Our London Correspondence. SUMMARY OF EUROPEAN INTELLI- GENCE. Lonvon, Frinay Evenrna, April 6, 1849. } My last letter was forwarded to you by the Sarah Sands; which sailed from Liverpool on the 27th of March. In the ten days that have elapsed sinee then, many events of importance have occurred in Europe. Our funds have been fluctuating consi derably, with an upward tendency, and the sudden eolution of the Italian question has contributed to re-establish confidence that the peace of Europe will not be disturbed, The blockade of the Baltic, itis true, and the great question now pending in Berlin, but which forty-eight hours must decide, are still causes of anxiety. As we have weathered the storm so long, let us hope that we may weather it etill longer. For the fluctuations in the funds, both here and at Paris, I must refer you to ‘Com. , mercial Intelligence” annexed. THE IVALIAN NEWS. As I stated on the 28th ult,, the accounts received at Paris of the defeat of the Piedmontese army by Field Marshal Radetsky, caused an immediate rise of more than one per cent in the French funds, with a proportionate rise here. For a momenta doubt arose as to whether the victory of the Aus- trians was so complete as had been announced then came the confirmation, with the announci ment of the abdication of King Charles Albert, and the conclusion of an armistice as a preliminary to permanent peace. 1 subjoin, under the head “Ttaly,” full and authentic accounts of the war. So rapid and dexterous a movement as that of Ra- deteky isperhaps unrivalled. ‘The King of Sardinia entered Lombardy at the head of his army, when the active octogenarian opposed to him, suddenly, by forced marches, splits the Sardinian army in two, and in two fierce battles puts them completely to the rout. It was a bold and a hazardous movement; for, had he been beat- en, the war would have been a protracted one. In the National Assembly of France, the Mountain, represented by M. Ledru Rollin, and the war party, demanded _arined interventions ins favor of Pied- mont and Italian independence; but it was a com- lete failure. Nine months since France would ave poured armed legions into Italy; but now she is sobered. Lamartine’s famous manifesto is held upto ridicule in the Senate of the ex-minister of Louis Philippe, M. Thiers; and non-intervention, at least, is demanded, and is carried by a large majority, by the rejection of the bellicose propositions. On the announcement of the abdi- cation of Charles Albert, the fund again rose con- siderably. France is peaceably inclined. The cause of Italian independence is lost. France is not sorry for it, but rather exults at the defeat o the republicans in Italy; a death blow has been * given likewise to the red republicans in France. ey cannot stem the tide of popular feeling. which runs too strong against them. The project ed disturbance at the opening of the Legislative Assembly, in May next, ti if suck was really projected, be but a flash, and nothing else. The trials at Bourge are over. Barbes, Blanqui, Flotte, Albert, &c., have been sentenced to various terms of transportation, varying from ten to twenty years Caussidiere and Louis Blanc have been sentenced by default, to transportation for life. These two latter-are still in London. So much for France and Italy. THE NEW EMPEROR OF GERMANY. The vacillating gentlemen who constitute the Parliament of the central power at Frankfort, have at last elected the King of Prussia Emperor of Ger- many. A deputation was ney sent to Ber- lin to offer him that high dignity. Will he, or will he not accept? “There's the rub.” If he adhere to his former assertions, he willnot; but, it is a glit- tering bait, and he may be bullied into it. Should he accept, he will, in all probability, have to draw his sword against Austria; and “‘when Greek meet Greek, then comes the tug of war.” The houses of Hapsburg-Lorraine and of Hohenzallern, have ever been rivals, and the proud blood of the Haps- burgs will never tolerate a rival to lord it over men who have given many emperors to Germany. At the moment I am writing, the die is in all probabi- lity cast. The deputation from Frankfort arrived at the Prussian capital on the 2d, where they were received with great ceremonies and honors, and were in confidence that the king would nd that they might exclaim, ‘Hail, Frederick Wil- liam, Emperor of Germany!” THE ANTICIPATED DANISH WAR. ‘The King of Denmark remains firm to his con- ditions. He will not cede an inch of his rights, and is determined to fight it out. ‘Whatever may ‘be the consequences to myself personally, or my kingdom,” he is said to have observed to a foreign aia, “T will maintam my rights with my sword. THE EX-KING CHARLES ALBERT. ’ I may here be allowed to pay a Lino ate de ment to a king, which I omitted above. hatever may have been the ambitious views and political feelings of the Sardinia monarch, Charles Albert has proved himself a hero on the battle-field. Where the fight raged the thickest, and the bullets poured like hail, the plume of, the king was seen dashing onward, followed by his noble sons. Many an Austrian bit the dust from the royal blades, and the young Duke of Genoa, now King of Sardinia, had more than one horse shot under him. ‘The present King of Sardinia is married to the daughter of Arch-Duke Rainer of Austria, Viceroy of Lombardy, Austria has no wish of aggrandizi tion, and no attempt will be made on the integrity of Piedmont. Lord Brougham has already moved that England do not interfere. THE HUNGARIAN WAR. The war in Hungary continues unabated. Bem, Pole,) the commander-in-chief of the IHunga- rians, thrashed a body of Russians the other day, and took the city of [lermanstadt by storm. The consequence is, that 30,000 Russians are said to have crossed the frontier, at the request of the Austrians. AFFAIRS IN ENGLAND. In England everything is in statu quo. and the colonies keep Sir George Grey and Ben- + jamin Hawes in a continual stew. The former as been made a G. C, B., asa compensation for the annoyance he is put to. Mr. Ward, Secretary of the Admiralty, has been appointed Crovernor General of the Ionian Islands, and is succeeded by Mr, ‘Tufnel, of the Treasury. Lord Gough has beaten the Sikhs; so when Charley Napier arrives he will have nothing to do. The details of this battie did not reach Bombay in time for the steamer. i ‘ But the attention of the English public has been absorbed by the trial of Rush, who murdered Mr. Jeremy, his wife, and son, at Norwich. He has been found guilty, and sentenced to be hanged. Two or three murders have taken place lately in England. : . : Hudson’s (railway king) business 1s not yet cleared up. Ile has came to town, but has not taken his seat in Parliament. “ Parliament has been adjourned till the 16th pril. ; Atte weather is fine, and all looking bright for the Laster holidays. The Olympic Theatre was burnt down on the 29the THE SPANISH AFFAIR. Lord Palmerston is never out of hot water. The expulsion of Bulwer from Madrid is still fresh. Attempts were made to settle the dispute. For a considerable period, M. de Mora, anenvoy sent by General Narvaez to London, has been ne- gotiating the reconciliation of the two countries ; and go well disposed did all parties appear, and so “promising were the professions of the principal tors in the affair, that it was announced, both by, Canada the Paris papers and by. the ministerial journal of M d, that the reconciliation had been actually y 80. , or was on the point of be These expectations are now, however, once more at an end. M.de Mora has just passed through Paris, ab Erp ae haste, on his way to Madrid, after havi suddenly broken off the’ negotiations with Lor Palmerston. This circumstance has created some sensation in the diplomatic circles here ; and the versions of the story which are abroad, and of which Ido not ven- ture to insure the authenticity, give rise to a va- riety of rumors. It appears that Lord Palmer- ston and M. de Mora, after several interviews, in which the conduct of the Spanish government to Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer was discussed, came at last to an understanding as to the terms of a des- patch, which it was agreed the Madrid cabinet should uddress to the Court of St. James, with the view of re-establishing the official relations between the two countries. The despatch in ques- tion was drawn up ina manner which it was con- ceived would satisfy the dignity of the British go- vernment, without, at the same time, being humili- ating to the Court of Madrid. All of a sudden, and after the despatch had been fully agreed to by the negotiators on both sides, Lord Palmerston, under pretext of submitting the despatch to ghe approbation of her Maj ‘ait Queen Victoria, took possession of it, and dher letting several days pass without terminating the affair, ended by presenting another, despatch, quite different from the first, both in is Tenguege and its tenor; and the object of which, in the opinion of the Spanish negotiator, was rather to satisfy the amour i Henry Bulwer than the dignity of ment. M. de Mora refused at once to accept the despatch as drawn upby Lord Palmerston; and find- ing that the noble lord was determined to make no change, at once quitted London, and hastened to Madrid to announce the failure of his expedition, Movenent. THE LATEST INTELLIGENCF. PRUSSIA. : The Frankfort deputation, sent to Berlin to offer the imperial crown of all Germany to the King of Prussia, was received by King Frederick William with great pomp, on the 3d inst. In reply to the of- fer, the king replied that he was willing to accept of the high dignity thus conferred upon him, provided all the princes of Germany concurred in confirmi his acceptation, This is tantamount to a refusal. He dare not either accept or refuse, point blank, at once. When the Prince ot Prussia passed, loud cries were uttered of * Long live his Imperial High- ness!” Berlin was tranquil, ‘opre of Sir ae Britieh O- _ | @he War in Italy, Immediately on the expiration of the armistice, the King of Sardinia crossed the Ticino, an pushed on to Magenta, in the Lombardy territory. Je trusted the Lombards would rise, drive the Austrians from Milan, and that he could take quiet pea of Lombardy. I send yon old Radetz- i’s proclamations. He acted upto them. I can- not give you a better account of the opening of the campaign than the accompanying extract from a letter from Turin :— It is now time that I should attempt to give you some connected outline of the occurrences of the late brief campaign, which has so effectually demolished all the plans of ‘aggrandizement formed in this quarter, as well as the means of information at my command will permit it. The Piedmontese journals have maintained an almost complete silence as to these transactions, contining themselves morely to the reproduction of the imperfect notices published by government; and I have found amongst natives of the country a marked disinclination to converse upon the subject, which, as events have turned out so unfavorably, is easily eon- ceived. The effective numbers of the Austrian army in Lombardy, may be set down at 100,000 men; and in spite of all that wus said about the extent of Charles Albert's preparations, and the new levies which he had been industriously employed in disciplining, during the past winter, it is improbrble that he could com- mand as large a force of troops, upon whom ho could count as available for the hard service and manifold exigencies of real war. Radetzky was ena- bled, by withdrawing the garrisons from somo of his outlying posts, as Como and Placentia, and diminish- ing those of Milan and other places, to concentrate about 50,00 men on the Piedmontese frontier. He passed the Ticino, which forms the line of demarca- tion between the Austrian and Sardinian territories, at Magenta and other points, one column operating from Pavia in the direction of Mortara the other by the high road from Milan, towards Novara. Charles Al- bert’s troops were gradually concentrated in tl tion of Novara, as it e evident from Radetaky’s movements that the principal attack might be expect ed in that quarter. Novara is the principal town on the high roud betwaen Milan and Venice, and fell into the enemy's possession ag a consequence of the battle of the 28d ultimo, The troops engaged in this action are computed at about 47,000 on each side. The Sar- dinian line of battle extended from Bicocea, on the Mortara road, to Corte Nuova, which lies near that of Vercelli, ‘The first division, ting of the brigades Aosta and Regina, and commanded by General Duran- de, formed the right wing. The second divisien was composed of the brigades of Casale, Acqui, and Parma; the third, or left, comprising those of Sayona and Savoy, and commanded by General Perrone, rested on the hamlet culled Bicocca, consisting of a few houses andachurch. The Duke of Genoa commanded the reserve brigades of Pinerola and Piedmont on the left; tho Duke of Savoy was placed with those of Cunco and Guardie, in support of the right, at but a short dis- tance from the walls of Novara, in the plains whieh stretch towards the Vercelli road. At eleven in the morning of the 23d, the Austrians eommenced the Vattle by an attack on the left wing of the Sardinians ut Bicocea, and the fire speedily became general along the whole line. The regiment of Savona, posted in the first line, was obliged to give way, but the brigade of Savoy coming to its assistance, was enabled to recover the lost ground, On the left of the position the Austrian fire slackened for s time, and the whole weight of their forces was directed on the centre at @ hamlet called La Citadella, which was taken and re- tuken several times, Here some of the hardest fighting of the day took place; andon the Sardinian side, the brigades Casale, Acqui, and Parma particularly distin- guished themselves. At thie period of the action « iresh attack was directed by the Austrians, with re- doubled fury, against Bicoeca, which they succeeded in wresting from the Piedmontese. The loss of this posi- tion decided the fate of the day; and although the Duke of Genoa, with the division which he led, made the most gallant efforts to re-establish the fortunes of the fight, they were unavailing. ‘The Sardinian posi- tion being thus turned, the weight of the Austrian line wax directed against the enemy's right and centre, ch for a time resisted, under the shelter of the walls but, after a short interval, their battalions ged to retire in confusion towards Mommo, & place nine leagues to the northward of Novara, where the Sardinian head-quarters were established. No re- turns of the killed or wounded on either side have yet been made public; but on that of the Piedmontese, the number is supposed not to full short of two thousand, If personal gallantry gould redeem the errors of an insincere und tortuous policy, Charles Albert might be held te have expiated his misdeeds by his ‘con- duct and daring on the day of the 23d. A. letter, read to the Chambers two days since by Buffa, the late jinister of Agriculture and Commeree, gives some in- teresting particulars of his demeanor.’ The King, it is stated, exposed himself to the enemy's fire on every point where the danger was greatest. ‘The balla hissed continually over his head, and numbers fell round him; he maintained himself until nightfall in the ttreets of Novara, to which the defence of the Sar- dinians was reduced. General Durando grasped his arm, and implored him not to run uselessly the terrible risk he Was meurring, * General,” the King exclaimed, “uhis day must be iny last; let us die. When his Majesty Cbrerved the unhappy condition of the army, and it Was quite impossible to continue the resistance longer, it bemg absolutely sury to consent to a suspension of arms, he declared that his labors were at an end; that he could not bear to think of the slavery of the’ country to whose prosperity he had devoted cighteen years of his lite; that he had in vain hoped to find death on the field of’ battle, and that, not having obtained his desire, he had determined on abdicating. ‘There were prevent at this moment the Dukes of Sayoy aud Genoa, the Minister Cadorna, with the Major- General (Chrzanowski,) and his Majesty's sides-de- camp, All of them pr him to recali his decision, but he replied with tirmuess, * My resolution is taken— 1 am no longer King; the King is Victor, my son,” He then cubraccd the bystanders, thanking tem for the rerviews they had reudered to’ himself and the State, wud quilted the camp at midnight, accompanied by two demertice. Sueb is the end of the unhappy Charles Albert's drcams of ambition. y ‘Lhe tollowing is the official account of the b of Mortara, us publiehad inthe Vienna Gazett BATTLE OF MORTARA.

Vionna, March 26, 1849, .THE BATTLE OF NOVARA. The note is dated from head-quarters, Novara, March 24; hour, midnight :— 1 had the honor to inform your Highness in my last despatch of the advance of our army to Mortara, and the brilliaut action which led to the occupation of that place. To-day I have toreport a much more impor- tant and decisive battle. The enemy, cut off trom their proper line of retreat by the capture of Mortara, de- termined to try their luck again, and with that object they took up # position at Olengo, before Novara. The Qd army corps. forming the vanguard, under the or- ders of the gallant Master of the Ordnanee, Baron d’ Aspre. marched yesterday from Veapolate to Olengo, and there met with the enemy, who had drawn up on the adjacent heights. Their unexpected strength made the result for some time doubtful, as the 2d army corps was for some time deprived of the aid which was coming up from behind. On the right flank of the ene- my I had disposed the 4th, supported by the Ist army corps. in order completely to surrouud them on the op posite side of the Agogna. His Imperial Higness, Arch- duke Albert (son of the late Prince Charles.) who com- manded the vanguard division, sustained the enemy's attack on the front, during several hours, with heroic bravery, till Baron d’Aepre, together with the chief of the 3d corps, Field Marshal Lieutenant Baron Appel, placed this latter body, with cireumspec: two wings of the Archduke’s division, w! led the reserve corps behind his centre. With the un- paralled courage and ardor of my brave troops we suc- ceeded in keeping our front, till the 4th corps, under the prudent direction of its leader, Field Marshal Liea- tenant Count Thurn, operated beyond the Agogna, upon the right flank of the enemy, so powerfully, that towards evening, thrown into confusion, they retreated at all points, and had no choice left them but to take re- fuge in the mountains to the north. The zeal in his Ma- jesty’s service, bordering upon inspiration, which was dis- played throughout by my noble genorals, brave efficers and men, I mention with feelings of emotion. Every one wasa hero, and to be just, I should name all, for the cor regcous yuanimity, from the highest to the lowest, wi worthy of the just cause fof our Emperor. I congrat late his majesty on having such anarmy. Piribus unit was the watchword of the battle. The services of Baron dAspre, General Baron Appel, Gount Thurn, whose corps fought in the first line of battle, deserve the highest encomiums. D’Aspre in particular, has added a new laurel to thos Le his. Close upon him comes the Archduke Albert. This august Prince, who, anxious to try strength before the enemy, had volunteered to take the command of a division, although his imperial highness had al dy been a commande! chief. [It may not be generally known that this prince fell into diegrace in the firet days of our revolution, by ordering the soldiers to fire upon the unarmed people.) He ex- hibited on this hot day an astonishing firmness, and moved not an inch from his perilous position. The de- coration of the Cross of Therese would be but # just re- compense for his services (the highest militar order} In like manner have the following officers distinguishes themeelves; Field Marshal Lieutenant Count Schaff- goteche, of the 2d corps; Field Marshal Lieutenant Culox, of the 4th; Lychnoveky, of the Sd. Further, the Major Generals Count Degenfeld, who had a horse killed under him; Prince Frederick Lichtenstein; Count Stadion, who was wounded; Count Collowrath, Mauer, Alemann, also wounded; then Colonel Baron Bianchi, of the Kinsky regiment; Colonel Count Degen- feld; the brave Colonel Benedek, of the Gyulai infan- try regiment; Count Kielmansegge, severely wounded. ‘The rest of the staff and superior officers | shall men- tion on another occasion. Our trophies are twelve guns, one standard, 2,000 to 3,000 prisone: Tho loss of the enemy, as far as can be ascertained, amounts to two get is killed, sixteen staff officers killed and wounded, and 3,000 or 4,000 men. Our loss on this important day was also very considerable, The regi- ments and battalions of the first line of battle, have each from ten to twenty staff and upper officers killed or wounded; in all, we have lost from 2.000 to 3,000 men, But none would flinch; every man wanted to be the first, The battle lasted from ten in the morning till late at night. After returning to my head-quar- ters, leaving Field Marshal Lieutenant Hess, Quarter- neral, on the field, to direct the further pur- nemy, @ flag of truce was brought by Gene. ral Coseato, who came on the part of the King of Sar- dinia, with proporals for a truce, requesting at the fame time that a stop might be put to further hostili- ties, till the Assembly at Turin had been advised of the affair. In my absence, this offer was instantly rejected by General Hess, who intimated tbat hostilities would continue day and night; and, with respect to terms of truce, those only would be acceptable, which, till the definite conclusion of peace, shouid be guaranteed to us in the folowing manner :—The military occupation of the tract of country between the Tecino and the Seria, complete possession of the town of Alessandria, with the fort in part garrisoned, and the witadrawal of the Sardinian fleet from the Adriatic. Negotiations of ce to be entered upon at once by ambassadors froin Bardinia and ‘Austria, appointed for the purpose. This morning I was informed by the above named Piedmontese General, that after the battle Charles Al- bert had abdicated, to make room for his son, the Duke of Savoy. ‘To-morrow | shall forward to your Highness the different points of the convention in detail, as the exhaustion and fatigue of those about me render the: unequal to the task at present. At this juncture the good offices of Mr. Aber- eromby and M. Bois C. Comte, the British and French Ministers, proved of greatservice. On the evening of the 25th, Mr. Abercromby proceeded to the headquarters of Charles Albert, between Vercelli and Novara. Charles Albert had already ceased, by his own voluntary act of abdication, to reign; the new sovereign, acting by the advice of his ministers, and profiting by the representations of the British and French ambassadors, took the “ee course which the gravity of the conjuncture, and the imminent peril that menaced his crown in case of the continuance of the war, left open to him, and an armistice was coneluded with Field Marshal Radetzky, the conditions of which, as read to the Chambers, by Pinelli, the new Minister ef the Interior, run as follews:— Armistice between His Maj ty the King of Sardinia, tor Emanuel, and Field ‘thel Count Radetzky, the General Commanding in Chief the Troops of His Majesty the Emperor of Austria, concluded March 26, 1849, in Se- ual of the Abdication of His Majesty King Charles Albert. he King of Sardinia gives a positive and solemn as- surance to carry into effect, as far as depends on his honor. a treaty of peace, upon the basis of the following conditions :— 1. The King of Sardinia will dissolve the military corps of Hungarians, Poles and Lombards, reserving to himeelf the liberty of retaining some offieials of the other corps whom he shall trust. 2 Count Radeteky will, on his part, employ his in- termediation with his Majesty the Emperor, in order that an entire amnesty may be accorded to the Hun- garian, Polish and Lombard soldiers, who are subjects of his said Majesty. 3. The King of Sardinia concedes that 18,000 Aus- trian infantry and 2.000 cavalry shall occupy the ter- ritory comprited between the Po, the Ticino. and the Seria, and shall furnish half the garrison of the citadel of Alesrandria. This occupation shall not have any influence on the civil and judicial administration of the districts of Nevara.

VICTOR EMMANUEL. Tonix, March 27, 1849, The following is the correct list of the new Sa:- dinian ministry :— M. de Launay, Minister for Foreign Affairs ant Pie- sident of the Council. M. Pinelli, Minister of the Interior. Baron Demargherita, Senator and Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Grace and Justice. Morosgo della Rocca, major-general, War and Ma- \e. Nigra, Finance. vagno, Public Works, Agriculture, ail Com- merce. Mameli, Public Instruction. Gioberti, Minister Secretary of State without a port- folio, but charged ad interim with the Department of Public Instruction. An attempt was made to annul the armistice, by the war party at Turin. ‘The Chambers, on the proposition of Lanza, voted it unconstitutional, and passed a still more violent resolution, at the instance of M. Ravina, declaring that if the Ministry al- lowed the entry of Austrian troops into Ales- sandria, or withdrew ihe fleet from Venice, it ren- dered itself guilty of high treason. A A decree proroguing the Chamber appeared in the official gazette, which put a stop to such insane proceedings. : The new King, Victor Emanuel, late the Duke of Savoy, is deservedly popular, and respected for the uprightnessand plainness of his character, which stands in. this respect in advantageous contrast to that of his predecessor. He was born March 14, 1820, and married June 3, 1842, to Mary Adelaide, second daughter of the Archduke Renier of Austria. Atone o’clock on the 29th March, the King met the Senate and Chamber of Deputles united, and took the oath of allegiance to the constitution. The oath was then taken by each chamber en masse. At 11 o’clock on the following day, a deputation from the Senate, consisting of Baron Manno, Della Torre, Colla, Balbi, and others, waited upon the King, to present the following address, which, with the reply, is taken from an extraordinary sup- plement to the Piedmontese Gazette :— Sinx—In the profound grief with which it is oppres ed by the fatal (funesti) events which have just been completed, the “Senate is anxious to express to your bss emp the comfort and hope which it derives from seeing seated on the throne of his ancestors a prince dear to the nation, which admires the rare qualities dear to the army, in whose ranks they have been so often and so nobly signalised. Your exalted father has, by @ lost and lamented sacrifice, set the seal to those merits, which will render for ever glorious in Italy the name of the rebuilder (insfauratore) of our liberties. Your Majesty, entrusted with the lofty mission of main- taining and furthering their legal developement, will always meet with the loyal concurrence of the Senate, which hastens to offer, in these first moment, the tri- bute of its homage and its faithful devotion. His Majesty, visibly moved, replied as follows:— 1 thank the Senate for the sentiments which they ex- press to me,and upon which | piace the greatest rell- ance. Oureauntry has undergone, and is undergoing, trials in the highest degree grievous and cruel. My hope and my most ardent wish w illbe to be able toshed almy blood for it. As yet, thir comfort has been de- nied me; therefore my comfort and my plighted faith shall be to heal, as «peed ilyqnd as effectually as por ble, our wounds, and tcsecure for the nation the enj ment of thore libera linstitutions which the King, my most lamented father, has so wisely proclaimed. To this end I have necd of the co-operation of all the good. It is grateful to me to assure you that J rest my hopes on the loyal co-operation of the Parliament—on the co- operation of all classes of citizens. The extent of the evils to which it will be my duty to apply a remedy is immense, and unlimited, therefore, should be the en- gugement of all to co-operate in applying a remedy, Ou my part, 1am disposed to make every personal aucrifice Reckon upon my constancy and my firmness, as | reckon upon your enlightenment prota. ‘ The ex-King, Charl Albert, has arrived at Bourges, France. The [News {from ia—The Defent of the Sikhs. Advices have been received in London in anti- cipation of the overland mail—from Bombay to the 4th March, and Calcutta to the 21st February. ‘he eubstance of the important intelligence re- ceived by the present mail is conveyed in the two, following notices, issued on slips, on the 4th March, in time for the steame: DEFEAT OF TY KHS BY LORD GOUGH. LEGRAPH AND Covnirn Over March 4, 1849. § An express, with despatches dated the 25th ultimo, arrived late last night from the camp of the Governor General, bringing the important intelligence of a battle having been fought, on the 2lst, between the British army, under Lord Gough, and the insurgent forces, headed by the rebel Sirdar, Shere Singh ‘The Sikhs, we are informed, were beaten on all sides, with the loss of several, but not the whole, ot{their guns, Their ammunition, and the whole of their standing camp, were taken by the British. Nothing is tnid as to the loss sustained on either side; and indeod official details on this head can hardly as yet have been received. By the last advices, the British were still in pursuit of the foe. A ralute bas been ordered by the Governor General to be fired in honor of the victory. The Bombay Times of the 4th March says :— An express from the Governor-General’s eamp, dated the 26th ult., was received by government last night rhortly after eleven o'clock. bringing the highly imyp tant and gratifying intelligence that on the 2lst Sikh army, under Shere Singh, had been attacked in their position at Goojrat by Lord Gough, and pat to the rout, ‘Th y are suid to have retreated in the greatert disorder, leaving a great part of their artillery and the whole of their standing camp in our hands Further particulars eannot reach Bombay by ordinary dawk before to-morrow morning.

Although the arrival of Charles Albert in Paris was announced, universally credited, and pub- lished in the semi-official organs of the govern- ment, it now appears to have been without founda- tion. We learn from Bayonne that the ex-King was at that city on the Ist instant, on his way from Marseilles, and left on the following day for Ma- drid , en route for Lisbon. The Abbe Gioberti, the envoy extraordinary from the Piedmontese government to Paris, had a conference yesterday with the President of the Council and ‘the Minister of Foreign Affairs. cyening journal states that M. Gioberti also visit- ed the English ambassador, and that France and England are in perfect accord on the questions which relate to the aflairs of Piedmont and Italy generally. ce Rumors are afloat in the Salle des Pas Perdus, this evening, that M. Hubuer, the Envoy Extraor- dinary of the Austrian government, and the Abbé Gioberti, the envoy of Sardinia, have offered the French government to intervene jointly with France, inRome and Tuscany. Should this be acceded to, Lombardy and Venice are to be consti- tuted into a duchy, dependent on Austria, with liberal constitutions, and Savoy to be ceded to France. I give you these rumors as they circulate, but have no gisahide whereon I can express any opinion as to their truth. , The governmeut is stated to have received offi- cial notice that the King of Prussia has accepted the imperial crown of Germany. ‘This news has an unfavorable influence at the Bourse to-day, the Fives having closed 1-50 below their highest price of yesterday. ‘The official notification of the death of the Bisho} of Orleans, L’Abbe Fayet, of the cholera, as well as ye other members of the Assembly, was made to-day.

Uars.—Nothing can be more piquant and becoming than the present style of cap; eel oatucne! how light and fairy like are those composed of silk tulle bouil- loné, or fulled, and having rows or strings of «mal daisies, the myosotis, or Pompon roses; two wide lappets of tullé descend upon each side of the cap, whieh i placed very far back on the head, ‘Those of @ perfectly m are most generally worn; but as the warm ddvanees, we haye no doubt that open crowns Tred. It is now quite decided that the form of Donnets rhould remain this spring, the rame an they are at present, that is, round and open, of course the size varying according to the countenance of the fair werer, taking care, however, to avoid its being too large; the interior is mostly decorated with ruches of blonde, whilst the exterior is entirely ruches, with o petite very open blonde, festonnée at the edge, and giving quite a showy effect to the bonnet. Peceninys are too becoming and convenient not to be farhionable; the shape of (hese elegant additions to a lndy’s costume are perfectly simple, and fall straight round over the shoulders—their effect being consider bly enhanced by a coulisse or running of the same m terial asthe cape, through which is passed a pretty light ribbon; these runnings are of a zigzag form, forming a kind of wave. Fasnionante Cotons.—Lighter hues prevail, green, lilac, and fawns being several shades lighter than those worn last month; peach, violet, and other colors, are now prettily blended, whilst white predominates for evening costumes, The Revenue of Great Britain.

The arrivals of foreign corn t lah n off much hand dar- since our lust, large supplies having oayu> ing the at several of the princtpa orts on the coast. and the receipts into London having likewise been liberal Some portion of the supply isf: om porte lying east of Gibraltar, but the greater part is agai ‘om the north of Europe; hitherto, however, compara- tively little has arrived from Dantzic, and as shipments to some extent were made from thence at first open water we may still expect further receipts. The notion of any improvement taking place in the value of agri- cultural produce, with such a eontinued influx of foreign grain, appears to us out ofthe question, and unless something of an unforeseen character should oscur to alter the position of affairs, we doubt whether the retrograde movement will receive a check. We are, however, now approaching a period of the year when the weather exercises more influence on prices thanany other ciroumstance, aud it is therefore impossible to see far abi Hitherto the seasons have been favorable— the young wheat plant is generally allowed to wear @ healthy and promising aspect, and the sowing of spring corn has been completed very suspiciously. Farmers having now nearly finished the necessary spring labors, and despairing of more remunerating prices, havo brought forward rather increased supplies of grain at the markets in the agricultural districts. con- stitution of the corn of last year’s growth has been materially improved by the drying winds experienced in March, Merchants and millers have therefore beem less tenacious of buying, and previous prices have beo t tolerably well maintained for English wheat ; but at those places where large stocks of foreign are held, th tendency has been decidedly downwards, Although foreign wheat has for some time gone into consumption freely, atill the quantity in warchouse has not been greaily diminished, the constant receipts from abroad having sufficed to replace. what has been taken from granary ; and we are inclined to think that if shipments from the continent were now to cease, what we have in the kingdom—English and foreign together—with what {s still on passage to this country, would prov» eufficient to carry us on till harvest time.’ The arrival of home-grown wheat into London, have been ver’ small, and the quantity brought forward at Mark lane, by land carriage samples from the neighboring coun ties, has also been trifling. The whole of what wa: exhibited on the Kesex und Kent stands on Monday was in good condition, which enabled factors to effect © clearance at similar rates to those current on that day re‘nnight. On Wednesday there was little or no English wheat on sale, and quotations remained nomi- Lg nally unaltered, To-day being a close holiday, no burines# was done at Mark-lane, The report of the arrivals is only made up to Tuosday evening, none being published this (Good Friday) morning. Up to that time upwards of 18,000 quarters were received, and the preceding week 25.000 quarters. There is, eonse- quently, an abundance at this port on shipboard, which importers are anxious to place without incur land- ing expenses ; having, however, had a fair country de- mand, a steady business has been done, and the sales made both on Monday and Wednesday Were en ter about equal to thoxe before realised. ‘The millers ha’ not pressed the sale of flour; the nominal top Brice remains 428, per sack, and other descriptions have moved off at former rates, The receipts of Eng- lich barley have been moderate; of foreign, good supplies have come to hand. On Monday the beat malting sorts were rather sought after, and brought quite as much money as on that day weok. Subse- quently the demand slackened, and on Wednesday se- condary and inferior sorts were rather easier to buy than in the beginning of the week. ‘The arrivals of oats eonstwine and from Ireland have been small, but the overwhelming quantity received of late from abroad has kept the market abundantly supplied. The fall from Monday to Monday cannot be estimated at less than In, to is. 6d. per quarter, but at that deeline thi inquiry was pretty active both then and on Wedne day, and on the whole a large quantity has ehanged hands, Foreign feed has been fetching from 14s. to 17a.; English and Scotch from 15s. to 20s.; and fine po- tato oats have been sold at corresponding prices, Beans of home growth have come to hand rather sparingly, and have maintained their previous value. Of Egyp- tian several large cargoes have arrived, which has rather # depressing effect on prices, Poas have moved off very slowly at the lately reduced terms, We have heard of no sales of free-on-board cargocs of Indian corn, but parties having any to offer have held very firmly.

The continental polities, expecially those relating to Germany, have given a check to the demand for the export of yi and thrown a gloom over this place and Manel ter. Our transactions have, therefore, been almost confined to supplying the trade with cotton for imme- diate consumption, and the exporters with a moderate quantity of American of the better qualities ; apeeula- tore doing comparatively but little, An exact report of the state of our quotations on Tuesday or Wednes- day would probably have reported middling American at nearly };d under the scale of Friday; but at this moment, with a steadicr feeling in the market, we can make no reduction in the figures, although perhaps the turn of the market still rests with the buyers, Fair Uplands, however, are placed at 43¢d., Mobile 4%d., fair Orleans at 4%d., as made up by the committee prokers. All parties continue to regard further ad- s from t nited States, ax to the extent of the crop, as highly important. Any material falling off in the quantity would at once be sensibly felt; and at the same time, continued advices of the same scale of ex- cess would probably continue us in the same dull state as at the present time. 2.050 American have been taken on #1 . and 5,130 American and 180 Per- bam for ¢ Sales for the week, 25,910 bales,— Geo, Holt § Arnit 5.—There has been a more active market dur- i Kk of fi this » days, the aceounts from India, ag Il as the continent generally, being considered fa- orable; but we are still wanting the settlement of the chieewig-Holstein question to assist the yarn export. rs, which would place us in a pretty good position of rade. As to supply, there is every reason to suppose the crop in the United States will prove quite equal to the expectation generally formed, say, 2,500,000 to | 4,600,000 bales, the latter quantity being ¢he amount pon which we fix our calculations. The last accounts irom that quarter show a diminution in the excess of <0,000 bales, still it will prove a pretty good crop, and @ considerable supply is now at band.” The sales to-day re ertimated at 4,000 bales. and, upon the whole, we close the week with a market less strong than we began it. ‘The Committee of Brokers piace fair Uplands 4%cd, Mebile 44,4, and Orleans at 4%d; but there is not much demand for these high qualities beyond the ex- porters; 1.930 American have been taken on Loge tion, and 2.980 American for export. The sales for the week are $4,680 bales.— Geo. Holt § Co. Amenican Propuce Manner, April 6.—Ashes.—There is w very quiet but steady demand, at our quotations. ‘The stock i¢ not large, and the holders seem satisfied that even a reduction on present rates would not lead to an extensive business. Beef continues still to arrive in quantity, and importers being sellers, we must quote a further reduction of 5s, per ticrce. Good fair quality y sold at 70s., while some small lela of extra fine have been retailed at 80s., and we look for- ward to a dull trade, at gradually declining prices, to arrive in quantity. The market bare, owing to a prevalence of steady rly three weeks past, but within the past few days about 3,500 boxes have been reported, and our letters by the America show no falling off in ts from the United States, We must re- peat a former remark, that while the quality of the cure is a decided improvement on past seasons, yet a large portion of Western cure fur #0 far this year has proved sour, tainted, and irregular. Importers in general are free sellers,and though the demand is good, there is a tendency to lower prices, sales being prin- cipally confined to Western eure from 3¥e. to 35s. per ewt. Some small lots of hams have been re- ceived, for which there is scarcely any demand, though offered from 308, to 32s, Extra quality are 4s. lower, varying from 38s. to 428, Pork has not varied much in price, as tho market has not been too largely supplied, and we continue to have @ steady inquiry, from 67s. 6d. to 70s, per barrel for the finest quality. Lard has fallen in price again.
