Vive v, 1 EVACUATION OF LONATO BY THE AUSTRIANS—GEN. ZOBEL’S REASONS FOR LEAVING. BLonato (June 28) correspondence of Galignani’s Mes- senger. At seven this morning I anes at Lonato. It is incon- ceivable that a position of such importance, and one which could have been so easily defended, should have been abandoned. fbe retreat from Oastenedolo and from Montecbiari bad excited general surprise. Generale Schlick and Zobel were of opinion that those sitions, in which the Austrians hed entrenched the: ves, should be defended, when the Emperor of Austria, accompanied by General Hess, came to examine tem. ‘the result of the visit was that orders were given to evacuate thom, and continue the retreat. At Lonato the Austrians bad mude extensive preparations for defence; they bad cut the railway brioge across the Chiese, and thrown down two fine rows of trees forming on either sido an avenue leading into the town. Lonxto stands on the top of a high hill, and commands on one side the whole of the plain, and on tho other the Lake of Garda. The town is surmounted by an old castle in ruins, and surrounded by ramparts half demolished, and the approach ia so ateep that it would have been ex- tremely difficult to have gained possession. The Austri- ans, about 36,000 to 40,000 sirong, had established form- dable batteries, which would have swept every road lead- ing to it from Ca‘cipato, Montechiari and Castiglione.» The taking of this formidable position would perbaps have oc- cupied the Allies some time, and under any circumatances Would have cost anumper of lives.

Oa the left wing the Third snd Ninth corps were fighting firmiy, supported by the Eleventh. The cava®y of re- serve, Col'eoted on this wing, executed several charg with grest bravery, but exceedingly heavy losses and tt Circumstance that, on the left wiog, the firet army, in cons quesce of an enormous display.of French troops, bad been stopped in its attack against tho lett wing of the Allies, who with the bulk of their forces were advauciog on ibe cenite from the neighborhood of Voita, forced che Austrian army to retreat, which movement commone+d et an advanced hour of tue evening, ia the midst of a tre- mepdous storm. Yesterday, during the oight, Pozzolen- go, Mozambano, Volta and Goito were still occupied by the austrian troops. General Urban, who, both in the Hungarian campaiga and ip these latter limes, dissinguianed himecif ea aieaier of flymg corps, having been apporied to the command s tbe fortress of Verona, has already eatered on hia functions. [From the Ost Deutsche Post of Vienna, June 27.] Count Wimpilrn’s corps, forming the left wing, tad at first before ib the Piedmontese; Count Stadion’s, in the centre, part of the French; ana Count Schlick’s, on the right, the rest of the French. The too great length of t! Austrian Jin, it would seem, determined the enemy t> concentrate their forces for au attack on the centro, and they attempted the same movement which Napoieon had practised at the battle of Aspern, that ig to say,to break the live, and then fail on the two wings. That plan suc. ceded im part; the concentrated shock, directea by the French with all their forces against our ceatre, could not at length be suppoited, and that part of the Austrian ermy wes forced to give way, and to recroes the Mincio. The French were then adie to turn against Count Winpilcn’s corps, which bad advanced ratuer tar in driv- ing back tbe Piedmontese, and to deliver Victor Emancel from the forces which were overpowering him, Tne same Superior force which had constrained the Austrians to ra- treat, thus fell on the left wing, all whose firmness could not repulse the enemy, dashing onwards on every side, and having crowned ail the beigots with a terrible artilie- ry. Under the protection of the cavalry of ryserve (Couat Mensdorf) , who sacrificed themselves in reiterated ciarges, ‘the lett wing also effected its retreat. The maawuvre of the French against the right wing did not prove equally decis ve, and if Count Schick retreated in his tarn it was of bis own accord, and solely not to lose hig communica- tion with the main army, THE ENGLISH ACCOUNTS. {Paris (June 2v) correspondence of the London News.] Notwitostsnding the great satisfaction felt at the news in the Montcur that the Freach army is crorsing the Min- cio whhout reaistauce, the paucity of tne details given by the offici«l jourmai about tbe battle of Solferino occssions im the public mind an impatience for further tatelligence which perhaps is more iatenee than reasonable. No doubt the general views of the French goverument with regard to pubdjicity are open to exception. But in this Particular instance the success of the French arms, as a1- mitted by the Austrian buileting, was 80 decided that there cao scarcely be any lending facts relating to the battle which the French wovld care toconceal. It shoula be remembered tbat the Emperor is his own reporter. ‘The aketch of the batile given in the Moniteur to-day must be coneidered ae his representation to the Empress Of those broad outlines which were principally impregs- ed upon his own mind at the concivsion of the combat, and before he became acquainted with those details which he can only know from the reports of his marshais spd generals. On the occasion of the battle of Magenta tbe Cagualties on the side of the conquerors turned out to be much more numerous than the Emperor hed sup- posed them to be at first. It is therefore very natural \bat, in order not tobe obliged to correct his estimates a few days later, his Majesty sbould abstain for the pre- sent from givig figures The reason for withholding the pames of the generals wounded ts not 60 apparent. It was reported in several salons last evening that Genera) Auger bad died of his wound. This brilliant artil- Jery officer was at one time a@ poiltical friend of Colonel Charras, and an ardent republican, He did not imme- diately rally to the coup @éaz, but he thought it his duty to recognise the popuiar vate of December 20, 1861, which conferred upon Louls Nepoleon the mastership of France. Beaices the three generals mentioned by the semi official papers, it is stated by the Independance, protessing to speak on the authority of despatches sent to relatives, that Generale Vailiavt and Douay were also wounded at Sol- ferino. It is cofmunicated to the Patrie that the Duke d’Abrentés, the head of General Failly’a staff (Niel’s corps), Was severely wounded, but he is doing well. Count de Larochefoucault, of the Third Cnasseurs d’ Af- rique—o wet! known member of the Paris Jockey Clab— riding too far before his men, was surrounded and made prisoner. ‘ne same fate,asI hear, befel the Count de Gramont. - A Turin despatch says that the Sardinian losses at Sol- ferino wore very heavy, and mentions among the killed Generale Moilard, Perrier and Arna) jolonels Beretta and Pernot, ond Captain Pailavicini, of the bersaglieri. General Fanii’s division greatly distinguiabed iteeif. It is said to be & peculiarity of the Emperor that on the field of butte he never puts bis horse out of a walk. I hear tbat ina letter tothe Emprees he mentioned that thir was his babit, in order that he might be able to re- matu on horseback tor a very long time without feeling fatigue.

Ifyou are 0 pleased, be ai Jesst a little decent.” These words were reiated to me textually by the mas- ter of the café, who understood German, and who wrote them down that he might not forget them. The officers were not very well pleased, and were silent. Tbe moment after, a colonel ot a cavalry regiment who had been charged to make a recon- nowssance on the Calcianato road entered the cafe to Teport to the General the resuit of his mission. He stated that he bad just met the advanced guard of the Piedmontere army marching on Lonato, “And you at- tacked them?’ said Zobei eagerly. “No, General,” re- plied the Colonel. “That is inconceivable,” said Zobel, rovgbly; ‘the sight of the enemy, therefore, petrided you.” “General,” replied the colonel firmly, “the Pied- Montese were at least five times more numerons, ana [ thought it better not to sacrifice my men neelessly..” Zo- bel mae no further remark, but placed hia elbow on the table, bis chin on his hand, and closed bis eyes, as thouga he did pot wish to de distarbed in nis reflectioas.

(From the Paris Debats, June 29. The Austrian bulictin of this memorable day from Ve- rona does not dispute the victory; on the contrary, it avows the defeat completely. It confesses to considerable logget, to the imposaibility of regaining positions, to a de- cistve movement on the part of the French on Volta, and to the necessity for retreat. Tois is as much as could be expected from the veracity of an adversary, who moreover appears to have sbown great energy,’ and whose admissions are in accord with the statements in the French bulletins. The retreat spoken of does not ap- pear to have been a rout; the vanguished haye not been pursued. In comparing the Austrian aad French bullet ing of the battle we only see in them ove difference—if diffe. rence it can be called—that whilet we give to it the name of the vtctory of Soiferino, because it waa doubtless at that place thai the Fronch had to make the greatest ef. torts, the Austrians on their side speak of the defeat of Volta. because it was there that the decisive blow was Struck, which compelled them to abandon tue fisid of bat. tle. “Looking at this ex'rgordinary movement of reerous- ing the Mincio after having abandoned the right bank, we Can only attribute is to a feeling of self-love on the part le, ai Of the Emperor of Austria.

The Emperor of the French is said to haye passed the night of tne 24th in the village of Cayriana, and in the evening of that day the right wing of the Au trian army was icaning on Pozzolengo in the west and Monzsmoano in the east, with Peschiera in its rear, The centre of the army was formed of First and Fifth corps d’armee, with the Seventh corps a8 a reserve, and it must be supposed that the attempt made by the French to break through is nearly succeeded. The fact of the Austrians bavipg been in Volta aod Goito in the evoning of the 24th is, however, proof positive that the success of the French was not complete. After having attacked the centre and forced it to fall back, the French directed thetr main force agaist the lett wing of the Austrian army, ‘which appears not to bave played any great part in tne Bederal action avtil the afternooa.

Now she endeavors to incite Germany and Prussia in ber cause. As tous, for the sake of humanity, we sincerely desire that she will not succeed, for it she should acquire power- ful allies, she might also make more powerful enemies at the same time, and Europe would then be inundated with Dicod.

Upon the receipt of your ;iordehip’s despatch of the 12tn ult., I took an early pb pttigere of putting Prince Gortechakoff in possession of the views and opimioas ot her Majesty's governmont in regard to the unsatisfactory state of the relations between France and Austria as made known to me by that despatch and its enclosures, Ihave bad several conversations with his &xcellency upon this subject, both before and after I had received your lordship’s official instractions. After making bis Excellency fully acquainted with the motives and considerations which bave induced ner Ma- jesty’s government to address the governments of Frauce, Austria and Sardinia at the present conjunctura, I told his Excellency that your fordship, putting confideace in the declara ‘ions he had made to me of his constant desire to e maintain the peace of Europe, had directed me to ascer. tain bow far the Russian government would be disposed to assitt England in recommending prudence and temper to thoze governments, verpment, I The policy of ber Majesty’s go- aid, was simoly the preservation of peace intenance of the treaties now in force; and government trusted that Russia, laying aside any feeling, favorable or unfavorable, which ane might entertain towards ef'her of the two great Powers in queetion, would join England in effecting an object which it ig the interest of all to secure. Prince Gortschakoff listened with attention to all the observations which I ventured to offer to bim on this sub. ject, and reniied to the following effect: — You bave certainly not misrepresented me fm your goverpment that I wish tosee peace Gysites peace, and even requires I, ror the devel Uy rked that you used the pi afte alt fecting, favorable or unfavorable, Yo thes, and should be dep ‘the: were I to allow you to suppose that we coul ves im any course of action in ‘abd austria is tne mane baltuse, Our celaiog 08 ame i. oe peeve! ea beets 5 it of them) result from an entire” obange of Ausiisn government, sud of ‘S change I nee neither tne commencement nor the proba Prince Gortschakoff then proceeded at some length to enumerate the grievances of which Russia concedes she has reason to compiain on the part of Austria; but as your lordsbip ia doubters well acquainted with these it would serve no good purpose to record them hore.

Although ber Majesty’s goveroment were of opinion that the reewlts of the communications which Lord Cow. wy beld with the Court of Vienna might have enabled them, by the exertion of their separate snd unaided good officer, to reconcile the conflicting intereste and wishes of the parties more immediately engaged in Italian affairs, they pevertheices yielded without hesitation to the invita tion of Russia, and agreed to take part in the joint inter vention proposed by that Power. Her Mojesty’s government bad no direct interest at* Bteke; but, as common friends and allies of ali parties, they were anxious to contribute, as far as possible, bese avitmosities, (o reconcile differences, to diearm upd to establish on a firm and permanent baeis the peace acd trapquiility of Italy. They bave eprunk from x0 toil, and they bave sasred no e consistent with the vations! honor of England to effect these objects; while, in tbe united action of Russia and Great Britain for objects. 80 beneficent, they saw an additional proof and pleage of the entire re establishment of friendly relatious between these two empires. ‘ Bot alt bas been to no purpose, and her Majesty’s go- verpment are reluctantly compelled, in deep discoursge- ment, to abandon all further ope of averting from Europe mities which threaten ber. In such a state of things her Majesty’s ernment can only be guided by what 1s due to the dignity of tbe British empire, and those prescribe to them the obligation ot etanaing aloof ‘and of ceasing to their efforts to stay the exci passions of antagonistic nstions. But jf, in the course of events, theee feelings should subside, and the contending parties will allow reason to resume her sway, and they evince a desire to have recourse to the offices of & friendly Power for the reconciliation of t! differences, the British government will always be found at its post as & friend of humanity, and as ap ardent promoter of peace. Looking, however, to the resnits of the late attempts to settle there matters by an European Congress, and to the difficulties and disappointments with which they have fo ineffectually struggled, her Msjeaty’e government can- not anticipate that apy state of things should arise which would now induce them again to listen to a proposal to take part ip such an assembly, Her Majcsty’s government believe that if their good offices are hereafter requested, their single action would be more likely to contribute to the restoration ot peace thap a complicated negotiation in which other Powers, thovgh equally sincere and anxious with themselves, should be called upon to participate. You will read this dispatch to Prince Gortachakof, aud give his Excellency a copy of it. MALMESBURY.

J. CRAMPTON. Forgian Orrice, April 29, 1859. Sm—It appears, from your despatch of yesterday after- noon, that Prince Gorischakoff expressed something like surprise at tbe attempt making by Her Majesty’s govern- ment, by their single interference, to prevent the inter- ruption of peace. ‘ou may gay, in reply, tbat having formerly renonaced separate action when combined action was pro; to them, her Majesty’s government cannot be sapposet to have any special preuilection for the former; bat whes, as it has turned out to be the cage, combined action did more barm than good, ber Majcsty’s government cannot think that they lay themselves justty open to remark for ing to 8 course of separate action, to which, though they always considered it would nave beeu more They 10 lead to good result, they bave proved thut they had no wish pertinacious'y to adbere. As matters stand, however, there is no likelihood of inducing the contending parties to have recourse te media- tion before trying the chances of war. You will not, however, disguise trom Prince Gortecha- Koff that the report of an alliance bavieg been concluded between France and Russia, which will bring the latter into the field against Austria within a few days, has made @ very unfavorable impreasion in this country; and it is of the utmost importance, if no suca alliance has been en- tered into, that you should be formally and officially en- abled by Prince Gortschakoff to deny its existence. MALMESBURY. AFFAIRS IN ROME. CARDINAL ANTONBLLI ON THE REVOLUTION IN THE URGATIONS—LOSSES BY AMERICANS. — (June 25) correspondence of the London Post. } fore proceeding vt et armis to reduce his revolved Subjects to their customary allegiance, the Pope caused the following note, dated June 15, to be drawn up by the Cardinal Secretary of State for distribution amoages the foreign representatives accredited to tue Court of Rome:— It is by this time known how, after the rebellion in the Deighboring State of Tuscany, more vigor was dis. played in the intrigues which for gome time agitated Bologna, where a revolutionary club had been preparing a movement which was known of and urged on by foreign influence. On the departure of the Austrian troops, which took piace on ‘the night of the 12th inst., the occasion was seized to raise the conflagration. fhe first signais were*seditions caies, people in arms. tri colored flags and cockades. Crowds arsembied before the Legate’s palace, fad took cown tne Pontifical arma in spite of the disapprobatiou of the good, which was drowned by the cries of the factious. In the midat of this popular tumult, a de- ogee selected from amongst the erg re. is, in the name of the people of Bologna, boldly manifested to the most eminent Cardinal Legate that it bad been resolved to confer the dictatorship on King Victor Emanuel, and to participate in the war of independ- ence. The Pontifical authority being thus outraged, the Legate, in the presence of those who surrounded him, solemnly protested against such acts of violence, and witharew to Ferrara, after having consigned another pro- sest in writing, This example of felony was soon follow: ed, and almost in the seme manner, by Ravenna and its province, and likewise by Perugia, through the arts and instigations of other notorious men; nor did refrain from using the most subtle arts and éfficacious means, backed by soreign influence, to induce by degrees other provinces aleo, aithough every endeavor was made by the govern. ment to arrest the torrent by the aid of its own troops, who bave remained faithful. Such events taking place under the eyes and to the horror of all, cannot but fill with bitterness the paternal mind of his Holiness, who bas seen with what fraudulent and i aria it bas been, and still is, tried to detach from bis legitimate authority and government some pro- vincea which bave been primary objects of his most apxious and loving beneficence.

(Caeers. SPEECH OF THE ARG OF MaLMESBURY. The Earl of Maramssuny said—I should not think of troubling your lordships this evening if [ ned not beom oblige? to wait for some time before I was able to answer certain charges made by emioent members of the present government, and by the Prime Minister, with to ‘that part of the policy of the late government for which I was more particularly responsibie. On the last night that we met in this Honse ty nobie friend the President of the Council, if he did not make charges, certainly made two or three insinuations of neglect, in which. I think, he must now con! that be was mistaken. i near.) To the first place be insinuated that her Mejesty’s late government bad not taken such measures as were desir- Able to prevent the collision which subsequently took place between Austria and France and Sardinia, Heasked, with the conviction, no doubt, that auch was not the fact, whether, early in the month of February, or withia three weeks of Parliament mesting, tbe late government had cone anytbing to put a stop to the then unfortu- pave state of things. Tne noble ear}, if be has had time, end bas taken the trouble to read the books whica I havo placed on your lordsbipe’ table, muat confess that we did ‘ail we possibly coald al the period to which he alluded to prevent what subsequently occurred. (Coeers.) AS carly as the 10th of January her Majesty’s late govern- ment addressed bot the Courtsof Paris and Vienga, eu- ing them to ute their utmost efforts to come to some rapding, they being the only two Powers whi by Acting in concert, could stop the calamities we for eaw end prevent the war which was impending. I will not trouble your lordships by reading any extract, but Ido not believe that any language could bo stronger, or apy advice more candicly put forward than was addressed to those two Courts on that occasion. peepee My noble friend went on to insinuate that Lord Cowley’s mission was invested with great mystery and discredit, and tbat it bad no definite object. You will find in the blue-book tnat before Lord Cowley left Paris be had a persoual interview with the Emperor, that the Emperor drew up a memorandum of poants which he wishee tobe setiled by the Court of Austria, that those points were ofterwards drawn up by Count Walewskei, and that nothirg could be more particular and exact"than the objects unth which Lord Cowley wentto Vienna. (Cheers ) Tam eure that in that respect also my noble friend wiit admit bis anticipations bave not been justified, aed [am quite prepared to acknowledge that, in alluging to those to him obscure points of our foreign policy, be did not lay upon them any such stress as to say that her Mejesty’a late government oust, in consequence of them, to be ex- cluded from office. My noble friend conflaed himself te the expression of a hope that the supposition on which his statoment was based was not true, but there are other members of the present Ministry who were not content to pursue a similar course. The nobie tord at the head of the government himself did no’. scruple to use in another place language to which I sbail, with your lordships’ Permission, briefly refer. He was, in course of the speech in which“that Ianguage qccurs, at- tempting to show that the late government was not em- titled to the confidence of the country, and to adduce proofe that they ought to be immediately ejected from office as unwort! 4 to give counsel to the sovereign. The ground on which he based his argument as to their pacity to discharge that duty was whis:—He said, ‘fhe course which the government has taken has brought om war. They are the cauve of the present hostilitios;” and bow, in bis opinion, had we produced this resu? By the use of language hostile to France and Sardinia, aad by patronizing Austria. He said + Bold ont 1 hopes of supporting Austria against France, igno- Fant thats Austria was determined on®war, and thag France was not for it; and, that being the case, that the breakfbg out of war was attributable to us, and that we were as a consequence no longer fit to hola the seals of office. Now, if this imputation be correct—it wo wero in reality the cause of this dreadful war, no verdict could be more just thao that which the lord asked the oure of Commons to fed ad But let me for a moment endéavor to sbow your how reckless is the lan- jordshi gpage which tbe present Prime Minister has deemed it not ‘upfit to ase, and how totally be must have neglected to ook into any source of information by means of which he could arrive at a knowledge of the real facta of the case. He went on to on the occasion to which I allude:— ‘but believe tbat friendly, firm, but tem Jan- Roveabetnes tt Set ne ares piper terete neereate eure ‘concilistor to that of a criminal, It ‘ne i Lom ‘not your: Free the south of Italy from mihtary occupa- from iments, and let the Itslians and tlre ments deal wih exch olver as independent nations vas That is the course which the present Prime Minister thinks we ought to have adopted. That is.the which he thinks we ought to have used, and what our Jordships sey when I tell you that it te almost ser- im the very language which we did employ? (Cheers) On the 10th of January last I wrote to Lord A. Loft wis, hee Majesty’s Minister at Vienna, in the following terms:— ‘Your lordship will frankly tell Count Buol that Awtruggie ax we deprecate be the result of the trangement between France sod Austris, Engiaad would re~ main 8 pentral ‘of the contest .and that ia a0 cage would public opinion in this country render It possible tor ber $0 aasiat Austria cs againet her vin subjects, if the content asrumed
