe Lake .

      A letter from Baden , of the 2 nd Inst ., says t' For the last three days our little town and its en virons have been inundated with the troops of the empire , who entered Baden in the afternoon of the 30 th , in two columns , one by the mountains and the oiher by the valley of Lichienlhal . These troops , forming a corps of 18 , 000 men of all arms , an / I composed of contingents from Mecklenburg , Nassau , Hesse Darmstadt , Bavaria , Vurtemburg , Sygraaringen , and Frankfort , had bar ) on the previous day a very desperate engagement , with a body of 6 , 000 Baden-insurgents near Gernsbach . The combat commenced about noon , and did not terminate until tho evening . Twenty or thirty houses in the

      faubourg of Gerivshaeh , situated on the right bank 01 the Mury , and in which the free corps were entrenched , were destroyed and burnt . The bridge , which at this place crossed tiie . Murg , was , it is said , covered with dead . The fury of the combatants was sogreat on both sid es that they fought hand to hand in the middle of the river . , Not being able to dislodge tbe insurgents from thchousea . they occupied , and from which they kept up a destructive fire on the imperial troops , recourse was had to artillery and sheUs , by which the conflagration was caused . " Clouds of smoke were visible from this place . / About-nine o ' clock in the evening 2 . 00 Q 'insurgents , mostly belonging to the Bavarian Palatinate , and coming from Gernshach , passed through Baden w ' areat haste towards-Oos Rastadt . TJiase

      baiids , who had tak <; n up apposition in the woods which skirt the entranced the valley , attempted , a fresh engagement on the 30 th ult ., with a battalion of Nassau troops ; who were ^ seiit to ' -d ' islodge them . The insurgents managed to get possession of aipiece of cannpn ,. hut was . taken back the next day . From the top of the Castle of Baden the engagement was dis * tinctly ' visible .

At Bruchsal , too , as soon as the Prussians bad withdrawn and marched to Wiesloch , the inhabitants arose , so likewise in Durlaeh , which is quiie close to Carlsruhe , for . the purpose of liberating . ihe prisoners in Bruchsal , so that execution troops , as they are called , had to be sent to both places ; the troops were from Nassau and Liclitenstein . It is evident that the revolution is still smouldering throughout the country . It was stated that Professor Kinkel , of Bann , who was a leader of the insurgents , and who was taken fig hting against the Prussian troops , had been condemned to death by court-martial , and that tbe sentence would certainly bei executed .

The two regiments of cavalry still with them , as well as the horse artillery" arid a part of the infantry , remained at Friburg , and have submitted to the Prince of Prussia .

      THE WAR IN HUNGARY . Count Iiadislas " TeJeki , the Hungarian envoy at Paris , has published the following protest , which he has received from his government :- — .... ' The Hungarian nation , struck to the heart , has triumphed , with the aid of the Almighty , over a revolt which a perjured dynasty has excited against the laws and the constitution , by intrigues and by force . The country has driven back as far as the frontier tbe Austrian armies , who , in order to oppress the liberty and independence of the nation , had invaded its territory . In-virtus of its imprescriptible right as a nation , in virtue of the duty of legitimate defence , the Hungarian nation unanimously pronounced

      the fall of the house of Hapsburg-Lorraine , as perjured and criminal . Never did a nation fight in a more just cause—never was a dynasty more justly punished—never had a nation more-right to hope that its government , the unanimous expression of the will of the people ,-rosy be able to efface , by supporting itself 011 order and peace , the traces of a long despotism . And nevertheless we see rushing on our frontiers in Galicia and at Cracow the armifs of the Czar , ready to invade Hungary at the first call of the house of Hapsburg , without any declaration of war . All iliese preparations prove that the house of Hapsburg does not hesitate to call in the aid of tbe Russians , to re-establish its despotic

      power on the ruins of Hungary . The Hungarian nation is resolved to rep : ; l this fresh aggression . It is decided to shed the veiy last drop of its blood , rather than recognise for its master a king who is the murderer , of his people . - In coming to this firm resolution it reli g iously believes in the justice of its cause , because it is a holy one ; but it does not the less protest , in the face of God and ol all civilised nations , against the iniquitous intervention of Eussia , which in the interest of a perjured despot tramples nnder foot . the right of nations and the imprescriptible rights of man . It protests in the , consciousness of the duty of its selfrdefence to which it has been , reduced , it protests in the name of that

      eternal right of nations , which has ever been the sacred foundation of tbe mutual relations between Sratts . It protests in the name of treaties , of declaration , and of guarantees' which place under . the asgis of the sentiments of justice common to all peol >! e the existence .,. of him who is threatened with death . It protests in the name of the balance of poweriii Europe , in the name of liberty and civilisation . ; It protests in the name of hnmanityand of the innocent blood which cries for vengeance to the God of Justice . The Hungarian nation counts on the sympathy of every nation which loves vightand

      liberty rcspondine to this cry . But were it abandoned by all , strong in its conscience , it does not the less declare before God and before men , that it will never yield to the violence of tyrants , and that it will struggle to its last breath in the defence of its rights against the attacks of despotism . Let God . fet the civilised world , judge between us and our oppressors . ( Signed ) ' Count Casimir Batthtan y , ' Minister of Foreign Affairs . ' Kossutu , Governor . . ' Debreczin , May 18 .

      The . various news now arriving from all parts of th ' c theatre of war clearly show that it enters into the plan of-the Hungarians to retire once more into the interior of the land , so as to concentrate there all their strength j for it is impossible for us to believe that the absence of all serious resistance to ths Iropeiialis ' s , now penetrating nortb ; south , and Cast , can be from any other motive . ; : News from the west tell us , that the united imperial army left Kaab on the 29 th , and advanced in two divisions on the two roads to Comorn on the

      one bund and to Sufulweisseuburg on the other . Previous to the departure . of the troops they demolished to the very foundations tbe house from wliicb Field-Marshal Lieutenant Woklgeinuth was shot at , and only ihe personal intervention of the Emperor prevented further scenes of destruction , the Jewish district , on the alleged ground of being hostilely disposed , and of nourishing sympathies in favour of K' ; ssuth and of freedom , was punished with a < var fine of 80 , 000 florins , and which every Jew upon pain of execution was ordered to pay within twentyfour hours . A few shootings by ' / drum-head courtmartial and a great many arrests took place also Nevertheless , the greater part . of the male population and . especially most of the boys , as likewise numerous Amazou 3 , had accompanied the Hungarians on their retre . it , so that there actually remained but very few to arrest . :

The Hungarian troops , who were posted in this part of Transylvania , concentrated themselves , to the amount of 18 . 000 or 20 . 000 men , at Dees , vyhere they took up a very strong position . From the eastern frontier the intelligence is worse . General Luders on the 20 th alt . actually did attack the Tomos Pass , as . has beeu of late reported , and forced " it after a most desperate resistance . The Hungarians lost eleven cannons , and Colonel Kiss , well known for his martial gallantry , fell wounded _____ : m ., n , ; , i Rnacinn crmv mm * niiilfr Grntftnhnlm

      into the hands ^ of tCossacks , ' whereupon he was conveyed under their escort to Czemowitz . On the same day General Luders entered Cronstadt , and the citadel of this town surrendered at the first summons on the 21 st ult . without attempting even a defence . In the : south ; the"Ban Jellachich has launched forth into the world along bulletin , the long and the short of which is , however ,. that he stands where he stood before , namely at Sove on the Francis Canal All the reports therefore about the splendid victories at -Verbash , at St . Tuamas , Szenta , were untrue , for otherwise the Banns would surely have mentioned them . The action , which the bulletin records , took place on the 24 th at Obeckse on the Theiss .

      Here Perczel , in order to operate with Bern , crossed the river , and his rear was attacked by a numerically far superior division of Jellachich ' s corps that had advanced from St . Thamas and Uoldnr . In spite of the twofold numerical superiority of the Ban's troops , he could not manage to gain any advantages ' , and he actually retreated himself in the evening towards the south across the above-named Francis Canal , where his head-qtiarters now are . Looking at his position , there , can be no question of occupying Temeswar , or of threatening Szegedin . . '¦ The fighting at Peterwardein continues uninterruptedly between the Hungarian garrison and the besieging corps .

      . Bmritz was storraecl hy Che Russian corps from the Bukowina 011 the 25 lhi The ' Strangers' Gazetse' declares that Prince Metteniich was expected at his castle of Koenigswarth , in Bohemia . ; Peterwardein still holds out against the united troops of the Ban and those of tbe Servian cliiff Mamula , but the bombardment of the fortress has been suspended by the Ban ' s orders .

      . , BErULSE OF THE AUSTUO-RUSSIAN ATIMY . The main corps of the army , headed by the emperof , turned off from . Babolna towards Acs , in order to efFfict at the latter place a passage across the Danube into the island of Schutt , with the view of proceeding towards Comorn by both banks , and undertaking the siege of that fortress But the bridge and the . tete-de-pont at Acs . were- very strongly entrenched by the Hungarians ; and Gorgey was there with twenty battalions of infantry , twenty squadrons of cavalry , and fifty pieces of caution . The Imperialists , emboldened by their easy conquo-t of Itaab , were for taking these entrenchments by

      storm , The hat tie was obstinate , and lasted eight hours . The Austro-Russian army was compe / . ' ed to ; fall back , after having suffered great Joss . They took , however , from the Hungarians a whole battery , consisting of six six-pounders and two twelvepounders , which ventured too far from the trenches in pursuit , and fell into the hands of a regiment of light horsd Gorgey commanded the Magyars ia psrson . The emperor is said to have followed long with his spy-g ! as 3 the movements of this general , whose name has been so often brought to his ears in concexion with Austrian disasters . This battle oe curred on the 2 nd ; on the 3 rd a fresh attack would be made on the tele-de-vont at Acs . '

      . There was a battle also on the road occupied by Schlick on the same day . He was met by Klapka , at the head" of 10 , 000 men , and stopped from advancing further . In the island of Schutt the Hungarians were still at Nyard . Here there has been a battle , too , or rather an outpost skirmish . The Austrians , 20 , 000 strong , wanted to assume the offensive in order to join Ihe main imperial army when it crosses the

      D nuba . On the Upper Waag , the Magyars were still in possession of all points , ami the Prussian troops which advanced from the north under General Sass were obliged to fall back , so that this leader was on the 1 st instant driven up to his old post of Jordarsow , in Galicia . But whether this retreat was the result of a victory on the part of the Magyars is not known . But it is certain that on the 29 th cannonading was heard at Tyrnau , and it was conjectured that this came from a battle at-Trentsohin .

      In the south Jellachich is making preparations to cress over to the right bank of the Danube at Baja . and thence on the road of Baja and Fold ' . ar to advance along the Danube towards Stnhl . WeissenlJiirg . He has , however , only 6 , 000 troops disposable for this purpose , part of his corps having marched against Theres-ianopel . Jcllachicb will have to meet with many difficulties in the course of his march , and will not easily esuape the Hungarian corps under Gen . Atilich , stationed near the Piatten-See . Concerning the operation of the Russian army in tbe north , another bulletin has come out , which impartsthe following facts : —On the road from Kaschau to St . Mikolcz the main army was divided into two corps at Neroethi , whereof one , under the personal

      conduct of Paskiewieh , entered St . Mikolcz on the 29 th ; the other , ; under Cetichj . ^ ff , marched in the direction of the Theiss towards Tokay . At Tokay a hattle was fought with 4 , 00 'J Magyars stationed there . The Russian force consisted of twehh five ha ! talions . of-infantry , and fifty . ' squadrons of cavalry , making about 40 , 000 men . After an engagement of several hours , the Hungarians were driven from the bridge , which , however , they ' cut away after iheir passage . Meantime some detachments of Cossacks plunged with their horses into the river , and , swimming across , too \ possession of the pontoons ,-by which means the bridge * \ 9 &h speedily re-established , and Ceodajfff crossed the Theiss , and next dav continued his march against Debveczin .

      CnAcow , July 2 . —The : corps of Sieucr is advancing aeainat the Magyars , and to-day two squadrons of Uhlans entered Cracow . The Austrians , as if they were not quite sure of the event of the war , are taking Ihfe precaution to fovt . ify the hills at Podgotz , on the right bank of the Weuhsol ' , which surround thn ancient tombs called '' Mogila Kralnisa ; for which purpose a half company of sappers and miners are arrived from Vienna , News has jast arrived that 500 forage waggons of the Russian army are flung with all speed from Neumarkfc to Mylblo . wice , in the-Wadowice district :, anil that the Slow *]; driversjrcprjrted . at Myslowice 'that the Russians had been bsaten by the Magyars , who had pursued them into Galicia to Neuraarkt , " and wer « marching still further .

      The following anecdote is going its rounds in Vienna concerning Bern-. For many years he lias had forebodings of his death .

      UNITED STATES . CALIFORNIA AND THE CEI 0 LE 3 A . Philadelphia , June 27 . —We have bean enlivened by the publication and perusal of an immense number of letters , from San Francisco , in most of which the gold regions are described as teeming with untold wealth , This intelligence , ami ( lie large amount of gold dust brought by the Crescent City , have renewed ' the Californian fever in all its original furor , and it is not . likely for some time to diminish . Digging graves is described as being light work in

      comparison with the labour of digging for gold in . California ! So it appears that the way to -wealth Is strewn with thorns . The diggers are sometimes to their knees in water—sometimes parched and maddened with a broiling sun—anou . sh aki . ig yyitb ague or scorched with fevsr—fighting vvilh Indians , or wtak and exhausted for want . of food . Such are the accompaniments of success at the mines . On returning to San Francisco , gambling , drinking , and exposing produce sad havoc among the reckless many—while the prudent few , who patiently submitted to toil and privation , realise tolerable

      fortunes . But a period—a crisis—is threatened in California . Foreigners , and particularly Mexicans and South Americans , are pouring into . Cslifurnian , and already tbey far outnumber the Americans . The latter contend that foreigners have 110 right whatever to the mines , and that tbey muafc be expelled at all hazards . This threat appears also , from the tone of our advices , to be mingled wi ; h an apprehen .

      sion of the Spanish-American races altackins the Americans , and endeavouring to secure tiie entire El Dorado for themselves . " Native American Associations" have banded together , all well arn : e : i and ia process of military training , and atr . o distant period a collision is expected . Several leading : journals appeal to the United States Government to send out a sufficient force to preserve order , and to save California from becoming a scene of carnage , massacre and murder .

      We lave other painful intelligence relating to California . Not only have the emigrants across the continent been thinned off by cholera—not onlyhave raany returned , overcome with fatigue , and appalled with the excessive beat , ths weariness and the dangers of . the prairies—but the Indians have assembled in great numbers , for the purpose of attacking the emigrants who journey through the Rio 3 rande , the Mexican , and portions of the Texan territory . From Chihuahua we Jearn that a party had been attacked by Indians , and more than half

      killed . Mr . Thatcher had lost teveral <> . ' his party , and killed twenty-five Mexicans in n pulsing an attack . One party ot thirty-live '¦ Califorr . ian emigrants , and another of twenty-eight , have- , been actually destroyed by about 500 Indians ; and a magnetic despatch of yesterday , from New Orkr . ns states that iii all , 'five hundred emigrants to California have been killed by the Indians in Mexico . * At the mines , five Americans and thirty-five Indians fell in a conflict on tbe . 18 th of April . Tlius is the gold of California baptised in blood !

      The cholera has committed dreadful ravages iu Texas and Mexico . At San Antonio , Texas , 750 people died out of a population of 1 , 500 . ^ At New IJiannfels , Texa 3 , nearly all the inli&bkiactS have repaired to the mountains as a refuge iVo / a the pestilence . The cholera is marching rapidly , with , fearful and desolating strides . St .

      NEW SOUTII -WALES . Wo have received Sydney and Maitlnnd papers to the 21 th of March . They contain full details of a judicial investigation into the circumstances attendant on the deaths of Mr . Kennedy and his comrades . Tho'expedition left Sydney in May , 1848 . Mr . Kennedy's instructions wore-to land at llockingham Bay , and proceed thence to Port Albany at Capo York , where a schooner was to be in waiting for him with supplies from Sydney , lie wsis then to return by tho western side of the ponitisula . The party consisted of thirteen persons—twelve Europeans and an aboriginal native . They landed afc lloekinglinm JJay on the 2 lst of May , and

      commenced their journey on the 5 t ft of June . T ' ac country was so ' difficult that on Nov . 10 their camp w ; is pitched only 2-3 seconds north of the 12 th degree of S . latitude , near Wcymouth Bay . Their stores , too , had been improvidently expended by the person who had been entrusted with the care of them on starting . Mr . Kennedy determined to leave eight of his party here , and go on with four Europeans and the native to Porb Albany , and rctr . rn with supplies . One of the Europeans shot himself , and tho other three became so exhausted tluit at Sholhui'nc Bay Mr . Kennedy was obliged to leave them behind also , nrid push on with Jackey ( the native ) and three horses . By the time they reached Escape

      itiver Mr . Kennedy was so exhausted as scarcely to be able to proceed . TJicy were hero within twelve miles of Port Albany . A numerous party of idacks wlio had beset nud-followed them for " some days , hero made an attack upon ami killed Mi 1 . Kennedy , and severel y wounded his attendant . Jackev contrived to escape their ' pursuit , and readied' Port Albany on the -3 d of December , where he was taken on board the schooner . Tho captain ran down the const to Sliclburne Bay ; no twees were found of the three men left there , but articles

      belonging to them having been found in tho possession of the blacks , no doubt remains that they have perished . The schooner next proceeded to AVeymouth Bay , . where only two of . the ei ght left behind were found alive—Mr . Carron the botanist , and William G qditard . ¦ These two wore in such a state of . exhaustion that it was long doubtful whether they coiikl survive . After receiving them on boai'd the schooner proceeded direct to Sydnpy , where these facts were elicited by the judicial " investigation , above alluded to . .
