GERMANY. letter from Frankfort, dated the 27th of May, rola- live to tbe sitting of the 26th of the Diet, says:— The result of the last sitting of the Diet is, that Prussia has again railied to her policy various delegaces to t! federal governments who were oppose to her at tue com- meneement of the war in Italy, The greater number of German Princes, therefore, leave it to Prussia to take the initiative ‘in ail military measures, with a view to guarantee the Germanic Confederation against foreign invasion. This right Proesia has never cearoi to claim, founding it upon her double quality as one of the great Powers ani ag member of the Confederation. From this sitting Prussia, by the firm and prudent conduct of | her representative at Fraukfort, has re-noquired the firet place in Germany; she must be cousidered the sovereign Jerator of the destinies of the country, and noither | aria, Saxony, nor Hanover has henceforth the slightest chance of drawing by their bellicose demonstrations the | ¥ bole German Confederation into a general war, th dura tion ne of which it would be imposible w foretell, OPINIONS OF THE LONDON PRESS. [From the London Star, June 1 The newe from the seat of war turns uj the defeat of Goribaldi and a victory claimed by theallie{ forces, that the passage of tbe Sesia by the Piedmontere, d by the King himself, seems at last, on the third attempt, to bave been effected. The passage was first at- tempted north of Vercelli, and next at Candia, getting out from Cagale. In both instances the attempt failed. The third and more successiul effort was at Palestro, about midway between the two former places. It remains to be seen whether the Austrians will allow the Serdinieng to remain undisturbed on their side of the river. Thoy may attack them either from Novara or from Mortara, A late telegraphic despatch from Turin professes to give details of the engagement at Palestro, yet these details are by no means satisfactory. The Austrian enemy is described a3 having been entrenched at Palestro and neighborhood, and as having suffered a very great loss, the numbers ‘not given. “Tho extent of our loss,” says the Terin despatch, ‘is as yet unknown.’ Io the samo telegrapbic aespatch we read of the town of Vercelli, which is situated not far from the village of Palestro, being illuminated, This might have been because the ne’ bad reached that place of the Piedmontese having succeeded in crossing the Sesia, or, more probably, the illuminations bad beed _atganged for beforeband in honor of the Emperor Louis Napyleon, who left Alessandria for Vercelli after haying visited the wounded from Montebello at the hospital. Toe Emperor madearhow of himself when he reached Vercelli, and walked throngh the streets on foot. At the same time the Emperor of Austria sppears to be recetyed enthusiastically on bis journey to the seat of the war. The defeat of Garibalds, announced by a Berne tele- gramnic despatch, is not confirmed by the despatches from furin up to the time of our writing this summary. As, bowever, the despatch referred to expresaly staies that Garibaldi. atter bis defeat, withdrew into the canton Tes- sin, on Swiss soil, it can hardly be supposed tiiat a mistake can bave occurred with regard to an event so easily to be authenticated by the 3wiss. We may, porhaps, as- sume that the carcer of this daring adventurer, so far a8 the present war ip concerned, is Stan end, and thet bo hes already given up bis arms to the authorities at Lu- gano, the town to which he has probably withdrawn, As for the forces by whom he may have been defeated, We are not without information, Twelve battalions under General Urban were some time eince despatched from the Austrian headquarters, not to protect Muan, but to inter- cept Ganbaldy’e retreat. Tg reconnoitring parties of h+~ force were sen a feW “ave ago at Sesto Unlende, where ae ‘oe Lombard territory. Thencs taey For" _ave marched sgainst the ConJottiore at Como, _ «set details will be eagerly looked for. ‘The resolution to which the Emperor of the Frondh has come, to restore all the wounded prisoners to liberty as s06n as the state of their wounds permite their return, is 28 humane as it is really profitable to the benefastor’s ox- chequer. The allies have hitherto bad the advantage in moaking pricovers, and could therefore afford to take the iinet etep in advance with regard to their treatment. At the same time, we are giad to be able to direct the reader’s attention to. very consolatory point in to day’s letter of our own correspondent from the seat of war, on the Franco Ssrdipian side, That gentieman has exam- ined witnesses as to the acts of violence raid to have been perpetrated by the Austrians upon the persons and rty of the peaceful population, chiefly in the nelghbortood of Vercelli. Our correspondent is now able altogether to deny the truth of these stories. His next letier will be dated from the Franco-Sardinian head- quarters, and we may observe that another special cor- respondent bas been despatched by us to the Austrian eide, and that both are gentlemen on whom we can per- rely in observing the utmost impartiality and in a adherence to the truth. We are anxious to avoid that abuse of journalism into which passion and partizan- ship bas already drawn some of our contemporaries, both big and small. It seems now pretty certain that the rumors which were current o few days ago at Vienna and Paris of an impend- ing change in the Pony of Russia, such as would be to the advaktage of Austria, wore void of ali foundation. Count Karoly has retarned from St Petersburg without, according to the confessions of the Vienna journals them- selves, ing effected anything. The journey of a Prussian military diplomatist to the Russian capital, which was announced as having for its object to effect a reconciliation between the Courts pf St. Potersburg and Vienpa, has been given up at the express wish of the Em- peror Alexanuer, It is probablo the decisive failure of these attemp's to shake the hostility of Russia, and by that means to pre- ren the way for new negotiations, has induced Francis Tove, ph at once to leave Vienna, and to start for tho scat of the war, The reported mobilitation of the first levy of the Prus- sisn landwehr must be reduced, according to di ‘Vgence from Berlin, to a thet powerful pauonal the newly invented shooting weapons, There throat impited fo it. There can be uo doubt that the position of the ancient empire of Austria Bas now reslly become trying, With war pat the most military State of Europe on he" bands, Austria bas to provide, not merely for the ea’ety of ber frontiers in the East, but, as it seems, for that of thove im the South as weil, where the remembrance of he migbty kingdom which tne 3ervian race once formed has age’ found vent in the regniog family of 0 irenovich.

I nat kelected for this expedition, under the orders of the com- Mmaxdant of the bth corps, General Urban, who in | previous expeditions bad ‘already reconnoltred “the country between Stradella, Vaccarizza, and Voghera, and who was then, for that purpose, with a | br: of the 5th corps darmée (General Braum), ‘aD brigade of his own division of reserve ((ie- neral Schanffgoteche), between the fete d+ pont of Vecoariz zaand Broo, The expedition, commanded by General Stadion, was compoged of the Baumgarten divisiou (Gual’s, Bile’ anc Tr of Heeee’s brigadce), the Fifth battation of Braum’s brigade, the Ninth ane Second battalions of Boor’s brigade of the Sixth corps, and also the Sch tecne brigade, completed by the troops of the garrison of Pia cenza (Heese’s regiment), to replace the parts of that bri gade which remaiued there.

Tueir reserve, consisting of two battalious and a half, and tho artillery, advanced towards Barbianello, The Prince of Hease’s bri- gade formed the right wing, and marched on Bronduzzora. General Stadion had given orders that from thie position, which bad been reached at eleven o’ciock, the a’ fhould begin at poon. General Urban was to take pos- seesion of Castegeio and Montebello, in order to securea bare for further threatening Voghera, and thus compel the enemy to display his forces. Genera!

Ta the in- terval General Stadion had ordered up the Bils and Hesse brigades to the right wing of the line. Against General Gaal, who bad joined General Braum with one Heese and | ove Rorsbach battalion, the enemy displayed a coustantly incressing superiority of forces, and Montodello was eva uated after an obstinate reaistance. The enemy, kept ia respect by still grea'er losses and the firm co13- terance of our troops, as well as the deploymoat of the | rorerves of the Bils brigade, did not continue the puranit, | and the corps, which betire reachicg Cuetergio, bad | ceased to be ranch bareaced, got to tho lets de'pant nt_| nightfall, aud retired bebud te Fooa the morniog of } the Zit The report then gives the names of the different regi- | | | | ments and battalions engaged, but without meatioang their effective strength, and continues: — % The Prince of Hesse commanded tho regiment Ouloz, a Dattalion Zobel, three squadrons of Hulaue, and four tweive pounders, They were engaged at Caleababbio act Casona ce Lansi, The infantry dashed forward against tne | cavalry with the bayonet, and was several times success. ful.

The extent of the damage/was not known, though it was auppored that extengive repairs would ba required; and up to yesterday afternoon the agents of the Edinburg in this city bad been unable to learn a word further about the maiter. The steamer arrived at St. Johos on Tuesday evening, and Mr. Craig, the agent of the ship, received a despatch announcing ber arrival and the fact of a col- lision on Wedneeday afternoon. He immediately returned 10 Capt. Cummings the following despateh:— Naw Yorn, Wednesd Bave you facilities for repairey What is | e exieut of dawage?” Mast you discharge cargo? How long will you be Cetainea? oRaIG. To thete pertinent inquiries no answer was received On Saturday Mr. Craig sent a short despatch to the tele- graph operator at St Johns, asking why there had beon bo reply to his despatch, Yesterday morning the opera tor sent his answer—Captain Cummings cannot reply yet.” We trust this mysterious silence will be satisfactorily explained at an carly date, in order to relieve the anxiety of the friends of the Edinburg’s passengers. It was conjectured yesterday that the steamship Argo, of the Galway line, bad been detained at St. Johns to bring back euch of the Edinburg’s passengers as might choose to return to New York.

The Anti-Rent Trouble. CONVICTION OF JOEL WBLLER THE “INDIAN SPIRITED FIGHT. [From the Troy Times, June 13.] We arnounced briefly the arrest ot Joel Weller, of Hoag’e corners, in this county, yesterday, under the law Of 1546, for being disguised a8 an * Iadian,’? nod his con- finement in jail io this city by Deputy Sberiff Griges. It sppeass that the property of William H. Boyce, of Nassau, had been duly advertised for sale under an execution in favor of W. S. Church, the owner of the Van Rensselear leases, and the eame was to have beca gold yeetercay. Mr. Church apprehended an interference of the tepxnts at the rale, and supposing that toey would dis guire themscives a8 Indians in the viciwity of Hoag’s corners, proceeded with six men to the corners oa Tours day and concealed bimself in the vicinity. Toey watched from two o'clock on Friday morning until 10 A. of the game cay, when Weller and a compauioa ap- peared on tho highway disguised as Iuuians. Me. Church’s party prepared to intercept ani arrest them. Weller was arrested, but the other escaped by jumping in @ mill pond. Before Weller was secured, however, he aimed a gun at the breast of Mr. Courch, aud would undoubtedly have sbot him dead had not tho gon been struck up and Weiler immediately secured. ‘The man in the water appeared to havea keen seuee of the ludicrous in his cage, and when Mr, Church, pointing a pistol at bim, demanded him to surrender, be replied with wonderful sang froid, “Injun cold, Iojua cotd.”” By this time severai of the friends of the Jadians arrived oa the ground, and Deputy Criggs coming up on his way to the sale, the prisoner was handed over to him, and was immediately started for Troy. The chap intho water ‘was permitied to go, and by this time, doubiless, his abo. rigipal highness has enjoyed the comforts of internal as ii as external warmth. "oir Chorch now returned to the Corners, where he found one of his party, Mr. Van Louven, of Albany, in s fight with ‘several of Yee friends of the prigoner. Mr. C. and three of his men immediately crew their revoivere, and in a short time succeeded in driving off the assailants of Van Louven. The fight lasted about fifteen minutes. Atabout three P. M. yesterday Weller was brought before Justice Warren for examination, under the act of 1845, W. A. Beach, Esq., appearing for the people, and A. B. Olin for the prieoner. Mr. Courch was examines ‘and testified to the particulars of the transaction aud tho arrest of Weller. . Church’s testimony was very mild towards the prisoner, and did me oe the point in rela- tion to the attempt at 6 q defence called no witnesses, and afr. Beach stated to Ythe Court tha: there ‘was doubtless enovgh elicited to bold tne prisoner, aud the complainant would be gatietied with a record of con- yiction and scepension of sentence. Mr. Church, he said, ‘was entirely satisfied that the young man had engaged in the affair thougbtlessly and without knowing the severe penalties attached to his conduct. Tne Court read tbe law to the prisover, and stated to him that under all the cir- cumstances, he would be allowed to return to his fnends, with the record of the conviction of the Court against him. The prisoner and bis friends, on this announce- ment, evidently felt much relieved, and soon after left town. Weller is about twenty-five years old, entirely un- fophisticated, and bas been married about a year. Ho said be entered on the affair because others were to do tbe same, and when he snapped the gun be was s0 frightened that be did not kBow what he was about. | He expreseet! great affection for his wife and mother, an promieed on his return bome to bebave bimsetf hereafter Nike @ man, and would never be caught in such ete again.

Recent news from Oregon confirms thie statement. General Harney has issued orders direct- ing four companies to open a wagon road between the Columbia river and Salt Lake City. The following officers are atiached to the expedition:—Captain Wallen, Fourth Iofaniry, commanding; First Lieutenant Bonnycastle, Fourth Infantry; First Lieutenant Jobneon, First Dragoons, First Lieutesant Sweitzer, First Dragoons; Second Lieutenant Reuo, Firet Dragoone; Second Lieute ant Houston, Kngiveers; Second Lieuteount Roberts, Exgineers; Second tenant Dxon, Topographical Ea- gincera; Arsiatant Sargeon Randolph. The object of this expedition 18 siated to be “ to increase the {ucilities Of communication hetween the Columbia river aud the valley of the Great Sait Lake, in connection with the overland route to the froutiers of the Wes ern States, by opening a good wagon road to (he Snake river, ih the vicimity Of tae mouth of the Malheur river, ani from there to a point called ** City Rocks,” at the junction of therosd from Forts Laramie and Bridger with the road from Fort Beil to Sait Lake City,” The cemocrais ia Oregon bave nomioated Lansing Stout for Congress, and Josue B.

If Grover ehould run, there are some gestions ia the State where Stout would get hardly enough votes to count. Lieut. Mullan and his party have arrived at Portland. They go immediately to work on the survey and cutting throug # wagon road from Walla Walia w Fort Benton. We learn from the Oregonian that the steamer Colonel Wright made her first trip to Walla- Walla week before jast enocersfully, The return trip to the Dechutes, a diatance of one bun Jred and thirty miles, was made in elgbt hours, Passengers came through from Walla-Walla to Portland ia thirty hours, ye the Legislature of Oregon met on May 16, The Alia Its first busincee would probably be the election of @ United States Senator.
