No particulars of their loez are given; the French state it at 2,000 killed and wounded, bat admit their own to have ‘been between 500 and 600. Now, as former experience has shown that the French are in the habit of redacing their casualties by at least one half, while they double ‘Ahoee of their advertaries, it may be taken for granted ‘that the lossce on both sides were pretty much on a par. Upwards of 200 prisoners are said to have been taken, ‘among whom there were very likely many deserters, but wothing is mentioned about the capture of guns, stand- ards or any other trophies, from which we may infer that ‘the Austrians really effected their retreat in good order, | although their having recrorees the Po on the same even- ing would indicate it to have been rather precipitate, ‘The chief importance of this success on the part of tho French copeists in the moral elfect it most bave upon | their army, as well as upon the Italian population, and the increased timidity it will probably infuse into ‘the movements of the Austrian communders, who have already displayed a sluggishness and vaciliation what strovgly reming one of the times of Beaulieu ay | whe aniillery aod pioneers: of England waiting uatil France le exbaurted in the Italian ‘ make ute of the war fever as ap oxoedient for diverang the mnas of their subjects from the abuses and ihe op res sion they groan ander at home w the peri's that threaea them from abroad, If it bad not beea amoly proved thet the old taw about experience mektog fools wise was a erroneous e8 most such udages, it would certainly appear parsing strange that the German people, who bie a | offen ebeo their Mood for their kings aod prisces, wita a> other effect than to perpetaate ihe yoko tmyoged upsa them, ebould pot perceive at ast toat the difiicaity in which their rulers aro ipvoived is thelr oan apparcauicy, and refuse to stir a step io their de coca natil trey gaze them rome more tangible guarantees for their fatare good beuaviour than those prommes that are invari aly forgotten aa goon se the daager is past. 1 tefer more especiaily te such governments a Hapover, &c., #bo are making @ tremeodous fuss anon their patrioti«m, though ever since the eveots of L845 have been mcetatigable im thair endeavors to stifle the nations] egirit, and w reduce everytuing to & dead level of despovrm In this csoital, and gevera''y ip the north of Geraany, where esveation if more univeresily difueed, aad Pro- tegtenti am 1s the domnact religion, Be Warhkeentousieo ie by no means sogreatasto the soul, where Weis atierad no by ihe priests, who are ali devotes to Austris.

The eignificant article in the London Tim/s, to which aliu- gion was made last week, begins to find an ccho at Vivnaa. The correspondent of the ‘Thunderer” ja the Austrian capital cap ro lovger keep in his swelling breast the mighty scoret that in a few weeks there will be standing on the banks of the Rhine from 360,000 to 490,000 armed mea eoger for the fray. Napoleon begins to feel that this may occur, end hence the comparatively small force sent by bim to lialy. Before the actual commencement of hos- lities the weak point in the Austrian question consisted in the condition 20 well described ag “bleeding to death.” | It is the policy of the French Fmperor not to wp that process, but to allow the enormous drain to go on with the advantage of witneseing it from the point of military occupation in Jtaly. The French army is just strong enough to form a nucleus for revolution, or rather a base of operations, on which the Italians themecives will gradually baild up an organized military power. The French troops will be | good trainers and good backers, and Austria at the end of six months will find ber situation growiug woree and worse, 08 the revolution extends. But the great power of France is in reserve, and { can inform the Vienna corres- pendent of the London Times, that if the Germun Confe- deration falls away from the good judgment of Prusni nnd places these 300,000 or 409,000 men in a threatening pokition on the Rhine, they will be met by an equal num. der.

The Emperor, on the oocasion, put a favorable con- | struction on hie con iuct, and his present success in open- | ing the Italian campaign cannot fail to dissipate any remaining cloud, The village of Montebello, now again become famous, ie | the sare place at which Lanoes, it will bo remembered, | defeated the Austrians on the 9th of June, 1800. It is | about six miles from Voghera, on the road to Csstegeio, at which place a skirmish took piace previous to the great battle of Marengo. The position of Casteggio was always considered of great importanee in a strategical point of view. Even the Romans established 2 considerable colony there to defend against the Gauls that entrance into the lWaltan penineula: and Haonibal, when descending from the Alpe, destroyed the place betore venturing into the valley of the Trebia, where the fret Roman army awaited bm. Bot to rewurn to less remote times: In 1900 the French army, alreacy masters of Milan and Piacenza, de- fended, at Caateggio and Montenello, Piacenza, whica the Anetrian General Ott bad resolved to retake, la order to recstabhéh the communications between the Austrian army and the cites of Cremona and Mantua, Ivie thus evident that, on this particular occasion, the importance of the posi:ion was well knowa tothe Aus- triape. Their first care, indeed, was to establish ther relves there a8 firmly ag tbe time would permit. Large guns were placed on the heights, the communications ‘with tbe Po were insured by means of bridges, protected by ficla works. Their intention seemed to be to await au atisck there, and they bad even abandoned in part the town of Casteggio to fall back on Stratelia, which ig more eary to defend, and where the road forms adeflle. Suo- sequently they appearto have changed their minds, and returDing in force to Casteggio, and here made tae attempt which Das tertoinated in their defeat. But it is best to plice in juxtaposition with the French the Austrians’ account, which, in the Aurtrian Corres. pondenes, opver date Vienna 224, says:—“ Marshal Lieu- tenant Count de Stadion conducted @ reconnotssance in force on the 20th, ordered for that day, witha view to escertain the real position and strength of the enemy’s rigbt wing. In consequence he adeaoced towards Teglio ‘and Montebello, where he encountered forces far superior fo bis own. After a desperste engagement, Count do Stadion retired ip the beet order bebmd the Po, after paving compelled the enemy to develope thelr forces.”” Another teegraphic despatch trom Vienna, headed “Official,” represent the engagement in exactly the samo terms. Letere from Voghera announce the complete retreat of the Avetrians towards Stradeila. Several wagyna with wounded were seen crossing the bridge of La Stetta On the left of the allied army Gen. Ciaidini, anxious to get pores sston of the left end of the bridge of Vercelli, in order 10 protect the construction of another bridge over the Sozia, put two columns in movement, which, alver crossiog tne river, were to upite at the game point. The vody which crossed tho Sesia by a ford on the side of the Albano was cked by a etrong body of Anstriana at Villata, but not- wi nding, the Piedmontese firmly established them- relvet Borgo Vercelli. The other coiumn crossed the Sesia near Capoucini Vecchi, and aurprised two comon- pies of the enemy. It is also stated that the loss of the Piedmontece was slight, toat of the Austrians conailora- ble. Jt is presumed that thig will cause an evacuation of Somellens and Buffalora, unless the Austrians risk a bat- He at Novara. The Opinione, of Turin, publishes, as a curiosity, the following Austriun order addressed by General Gyulat to the authorities of the province of Nor HEADQUARTERS, at Mortara, May 16, 1859. For the irregular provisionyng of the Austrmn troops, the fcliowing articlee are required, which must be immediato- ly procured by requisition on the part of the authorities of this province, ané by delivery on the part of the coatras- tore, with whom the said authorities must sti regular coptracts. The province of Novara eball deliver within forty-eight boura 260 oxen, and daily 200 brente of wine (the brente is 16 gallons), 30 brente of spirits, 60 swt. of bay, and 600 sacks of oats. The said provisions shall be celivered at Novara tothe proper functionary of the Intenesnce, who shall dispose of them in accordance with the special decree issued thereon.

The Jest news wo have from the Emperor's head quarters is dated Al+standria, May 26, seven o'clock P. M. It s'mply states that his Majesty bad been pasting some hous at Voghera, and that no dedinite time was fixed for bis departure. Of couree the battle of Montebello, which has given the sons £0 glorious an opportunity of: proving that the valor of their fathers hos not degenerated, is sti:! an unexhausted theme of interest. It seems tbat the villages of Casteggio and Montebello were occupied by some two hundred of the Piedmontese light cavalry, about fifty of which were at Casteggio, 1nd a part of these were on the road which leads from Casteggio to Stradella, ou the lookout for some Austrian patrole, All at once, however, this amall body found iteelf face to face with such a force that they were obliged to fall back and despatch ono of their number to give the alarm to General do Sopnaz, The Pie¢montese General hastily despatched & meneoge for assistance to Baraguey d’Hilliers, who was posted at Ponte Corona, the consequence of which was the arrival of General Forey’s division, the regiments ot which were scnticred about the route leading from Voghera to Casteggio, Colonel Cambriels, the Emperor's ordnance officer, immediately hastened to Montabeilo with eome 250 icp, where large numbers of Austrisas were already ensconcing themselves,an4 at once a espe- rate struggle eneued. Colonel Cambriels, attacked on all sides, formed his men in square and fovght like a lion. After half an hour’s resistance on the part of this little bond, General Forey arrived in time to eave it from de- struction with the Seventy-fourth and Eighty fourth regi- ments, forming the First brigade, commanded by the un. fertunate General Beuret, who was shot dead in the hour of victory. The Ninety first and Ninety-cighth, forming the Second brigade, commanded by General Bianohard, toon followed, as also the Seventeenth battalion of Foot Charseurs, in ail between five and six thougand men. In fact, of all the divisions of tho army, in consequence of numerous soldiers still absent on leave, Gencral Forey’s is the least pumerous. ‘Ihe French statement is, that the Austrians out num. bered them nearly in the proportion of three to one—that is 15,000 Austrians to 6,000 French. The saturated state of the soil prevented the French from using their artillery. Out of two batteries they could only make uso of four pieces. The Austrians were maaters of the position, for Casteggio was in their posseasion, and they were sup ported at Montebello. They could make free use of their artillery, and the cannonnading had continued nearly five bours when the French charged, bayonet in hand, and for hafan hour a furious struggle ensued, finally ending in the Austrians retreating from Montebello, aud subsequently from Casteggio, where the Piedmontese ca- valry behaved with great intropidity. Not a single French prisoner was taken, and the killed and wounded ara now sald no} to exceed 360. General Forey was struck by a ball on the gcabbard of his sword and is slightly lamed from the contusion; he was, however, able to limp forward to receive the Exoperor’s warm felicitations. When hie Ma- Jeety arrived on the ground it was sti!) atrewn with dead bodies. He was accompanied by Marshal Baraguay a’Hil- liers. Colonel Cambriels, whose gallant stand with his little band has been mentioned, ig, it is Bais, to receiven high recompense for bis conduct. The Austrian officers taken prigoners were presented to the Emperor. Some of them had figured only a few weeks bofore at the balls of the Tuileries, The wounded French wero delighted with his Majeaty’e attention, and raised their feeble voices in salutauon, The eoldiers under arms filled the air with acclamations. Montebello itself was defended by 5,000 Austrians, supported by wo batteries of artillery, A body of 1,200 French advanced with the bayonet, in order to eave thelr few remaining cartridges, and succeeded in their gallant attack. If the whole number of the Austrians is thorefore cor- rectiy stated, the remainder of the 15,000 must have occu- pied Casteggio. ‘Various rumors still bear an air of indistinctncss which every day will tend to dissipate, For instance, it has been said that the National Guards of Casteggio barricaded ihemeeives in their houses and repulsed a strong Austrian patrol with musket shots; that a column of Austrians afterwards advanced to punish the inhabitants of the village who had sent to demand the assistance of the allied troops. Then it was that the Piedmontese cavalry, under General Sonnaz, took up a position, but beirg attacked in his turn by a very supe. | rior force, he was compelled to bave recourse to General Forey. ‘This version will give to the combat of the 2Ist the character of such an incident as frequestly occurs in war. But the composition of the enemy’s columns, their num. ber, and their tenacity in maintaining Montebello—overy- thing leads to the belief that it was © preconcertod pian, The French officers, as at Malakof’ and the Mamelon fight in the Crimea, led on their men to the battie ory of “En avant,’ which circumetance explains the rolative considerable joss among the officers. ‘We ontered,”’ said one of the men, ‘‘biack with powder and came out red with blood.” Colonel Morelii, who was one of the colonels killed, was only forty-three years of age.

The elections are now over: 654 representatives havo been returned to the Commons House of Parlisment, of whom 363 are liberals and 301 conservatives—go that at all events the former have a sure majority of more than fifty votes, an advantage which we trust they will not fritter away by petty digression, but make the most of by vniting their forco on broad general principles. Lord Derby appealed to the country on the ground that he could not govern without a majority in the Commons, and now he ia again left in a minority by the will of the people, to whom he has appealed. The tasue is clear, and it is most desirable that some trial of strength—such asa motion for want of confidence—should be made as soon as possi. ble after the meeting of the new Parliament. The Slat inet. ia the day of meeting, and as no opposition is expect- ed to the re election of Mr. Evelyn Denison tothe Speaker- sbip, the swearing in of members will proceed pretty rapidly, 80 a8 to allow of the Queen’s speech being do livered on June 7, as the preliminary to the business of a ehort, but very active session. On dit, that the Earl cf Derby has made overtures to Lord Palmerston to form, with four or five liberals, a coalition ministry, and that the iatter bas rejected the proposal with the same contempt be did in 1856, Nous verrons. As reepects the war in Italy, the time thus far has been chiefly spent in preparation—for even when the country ig not inundated as at present, it requires time to bring heavy artillery over the passes of the Alps, and no slight expenditure of labor—so that even though the lighter troops are all arrived and Louis Napoleon himself is on the ground, it is not probable that any general engago- ment can take place before the second week in June, Meanwhile, wo hear by telegraph that a amart affair took Place on Friday between Montebello and Casteggio, in which a large body of Austrians (15,000 men?) wore re pulsed by the advanced brigades of the Sardinians and Freach, the iatter under General Forey; and the battle must Baye been severe to have lasted four hours with 600 killed and wounded among the French alone. Mor. recent despatches, however, tell us that the troops en gaged were 6,000 Aurtrians and 3,000 French and Sardi niape—the lors on both sides not exceeding 600 men; but if the ekirmish win the Gallic general a dukedom and a marebal’s staf, (us it did for Lannes under the firat Napo- | leon,) he will not grumble at having achieved the “signa victory |’ We hear also by a despatch yesterday, that Ferdinand, the Bourbon king of Naples, (better known by hia weil deserved nickname “Bomba,’’) died on Sunday at Casak, in his sixtieth year; and wo feel assured that Europe will rejoice, not mourn, at being rid of auch a biot upon humanity, AB regaros the fashionable movements and amusements of London, we are beginning to wear our gayest looks.
