Court intrigues and squabbles are, ae weunl, the prevailing topies of the dey. In Portugal all 1s quiet; the last dates from Lie- bon are to the 29th ult, The news from Morocco is that the people are again rising in insurrection. Letiers from Rome, of the 24th July, contradict the statement that a provisional government had been formed. The accounts from Algiers represent that colony te be in astate of confusion. The colonists are breakivg up their establishments and returning to France ; and in the course of a short time there will only be left the French army and the native population, who are waiting an opportunity for a general rising. ‘The Paris papers announce the death of General Damesme on Saturday.

Charles Albert of Sardinia, has been beaten in a series of battles, which lasted from the night ot the 22d to the 25th July. He has been driven from all his positions by the Austrians.

He retired, however, in good order. The result of this is, that he has solicited the incer- vention of sixty thousand French troops. has done the same. The two envoys, Guerrieri Ricci, are at_ this moment in Pars, and the pace ot Europe is now in the hands of General waignac. He hesitates; but France pledged her at Italy shoulc be free. The popular voice will swell the sails of the French fleet ; many will be glad ot the opening to redeem on the battle eld the share they have taken in the late insurrec- tion of June. It will direct France from her own sed position: and her turbulent citizens being with a foreign enemy, will cease among themselves.

An Archduke of Austria is Emperor of Ger- many—Trieste and Venice have etn declared ee of the German empire—Italy has thrown rself reluctantly into the arms of France, to avoid the detested embraces of the Tedesco; and the offspring of this ill-assorted marriage will be civil strife ind bloodshed.

The last week has been pregnant with events which unfortunately portend serious consequences to Italy, and even, perhaps, to Europe. You will Teeollect that, at the date of my last letter, the the- atre of war was the tract of country included be- tween the Adige and the Mincio, having at its four angles the fortresses of Verona, Peschiera, \! antua, and Leguano—fortresses almost uoparallele | for their strength, and all of them celebrated in his'o ry. The Austrians occupied three of the «: Verona, | Lagueno, and Mavtua—while the Piedmontese pos- sessed Peschiera. The Piedmontese army manwavered within the quadrangle between these four, aod the war , was conducted by sorties from time to time made by the Austrians from the opposite angles of Verona aud Mantua Latter; aries Aibert has ordered Mantua to be completely invested, with a view, apparently of reducing that place to surrender befure attacking Ve- rona, where the main body of the Austriaus was col- Jeeted. While be was thi Radetsky obtained str reinforeemerts at Verons. by summoning General D'Aspre trom the Veuvetian }Fovinces to join him. Thus strengthened. and the | Peldmonteso forces a8 | observed. withdrawn to Mantoa, Radetuky defrmived on making a formidable | sortie from Veron: He was the more encouraged to jasmuch #8, besides the large furcws collected by montero round Mantua. the remainder of the Dime was spread over a tract of rreat leng h, extend. img from Rivoli and Montebaido ul the ex. tensive live of the Miucio to Mantua all points gaged however. Marsha bein, eakened by this extension, Qu Saturday an@ Sunday, the 224 and 23d, the sortie was nade the Austrians and two attucks made, one on Piedmontese, at Kivoli, aud the otter, near the centre of the line, at nna-Campagua ‘The firet wae euccersful, the left wing of the Fiedmon- tese being driven back from Kivoli on Leschwira; im the seeond, thy sucoess was not so prompt — The Bounna-Campagns was taken. by the Austrians, Dut smmediately afterwards retaken, aud the line of heights which form it became the theatre of a to e- protrac ed and bloody struggle.

During the above operations, the | general who commanded the second corps d’armée was | to attack Valleggio on the left bank of the Mineio.— Our forces have not yet lost @ victory over the Aus- trians; but the two divisions of the Duke of Genoa and the Duke of Suvoy were attacked with such vio- lence as to be unable to reach the point where they were to act inco-operation with the brigade Somma | riva at the attack of Valegsio. The assistance of the general commanding the second corps d'armée was of po avail whatever, as his forces were completely ex- bausted by the fatigues of the preceding days. Oa secing such diradvantages, which it was impossible to foresee, the king commanded his troops to withdraw to Villafranca. This retreat was effected in such perfect order that the enemy scarcely ventured to fire of a & few shots upon theirrear. "The obstinate resistance ‘we had to support yesterday, without being able, de- epite the great valor displayed by our troops, to carry off the least advantage has proved to the king that the | forces of the enemy had increased to such a point, as torender it impossible to maintain the advancd position of Villafronca, The king then ordered the wholearmy to effect ita retreat upon the right qank of the Mincio, concentrating itself at Goito, where the king fixed his headquarters. ‘This movement was effected this morn- ing in the greatest order The enemy,in the neigh- borhood, elore to our right flank. and behind our re- tiring columns, merely fired off a few shots, which | did not, in the least, impede our march. The number of ourlesses during this day and in the precedsag combats we have sustained, is as yet unknown, only I | trust I shall have to inform you that it is very small We have to deplore the death of Major-General @Aviernon, at Sauta; Guistina. commanding the bri- gade of the cavalry of Savoy. as well as that of several other distinguished officers. The Chevalier Boyl, Ma- | jor General and commander of the brigade of Cuneo; | the Chevalier Guistiniana, major in the royal corps of the general staff, have beon slightly wounded On the other hand, the provisional government of Milan, published the following bulletin extraordinary on the 27th:— On the day of the 2ith, while the Piedmontese ar- | tillery was hurling death upon the enemy from tl | beighits of Sunna Ci fresh body of Auatri- | ans, commanded by where it had quartere? 0} leaving Legnagio and Vi- cenza, assailed the Italian army. The danger of maintaining positions thus exposed and so extensive, becoming evident, the Piedmontese army withdrew to Villafranca. It continued its retreat during the whole night, leading away 2500 prisoners, and was in no- wise annoyed by the enemy as far a8 Goito, where it istostop and rest from the fatigues of three days’ fighting, and thenjoin the body of reserve upon the line of the Mineio. Peschiera is bravely defended by the right wing oi the army, under the orders of Gen. enna: The news of the reverses sustained by the Piedmon- tese has produced great agitation and excitement in all the States of Italy, but more especially here. An envoy has been sent to Paris for the purpose, it is said, of soliciting French intervention, The Provisional Government has been compelled to appoint a commit- tee of defence, and the persons of whom it is composed, though known to be favorable to republican princi- Blea, bave, we believe, embraced the cause of Charles s issuing from Verona, | latest accounts, in st:ength 40,000 men, and in per- fect order. ad ofiensive would be assumed as soon as possible. ‘i s Acitting of the deputies at Taria, on the 29th ult., on the occasion of presenting a bill for a loan of 100 millions of livres, had been a most tumuita- ous one, the people declaring that if the deputies did vot perform their duty, they would drive them outand take their places. ‘The following important resolution was agreed te in the Turin Chamber of Deputies .on the 20th July “In consequence of the urgent necessity that in- tant power should be exercised for the defence of the State, by means the most prompt and efficacious, the Chamber resolves that the government of the King shall be invested, during the war of independence with all power, legislative and executive; it shall, at once. by royal decrees, and under ministerial respon- sibility’ (the constitutional institutions excepted) make all lawe necessary for the safety of the country and itsinstitutions.”” From Turin, a telegraphic dispatch announces that the provisional government having been broken up, Charles Albert, by the wish of the people, had beea proclaimed Dictator A slight engagement had again taken place, between the Austrians and Piedmontese, on the 27th July, in which the Italians were at first successful in recovering thelr former positions ; but, owing to reinforcements arriving to their enemy, they were obliged to abandon them.

France, There is some doubt about France interfering in the Italian question, though it 1s said twe regi- ments have already left Lyons for that purpose.— The Minister of War had given orders for the im- mediate formation ot a camp at Marseilles, of from 15,000to 20,000 men. Envoys from Sardinia and Venice had arrived in Paris. Goudchaux’s bill for a tax on mortgages had been carried by 378 to 339. | . r It is now said that the result of the interview | between the Envoys from Italy and General Ca- vaignac is that lrance will endeavor to come. to an Unease with England, in the first in- stance, to ofier the joint mediation of both coun- | tries to Charles Albert and Austria. The National Assembly, at its sitting on the 3rd Instant, was ocsupied in considering the report of the Committee on the Insurrections. By that re- port the affair of the Ist of March is characterized as a manifestation ; that of the 6th of April as a conspiracy ; that of the 15th of May as an overt act of treason; and that of June as civil war.— Ledru Rollin 1s inculpated in April and May; Louis Blanc and Caussidere, the latter very se- riously, in all, and M. Proudhon, in June. Itis 1s Supposed that these parties will be taken into custody. 4 . Lamartine is not compromised in any of the out- breaaks. ng “ _ The celebrated bulletin of the Republic, No. 16, is cited in_the commencement of the report, and Mademe Georges Sand ened as the author. After the report was read, Ledru-Rollin mount- ed the tribune, and defended himself with feverish The Duke of Genoa, who, as I informed you, has been elected King of Sicily, has not yet decided whe- ther he will accept the ‘crown.

The latter, on their side, had collected on the banks of the Po. Walden having raised the investment of Venice, had hastened to join them with all his forces. It was supposed they intended to fall upon Modena, Parma, amd Piacenza, to take the Piedmon tese by surp: on the road to Cremona. and to cut cff their retreat should the fate of arms prove unfevo- rable to them. ‘ ‘The Piedmontese troops were in want of provisions. 1 hey requested to be led to the enemy. Among the most ardent were those of General Sounaz, till then cecupied in protecting Peschiera, and which eonse quently bad not, as yet, taken a share in any engage- ment. Charles Albert, willing to avail himself of their god will, rent them, on the evening the 26th. in the direction of Volta. General Sounaz was requested to ascertain the situation of the Austrian forces, then marters of that position, and if their numbers were not too disproportionate, te attack them resolately — If otherwise, he was not to give battle now. The fol- lowing was written by an eye-witness on the 27th, 4 “General Sounaz has attacked the enemy in the course of the evening, and after a most obstinate bat- tle, during the whole of which the Piedmontese dis- played the most heroie valor, he became on the 27th, the master of Volta. Having been again attack-d by the enemy in great numbers, he has evacuated the p= sition of Volta. and has directed his troops towards the general quarters of theenemy. They were in want of provisions, as all arrivals had been intercepted by the enemy on both sides. A council of Generals and Commanders has been held, in order to discuss the ulterior movements ofthe army. The King has order. ed his headquarters to be transported to Bozolo, with the wounded and the baggage. At the present mo- ment, the King is still at Gotto.” A few hours after, a letter from the same point, adds the following details :-— “Nive P.

Up to the present moment, 2 o'clock P_ M., he has not been engaged in another battle Provisions are coming in in abundal ders bave been sent to Cremona and its e: have the troops assembled which ai arte. 6 A piece of intelligence is now in circulation, which | We consider as very uncertain ; but which if true, | would amply compensate such sad reverses. It is stated thet the Duke of Savoy, availing himself of the departure of the Austrians from Verona, bas attacked that city and taken possession of it. This intelligence is too good, saysthe Gazette d’ Milan. and firmed Jt is certain that the #ustrians m: have lett but few troops at Verona, as they sent an immense number te Ci na. The particulars which are given, excite our greatest pity f rthe eafferings of the cities exposed to the hor- rore of war. The Austrians have sacked Valeggio Saunva-Camprgna, lost by the Piedmontese, then re taken by them, bas been again lost ; itisa prey to the flames. The enemy has likewise endeavored to set Marmiriolo and Roverbella on fire. bs It appears that the Austrians spread destruction, fire, and pillage. wherever they pass. ‘We have already seid, that now it is, Italy requires thore beroic efforts, that convulsive fury, which na- tions exhibit when they wish to live free or to die. It is now that the youth of Milan, surprised for n- stant by the first aepoct of di » must return to the battle with the steady resolution of hiding in the blood of the Austrian, that shame of an unpardonable fault. The most energetic appeals have been adlressed to them, As soon as the danger of the country was known, the Provisional Government of Milan yielded, necessarily, to | more energetic and concen- trated authority.” An extraordin: Committee of Defence had been named, composed of M. M. Varese, Area. and Correnti. But the people, disaatiefied with that combination, designated M. M. Maestir, Forti, and Bernetti. as being able to restore its former vigor to the insurrection of Lom! A On his part, Col. Garibaldi has addressed a procla- | mation to the youth of Milan, of which we subjoin the commencement. "be war becomes more complicated, the perils in the country is in need of alt her sone. He who addrerses you. has fought in distant countries, to honor the name of an Italian to the utmont extent of his might ; he hastens from Montevideo with a hand- fal of brave men to contribute to the victory of bis country. or to die on the soil of Italy.

The Great Fire in Albany. We give, to-day, further particulars of the dis- astrous conflagration which has, within a few days, reduced fully one-eighth part of the city of Albany to ruins. The destruction is truly appal- ling. In addition to the loss of property, many families have had their all consumed, and are bereft of shelter as well as of property. Measures for the relief of those unfortunates have been taken.

She willdo some- thing, and we are confident that this circular will be punctually responded to, and that reliet for the unfortunate and calamity-stricken people of Albany will be promptly rendered from here. Our Foreign Correspondence. We give only a small portion of our foreign cor- renpondence, received by the Cambria, in this morning’s Herald. To-morrow we shall continue the publication, and give letters from London, Paris, Madrid, Rome, Berlin, &e. ‘The intelligence from Europe, by the Cambria, is of the greatest importance.

The government policy, thus far, has triumphed. It has presipitated matters to a premature crisis, and the consequence is a partial victory. This was their policy at former times; but it cannot settle Ireland now. The iron has entered her soul, and her destiny proclaims that she will sooner or later be separated from England. Never, within her history, have the feelings of mistrust and hatred towards the Saxon been stronger than they are now ; and although they may be suppressed for a while, they will eventually break out, and the longer the eruption delayed, the bloodier will be the conflict that wiil take place. We do not, however, think that the movement has commenced there in earne: We have no- thing on which to base aa opinion that it has. ‘Two or three clubs have, tobe sure, been dissolved, and an ¢meute between Smith O’Brien and a party of mounted police has occurred. But this cannot be magnified into a revolution. The time has notcome. The harvest is ungathered, and foolish indeed would be the people of Ireland, if they al- lowed themselves to be entrapped in the snare which the government laid for them, and be forced into hostilities before the signal was given, and an announcement made that all Ireland was ready. This is strengthened by the fact that additional counties have been proclaimed, and additional regiments of troops ordered into that country. There are now fifty thousand troops there. A silence prevails throughout the country ; but we think it is that calm which precedes the storm. The next steamer may bring us news of the com- mencement of the real Irish revolution. As a general thing, we do not believe that the people of the United States are aware of what the people of Ireland have been agitating for, for a number of years past, and which they are at the present time, perhaps struggling for at the cannon’s mouth. They have heard a great deal about the repeal of the union; but why the Irish people should demand such a measure, and ceaselessly agitate it for forty years, they cannot tell. We shall endeavor to give them some informa- tion on this point. In the first place, the measure was carried by the grossest artifice and corrup- tion. In the words of Mr. Grattan, the threat was proceeded on; the peerage soid; the caitfis of corruption were ceverywhere—in the lobby, in the streets, on the steps, and at the door of every perliamentary leader, offering tittles to some, office to others, corruptien to all. Twenty-seven counties out of thirty-two petitioned against the measure. The number of signatures to petitions in favor of the union, was 3000; against it, 707,000. Here, then, is one reason why the union with England should be repealed, and why the people demand tt. The original tnckery and corruption by which the union was effected, might be overlooked at the presentl day if Ireland had flourished under the connection. The reverse, however, 18 the case. In 1801, the Irish nationat debt was $28,009,000. In 1817, 1t was $112,009,000. To show the disproportional increase between the Irish and English debt, we give the latter for the same period :— English debt, in 1801, $446,000,000; in 1817, 730,- 000,000. * The British debt has therefore increased sixty- four per cent, while that of Ireland increased three hundred per cent. The following table will show the increase of Trish revenue tor forty years before the union :— Year. 1760.,..... 1790 1798, . 1800. . eosedy« + + 8,445,718 In forty years, therefore, the revenue was more than five-fold. In forty-six years after the union, viz: in 1846, the revenue was only £4,692,463. This is another strong reason why the union should be repealed. Again, there 1s no landlord and tenant law : there is an odious church establishment by which seven-eighths of the people are obliged to pay their substance towards the maintenance of a church which they do not believe. Ireland’s commerce and manufactures have been ruined, and to such amieerable state has she been reduced, that her people are dependent on a single root§ for subsis- tence. From year to year she has remonetrated against acontinuance of this state of things. She has, over and over, petitioned tor remedial measures. She wanted equal representation; but it has been denied—she wanted taxes imposed on the property of absentees; but it has been denied—she wanted the church estublishment abolished, but at has been denied. In a word, she has been seeking le- gal remedies so long, and to no purpose, that she has at length come to the conclusion that England has no feeling in common with her, and that she is justified in taking up the sword and severing the connection existing between the two countries, These are the wante of Ireland. These have led tothe present struggle. What is to be the re- sult of that struggle? Is the rebellion crushed? Are the Irish to be overpowered so easily? We shall soon see. We may know when the next steamer arrives. She left on the 12th inst. The 7th was fixed by the government as the latest day for the surrender of the arms of the people, and on the 8th the trials of the patriots for sedition, were tobegm. The next steamer will bring us some account of these events. Meonwhil-, read the in- telligence from that country published in this day’s paper. a ad a Theatrical and Muscal.

The steamboats Isauc Newton and Ri were both en fige, but both were got and preserved. Eleven tow boats, between forty and sixty canal boats, one small steamboat, one schooner, and two floats. were destroyed. This disastrous fire originated in the stable of Mr, Callaghan, which adjoias that of Mr. Johnson. It is not known how it originated. The ruins cc ver an urea of 200 acres; every foot of which was densely covered with buildings, There were more buildings upon it than upon any other equal space in the city Four-fifths of the buildi burned were brick—most of them 1a tial; and many of them three or four stories in height. Until five o'clock it was feared that the flames could not be checked south of State street; but about this hour the wind chenged to the north, and gave new hope to those ready to despair. ‘ But while this change of wind was of great service in the heart of the town, it proved expensive to the roperty on and south of Lydius street, betwoon Dative eae.

We have rumors of other deaths ; but cannot trace them. ‘The firemen did as well as they could ; but it seemed impotent to attempt anything against the fury of the flames ; no human power could stay them. Our neigh- bors from Greenbush, West Troy and Troy, eame to the assistance of our firemen, and did efficient servies. At lo’clock, A. M., the wooden bala. on fire in Union street, looked threatening. and alarm was sounded. At this moment, the Cohoes Engine Co. came into the city, havi left their villiage at D o’clock—dragging their engine all the way by hand. They at once proceeded to the place of alarm, and by their timely aid, the fire was checked. ‘When it was ascertained that the engines were un- able to cope with the flamer, it was determined to blow up some buildings in Hudson street and Broadway. Captain Stone, of the Ordnauce Department, and now stationed at the Arsenai, volunteered his services, an@ three buildings were blown up, and the flames thus kept on the south side of Hudson street. Not more than four or five buildings are left stand- ing between Herkimer and Hamilton and Unionstrests aud the river. The desolation is complete.
