By the arrival of the steamship Europa at Hali- fax, N.S., we have three days later advices from Europe. The Europa left Liverpool on the morn- ing of the 4th inst., and reached Halifax at one o'clock on Tuesday morning. The war news is im- portant and interesting. Two sanguinary encoun- ters had taken place at Palestro, near the head- qgnarters of the French. A force of 25,000 Ans- trians twice endeavored to retake Palestro, but were successfully repulsed and compelled to re- treat. Several other encounters had taken place, in which the Allies were generally victorious. The latest accounts from Turin state that the Austrians in full retreat were recrossing the Ticino. Gari baldi, it was said, had gained another victory, and the revolutionary movement was spreading in Lombardy and the Valtelline. Thirty-five Austrian d been captared in the Adriatic. The e of the news will be found elsewhere. The English Parliament has resumed its sittings | but no business would be transacted until after the delivery of the Queen’s speech on the 7th. A great explosion of saltpetre had occurred at Spithead, on board the ship Eastern Monarch. Large purchases of horses were being made in England for the French army. Sir Joseph Hawley’s horse Musjid had won the Derby. Mr. Hawley is stated to have ‘Wor the large sum of £100,000 on the result, The London money market was easier, The Bank of England had reduced its rate of discount from 4} to 34 per cent. The bullion in the bank had increased since the last return. Consols closed on the 3d at 93 a 93} for both money and account. Prices for American stocks were firm, with but little business doing. The Liverpool cotton market closed firm and steady on Friday, the 3d inst., with sales of 8,000 bales. The market had advanced fully an eighth during the week on fair and middling qualities. Prices for breadstuffs were tending downwards, and all descriptions were slightly lower. Important intelligence from Mexico has come to hand, and will be found elsewhere. Affairs continne upside down in that distracted country, and disor- der still reigns triumphant. Miramon and the clerzy had fallen out. The Church tried Miramon for sup- pressing a manifesto in favor of Zuloaga, who is said to be imprisoned, and Miramon in turn imprisoned the priests. The town of Morelia had been ravaged and the women stripped naked and whipped to make them discover treasure supposed to be hid- den, by a party styled the Marquez expedition, The importations at Vera Cruz had been confis- cated by Miramon, who had modified the ad valorem duties. Consul Black is said to have gone to Vera Cruz for safety, where Mr. McLane was on the 30th } e of the 26th ult. exonerates Ameri- in Mexico from responsibility onac- f the United States having recognized the Juarez government. Advices from Rio Janeiro of the 10th of May, by way of England, say:—The Chambers will open to- morrow. President General Urquiza threatens se- riously to invade Buenos Ayres, and has collected 20,000 men. The provinces of the Argentine Con- ‘ion show their approbation of the war by demonstrations. The following gentlemen have been named Secretaries to Embassies, name” ly:—Castro at Berlin, Lisboa in the United States, Barboza at Montevideo, Montezuma at Peru. Ex- change on London, 23, 23}, 24, 244, 25. Drafts on London amount to £430,000; on Paris to 1,550,000 francs, and on Hamburg to 100,000 marks banco, Coffee nominal, at 6,200 a 6,300 reis; stock 70,000, We have advices from St. Thomas to the Ist of June. A commercial letter says :—“A better feeling is evinced in this market Sor provisiona and bread- stuffs, owing to intelligence from abroad, yet we cannot advise any important transactions. The stock of flour is moderate, and holders are firm. An arrival from Boston has supplied this market with fish for the moment. Beef, pork, butter and lard are in better request.” The island was healthy: Exchange on United States, at 60 days’ sight and bank drafts, par; 3 days’ sight, 1 per cent premium. Private—60 days’ sight, 1} to 2 per cent discount. The latest advices from Venezuela show that the arms of the government are triumphing over the rebels on all sides. Antolino Alvarez, an insur- rectionary leader, with 1,000 men of all arms, had been completely routed by the soldiers of the re- public after a desperate fight of two hours. There was a considerable number killed and wounded on both sides. Senor P. J. Rojas, who arrived at Ca- racas on the 13th ult. from Barcelom, brought in- telligence to the effect that Juan Sotillo was at Pao with five hundred men, committing shameful ex- cesses, while avoiding a collision with the govern- ment troops. General Francisco Monagas is dead; he fell by the hands of Baca. The rebel Toilo Me- drano had been completely defeated in the nity of Cano de Chirgua, by Commander José } irabal, leaving more than one hundred dead on the field, besides 64 prisoners and a number of horses, The forces of Linares shared the same fate near a place called Baul. The government troops were in high spirits, and seemed certain of being able to crush out the last embers of the revolution ina Short time. A magnificent ovation had been given to General Paez, in the form of a theatrical repre- sentation, when Senorita Robrefio appeared in “La Dama de las Camelias,” known here as Camille.’ ‘The house was crowded, and the undertaking was @ perfect success. General Paez had paid a visit to Laguayra, where he was received with the highest demonstrations of respect. It was thought the Ge- neral would be a candidate for President at the next election, but if anarchy continued to prevail that he would return to this city and spend the re. mainder of his days here. The weather was rather warm, and no rain had fallen for some time. Despatches have been received at Washington from our Ministers at Chile, Peru and Venezuela, which state that the revolution in Chile had fin; ly terminated, and that the difficulties between Yona. zuola and the United States had at length been ad- fosted. The diffeulties with the Indians on the Prciic are ¢ NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JUME 15, 1959. in a fair way of settlement. A despatch from Ge- neral Harney to the War Department states that he anticipates no further trouble with them. The bark Orion, from Congo river, arrived here last evening in charge of Lieuts. Diilas an] Camp- bell, and anchored under the uis of the Navy ¥ard. The Orion was seized on suspicion of being aslaver, The captain, John E. Hanna, died on the 26th ult., it is said of a broken heart. Our correspondent at Galveston gives an account of the supposed murder of a Mr. W. W. Lyons, on board the steamer Matagorda, by a person named Hill. Mr. Lyons is said to have been a resident of this city. Our correspondent at Leavenworth states that the Kansas gold fever had subsided, and that al- though gold might possibly be found in the moun- tains in large quantities, yet the localities where it was hidden had not been discovered. The recruits for the army of Utah, numbering 375 men and offi- cers, were to leave Leavenworth on the 8th instant on their journey across the plains, A small detach- ment of dragoons for Fort Kearney was also at Leavenworth, Accounts from Pike’s Peak speak highly of the success of mining in that region, and that claims had risen enormously in value. The snow had dis- appeared, anda strong tide of emigration was set- ting in. We publish to-day, in anothér column, some addi- tional particulars of the accident to the steamship Edinburg. Robert Craig, agent of the Glasgow and New York Steamship Company, informs us that he has made arrangements with Mr. Dale to have the City of Washington, which leaves this port on Saturday, call at St. Johns, N.F., for the Edinburg’s passengers, taking them to Liverpool and forwarding to desti nation, as booked by him on that vessel. The cotton market was firm yesterday, though lesa ac. tive, as dealers were waiting the receipt of the Earopa’s news. The sales embraced about 600 bales, closing ¢teady at the recent advance, The receipts at the ports havenow teached, since the Ist of September last, 3,504,000 bales against 2,942,000 in 1858, 2,859,000 in 1857, and 3,405,000 in 1856. The exports have reached 2,707,000 bales against 2,204,000 im 1858, 2,040,000 in 1867, and 2,688,000 in 1856. The stock on hand amounted to 332,000 bales against 428,000 in 1858, 280,000 in 1857, and 262,000 in 1859. The flour market was less active, and closed with the turn in favor of purchasers. Wheat was legs buoyant and active, though prime to choice lots were held at full prices. A small lo} of new amber colored Georgia sold at $2, witha small lot of good Kentucky white at $1.95. Corn was heavy ani lower. Pork wag less firm, wile sales wore fair at $17 1234 for new mess, and prime at $16 a $15 12. Sa. gars were in fair demand, with sales of 600 hhds. and about 403 boxes at rates given in another column, Coffee was quiet; the stock of Rio was estimated at 49,127 bagay and the total of bags and mats of all kinds at 107,526, Freight engagements were moderate and rates unchanged. Lmportant from the European Seat of War— Decisive Actions at Palestro, By the arrival of the Europa at Halifax, with four days later news, we have some interesting intelligence from the seat of war. In the advices from the seat of war in Italy the most striking and important intelligence received by the Fulton bad reference to the movements of General Garibaldi. His successes in Lombardy, and his capture of Como, which resulted in the retreat of the Austrians towards Milan, was bril- liant and dashing in the extreme. Como de- clared for the cause of Italian independence, and the Austrians were said to have been defeated at Camerlata, and to be in full retreat towards Milan—Garibaldi at the same time being in pos- session of Camerlata and Lecco. Two days later advices, on the 30th of May, from Berne, through Germany, reported that Garibaldi had suffered a defeat, and had been driven back into the Swiss canton of Tessin, in which event his troops would probably have been disarmed by Switzerland in right ofher neutra- lity, as we learn the Austrian gensdarmes, who entered Swiss territory, had been a short time previous. The plan of operations which Gari- baldi laid down, we think, was to enter northern and northwestern Lombardy with his few thousand volunteer troops, calculating upon the neutral position of Switzerland protecting him from attack in that direction, and relying upon the revolutionary spirit of the Lombards to strengthen his force and resist the Austrians. We now learn that he did receive a check, and was driven back towards Lake Maggiore, but had again advanced and retaken Varese and Como. Most probably in this case, as at the battle of Montebello, the railroad, which enabled the French to pour in train after train of troops fresh on the battle-field, served the purposes of Austria, Camerlata is the terminus of the rail- road from Milan, and it appears that the Aus- trians, alarmed not alone at the bold movements of Garibaldi, but at the moral influence of his presence in Lombardy, pushed a strong force from the latter point, led by Field Marshal Ur- ban, who distinguished himself at Montebello. In the abeence of artillery and cavalry—for the Rowan leader had neither—he was not able to withstand the superior force of the Austrians. This is the second time daring the campaign that the influence of the telegraph and the railroad have been materially felt. We now learn that two severe engagements had taken place at Palestro, on the Sesia, near Vercelli, lately the headquarters of the Austrians, but now those of Louis Napoleon. The Austrians twice endeavored to take the place, but were re- pulsed by the division of General Cialdini, assisted by the Zouaves and encouraged by King Victor Emanuel in person, The Sardinian sccounts state that the enemy lost a great num- ber of men and several pieces of cannon; the Austrian accounts of the affair have not been published; and other advices say that the Sar- dinians were pretty well cut up. The point scems to have been hotly contested, both parties fighting gallantly. It is added, as a result of this defeat, that the Austrians retreated across the Ticino, and were pursued by the Sardinians into the territory of Lombardy. Louis Napoleon is announced as concentrating his forces at Vercelli. This movement brings him upon the extreme right of the Austrian forces and within springing distance of Milan, to the north of which Garibaldi is operatiug. Dy thls course he necessitates the falliag back of the left wing of the Austrians from Varsi aud Bob)’ D» and their concentration in the vicinity of the | capital of Lombardy for its defence. Thus it Would seem that the entire line of the Austrians | is being driven back, and the Allies preparing for their next advance movement, Meantime Francis Joseph had arrived at Verona, and is by this time at the head of his army. Louis Napo- leon is at Vercelli, #0 that the Sovereigns and Jeaders of the belligerent hosts may be said to be face to face, and some decisive action looked for before long. may be Kaysas—A Narrow Escarz.—Vue cans, it is reported, have elected a maj three over the democracy in the new Constitu- tional Convention, This is a narrow escape, and we hear of no border rufanism either. The late vieit of Greeley to “biceding Kansne,” it epabli- | sou thus appear, has not very materially j Hevathened “the cause of fecodom" i quarter. ot Tux News rnom Mexteo.—We have, by tele graph from New Orleans, some later and impor- tant news from the city of Mexico, Tt seems that the intrigues, of which our cor- respondent from the Mexican capital gave a full account some days since, culminated in an at- tempt on the part of the clergy to overthrow Miramop, who has hitherto been their Paladin, and replace Zuloaga, the initiator of the present revolution, The pronunciamiento was unsuccess- ful, and some of the priests are reported to have been sent to Vera Cruz, which is equivaleat to sending them out of the country, The expedi- tion under Marquez against the constitutionalists in Morelia had been repulsed in its attack on that city, but not till after it had committed great ravages in the town. Miramon has been issuing several curious decrees; among them he orders all goods imported through Vera Cruz to be confiscated; and his Secretary of State, Senor Bonilla, having graciously taken the resident Americans under bis protection since the British Minister refused to do so, has issued a circular announcing to the authorities that the individual Americans are not to be held responsible for the acts of President Buchanan. Meanwhile, out excellent Consul, Mr. Black, who has reaided for thirty years in Mexico, is obliged to flee to Vera Cruz to escape from the rabble of the army, from which Senor Bonilla cannot, or will not, protect him. This attempted revolution in the capital isa tignificant affair. Hitherto the struggle there has been between the people on one side, striving to reduce all classes to an equality before the Jaw, and the clergy and the army on the other, who made common cause in defence of their re- spective special privileges. The army placed Miramon in power, and he represented the cause of both the priest and the soldier. Under their compact the clergy were to supply the money and the army the muscle necessary to overthrow Juarez and the constitutionslists. They have now quarrelled, and new complications will grow out of the affair, But there is even a further significance in the movement. At our last accounts from Mexico Zuloaga was a refugee in the house of Mr. Ot- way, the British Minister. From there he car- ricd on his intrigues with the clergy, and it is but reasonable to suppose that Mr. Otway has been in some manner complicated with his move- ment. In this, the poor British Minister is pro- bably a victim more than a volunteer. A weak man himself, he waa married to a Spanish wo- man when Secretary of the British Legation at Madrid, and is supposed to be under her influence, She, brought up with all the ideas of the Spanish court, is constantly surrounded by a chapel cabinet of priests and monks, and these have made a useful tool of the British Le- gation in their effort to get rid of Miramon. We are not told what part Mons. Gabriac played in this movement, As he is fully imbued with cer- tain Napoleonic ideas, we presume he clings more to the army than to the clergy, gad that he has sided with Miramon. If this is the case, it is probable that the entente cordiale between the Bri- tish and French Legations in Mexico, which has s0 long sustained the cause of the rebellious priests, has at last been ruptured. It is to be hoped that the British government will now sce where its true interests and those of its subjects lie, and send a more capable man than Mr. Ot- way to sustain British ideas in Mexico. Isnovations 1s Mopern Warrare.—Louis Napoleon is charged with slavishly copying the military precedents of his uncle. We think that he will show, before he arrives at the end of his first campaign, that he is not without some mili- tary geniua of his own, Two acts which he has just performed indicate, we think, the indepen- dence of his judgment in military matters. He has sent back the wounded Austrians without exacting the usual parole, and he has punished two French grenadiers for forcibly helping them- selves in a wine shop, by simply dismissing them from the ranks, with the observation that no heavier penalty could be inflicted upon them than their being deprived of the opportunity of sharing in the glories of the campaign. There is practical military foreaight as well as humanity in these acts. The Emperor relieves himself of the burden attending the support of large numbers of Austrian prisoners, and he sends them back to convey to their comrades, who are of mixed and disaffected nationalities, an impression of bis humanity and generosity. In this way he advances the objects of the campa‘gn infinitely more than if he were to encumber Sardinian and French prisons with crowds of poor wounded wretches, the support of whom would be a heavy drain upon his re- sources, It is to be hoped that the example thus set will have the effect of inducing on both sides the relaxation of all the senseless practices of the military code, the retention of which in an age like this is as unnecessary as it is cruel. The introduction of moral punishments in the army has long found advocates. They have been partially tried in time of peace. It has been re- served for Louis Napoleon to make the experi- ment in the face of the enemy—a test which no military reformer has hitherto ventured upon. In the armies of Wellington, an offence such as these grenadiers committed would have been visited with the lash, and perhaps even death. We believe it will be found that the punishment inflicted in the present case will prove as effec- tive in enforcing discipline. The soldier is, after all, a sensitive being, and disgrace is felt more keenly by him than bodily pain. If he be not posseseed of this honorable suscep: tibility the sooner he is weeded out from the ranks of his comrades the better. In trusting, therefore, to moral influences rather than to seve- rity for the maintenance of military order, the Emperor ie making an experiment, the result of which will be watched with interest by the friends of humanity. He ecoms, in fact, to be developing in military career the game inde- pendent theories which have rendered his politi- onl system self-sustaining and obedient to his centrol, Tue Viroints Ex We find it reported opposition cit! toN~Go: Aneap— the newsp that the ens of Richmond, Virginia, pro- pose g Hon. William L. Goggin with a splendid carriage and span of horses, and to Mrz, Gogain a magnificent set of silver plate, in con- sideration, we suppose, of the splendid services of Mr. Goggin in the late gubernatorial canvass to the opposition cause in Virginia, At thig rate, had Mr. Goggin been elected he would probably have realized the wish of a late Irish patriot in the present of “en Alabama cotton Plantation, well stocked with good fut negroes,” As it is, those presents to Mr. and Mra, Goggin, of the carriage and horses and silver plate, will doubtiess exceed the nett profits to Mr. Letcher for four years to come of the Governor's office. And thus, after alt, i tho long run Goggin wil. { probably come out ahead, Avsraray Onvarrms ty Prepmonr.—The reall- tics of war are repulsive enough without in- vention being brought in afd of their barbarities, With the dispositioa which seems to exist to limit as mach as possible the severities incident to the operations of hostile armies, it is a pity that exaggeration should be enlarged to exaspe- rate the enmities already engaged. The object of such perversions is generally a political one, but it leads to results which their authors probably never counted upon. It tends to provoke re- prisals for imaginary severities, and to revive the cruelties of mediwval warfare, AH such attempts should be deprecated and their motive exposed. They can only have a short-lived existence in any case, and seeing the mischievous results with which they are attended, it would be well if respectable journals would employ corres- dents of unimpeachable character to verify their accuracy on the spot. But few persons at this side of the Atlantic sympathize with the course of Austria in regard to Italy. We look upon her conduct in that unhappy country as calling the fullest measure of retribution. Bad, h ever, as her policy may have been, the cause the oppressed gains nothing from the employ- ment of calumny and falsehood. The use of all such weapons is as impolitic asit is ethically wrong. They are likely to recoil upon those re- sorting to them, and to create a reaction in favor of those sgainst whom they are directed. After the Austrians entered Piedmont it will be recollected that rumors were at once circulat- ed of outrages and robbery having been every- where perpetrated by them. There is reason to believe that there was a great deal of exaggera- tion, if not of positive falsehood, in these state- ments, From inquiries made on the spot by the correspondents of journals whoee impartiality is above suspicion, it would seem that there was but emall foundation for any of these reports, and that wherever there was any cause for them it occurred in spite of the exertions of the Aus- trian commanders. We cannot of course vouch for the truth of these contradictions; but we are inclined to place faith in them from the fact that they come from. journals which are strongly op- posed to Austria. If they should turn out to be correct, we can only express our regret that the riends of Italy should think it necessary to re- sort to such expedients to help a cause which has justice and truth for its basis. Tue Arrican Stave Trae iN THE SovTu— Ayoruer Carco.—We clip the following from the Mobile Register of Thursday last:— There seems to bo but little doubt that 400 barbarian African slaves were landed on the Florida coast, not re mote from Mobile. The trade seems to be getting quite brisk. Before long the South will replace all the slaves the abolitionists have stolen from her during the last twenty years. The Yankee skippers will soon be skipping into this trade. It pays too brilliantly to leave it to the Lamars and Wanderers of the South. Just think of it, ye shriekers of Faneuil Hall, and ye Salem whalers! We surpect that this reported cargo “landed on the Florida coast” is all gammon. The fire- eating African slave trade politicians of the South, for political purposes, are somewhat given of late to blowing and gasconading. According to their representations we might conclude that along the Southern Gulf coast there are no longer any obstructions whatever to the importation of these “barbarian Africans;” that the late pro- ceedings of Southern juries on this subject have cleared the track, and that the administration at Washington is asleep. But we apprehend, never- theless, that it will be some time before the ex- periment of the Wanderer will be repeated, from a wholesome fear of naval cruisers ami revenue cutters, Meantime, concerning the landing of these aforesaid “400 barbarian African slaves” “on the Florida coast,” cannot the Mobile Reyis- ter give us a little definite information? We sup- pose that by this time the “barbarians,” if any, have been spirited away, so that there will be no longer any breach of confidence in the matter if the Register should report the facts of this suc- cessful landing ‘not remote from Mobile.” The honest witness does not shrink from a cross-ex- amination. Ovr Navat Forces iv Evropean Waters. — Now that the government have so wisely pro- vided against all entangling contingencies, by augmenting the equadron in the Gulf of Mexico, it would be well to look after the increase of our naval forces in the European waters, In the present aspect of European affairs it would be politic that our ships-of-war should be seen in the ports of the British Channel, the North Sea and the Baltic. Even the present state of things is likely to throw a good portion of the carrying trade into our hands, and should @ general war break out the peaceful pursuits of commerce will be thrown almost entirely under our flag. Ita security can be made permanent only by an exhibition of our power to defend it. The negligence and culpable carelessness of Congreea, in its neglect of the navy, have left the President bat a small force to meot the exi- gencies .of the situation with, and he can only be expected to do as well as possible with the means at his disposal. The sending of the emaller vessels to Mexico is a wise measure; let the larger ones now be gent into the European waters, We need an increase to the Mediter- ranean squadron, which now consists of the Wabach and the Macedonian only; and one of our clearest-headed, readiest and most ener- getic naval captains should be placed in com- mand there. It has already become the scene of active naval operations, and important questions may arise involving our ships and the security and honor of our flag. Why cannot some basis of arrangement aleo be made with France and England in regard to what articles shali be con- sidered contraband of war? France seoms to be actuated by sensible and jast motives in that question, and England, a8 a noa-belligerent, may surely come into some plaa fur the protec- tion of commerce. Whatever these three Powers agreed to would soon be admitted into the law of nations. Our merchants and shipowners are ina perfect quandary in regard to this subject now, £0 many conflicting opinions and state- ments are circulated. —_——__ ‘Tne New Crry Ixspecror—After endeavor ing by all possible means to make a bargain pro- fitable to themselves, whereby they could secure a portion of the spoils belonging to the City Inspector's office, and fuiling in that project, the Board of Aldermen have at length abandoned their opposition to the confirmation of a successor to Mr. Morton, and ratified at their Jast meeting the appointment of Daniel E. Delavan, It may be that the force of public opinion, and possibly the indignation of some of their constituents, became too strong to be any longer resisted. It is well, however, that we have got a City Inspector at last, and it o be hoped that we shall have clean ggfpets in future, which we think is very likely, for the new official iza very competent and efficient man for that purpose. Meantime the publig gwe but Uttle te 4y,° Aldermen. They went as-fitr as their own cous interests would permit to expose the city, to the ho tr8 of pestilence, Tux Crorg ‘8? TUR WeaTaer.—The wupro- pitious weather m. 4 severe frosts which have characterized the sprin,” 0d carly summer sea- sons this year gave rise ‘9 some anticipation that the crops would suffer theifrom very ma- terially; but the inauguration of a goauine warm spell yesterday will dispel many of the fears on that head. It is not likely that any portion of the crops further than that actually destroyed befpre—and that portion we take to be amall— will be lost, but, on the contrary, will revivify under the genial influence of the present warm weather; 80 that the croaker’s occupation may be considered gone for the present. In view of the fact that nearly six millions of men in the Old World have been withdrawn from agricultural and industrial pursuits by the European war, , Moreover, are actually de- solating many of the productive fields of the pent, like the Huns of Attila, who left not le of grass behind them, it is undoubtedly atter of grave importance to this country that we should have an abundant crop of grain this year, while a short crop should be consider- ed in the light of a great calamity. But in our opinion there is no reason to suppose that our crop will not prove an average one, at least, if not more abundant than usual. Tureen Arersatives.—A writer of the Charleston Mercury says, that at that place in 1860, “the South must either determine to keep out of the Convention, and elsewhere nominate a candidate of its own, or to swallow Douglas’ squatter sovereignty views, or break up the Con- vention in a row.” Now, the question arises, which of these three alternatives will be adopted ? Remembering the Van Buren movement at Bal- timore of 1848, and the wider and deeper ditches and quegmires which now separate our Northern democracy from their Southern brethren, we fear tbat between the Southern fire-eaters and the squatter sovereignty Douglas democracy, they will “break up the Convention in a row.” On both sides they appear to be ready and will- ing, and “ where there is a will there is a way.” We would admonish our New York democracy, therefore, in reference to the mode and time of appointing their delegates to Charleston, to keep cool. The game may not be worth the candle. IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO, Naw Onzzans, Juno 13, 1859. Important news from Mexico is to hand, Miramon ig reported to have suppressed a pronuncia- miento by the priests in favor of Zuloags, at the capital, on the 23d ult. The church tried Miramon, but the padres were arrested and sent to Vora Cruz. The liberals were encouraged. The Marquez expedition against Morelia had been driven back, but not until the town had been ravaged and the women stripped naked and whipped in the effort to make them point out the hidden treasure, The Americans and other foreigners suffered much loss. Miramon had decreed the importations at Vera Cruz confiscated, and modified the ad valorem dutios. Mr. Lane was at Vera Cruz on the 30th. Miramon is reported to havo been at Jalapa with 250 men. {Our despatch is not clear on this point.] Senor Bonilla issued a decree on the 26th, in which he says that Mr. Buchanan's recognition of the Jaarez party ig not responsible, and that Americans are not accounta- ble for his acts, Consul Black was reported to be gone to Vera Cruz, for safety from the rabbie of the army Gen. Cobas is reported at Onjaca; and private parties sdvige people not to cross the Isthmas of Tehuantepec. Zaloaga is reported to have been imprisoned by Mira- mon, INTERESTING FROM WASHINGTON. Despatches to the State Department from Chile, Peru and Venezucla—Settiement of the Indian Diffieulties on the Pacific, &c. OUR SPECIAL DESPATCH. Wasiineton, June 14, 1869. The State Department received this morning yoluml- nous despatches from our Ministers at Chile, Peru and Venezuela, Tbe revolution in Chile, which has exiated for some time, and had been carried on with great auimation and vigor, and which was likely to be very protracted, is firally atanend, Its announcement, our Minister states, was hailed with joy by the pcoplo, who have suffered im mense logees by these intestine feuds. Nothing of special interest has occurred at Peru. The condition of affairs there was rather encouraging than otherwise. In regard to Venezuela, the revyolutionists were still ac- tively engaged endeavoring to overthrow the present dominant party. Our government have, after long nego tiation, eettied and adjusted the existing difficulties be- tween the two governments.
