The Eaperor writes to the Em- press from the chamber which the Emperor of austria ‘bad occupied the bight before the battle, He has prigoa- ere,canpon and flags, and his positions are advanced. We bave, too, the Aushrinn telegraph, and by it the Au trians mapfully ackoowledge a defeat, for they have with- drawn behind the Muncio. As yet we know not whut is the actual joss of busnan fife. Oae would suppose it to bave been awfal. At Watorloo there was not half tbe mamber of men engag: At Magenta 16,000 souls were sept into eternity. We could hardly be wroag, one mould sup; , in considering &hat between forty and fitty thon Sand toen were placed hors de combat. Yet, to oar sur- prise, we learn that the actual joss of the eaemy in the field was triflig, and that of the French still less. No general officer is reported to have fatien. Thirty cannon and 1,600 prieovers are no great resuite for a combat in which so wany men were eogaged. fhe bi would ap- pear to have beea won chiefly by skilful of fortunate tac- tige. The Austrians fell back in good order behind the Mincio, blowing up the bridge of Golto. here was no confusion or disorder in weir ranks, and they seem, from the duration of the combat, to have resisted stoutly. They bad everything which could induce men to Agbt with courage and reeolution. Their Emperor was amongst them—tbeir moat famous generals directed thelr move- ments—the batile field was familiar to them as the scene of their autumnal mancenvree. Tney have fought, no doubt, bravely, and have inflicted commensurate loss up- on the foe; still they bave retreated, aad another is added 40 the list of French victories. The Austriaus, according to the Vienna report, were the aesailanis; they moved forward from ibe Mincio, probably by Borghetto, towards the Chiee, the litve lake of Solferioo on the right, the hilie of piece the left, sopsteaipabeg Cavrians in the centre. lere they met tae Fi coming, as they say, in superior force, from Monte Chiaro. As al Magenta, We most Ban- guinary combat took piace in the town; but towards night. fall tbe Austrians were driven out, and retreated across the Mincio. If it bo true that the French have crossed in porenit, they are between Peachicra and Mantua, and ‘within the fumed quadrangle. A few days will inform as nether Austria will hazard another throw upon the field, or whether she will retire within her fortresees, aad await the effects of an unbealthy climate upon the allied arms. [From the Cork Constitution, June 30.} A Paris letcor gives a few details of the first great battle jo liaiy. Geperai Kiel, with thirty-five thousand men and two divisions of cavairy, in all about fifty thousand, were epgaged bil four P. M., when he succeeded in forcing the Austrian centre after twelve bours’ fighting. Toe Aus- triaps bad brought up their reserves of eighty thousand, and the Allies theirs of fifty thousand, It was a moet critieal moment. Three hours more, and the general | Hphting ended to tho advantage of the Allies. The Zousves are said © be much cut up, and the let Chasseurs of Al. geria terribiy treated. Four Generais were wounded and | one kuled. Foarteen thousand beds have beea com. mauced at Milan for wounded, ihe reason why the Austrians crossed the Mincio to fight is attributed to ihe suggestion of the Priace of i’russia, whosaid if they gained the battle the intervention of Peaesia Would not de needed, if the Allies foliowed the Avuswikos acrogs the water that would alter the question. | Phe Frenco government coves not appear alarmed at cho caitary mevemeaie ot Prussia, The garrisons on the en- Ure frontier Dave pot been reinforced.

Petersburg for Ital, eaid to be bearer of an autograph letver from the Czur to the Emperor Napoleon. {from the London News, June 27 The second great battle against the Austrian powor in Ttaly has been fought, and w second time tac Austrisus have been utterly defeated. At Magenta the victory was in some respect due to the incompetency of Gyulai—at Solferino tne Austrian army fought nobly under the eye ‘of Francis Joseph himsolf, but was unable to resist whe overwhelming prowess of the Allies. We have betore observed that this battle would test tne courage and en- durance of the rank and file in either host, and the event | proves that our prediction was not erroneous. It is abun- dently clear that the Austrians were thoroughly pre- pared, for they themselves began the attack; and it is equally cloar that an army wh:ch continued the strug- gle from four o’ciock tn tne morning until eight o'clock in the evening bas not oly been well handled, put has fought with determined courage. So confident was Aus- tria. in her military position that only a few hours before the bottle began her emisiaries solicited tie neutial Powers to ab- stain from wnterfering with the progress of the campaign. Aod no Goubt the enormous preparation which they had made, and the unquestioned abtlity of their military of- ficera, toa certain dogree justified this confidence.” But the physical superiority of the allies, and that spirit of entpusiasm “which @ just cause alone can inspire, out- weighed every advantage, Tuo grand details—even the | paw of the battle—are still unknown, But thus much is clear: the Austrians themselves recroased the river Mincio, choge their own ground, and advances to the attack, ibey mupt, therefore, buve been contident of euccess, and they certainly fought with persevering courage. ‘Their line of battle occupied fifteen miles. They must, therefore, have bad an enormousarmy. But their losses, they themseiycs say, ‘were exiracrdwarily hosvy’’—at tne close of the day” they retired behind the Mincio, aad the French Emperor Slept in the very room which the Austrian Emperor had ‘enpied the seme morning, Asguredly it is difficult to imagine & greater defeat or a more important victory. The vitality of Austria ts proverbial; but, after Magenta And Soiterino, the return of the Avstrian Kmperor to Mi- lan, or his continued presence on the south side of the Isonso—the true downdary between Italy and Germany — ought to be considered hopeless. If the Allies consent to treat for peace, it must be on this bas!s—that the Aggiriany At once retire beyond that natu i Had the super: subtic Metternion lived afew weeks longer be might per- haps bave beguy to suspect that Ttaly is something more than “a geographical expression.” Imperfect as the accounts of tho battle of Soiferino stil are, it would be idie to attempt apy detailed description o the epgagement. But its general features and the princi. ples which determined tho austria to doliver it are not, hard to conjecture, {ne serious danger to which the” Allied army must havo been exposed in attempting 10 crogs the Mincio between Veschiera and Maniua—a dia- taco of twenty miles—in the faco ofa hostile army exceed ig 200,000 men, has been already pointed out in these columns, 3 was probabdlo, therefore, that the Frencon Emperor would wait until the army about to be landed near Venice and the forces of Pringe Napoleon had come up, #0 a8 to threaten the rear and lefé flank of tho Aus. trian army. Ja the meantime, it was the obvious duty of the Aliies to wait pationtly until their flank atiack was organizod and on the point of ay executed, If tho Avstrians stood fast on the loft bank of the Mncio until this attack was dovoloped they would be exposed to a double assault; if they did not stand fust, but retreated to Verona, they would domoralizs their army und sacrifice the whole of Venotia—perhaps evoa cause the surrender of tbeir whole army, which might he blocked up in Verona by the biockiog up of the northern” road to Trent, and the eastern roaito Viconzs. [a short, if the Austrians were to fight at all, it were better that they should fight before the Allies had received the retn- forcement of 40,060 men from the sido of Venice aud aa mady more from Tuacany.

Even at this moment the military poxttioa in tcarcely changed; for we have as yet mo reason t2 con- clude that the French have advanced far in purauis of their enemy. Toe Aastriaa is where he was in the early part of last week, with this exception, that he hee suifor- ed s defeat, lost several thousand men, a certain number of flags and cannon, aud that his military prestige is iowor- ed in proportion to his lores.

Meactime, the Austrians are ther own country, cioee to their own fortresses, within euty reach ‘of their own resources. The French, on the otner band, must pay in cash for everything they require.

When we consider that, azcording to tae Emperor's iirst account, the whvle Austrian army was on the fleld, and that the battle lasted sixteen hours—from four in the morning till eight in the evening—and that the two Emperors were present, wo may ve certain that it was very great.

Prince Volkoneky bas read to me a despatch addressed to bim by Prince Gortechakoff, for the purpose of setting forth the attitude of the Imperial government in presence of the complications which Dave arisen in Italy, sud of the war which has resulted therefrom, as a'so the manrer in which the Cabinet of St. Eouarssare, thinks right to jadge the postion of the governments of Germany in the midst of these events. Tho King’s government, placing evtire confidence in the noble and elevated sentiments of His Majesty the Em- Peror of all the Russias, has no doubt as to the benevolent end equitabie character of the dispositions by which the government of His Imy Majesty is animated towards Germany and the different governments of the Germanic Confederation; it is therefore with gratitude that we have received this 1 communication, and 1 beg of you, sir, 0 express it to Prince Gortschagoff ‘We think that we shal! give the Imperial government the best proof of the sincerity of these sentiments by re Piping with equal frankness to the differens observations ‘which bave been made to us. ‘The despatch of Prince Gortechakoff consis's of twe distinct parte. The first, which is retrospective, paswes in review the negouations which preceded the commencement of hostilities, and recatis to mind the Congrees proj by Russie to prevent them; the second, which occupies iteelf with the present and the future, states tne views of the Imperial govervment as to the task now reserved to the Germanic Coxfederaion. As to the firet part, Prince Gortschakoff will know how to appreciate the corsiderations which induce us to ment fest a certain reserve on entering on the subject. He wii) not congider aGerman government less excursbie for per- mitting iteelf not to sbare the revere jaigment passed on the conduct of the Austrian government, which, according to the despstch of Prince Gortschakofl, is alone rewpon- mbie for tne calamities of the war. The Kiog’s govern- ment at the time aid full justice to the efforis made by the St. Petersburg Cabinet to prevent those caiamties by meats of a European Congress; but, unless we fail in the doty of impartiality towards a confederste government, it would be iwposeible for ns to dweil on the epuode GF a Congress which was a mere phase, and mot on the civcum, stones which preceded and brought ‘about the war.

Toe cespatch of the Mivister of Foreign Affaire ex preesea regret on the subject of the excivement which pre ‘vatie in some ports of Germany; it expresses the fear tha this agitation arises from ® mirundersiauding, ad toa mieuvderetundivg it sees in the teudenoy Of noau States of ibe Germanic Contederstion to occupy toemseives wih ac imagivary canger, and 10 cange real Once to arise from ‘+, not only by not resisting passione the developement of # hich may place in peril the eecurity and internul force of gor etnocnts, but by giving ceriour grievances to a veighbo: ing and powerful State at the very moment at which it makes reaseuritg dec aration. Dhere is erdently @ misuncrstanding,, but i sidecf the German grvernments that we must sexk: for it. Prince Gortechakofl is kind enough t recindgos further connected overn aients, exclosively cefenaive, and that if is werd now to engage in acts hostile to France it would taisify the onjects of 1s in- etituilon, and disregard the epirit of the treaties whica have congearated its existence. Oo this subject we must make @ glignt reserve. Without siopping to examise to whst extent the word comination can be applied to a union of jadepencent Statcs recognized as iodissolablo, and counting among its members two great Earopeau Powers, we will permit ourselyee to remark that, though the German Coufedoration, by is organization, has a charac ter princrpally and essentially defensive, it cannot be pretend- ed that it ts a combination exclusively defensive. Tne wreaties on the basis of which it entered into the public European Jaw—I use very words of Prince Gortschakoff— and to which Russia has attached her siguature, | admit that it bas the right of peace avd war. The German States have always shown themselves very apxious to conform to the fundamental laws of the Confederation, but for that very reason they are entitled to maintain that thore laws aball be preserved intact. We, however, beg Prince Gortschakoff not to lose eight of this fact, that in our opinion there is no intention of disregarding thiz defensive character encclience, nor of abendoning the circle of the defensive dispositions of the fundamental laws. Article 47 of the Final Act of Vienna, which has latterly been so often referred to that it is not necessary to cite the text, bas foreseen the eventuality which is now a fuit accompli; and in order that the German governments may prepare to fulfil the duties it imposes on them, thoy security, por occupy themselves with a danger to come. We may, besides, here state that the Confederation has not yet taken the decisions which excite the silicitude of Prince Gortschakoff, and inspire him with fears fur the solidity of our internat situation: but, far from raising @ question os opportunses, we prefer to give him an additional proof of our confidence In the friendly dispositions of the imperial govern- ment by accepting an anticipated discussion, ‘This 1 Lov the firet time that the Diet of Frankfort haz been called on to digenes the extent of the fecerai obliga- tious of Germany to the two great Powers waich form part of (he Confederation. It is not without utility to ro- cali precedents of a very recent date; they will prove in what manner its defensive character bas hituerto been basis of which Gerinany entered into pubtis Encopesn law, Some year ago Ruesia, owing to a difference witn uno Ottoman empire, caused her troops to occupy the Danaotaa Principalities. The intervention of the ‘great Powers haying for its object to bring about an uncerstanaing re- mained frnitiess, in consequence of the refusal ot the Ott» man Sorte to accept purely and eimply the arbitration of Rvesia. She had for allies Eogiand and France, at that tia and Prussia, took a resolutton that any act of aggression against thenon German possessions ef Austria ond Prassia should be considered cx equivalent (oan attack on ihe federal | territory. and when some montns after the Austrian troops occupied the Danubian Principalsties, ta Cmfederation ain- plified the said resolution to the effect that an attack on that armed force, tohich was riot only out of the federal but even the Austrian territory, should be considered as an aggression agoinst the Confederation. iam bot aware that these decisions drew forth or remoustrances from Paris or Londen, or eves from St. Petersburg; and yet the imperial government of Russia would certainly have found cause for opposing them if the attitude of the Confederation had been contrary to treaties. But it the Confederation then remained within the Hmits of ita rights suu ite duties, why soould it now falsify the object of {ts institution, and disregard the spirit of treaties, by taking similar reaoiutions? Or is there no be- tween present Circumstances and those which then ex- isted? There is, in truth, @ difference to be noted. In 1864 the Confeneration had in view the eventualtty of an agoression coming yrom the East, and it now turns its re- towards tha West. Butat that epoch the toterven- tion of the Diet was not preceded by any act or demon. stration tending to menace the Austrian or Prussian ter- ritory; but now, on the contrary, the intervention has not bs] taken place, but the Austrian Territory is already in- ed yaded. Will it be objected to us a St. Petersburg that at that epoch Germany bad more to dread from Russia than she now Dus from France? The despatch of Prince Gortscha- koil reminds of that the French government bas solemaly prociatmed that it has po hostile intention towards Ger- many. It @} tuo same time Informe us that this dectwration was received wh ready assent by the majority of the great Powers. We, however, remember a manifesto prockatming the intention of delivering Katy from the Alps to the Adm atic. Has this declaration also obtained the ready ascent of PRICE TWO CENTS. The despatch of Prince Gortachakoffstates once more the ipteniion of the imperial government to watoh over th: maintepance of the Evropean equilibrium.

To the governments she bas said that we were re. commencing the work of the Revolution; that we were Bgain Conetituting Ourselves its ardent aposties, and that ‘we should not hesitate at a given moment to excite the populations against their monarchs. Sne has made an ap. peal to all crowned heads, and pretended that ail ought to fact together, because all were menaced.

According to her, we threaten property, and are preparing to carry mourning and incenciariem to tbe homes both of rich and poor. To all Avstria has been prodigal of promises, with the reserve, of couree, of keeping them as she kept those of 1815. She bas gone etill furtuer, as, while accusing us of desiring to recommence the era of conquests, ebe bas not hesitated to excite the old ambition of Germany—to preach up a crusade en masse against France—to silirm that she ougut to be invaded and dismembered, and that Aleace, Lorraine end Flanders ought to be taken from This iasensate declamation, it muat be admitved, succeeded for a ume. ‘The governments of geome of the petty states, thirstiog Sor epoil, employed all means to lead their populations into that fatal path.
