From the seat of warin the west the rumor which revailed on the ist ult., of a battle at Trentschin, fas been again confirmed. ‘The Austrian troops en- gaged consisted of the corps of Vogel and the brigade ‘of Benedck; while the Hungarian forces were the ad- ‘vanced guard under Gen.

The English tory papers announce, that in the Hungarian camp. in consequence of the proclamation ‘of the republic, there reigus a spirit of disunion, and that the hursars wish todesert. This is wholly untrue, Jor the republic was » in Debreezin, or Ciausenburg. or k ‘crown is in abeyance. but nobody has declared for the republic; the deposition of the house of Hapsburg was however, prociaiued. precisely on account of the feel- Gng in the army. since the soliers would no longer tuke the onth to serve “truly the king and the constitu tion” when joiuing their colors. and declared.that they would not swear fealty toa faithlens king, who had be- trayed Hungary.

The true point for notice, and one whieb contrasts with our sapineness, is that to which we referred about three weeks back—namely, the landing of one bundred aC fifteen Americans at Grey ‘Town, forming what is called “ Gordon's Association,” with a steamboat in pieces, ready to be put together for the navigation of the river San Juan and of Nicaragua Lake, which steamer is announced as the first of three that are to commence plying within tho next six months. Mr. Gordon, however, anlike Dr. Brown, in- stead of attempting to evade the elaims of the King of Mosquito to the right bank of the river, entered at once into negotiations with the British authorities to obtain their sanction to bis undertaking. Meanwhile, the conduct of the Nicaraguans evems likely to defeat their owa object, and the claims set up by them have probably already been the enuse of pre- venting steps that might otherwise have been taken. Areference to the most authentic maps of Central America, will show that the seaboard of the Mosquito country comes down to the mouth of the river San Juan, and that this river for about sixty miles of its course to the interior forms the southern Mosquito boundary. ‘The opposite bank forms the boundary of the republic of Costa fica, and hence, in fact, Nicaragua has no- thing to do with the San Juan, except at the upper part, where the Mosquito boun ny terminates and her own territory begins, and where she consequently pos- sesses for the remuinder of its course to the lake, a right to its navigation jointly with Costa Rica In her own maps. however, when the subject of a canal has been agitated, she has thought fit to draw a line termi- nating the possessions of the King of Mosquito at a point considerably above the San Juan. and this apps. rently for the sole object ot getting a claim to one en- tire side of that river; for the line, palpably, is not the uutural boundary of Mosquito, and the country it in- cludes was, probably, never visited by # Nicaragaan surveyor, or, pertaps, even by a Nicaraguan citizen, The King of Mosquito, moreover, whose country has been under our protection for more than two een- turies, holds possession. Grey Town has been esta- plished at the harbor, and ‘the question is prac- tically settled. Under these circumstances, nothing more would be heard of it, were it not for the visits of American adventurers, such as Dr Brown, who, aware of the value of the route, seck to urge the Nica- raguan people to contention by the promise that Con- grees will recoguise their cause, andenter into a brawl on account of it, Otfers of money are added, and ia this was the vanity or cupidity of the parties in power isworked upon for their delusion, Hence it appears they have just refus ive Mr. Christie, the Bri- tish Consul and a King of Mosquito, in his official capacity. sult of their folly, should they persevere in it, will be Nicaragua will still remaina wilderness, while her nei States will gain whit she loses. America will certainly not back her pretensions, and England will do nothing to promote her advancement But the attention which has been aroused towards Cen. tral America cannot now die away. The Unit States will again direct themselves to Panama or Te- huantepee, andfor English capitalists Costa Rica will present all the advantages that are common tc he Tagua, with the addition of a comparatively stable go- yornment and an improving commerce. Inderd, as far as regards the construction of « simple and inexpen- sive passenger route to the Pacific, this little republic possesses facilities perhaps more readily available than those in any other quarter. Micellaneous, Supper Death or Lavy Buxssisctos.—Our Paris correspondent, in his letter dated Monday, 6 in the af- ternoon. announces this distressing event as follows: “We have all been much shocked this afternoon by the sudden death of Lady Blessington. Her Ladyship dined yesterday with the Duchesse de Grammoat, and returned home late, in her usual health and spirits. In the course of this morning she felt unwell, and her homecpathic medical adviser, Dr. Simon, was sent for. After « short consultation, the doctor announced that his patient was dying of apoplexy, and his prediction was unhappily verified but too rapidly, as her Lady- ship expired in his arms about an hour and a half ago.

Up to the present time, the reports from all parts of the kingdom agree in deserib- ing the appearance of the country as promising future abundance ; but the satisfaction which this is calou- lated to impart is much lessened by the conviction that free trade will keep down prices at a point rendering it difficult for our farmers to realize a profit, however abundant may be the yield of their crops. Wedo not wish to quarrel with low prices of focd, when the consequence of a plentiful home pro- duce; but when the result of undue foreign competition, the effect is invariably injurious to the commerce and prosperity of the kingdom. ‘The news from the north of Europe is of @ more pacific character this week, and there appears to be some chance of peace being re- stored between the G d Danes; but whether the blockade be rai .

There isa varicty of political gossip flying about the clubs this morning The indignant remoustrance pro- nounced by Sir Robert Peel in the flouge of Commons last night on the heartless system of evictions in Iro- land. has attracted much attention. Reports are cur- rent that he intends to make # motion on the subject. with a view of rendering criminal a repetition of the Toomavarra affair. Ministers are using every exer- tion toget the supplies granted, after whieh, it is said, that Parliament will be iomediately adjouraed, and Ireland left to shift for herself as best she cau, during the ensuing vacation. As usual, a number of bills will be dropped. The Latest from Ireland. Liverroou, June 9—10 A. M. By the arrival of one of the Dublin steamers, which eft'that city at a late hour last night, we aro in posses- sion of a variety of interesting intelligence from the several provinces in Ireland. ‘The State prisoners are still in Dublin—still confined —still in daily expectation of being carried off from the sland they loved “ not wisely, but too well.”” The accounts from the provinces which reached Dub- lin yesterday, are of the most alarming character. Starvation is rapidly increasing. Pestilence.and death are making an awful advanee upon the halt living pea- ntry. Landlords, with a cruelty that could hardly find itsequal in the by-gone days of feudalism, pro- ceed on the unchristian, nay diabolical working of ejecting and unhousing their pauperised tenantry, leaving them no roof to shelter them, or under which they might lay down their wearied emaciated bodies to beguilethe dark and silent hours of night, save the ditch side's shelter, or the rude and rickety wales of the cow-shed. Not only in Comnaught avd Mun- ster ix the famine, but parts of Ulster and Leinster be- gin tofeel its effects, Various and conflicting rumors are afoat, respecting the re-appearance of the disease in the potato crop. ‘The reports are very contradictory—on the whole, we are inclined to believe, that up to the present time, the cases which have already shown themselves and not ot a very virulent character, A very important meeting has been held in for the purpose of promoting emigration, upon a pre- arranged and well concerted plan. The speeches were ofa firm, moderate tone, and the resolutions adopted show that the convencrs of the meeting had not come forward with some empirical panacea, for the relief of a large, but greatly distressed body of the Irish people. ‘The Irishman continues to write in the same bold and vigorous rtyle, Cautiously. and steadily, it walks upon the very march of the “ treason-felony” act—uttering, publishing. and declaring, in terms too plain to bo imi ‘low, understood, principles the most seditious, and con- tempt for Victoria and her ministers the m notori- ous; but, with the eye of a skilful mariner at rocks, rei, within the limits of the statute made to suppress tuch spirits as those of its contributors, In the num- ber issued this morning, there is an excellent letter from the editor to Lord John Russell, in which the lat- teris charged with the crime of committing murder. He calls the Premier a second Dilphurt, and suggests that he should bequeath his head to the phrenologists. He thus concludes his letter ;—“ Your extermination 'y bas, up to this, worked well.

The mails of the steamship America were re. ceived in this city last evening, and we are en- abled to place before our readers, this morning, the details of the interesting European intelligence which that vessel brought to this continent, a tele- graphic synopsis of which we published in our re- gular edition yesterday. The Hunganans and the Romans, it seems, still inaintain their position ; the former covering them- selves with glory by their bravery and gullaatry, and the latter determined to be republicans, and to die rather than be again subjected to the temporal authority of the Pope. If his Holiness, Pins the Ninth, 18 as good a man as he is represented, and as we have always considered him, he will give up the contest and withdraw his application to the Catholic nations of Europe for aid in reinstating him; for it is evident that the pe ple of Rome do not want him over them, and will not have him; and any attempt to reinstate him by force, will lead to an immense sacrifice of life. He never can be sovereign of Rome again with the consent of the people of the Eternal City, and this he knows full well. {ff he is as humane-and philanthropic as he is represented to be, he will not any longer asserg his pretensions to the sovereignty of Rome. The Emperor of Russia, it appears, is about to borrow fifty millions of roubles—equal to nearly 33 millions of dollars. It cannot be questioned that he is really not in need of funds, for within a few years he has invested large sums of gold in Continental securities. His entering the money mar- ket at this particular juncture in European affaitss, is for the purpose, undoubtedly, of embarrassing the republican governments, against which he intends to strike, so as to prevent them, if he can, from raising the ‘“‘sinews of war” in case of a protracted struggle. It is to be hoped, however, that this deep laid design of his, as well as his attempts to stifle the spirit of liberty in Europe, will be unsuccessful. The republicans of Germany are proceeding with the good work which they have marked out; and although it {s almost certain that they will have to contend with countless thousands of the minions of despotism, we entertain the belief that they will eventually succeed in forming a repub- lican confederacy. We refer our readers to the details of the news, and, also, to our European correspondence, in another part of to-day’s paper. Our Lient House System.—We perceive that a number of insurance companies and merchants have memorialized the President of the United States, and requested him to remove or suspend the American Consul at Rio Janeiro, for interfer- ing between passengers and captains of vessels, and removing the latter on complaint of the former. This interference, they think, is not warranted by law, and has an injurious effect on commerce. This is all very well, as far as it goes; but it looks very much like ‘straining at a gnat, and swallowing a camel.” Are there no other abuses that have an injurious effect on our commerce ? Lock at our light house system, which is the source of scorn and laughier to not only American, but the navigators of every nation in Europe, and in the world, with which we have commercial re- lations. Our light houses are emphatically a mock- ery, a delusion, and a snare—perfect traps to en- snare the tempest-tossed mariner in their meshes, send them «unprepared to their final account, and consign rich cargoes to the tender mercies of wretkers or pirates along shore. We have no doubt thet, if our inefficient light house system were properly represented to the admuistration, a portion of General Taylor’s message to Congress wouldbe devoted to it. It is asserted—and we sup- pose with good reason—that unless navigators are perfectly familiar with our Atlantic coast, our light houses are liable to confuse rather than direct them, and lead them to death and destruction, instead of the port to which they are bound. ‘This certainly should not be so. Itis a stigma on the republic; and we are satisfied that General Taylor needs only to be informed of the unsafety of our light house syst'm, to recommend Congress to appro- priate a sufficient sum to make it answer the pur- pose for which it was designed. Misrepresentation Exrosen—Tire Cuna Ques- tion.—The North Carolina Standard, or North Carolina Eagle, or some sheet, of some such name, circulating in some township in the interesting State of North Carolina, is very busily engaged in abusing Mr. Reynolds on account of the exposé which he made of the intrigues about gaining pos- session of the island of Cuba, on the part of Great Britain, to which we were among the first to direct public attention, and which very naturally excited marked attention on both sides of the Atlantic. Mr. Reynolds was so unfortunate as te give offence to the highly respectable individual at the head of the legation to which he was attached, because he happened to exercise a little common sense and sagacity. Hence the assaults of the Eagle or Standard, or whatever it 18 called, in North Caro- lina, and which we would not notice at all, were it notfor the purpose of contradicting a most fla- grant falsehood which this village print has perpe- trated, in the following terms:— Again, as to the story about the Cuban negotiations, the public may feel some surprise to learn that this, too, was the dream of Mr. Reynolds’ distempered ima- ination. When his successor, Mr, Sawyer, arrived, wearing despatches, he found Mr. Reynold# at Madrid, and the Minister and the Court at La Grange. Mr. Reynolds proposed to Mr. Sawyer to suffer him toopen the despatéhes, which being declined, he sagely con- cluded they must be important, and hence his conjeo- ture about Cuba, As to the letter in the New York Herald, to which he refers aa authority, it is well un- derstood at Madrid that he himself either wrote it or caused it te be written. The artifice of its date and his departure, is too shallow to deceive any one; for there are personal allusions In that letter to the Minis- ter and Secretary, which could have been known only to himself—and besides no one attached to the corps bat Mr Reynolds could have had the meanness to re- fer to the present Secretary in the terms therein used. This is all wrong—pure fabrication. We give the most direct contradiction to the assertion that Mr. Reynolds was the writer of the letter in ques tion, which appeared in our columns. In fact, the whole tenor of the article in the North Carolina paper betrays the secret of its publication—a squabble between the two officials, the minister and the secretary. We do not care a straw about their private griefs, and animosities, and rivalries 5 but we docare something for justice and trath; and, therefore, once for all, declare the statement of this Carolina newspaper, which we have extracted, to be entirely without foundation. As for Mr. Reynolds he is competent to take care of his owa reputation; and from the evidences with which he has already furnished the public of his intelligence and manliness, he will, we rather think, be quite a match for his present antagonists. With respect to the Cuba question, it is not likely that it is to be so readily disposed of as certain of these wise- acres would seem to imagine.

The British American League now numbers thirty- tix branches, in various parts of the two provinces, The organization of the association, as It is now’ pro- gressing, is said to be with the view to the union of » party upon certain measures to be recommended to the Provincial Parliament. The League, as you already understand, is opposed to the Rebellion Losses Bill. ‘The government continues to receive addresses from country parishes, Hadit not been for the insults to his Excellency’s person by an outraged people, these addresses would never have beew presented. AN now regret the circumstance, as it has only strengthened the rebel paying party. ‘Tho Governor still remains at Monklands, Our city continues perfectly tranquil. If the next steamer brings news that her Majesty approyes of pay- ing rebels. there is no knowing what will be the result, ‘The usual anniversary of the battle of Waterloo did not take place to-day. The troops in gurrison have been practising and firing for the last two days, ANOTHER DESPATCH. Monrnear, June 20, 1849, Yesterday being the anniversary of the memorable battle of Waterloo, is was understood that agrand mili- tary review would come off ; but to the astonishment of expectants, it was announced that it was postponed, ani the reason assigned was, that the civil governmont had considered it dangerous to leave the city unpro- tected. It is also stated, but I cannot believe it te be true, though itis generally believed, that it is thought it might be offensive to the feelings of the French Canadiuns to celebrate one of England’s greatest vie~ tories over the armies of France, As may be supposed, ithas caused much excitement. It is generally be- lieved that numerous arrests for high treason will be made this week, ‘The government have disbanded the 100 additional foot police, and these ruffians have gone away vowing yengeance at their employers, Lady Lambeon will leave shortly for England. The English news bas not produced any apparent excitement. The advices by the next steamer, it is thought, will be of more interest The Cnolera in the West—£xtraordli Incident, &e. Sr. Louts, Jan. 20, 1849. ‘The interments in nine cemeteries yesterday, were 99, of which 81 were cases of death by cholera, A mort singular case, and one which, but for the most fortunate circumstance, would have been horrible in theextreme, occurred here during the last three days. A Miss Taylor was taken sick with cholera, on Sunday. It was supposed that she had died. Her brother insisted that she should not be buried until the next day. On Monday, while the funeral prepa- rations were in progress, she suddenly revived, and now bids fair to recover. ‘The sickness is increasing on the Missouri riv The steamer Amelia is reported to have laid up at Parkersville, all hands being sick with the cholera, The river is steadily rising.

The committee were sus- tained by a petition, signed by tire officers of many in- surance companies, as well as other citixens. The Governor has yielded to the prayer, and commuted the sentence to imprisonment for life. Appointments In the Navy Department Pension Office. Wasuixcron, June 20, 1849.
