      THE WAR IN SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN . — GREAT BATTLE . —FRIGHTFUL LOSS OF LIFE . The expected battle between tbe Danes and Schleswig-Holsteins took place on the 24 th of July , and resulted in the retreat of the latter , after a desperate and bloody engagement , in which some thousands fell on both sides . The following account is supplied by the Hamburgh correspondent of the Times : '—

      ' ,.- « On the 24 th Bit . the Danes commenced with in attack upon the Holstein outposts at Helligbeckcnd Ifasbusch , which they succeeded in forcing with a superior number of men . The Holstein troops ' however , having received , reinforcements , returned vUb . reanimtted spirits , and drove the Bases back npon'the podtion which tfeey bad occupied before at Stendrnp , tnd thus the skirmish ended , with considerable toss on both sides . The Oar . es had a cqnple of ibrissdes under fee , but in conseqoenee of the groo ^ i being rather unfavourable for artillery , they joaWriot tring any ef their field-pieces iato V « r . "bite tbe Holstein twops bad one 12-ponnder lifttery , from which they « mH throw shells with ere > t effect . . ¦ '

      .. - " * On the-left the Danes advanced from , the astern : tide upon the position of Jubeck , and whh three battalions of infantry succeeded in farcing the pas-• are of the Treene , near Sallibro , which was defended by . one battalion of Holstein pagers witfc ' great determination , whea late in tbe afternoon ¦ General yrillisen in person made his appearance et the head of some fresh troops , and forced tbe Danes to relinquish the position , which he retook himself at the head of his men in the most gallant manner ^ Night fell npdn the combatants , with the less -of about 150 <* men on the part of the Holsteiners in killed and wounded , including two oficers , Captains Budow and Alain .

      'The Danes recommenced the action against the left wing of the Holstein ahny , o ' nder the command of tbe celebrated Colonel Von der Tann , on the morning of tbe 25 th ult ,, by throwing several squadrons of light horse , supported by three batt a l io n s of in f antr y , across the river Treene , between the villages of Sallibro snd Manning , in order to force the position of Jubeck , which ; however , was met by a compact body of Holsfein infantry and a few companies of Jagers , and'driven back with considerable loss . This force ' being again reinforced by Borne fresh troop * led Colonel Von der Tana to infer that the object of the Danish General was to tnm his left flank , and ' therefore brought up several

      battalions of tbe reserve in support of his position . In this , however , he was completely misled , and after driving the Danish troop 3 for some distance , who retired in the finest order before him back again upon Banning , he foand , _ when too late to recover his error , that General Yon Kragh had concentrated bis masses upon Engbrack at about eight o ' clock in the morning , and making a feint , attack upon the right wing of the Holstein army under General Von florst , succeeded in a simultaneous advance upon the whole of the hostile fines , in forcing the centre under Gen . Willisen , a IstecU , in the most masterly manner , and causing " the utmcst consternation on tbe right and on the left of tbe position in consequence . My

      informant , who was on the right , along with Gent Yonder Horst , says that the Scbleswig-Holstein troops fought with a determination worthy of a better causey and only when their left wing had been 8 omewbat disengaged from tbe perilous situation in which tbe indiscreet brarery of Colonel Yon der Tann bad placed it . and in the bfst possible order retired npari Falkenberg and the town of Schle&wig from the centre , and upon tbe ilissunde from the right wing , closely followed by the Danish troops , which entered Schleswig between the hoars of nine

      and ten o ' clock yesterday evening . ' The Holstein left , under Yon der Tann covered tbe retreat as far as the reports go , bnt yet nothing certain has arrived in respect to tbe safety of his corps , which , was said to have amounted to about 8 , 000 mm in a tolerable effective state . The main body has retreated and taken up a position at Schestedt on the Eider , about fifteen miles from Schleswi g and seven from Eckenforde , having firs t withdrawn the guns } and the garrison of Eckenforde in good time , as is supposed , by some troops from the right wing .

      It would be useless to undertake to say upon a bare supposition what tbe loss has been on botb sides , and which can only be known accurately at the head-quarters of the respective armies ; but from what I have witnessed in the arrival of the slightly -wounded ia Altona this day , and from what tbe poor fellows bave ; mentioned tbe loss has heen of that serious , description that the Holstein army will not be . able to recover easily again , so as to be able , to . maintain the field against the Danish General in Schleswig . The general depression is such as . can Hore readily be imagined than described ; and , very singular to say , the depression observable is evea greater in Hamburgh than Altona this day . The Altona people admit that , the loss has been a grievous one , and in the midst of a

      population being compelled to witness the arrivals of trains from tie seat of war filled with wounded men almost hourly , one would almost expect a very considerable gloom upon the general countenance of the inhabitants , and yet sucb is not tbe case ; on the contrary , the people receive the poor fellows coming bask , looking sorrowfully at them , as much as to say we have done our best , in a manner which makes one feel doubly sensible the calamity of war , yet at tbe same time to admire tbe courage of the p e op le shown so openly under such fearlnl reverses , and tbe kind attention experienced by tbe wounded defenders of . their cause on their arrival . Between 500 and 600 men slightly wounded have . arrived 'within two days in Altona alone , and the number of severely wounded in the interior must be fearful .

      ( From tbe supplement to tbe Hamburgh < Borsen--Aalle , ' 2 p . m ., Jnly 26 . ) . Schleswig , Jtji , T 25 . — The anticipated contest commenced this morning at three o ' clock , with an attack by the Danes on both wings of the Schleswig-Hblstein army . The Danes did not at first- ' succeed / in obtaining any advantage , but in a short'time they began to gain ground on the left wing , where they attempted to establish themselves , bat were so far ^ riven bac k by a gaU&nt ' cuarge of the rifles and infantry that no further attack wag made from this quarter " . -On the right wingtbey were . so warmly received by the Scbleswig-Holstelnersihat theyjeould not succeed in gamin ? a

      single meh of ground . ' After this attack " on both * ings had continued for twe or three hours , the Danes made £ n qnslaught on the centre along the Chaussee , iri the direction of Flensnurg , with infantry , cavalry , and artillery at the same time . The Schleswig-H p ktein light infantry retired behind the main position near I 3 fedt , where the advancing Danes were received with a shower of balls from the fortifications thrown up there , which compelled them to retire a little . The Holsteiners again insbed to th | centre , and with such vivacity that

      the Danes wjtesoon obliged to retreat en masse into the poprar . wood . This manoeuvre was twice repeated , auftwjce was our main position on tie xigfi&wing aH : ceritre attacked by the Danes . On theVleft win £% mere skirmishing fire was only carr ieiton . " [ Th j £ battle / ' had , ' by this time , contihusd for nearly eiibtbdura , and between ten and eleven o ' clock it' seemebTcertaia that the result could not be otherwise than favourable" to us . But just at tuis time it Became apparent tbat tbe Danes bad concentrated ' their whole fores' for a mam attack

      on quc centre and ngbJE wing . ' From tbe eminence where I stood I could distinctly see the whole Danish infantry debouch from the poplar wood and form line dtrectly opposite the Scbleswig-Holstein force , bringing up at the same time several new batteries of field artillery : " I could also distinctly see the fatigued " and worn-out troops relieved byfresb battalions . General 'ffillisen . also caused his reserve-batteries to i « brought forward as well as the cavalry , which Sad as yet been but " partially engaged ; andabont ;* leven o ' clock a mostfearfui cannonade commenced on both aides , which was kept n ? on the part Mai the Scbleswig-Holsteiners withvgreat obstinacy foe two hours and a half although , the' enemy ' s guns were larger and more

      Bumetoos . ttdrndnal Balances of courage were ibovra tharwonld appear almost incredible . A imall battery of twelve-poundenicharged right into the thickest of the enemy ' s fire , posted iteelf at half distance , and greetedtbe Danes with repeated discbargea from ; the battery ^ It was , however , soon obliged to retire , in order to avoid a charge of cavalry . The ' most determined courage of the Whole army » as , hoWever , of no a ? ail against the superior force tiie Danes at this time brought into action . They were also deficient in ammunition . About two o ' cIccS the Danes made another attack , but being myself at this time obliged to withdraw ) I wag no longer an eye-witness of what occurred .

      spreading the moumfal news that the Danes , had broken through our centre . Under such circumstances there was no other alternative . than are t reat , which immediately ensued . General Wilhsen gave the necessary crdere , and the brave little army j saw itself compelled to retire from , the field of battle , the General Mmse | f ; beidg among tbe last to leave . The « rrest * was made . without confusioa , and in mod oTfler , covered by several bwtalions under tbe commtad of Colonel Von der Tano . Central "WilRsen left the Ctstie of ? Gottoip on borsefeck aboet five o ' clock , bat I as -unable to in : form you where the bead-quarters-were established . Several batt £ ions received « rd « rs to bivouac in the fields on f he sides of the Chaussee war Fabrdorf , in tbe direction of Eckenforde , and others were ordered ea to'Ben&burgh . ' .

      The-haKle of Istedt will -certainly maintain its place among the most sanguinary contests on record . Tie loss on bath sides has been immense . According to the reports of the prisoners , about 400 in number , the Danish force engaged cannot have been less tban from . 45 , 098 to 5 Q . S 00 men . It does not appear , that a single officer of the Schleswig-Hoktein staff has been wounded . General Baudisson has a rather severe wound in tbe right shoulder and-a large proportion of other officers are said to have fallen . One battalion has only two officers alive and not more tban 400 men , and the other battalions have also suffered severely . Of tbe artillery only one gun has been lost .

      P . S . —The Danes marched into Schleswig hetween , nine and ten in the evening , and Eckenforde either has been or will be vacated , as the guns have been withdrawn and the fortifications demoluned . Another account in tbe same supplement estimates the force of the Danes at 38 , 000 , aad that of the Scbleswig-Hoisteiners at 28 , 000 . General Willisen commanded the centre , Yon der Tann the left wing , and Yon der Horst the right .

      FURTHER PARTICULARS . We take the following addition particulars of the above murderous conflict from the 'Daily News : '' The attack was commenced early in the morning on both wings at once . When I arrived on the ground at a quarter to four , I found that the left wing had been somewhat damaged , while the right steadily maintained its ground , being in a much more advantageous position . . In the-centre , too , the firing bad commenced for the moment with musketry alone . After a little while heavy guns were brought up botb on tbe right wing and in the centre . The left wing of tbe Scbleswig-Holsteioen advanced about five o ' clock , and by sheer hard

      fighting in which the butt ends of the muskets came into use , not only drove tbe Danes back from the position they bad gained , but completely routed them , so that for the rest of the day nothing of importance occurred there . The centre and right wing of the brave little army of the duchies in the course of tbe next few honrs twice withstood Danish attacks , and twice repelled their enemy , following up their advantage to the very lines of the Danish position ; there , however ,- the heavy artillery which was brought into play compelled them to retire . On both sides much bravery was exhibited daring the Bix or seven hours which passed in these skirmishes ; for though sanguinary , they were nothing

      in comparison with the attack , the organisation of which was plainly apparent about ten o ' clock . From a small height whereon I stood , immediately to the right of tbe road to Flensburg , and just beyond Idstedtkrag , I could plainly perceive the whole Danish force . 1 saw the Danish infantry and cavalry advancing into a line half a mile to the southward of Poppholz , where the skinsish took place yesterday . The nnmber of Danish troops which hei « ahowed themselves clearly evidenced that they were much more numerous than had been expected , and that a grand attack was about to be made on Idstedr , the central point of General Willisen's position . After an hour and a half of anxious delay aad

      expectation , during which the struggle still continued on tbe right , and occasional firing was still heard on the left , the attack commenced with artillery , and a frightful cannonade ensued , which lasted nearly two h ours , without any serious impression being raadeon either side . The batteries of both armies continued to be fired with the same precision and regularity with which they- commenced ; the positions originally held by each party were duly maintained , and there still seemed no cause to doubt the ultimate result of tbe engagement . Two hours of . . this firing had nearly elapsed when the Danes' poured forth a cloudof cavalry ( in which branch the Schleswig-Holsteiners were very deficient , ) who gallopped at

      the batteries and infantry stationed at Idstedt , and succeeded in breaking through their line . With this act tbe engagement may be said to have terminated , for though the firing still continued on the right wing of the Schleswig-Holstein army , General Willisen had ordered a retreat Under the circumstances , indeed , nothing else seemed possible , for the wbole of his little army had been under fire since daybreak ( it was now half-past one ;) he had no reserve to bring up , but few cavalry to employ against the enemy , and no fresh troops to cover his retreat . The retreat then commenced in perfect order . Each

      regiment retired along the high road in its turn , and each battery drove off with perfect regularity , entirely unmolested by the Danes . Part of the troops were ordered to bivouac at Faurdorf , a small place about three miles to the south of Schleswig , and on the road to Eckernforde , the remainder , with the slightly wounded and the prisoners , were marched towards Rendsburg . At nine o ' clock in the evening tbe town of Schleswig was occupied by the Danes , where hardly a- single official remained to receive them . Every one of the inbabUauts is Germanheart and soul , and most of them preferred flight to a tedious imprisonment in dreary Copenhagen .

      . Thus has ended the battle of idstedt , in which so many hopes for Scbleswig-Holstein were placed . Hamburg , July 26 th . —Yesterday was the first occasion on which I have seen the encounter of hostile armies . The heavy rain and mist 9 which ; felj from three to eight o ' clock in the morning pre . vented a thorough view of the scene of action , but the general movements on both sides , and their intentions , were tolerable apparent . Having arrived somewhat late on the gronnd , I saw first of all that the swarm of tirailleurs on all sides of the Schleswi g-Holstein position , having previously advanced very close to that of their enemy , were gradually withdrawing before the superior numbers of a

      Danish Tiody of the same kind . The sharp , smart , irregular . firing of the rifles and the whistling of the bullets through the air was then taken up by the more regular peloton fire of tbe infantry , which proved unsuccessful in checking the further advance of the Danes , who progressed steadily forward , until they approached very close to the Idstedt position in the centre , and the chief bodies on the wings . Artillery was then brought into play , the d ' efening roar of which and the rushing , whizzing noise of whose iron messengers made quite a different impression both on the ears , of an inexperienced newspaper correspondent and the progress of the advancing Danes . Their movement was

      changed ; they retreated , f o llo w ed a t first by calvalry at the " charge . The calvary , however , had but slight effect , as they were not / in sufficient force . The riflemen and infantry again advanced , and hastened the steps of the DanishTtroops , , until they in their , turn reached their position ,, a nd . ' supported by their heavier artillery , compelled the- Schleswig Holsteiners to . retire .- Twice was this scene renewed , each time with greater-loss on either' side , while to the east and west burning houses and villages added increasing sternriess ' and' grandeur . On the second occasion , while the Danes were advancing , a Danish bomb struck an ammunition wagtton

      within three hundred yards of ; my position ; it . instantly exploded with a tremendous noise , killing two men and wounding several others . During each advance upon the Danes , the wounded men lying in all directions were carefully collected and carried behind the lines in waggons at the seat of the medical staff , where they were temporarily attended to , and thence transported to Schleswig . Friends and foes were all treated alike ; no distinction waa made . Prisoners , too , began to make their appearance , brought in twos and . threes ,, and sometimes larger numbers . One detachment brought in upwards of thirty at one time . There was indeed much to observe and comment upon , but similar scenes

      are unhappily too frequent in history to require repetition here . While watching them however the Danes commenced their third attack , previous to which it became apparent that they were drawing up in line a much larger force of infantry , cavalry , and artillery than had hitherto , been seen on their side . After a short pause on theirside , broken only by the riflemen between the two lines , their arJ tiltery moved into position , and the conflict oe-? a ?? < L a M .. once most wvere and sanguinary . General WUhsen brought up every available man to rewsfc the great danger ; but as the position which I hadoccupied until then , together with other spec-ISw ^ l to * ¥ im > * e ret « ed a short distanee further bebondj not a little startled by 1 the wMen ipnearuce . gf * D «»« h '<* uaaa . biii to

      hastened r JQr retreat , and entirely upset the cquait * ¦ U f of ' dome of us . Fort « rohours the cannonading continued . At tfce expiration of that period orders arrived for the tetrect of the train and baggage-waggons , and , seeing that several small bodies of soldiers were also fastening from the fields followed , by larger ho ' dUs in regular order , I hastened to get back to Schleswig . The cause of tbe retreat ia already

      told , together with the regular mode in which it wait effected . The soldiers whom I saw defile through Schleswig in 'tbe . afternoon and evening were riot at all disheartened ; they marched like men , with heads erect , and open but powder-begrimed countenances , though tired and worn . The inhabitants of tbe town stood at their doors , with wine and refreshments of all kinda , which were freely given and gladly accepted by the gallant fellows .

      P . S . —Eight p . m . — The evening train from Rendsburg and Kiel has just arrived , bringing with it the information of the occupation of Eckernforde by the Danes this morning , after the batteries had been dismounted , the cannon transported to Rendsburgh , and the field works destroyed ' . The sailors on board the Genoa are said to have quitted the ship , and that the 100 Prussian soldiers who form the garrison of this trophy of the past year ' s war had received orders to burn her if the Danes should attempt to seize her . The chief body of the Schleswig-Holstein ixwj is concentrated at Schestedt , as mentioned above . The head-quarters were last night at Fleckebve , but were removed this morning to Schestedt . Every report that arrives confirms the statement of the orderly nature of General Willisen ' s retreat . ¦ The following is from another correspondent ''

      The battle must have been very murderous . It is aaid the killed and wounded on both sides amount to about 10 , 000 , mostly Danes . How far this is true remains to be seen . About 200 wounded arrived at Altona last night . By this morning's train I Baw but a few ; amongst them a colonel , said to be Aldosser . General Count Bandisaen was mdr ? tally wounded , and several officers were killed . The head-quarters of the Schleswig-Holsteiners were at a village called Sehestedr . Officers and men , it is said , are in good spirits , ready to begin the fight again . Tbe prisoners brought into

      Rendsburgh are said to be about 500 , several officers amongst them . ¦ ' ; Hamburg , July 27 . —Little or no fresh information has arrived this morning from the frontiers of Schleswig , nor have any further details of tbe engagement come to hand than those which I was enabled to communicate from personal observation . The feeling of the inhabitants of Holstein , and particularly in Altona , is strongly in favour of a resort to the final step of calling out the whole male population : it is , indeed , expected that the Statthalterschaft will pursue this , course . This call will be readily responded to .. ,.,, ; ' >¦ ..

      The loss of the . SchleswigrHolsteiners is not yet known , hut it is reported that an army report will be published in a day or two with all the particulars . Upwards of 600 wounded men are lying in Altona . Their wounds are moat of them slight . Those whom it was impossible to transport were left behind in the chateau at Schleswig . About fifty or sixty officers are said to be among the killed and wounded . Five Danish officers are among the prisoners , and one Danelerog ( Danish standard ) was captured .

      The Danish outposts are . reported to have advanced to Kropp , a small village eight miles to the south of Schleswig , on the road to Rendsberg . It is also reported that the Danish general had offered a truce of four days to General Willisep , which the latter declined . It it very remarkable that the Danish general did not pursue the ScHleswig-Helstein army , seeing that the gronnd through which they had to pass was the most unfavourable part of the main road , being , commanded "by the heights of Idstadt , which ' we ' re in the hands of the Danes . Their loss must have been severe indeed . Time will show their extent . Another engagement is expected in a day or two , should the Danes advance towards the position taken up by General-Wiliisen . at Schestfidt .

      Besides the above the Hamburg papers of the 27 th have the following : — ' .-. ' -. ; * ¦ :: ¦ ' ¦ The Schleswig-Holstein troops were then still at Schestedt , where , after heroic efforts ! Von der Tann aud his corps had succeeded in reaching his main body . With his corps and the troops remaining ander Willisen the Duchies still have an army of 22 , 000 to 24 , 000 men . ¦' .. . ' . . , . 1 The Danes spent the day of the 26 th in . gathering up the dead on the field of battle . Their wounded are , it seems , in considerable number . ' ' '¦ ' It seems that four guns fell into the hands of the Danes , and four of the Danish field-pieces were driven into a morass , and spiked by the Schleswig-Holsteiners . One regiment of Danish Hussars is said to have suffered a great loss from the grape-shot of the Schleswig artillery . ' . ¦ ¦ '• ¦¦

      • The following infantry officers are ' among the killed : —Major . Brunckhofv . Lieutenants—Haller . stein , Waltersdork , Heselerj and Sander . r - . ¦ 1 And the following are among the wounded ;—Majsr-General Baudissin ( slightly ;) Major Lutzow ( slightly ;) Captains—Unruli , Boner , and Carrel ; Lieutenants—Schnobel , Hilliger , Dudding , Wilding , and Jenner .. ¦ - ; : : The infantry took off their knapsacks , &c ; to enable them to fight the easier , aud , having saved the whole of their baggage , it will at once be seen with what admirable order the retreat must have been conducted . .. - ., ¦¦¦ ¦ , .. ¦ . .

Baroche , in the name of the whole qabinet , that the house , after being , irritated to an . extreme pitch against the government , allowed itself ; to , lie . suddenly disarmed of its anger , and pardoned ; the ministers by passing to the orderof " the ¦' day . o > iT . he result of this memorable sitting cannot be considered final : for peace is never ihe < result---oif reciprocal auarilia \ lon . The executive power was humbled % the Buppliant attitude of'Baroche '• as soon ' as he found that neither Silence nor defiance would be is

No sooner had that journal receivediintelligence of ithe indu | -. gence extended to its offence , tban it addressed the power which forbore to crush it in these words : — 1 Your criminal alliances , your insenaate 'Ibutrages are the surest of coup ^ d ' etat in favour ' of-t ' ouis Napoleon- Buonaparte . . . You think to' injure his popularity ' by ' your ' attacks and calumnies . Blind men . Your . systematic , hostility , / would be quite

      enough to range the whole people on his side , if they were not there already . , You wish- to prevent Louis Napoleon ; Buonaparte from' becoming Emperor . Tour . insane acts would crown him , if he became so . ' Such is the language of the < Moniteur du Soir , ' after the universal reprobation which the articles read by M . Dupbnt de Brissac drew from the house . The ' nuisance complained of becomes more ; offensive that ever . The exclusive privilege of sate is extended by the cabinet-to a newspaper which systematically , insults tbe supreme source o f authority , while the whole liberal press is interdicted

      en masse . . , , . ; . , . ... No part of the articles read by jif . Dupout du Brissac produced . a more marked effect than the confidence with which the ' . Moniteur du Soir' asserted that it was under no apprehension ^ of being disavowed by the Elysee .- The ' great object was , therefore , to procure this disavowal , ' Everybody had felt that the fine inflicted on the ' Pouvoir' had been a poor and bHuMci ' ent measure .

      waived the citation of the editor to the bar of the Assembly , and proposed a parliamentary commission of inquiry to trace the offencftto its springhead . The moderates evidently shrunk from bo bold a measure ; and it seemed as if-the subject was : geing to be burked under the technical objections raised by M . Dapin , when iu ' . es Favre rose and called upon the ministry to declare whether they meant to continue to authorise the privileged sale of a journal which menaced the sovereign power of the Assembly , and plainly hinted the intention of the executive to get rid of the control of the legislature . The silence hitherto maintained by the ministers , and evidently imposed upon them for the occasion , was now no tribune

      longer tenable , and Baroche ; occupied the . But instead of giving the disavowal expected . by , the Assembly , he declared with the greatest coolness that the government would not withdraw the authorisation of sale from' the' offending journal . Indescribable was the uproar that followed this announcement . General' Bedeau , Gustave de Beaumont , and several of the most dignified members , advanced to the ministerial bench , and addressed vehement expostulations to the cabinet . M . Baze , privileged by his charge of questor to take a prominent part on all occasions in which the honour of the Assembly is at stake , proceeded in a voice trembling with agitation' to state his firm belief that the ministers were accomplices in a plot for subverting the legislative

      power , and proposed that the Assembly should form in the bureaux for the appointment of a committee to reporfe ^ n the measures of security proper to be taken in such an emergency . You will see that the adoption of M . Baze ' a proposition might have led to General Changarnier being entrusted with the temporary dictatorship , and charged with the arrest of M . Baroche and colleagues . The occupant of tbe Elysee might have found himself suddenly on ce more a prisoner of state . While the Assembly was pondering the range of the strange , motion of M . Baze , M . Baroche proceeded once more to occupy the tribune ; but this time his demeanour presented a strong contrast to' his previous assurance . Pale , trembling , crest-fallen , he assumed at once the

      dejected attitude of a suppliant . No , terra was too contemptuous for him now to apply to the article of the , ^ Mon iteur du Soir . ' The very thought of a coup d ' etat waa frantic and criminal , and those who attributed ' the most distant intention of such a design to the government were calumn iators . Finally he condescended to call himself ,. in compliance with a hint from some bench , the minister of the repulu lie . He repeated over and over again , with an effusion , of apparent sincerity , the clearest and mosemphatic pledges that the present cabinet would 1 st bour only for the firm maintenance of existing institutions

      . His speech was highly applauded by the moderates , in whom he dexterously stirred th ^ ir old rancour against the liberals ; and finally ; he ' was recaved with open arras by the ineii who had aposiro . p . hised him with thegreatest vehemence , Baze himself . being molified into the , withdrawal of his proposition , and warmavowalrof the satisfaction with which he had listened to the minister ' s assurances , fhe order of the day was voted after a doubtful trial , by assts etjeve , and Dupin crowned' the reconciliation with a pun , observing , that having sealed a treaty of peacej they were now going to discuss tbe budget of war . -

      Such was the sensation produced by the first speech of Baroche , in which he refused to interdict the 'Moniteur du Soir' from street sale , that several fo r ei gn envoys sent off immediately special couriers to notify to their governments the official declaration of war between the executive and legislative . On ; Frjday as the president of the republic drove to and from the' theatre of the Ambigu Comique , where he witnessed the . representation of' Le Roi de Rome , ' he was accompanied by loud and general cries of ' Vive Ia republique !' . 200 invalids had be e n in vi ted , and a hundred veterans of the imperial army clothed in the uniform of that time sat in the pitof the theatre . . ; ' ' : ; Noi ; only the isolate forts about Paris ' are filled with troops , but the ten maisonsportes constructed in the continuous line ; of fortification are also full . .

      GERMANY . The Prussian government has re-called its envoys at Frankfort . This decision was come to in a cabinet council , held on the evening of the 26 th , at Sans Sonci . It is well known that in all the endeavours made by Prussia to come to an arrangement with Austria the cabinet of Vienna has invariably returned as answer that the plenum of Frankfort must decide—Austria wants to reconstitute ' . the old peruke , and protocol body over which it presided previous to the

      revolution of 1848 . It wants to'blot' out the last two years , during which liberal tendencies had a momentary sway , from the page of history . In this vain attempt . Austria is joined , by Bavaria and Saxony . ¦ The endeavours of Prussia to come to an understanding with the cabinet of Vienna have failed before , the ob 8 t } nate desire evinced for a . return to the' crumbled Metterriic . ^ policy .:, The ehdeavpurs for a free' conference to . discuss the definitive organisation of the larger confederation have failed .
