Sanguinary encounters had taken place at Palestro, near Vercelli, the French headquarters, The Sardinian govern- ment had issued the following official bulletius:— ‘ToRIN, May 81, 1859, A fresh victory was gained by our troops at seven o’clock this morning. Twenty five thousand Austrians en- deayored to retake Palestro. The King, commanding the Fourth division in person, and General Cialdini, at tho head of the Third regiment of Zouaves, resist. ed the attack for a considerable time, and then, afier having successfully assume! the the offensive, pureucd the enemy, taking 1,000 prisoners and capturing eight cannon, five of which were taken by the Zouaves.

The Austrians have evacuated Varsi, in the province of Bobbio. ‘Torin, Jone 1, 1859. ‘The victory gained yesterday has been followed by a second victorious combat, which took place at six o'clock this eveniog al Palestro, which the enemy endeavored to re enter, but was repulsed again by the division of Gene- ra) Cialdin!, compored of Zouaves and Picdmontese cay- alry. The King pressed forward where the fight was most furious, the Zouayes vainly trying to restrain him. ‘On Tuesday the Austrians attacked the Sardinian yan- guard at Sesto Calande on the Ticino, and the fight lasted two hours, Our troops crossed the Ticino in pursuit of the enemy. A numerous Austrian corps d’armée appeared before Varese, but Garibaldi ordered the National Guard not to resist, and fell back on Lago Maggiore. An attack was attempted by our troops against Laveno on the Lago Magiore, but without result, ADDITIONAL DETAILS. Additional details of the battle of Palestro state that the Bardinian right wing was at one time overflanked by the Avstrians, who threatened the bridge of boats across the Sesia, over which Marshal Canrobert was to effect a juno- tion with the King. At this juncture the Zouaves came to ‘the rescue and turned the tide against the Austrians, ‘Tho Zouaves lost one officer, twenty men killed, and two hundred wounded, including ten officers. The Sardinians are believed to have been terribly cu’ up, but their logs is not mentioned. An Auetrian General is reported killed. Napoleon subsequently visited tho bec flold and congratulated the Sardinians on the re- The Turin despatch of the 2d says, that tho Austrians on that morning advanced from Bobbio towards the French outposts, but rotired after a short fight.

The Paris Moniteur publishes despatches from Vercelli, which the Emperor bad made his headquarters. These despatches are confirmatory of the Sardinian bullotins, and Say that the Sardinians behaved most valiantly at Paleatro. In regard to the part taken by the Zouaves, they state. that they porfofmed wonders. One despatch * says :—‘!

Every telegraph brings an order from the Emperor for more troops, and the avenues to the capital ere daily choked with the military convoys which are hastening to the Lyons station. At home everything {s done to atone for the absence of ‘thas Imperial spirit which for s0 many years bas pervaded the minutest movements of the government. A scene ‘was got up in which the Empress, the infant Prince Impe- rial, old Jerome Bonaparte and the two bodies of the Le- | jllery, hae gislature performed for the benefit of France and Earopo generally at the Tuileries, I regret that it was in process of enactment on the very day in which I was writing to catch the mail; but you have doubtless soen an account of it, Some of the Senators, sensitively alive to the one theusand a year sterling which they derive from their offices, were melted to tears as they saluted tho band of the poor child, whom a chance rifle may tomorrow make another Louis Quatorze; wnd the Empress who for the firet time is catled upon to rehearse the rate of Napoleon's widow, exhibited the nervousness natural to a debutante. ‘The scene al- together was intended by Count de Morny and others to oduce # great effect. It hns really not done 80, except degree the reverse of what was doubtless in! log lan Gazette has been much canvassed, and ite the French accounts of the battle of Montebello, a certain reliance is placed upon it. It is too long for the compass of 8 but its tone is in decidedly good taste. “The French” it says, “fought with great bravery. The Piedmontese wt the commencement of the action were very firm: afterwards their vigor decreased, and in the end completely lost. [he Austrian troops behaved admirably. ‘lhe artillery merits the greatest praise, Tae var bi charged the French battalions with great aw. end threw them into disorder. A battalion of the Archduke Charies, having been formed into a square, awaited the charge of a regiment of French cavalry, and having allowed it to come up to adietance of forty feet, al- moat entirely destroyed it by a fire of musketry. Oar killed are 300 in number. The enemy must bave expe- rienced more important Josses, not having found the means of disquieting the repose of our regiments during the night or tbe next morning. This military exploit will show the French thatthe Austrian soldier is not such as their journals represent him. Yesterday the Empresas Regent after having gone through the ceremony of receiving her ministers and repairing to mags in the chapel of the Tuileries, went to St. Cloud, where she will remain during the Emperor’s absence. The Prince Imperial had already preceded her. On Sa- turday evening her Majesty, accompanied by the Princess Clotilde, attended the Cirque—that arena of woudrous horgemausbip and where tumblers play such strange fan- tastic tricks—and took much interest in the performance. Prince Jerome, who lately astonished the Deputies and Senators with ‘bis muscular strength in supporting the hope of the Bonaparte dynasty in bis arms, retires to- day, accompanied by the Princess Clotilde, to his summer residence at the Palace at Mendon, Count de Persigny has arrived in Paris from London to pase afew days. The Minister of War has regulated as follows the pro- visional Command of the sub-division of the first military division :— Firet command, Gen Soumain, headquarters, Paris; second, Gen.

Gea. of Brigade, Soumaia, has been promoted to the rauk of General o° Division. The death of the Kiog of Naples and the English diflculty about Tocany must not be omitted a3 among the many cenees of uneasiness here. It is well un- derstood that the language held to Naples from the Emperor's headquarters bag nos beea sympathized with by tbe English government, and tbe Tuscaa position till remains ungettled. Ju fact, embarragements thicken absolutely 20 close on the Italian question that nothing thort of an Augterlitz or a Marengo will dissipate them; and ae Deus ¢% machena the Austrians eeem in no hurry to offer. The Emperor bes made one or two innovations on the practices of war, Ag soon as the wounded Austrian pri- soners can be removed with eafety, they are to be return. ed to the enemy without requiriog an exchange, And bis punishment of two grenadiers for entering a store room and filing their canteens with wine from a cagk they had bored, is simply that they shall be returned to France and be doprived of the opportunity of sharing in the glories of the campaign.

My Drar Sin- The admirable revolvers which you have had the kindness to send me, though 1 have very little claim on Your attention, really eal for all my gratitude. You must be one of thore who bave merited the name of brave throughout the world, as the really brave have alwayna good heart, Tha pistols arrived at an excellent mor and are,to me of good augury.

Como, where Garibaldi has now entered, is a town of | , and @ Biehop’s ace, ‘It is situated on the western arm of the Lago de 0. Ithas a flour- ishing trade and important resources. Its distance from Milon is eight or nine leagues, AtCamerlata, haifa leagus from Como, to which the Austrians at first retired, but af- terwards abandoned, is the head of the Milan railway, passing by Mcnza. From Como there are excellent roads to Milan, to Bergamo on the east, to Novara and Vercelli _ on the west. Garibaldi, master of this town, commands | allthe country compriged between the Ticino and the Adda, up to Monza and Bergamo, and over to Milan, if the Austrians do not send forces fo that point, It’is at | Monza, too, which 1s about nine miles from Como and five from Milan, that is deposited the famous iron crown of the old kings of meek The troops of the Fifth corps d'armée are every day arriving at Leghorn, Several detachments have already quitied that city for Florense, “ Paris, May 31, 1859. is difficult to believe any government in these days—days: in which the Virgilian picture of Rumor is not less appli- | cable to truth~ | Cui quot sunt corpore plume, 1 Tot vigiles occuli sabter (mirabile dictu! ” i Tot linguce, totidem ora sonant, tot subrigit aures. —would be #0 impolitic a8 to persist in making such pal pable migstatements—never did nation start on sucha fool’s errand as Austria when ehe crossed the Ticino. From the first moment that the point of a French pike bas been espied the other side thé Alps, the burden of each bulletin has been, as to-day:—Les ennemies ont été dé- faite; les Autrichiens sorg en pleine déroute. It reminds one of the early days of the Russian campaign, when the cross. ing of the Pruth seomed followed by one continued series | of Russian disastere—all, of course, the more remarkable when an enemy chooses its own time and pince. { The last report in the Moniteur, dated May 29, is that the enemy, attacked yesterday, was defeated, Garibaldi entering the town ot Como at 10 o’clock in the evening, On the Lago Maggiore the steamers Benedlek and Radetzsky bombarded Canobio'during three hours, which was defend- ed with admirable courage. To-day, on the left bank of the Seis, opposite Verceil, a skirmish took place, in which the Austrians were driven back, Como has been placed under the government of King | Emanuel. The telegraph has been re-established, and tho | surrounding population flies tov arms under Garibaldi, | Other reinforcements aré arriving, and the inhabitants dwelling by the Lago Maggiore are preparing » vigorous resistance. ‘How passing strange are the mutabilities of life! Hero is Garibaldi, who but a few years ago was in arms against the French—who was the soul of the resistance so s\outly made against the legions of the Sccond Republic—who, with a price sct on his head, with difficulty made his escape to Genoa, and subsequently found shelter in tho United States—is now the cynosure of all eyes, thehope of | the allied armies, the proud recipient of French encomium and honor, Poor Orsini!—~what a pity he had not kept his | bombs eighteen months longer! During the last five years Garibaldi bas been living in retirement with his sons on the small island of Caprora, situated between Sardinia | and Madeleine. Now, this famous guerilla chief, with his | lofty stature, his herculean strength, his energetic and ex- pressive countenance, and last, not least, his picturesque costume, is, after his own fashion, the impersonation of Italian nationality—wherever surprises, dashing attacks, | an advanced guard is-wanted, there is Garibaldi, | Still, it is difficult to believe that a nation which, like | Austria, has had%o much experience of the power of its enemy—which has been making its preparations for half a century—is about to be foiled by ten such men as Gari- baldi, Certain it is that, despite the glowing descriptions furnished by the correspondents of French journals of the brilliant victory of Montebello, and of the oft reiterated intelligence that the enemy are flying before the French en avant, & secros | misgiving ia beginning to prevail ‘among the intelligent Classes. The Rentes hang their heads like flowers scorched by an uncongenial sun; the old Burgesses smile iacrodu- lously when a speedy termination of the Italian war is talked of; there. never was but one man, they say, who mado,quick work of it with Austria, and he finished his carcer at Si.

Marshal Pelis sicr bes left Paris for Nancy, the headquarters of thearmy he commands, The Duchess de Malakoff has accompanied him. The French government is busy preparing immense supplies, €0 that on crogseing the Po and Ticino the Lom- bard people shall be free from all exactions, All the siege materials accumuiated at Marseilles and Toulon are being shipped for Italy; forty vessels are employed, The guvs are rifled, end are eight and twelve pounders. The range of the small siege guns is from 4,000to 6,000 yards. Bobbio, to which place the Austrians have gone, is a town situated at the southern extremity of Piedmont, on the frontier of the Duchy of Parma. It was before, fora a short time, occupied by the Austrians, when they flrat in- vaded Piedmont; but they abandoved it some days after- wards, and it is difficult to account for the news conveyed by telegraph —that they have since returaed. Now Robbio is situated, on the contrary, on the left bank of the Sesia, at a short distance from Mortara, where the Avatrians have s considerable force, and is about half way between that ¢ and Vercilll, A movement on Robbio could be easily explained, as, according to information re- ceived, the enemy appear disposed to dispute with the allies the je of the rivers and streams which now separate the Piedmontese lines from theirs; and it is pro bable that these operations will give rise to partial com- bate, if not to a battle of importance. The Austrian prisoners embarked on board the Isen, for Marseilles, belonged for the most part to the 32d regiment et of the Archduke Ferdinand d’Este. A letter ym Turin states that there were found on these men a great number of gold pieces, and, as the Austrian soldiers enly receive F poe money from the government, this gold, St s‘Bupposed, must have been taken from the inhabitants of the provinces occupied by Marshal Gyulai’s troops. Garibaldi bas received at Como reinforcements of men and artillery. He has organized the National Guard and mobilized the volunteers who have flocked in from_ every side, national movement is Cog: iteelf. The telegraph from Como is now worked by Piedmontese. 8,000 Pitdmonteee are said to be at Varese, where a French corps d’armée is expected. A revolution has burst forth in the Valtelline. The population is flocking to Sondrio, tho centre of the movement.

A Berlin letter tn the Independance, of Brussels, says :— ‘According to eure information received as to the present feelings of the principal German governments, Wurtem- burg, Bavarla and the Grend Dachy of Oldenbourg are not opposed to coming to an understanding with Prussia ; but, a8 regards the movement in the south, they consider a more decisive action to be necessary, within a short de- lay, Saxony and Hanover, which even on ordinary occa- sions tend to withdraw themselves from the influence of Prussia in the north, lean more decidedly towards Austria inthe present crisis. ‘This fecliog, however, would not, even in Saxony, lead to the conclusion of separate treaties of alliance with that Power. As to Nassau, Darmstadt and Brunswick, the influence of Aut reigns paramount, ‘The following is the text of the speech of the King of Saxony, at the opening of the Chambers, on the 26th of May -— Gentlemen—Events of the greatest gravity have do- termined me to again call.you around me after a short geparation. After a peace of more than forty years in the heart of Europe, war has again broken out, and threatens to call in question the treaties on which her legal state ally repores, The Germanic Confederation could in an indifferent spectator, and it has decided on arming in order to protéct ita safety and its honor, and Saxony, as a faithful member of the Confederation, im- mediately placed its army on a war footing. However painful it may be to my paternal heart to impose fresh charges on my people, I nevertheless find myself obliged to demand from you, under thoge circumstances, the necessary credits, and I feel firmly conyinced that’ you will yote them with patriotic eagerness. The bills reia- tive to them will be communicated to you, as well as several other urgent legislative measures, called for by the present state of things, and {o which it is necessar: to give your supplementary approbation. However sori. ous coming events may be, I am conscious of having con. stantly raised my voice in favor of all that appeared to me to be called for by the honor of Germany, and by the defence of the legal principie on which the compact of the Germanic States is founded; andI am firmly convinced that the Saxon people participate in these sentiments. It is with eagerness that ths soldiers, when called under arms, have replied to my voice, and they have boon hap py to rally round the standards of Saxony. This difilsult trial will also serve still more to strengthen the union be- tween the sovereign and his people—a union which has lately, in the midst of joys and trials, shown itself with 60 much strength. Under any circumstances, if it be ne- ceesary to fight for right, I confidently hope that the Al- mighty will be with us aad with the whole German coun- try. Phe Diet of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg met on the 28d for an extraordinary session, anda speech delivered in the nams of the Grand Duke, by M. de the Ministers, said, after referring to some local — You will have in ‘cular to yourselves with the means required by the mobilization of the troops tmhidh may hereafter be produost by fac caine poten wi may ir ex! political complications. We live, gentlemen, in very difficult and critical times. Be assured that the present situation is really grave. At this moment, more than-ever, we should feel that we form part of our German county, oad should therefore toa level with the crisis. H.R.

Such is the sense in which we are assured this circular is couched, (Hamburg (May 28) correspondence of the London Post. u ane peclecast- eer of General von Willisen at Vieana is regarded as an evidence of a more correct appreciation by Austria of the true position of Prussia, as well aa of a desire on the part of the Exaperor Francis Joseph to leave the Prince Regent at liberty to follow that course with the confederation which his Royal Highness may believe to be more for the common interest of their fatherland. From this it may algo be inferred thatthe greater number of the other States will now consent to the initiative of any hostile proceedings being leltto be taken by Prussia, which will give to the deliberations of the Diet a degree of consistency and union, of which on some occasions they have latterly exhibited an unusual deficiency. In the meantime, that all may be prepared fer an: emerge1- cy, the arrangements for 1g the forces of the Geimin States on the war conteitanont are now nearly comple‘e, acd the troops are everywhere ina bigh state of disci, pline and efficiency. The only complaints that are made are as to the want of men; but as it must be ad- mitted that this would be a great grievance if the federal army should eventually be called into action, no efforts will be spared to provide some adequate ’e OPINIONS OF THE FRENCH PRESS, [From the Paris Constitutionnel, May 31.)

If Germany attentively, she will hear nothing, absolutely nothing, from thie side of the ‘ that can cause her the slightest uneasiness or offend her ational svgceptibilities. Nobody thiaks of attacking the Rhbenan provinces. We are not even seriously moved by certain dreams of extension, certain designs on Lorraine, Aleace, and even Flanders, attributed to Germany. In the estimation of all sensible men thoge are the mere fan- cies of @ moment, and far too insignificant to disturb ‘the friendly relations existing between Germany and our- selves. There has aweye been considerable discussion on the subject of natural frontiers, which are supposed to be necessary for the honor and security of great na- tions, We think there are some far superior to all topo. graphical defences; any river whatever, be it ag wide as the Danube, or any mountain, even as high as the Joftiest peak of the Alps, would form far less secure ram- parts for an empire than the affection and loyalty of the frontier provinces. These ramparts of patriotism Franco possesses in Aleace, Lorraine and Fiauders, and she de. Sires to other. Let those who dare attempt to assail them, Germany, on ber bet he relies on bor Rbenan provinces; there she is conscious of her strength, because she depends on ulations not merely subjected, but really devoted to her government. It is the glory and strength of truly great nations thus to asimilate the diverse elements of their vast dominions, That is their characte- ristic distinction, by which men estimate their present in- fluence and importance, and insure their future destiny. But the German and Latin races, with all their diversity, still have one thing in common—the sentiment of right, ‘They repudiate, sooner or later, all doubtfal and disgrace- ful causes. This is what leads us to hope that Germany, hen thoroughly enlightened as to the generous object of the gogo war, will imitate England and the reat of the world, Cs aaa her esteem and sympathies to the ty of right.
