DESPATCHES FROM THE SEAT OF WAR. The following despatches show the course of events:— A private despatch from the French headquarters, gated the 3d instant, says:—This morning, at seven o’clock the Emperor quitted Volta in order o cross the Mincio and establish his headquarters at Vallegio. We are only four leagues from Peschiera, the siege of which was begun two days ago by the fardinians. Cannon were heard night and day in that direction. The Austrian advanced post is buta short dis tance from Villafranca, which is occupied by the corps of Marshal Niel. It is much doubted that the Austrian army will yenture to accept a battle in the condition of de- moralization and stupor into which they have fallen since our victory at Salferino, OFFICIAL. Vauuear0, July 4, 1859. The French army, increased by Prince Napo- keon’s corps, will operate against Verona whilst part of the Sardinians begin the siege of Peschiera. ‘The Emperor having sent back the wounded offi- cers without exchange, and having requested an exchange of prisoners, an Austrian has arrived with the announcement that the Emperor of Austria will also send back without exchange the wounded pri oners of the Allies, and that his Majesty is equally desirous for the exchange of others. OFFICIAL. Turn, July 1, 1859. On the 29th ult. the Sardinians more closely in- vested the exterior fortifications of Peschiera, situated on the right bank of the Mincio. Our army crossed the river on the 30th to invest Pes- chiera also on the left bank. Berne, July 5, 1859. ‘The Austrians have withdrawn from Bormio. The Piedmontese are advancing towards the Btelvio Pass. Frome, July 4, 1859. It is asserted that French troops, amounting to ten thousand men, have disembarked, at Lossino Piccolo, an island in the Adriatic, and that the bridge to Cherso, an adjacent island, had been de- stroyed. A report was current at Castiglione that the Austrians had entered into Verona. The London Herald's Turin correspondent says that twenty thousand heds had been ordered down from Milan to Brescia, and ten thousand from Turin. There were great complamnts of the scarcity of provisions in the villages occupied by the Allies. THE POSITION OF GERMANY. On the 4th inst. there was an extraordinary sit- ting of the Federal Diet at Frankfort, when Prussia presented new and further proposals respecting the establishment, extension and command of the corps of observation on the Rhine. Immediately after the sitting M. de Usedon left for Berlin. Prussia, it is said, has given tranquilizing assur- ances to the French government. A Berlin correspondent of the London Times says that the Prussian proposals were in the hands of Russia and England. The writer says that by the end of the week the Prussian army will be in fall march. Two corps d’armée will be stationed on the Silesian frontier in case of an unexpected attack on the part of Russia. On the lower and mid- dle Rhine 140,000 Prussians will be stationed, when these preparations are completed Prussia will pro- bably make her proposals to France, and these will unquestionably be refused. The same correspon- dent gives an outline of the propositions which in- clude the erection of Venice into a separate king- dow, with the Archduke Maximillian as King. THE PAPAL STATES. An inquiry into the late disturbances at Perugia had been ordered. ‘The official condemnation by the French govern- ment of the article which appeared in the Paris Siecle affirms that respect for the papacy form part of the programme which the Emperor is car- rying outin Italy. The responsibility of the con flict at Perugia is cast upon those who compelled the pontifical government to make use of armed force for legitimate defence. The Monileur de Bologna publishes a letter of Count Cavour addressed to the junta of Bologna, saying that the government of the King cannot ac- cept the union of the Romagna with Piedmont, but will direct the Roman forces to concur for the pur- pose of obtaining Italian independence. GREAT BRITAIN. In the House of Lords on the 4th, a motion for a select committee to inquire into tho operation of the church rates system was agreed to. In the House of Commons, the same evening, Mr. Griffiths inquired whether the British Con- ul at Rio de Janeiro had exercised anything to prevent a certain contract for the sale of slaves in Brazil by a British mining company from being carried into effect. Lord John Russell said that the company had been informed that they would he liable to penalty if slaves were sold. Mr. Glad- stone announced that the flaangial statement would be submitted as s- eur were pre- pared: «fA a8 the estimates pre: ae Present” ession to bring ina bill to carry ou the rece’ mendations of the Commissioners for a -ag the navy. = Lord L paget said it was intended during "ord Palmerston repeated his statement, that no reform measure could be introduced at present. On the Sth in the Lords, Lord Stratford de Rad- clifle gave notice of a resolution approving the neutral attitude assumed by the government, rely- ing on the continuance of that policy, but at the same time adopting measures for the completion of the national defences. Lord Lyndhurst strongly advocated vigorous measures of defence both on sea and land. He thought that a regular military force of one hun- dred thousand men ought to be maintained, and an equal force of disembodied trained militia. He re- garded the assertion, that France had no wish to invade England, as undeserving of consideration. England ought to live in perfect independence of French forbearance, relying alone upon the vigor of her people. Lord Granville deprecated the introduction of a subject of so delicate a nature. He thought Lord Lyndhurst’s remarks were calculated to annoy and irritate the French. He spoke, however, as did other members in favor of strengthening military and naval defences. In the Commons, the Chancellor of the Exche- quer, in answer to Mr. Baxter, said the attention of the government had been called to the contract to caary the mails between Galway and the United States; but had not yet considered whether it would be to the interest of the public that the said contract should, under certain conditions, be cancelled. He intended, however, to move fora select committee to inquire into the whole system of contracts, The Fourth of July was celebrated in London by ® banquet at St. James Hall—Gen. R. B. Campbell, United States Consul at London, presided. Among the guests were Messrs. Dallas, John Bright, M. P., Cyrns W. Field, and others. The usual toasts were given and responded to with much euthusiasm, Mr. Dallas in a speech compared the present position of Italy to that of the United States in 3776, in its wish for independence, and without entering into the merits of the war, expressed a warm sympathy with the spirit of national independence, let it exist where it it may, and concluded by proposing a sentiment to that effect. The Chairman in proposing a toast of non-intervention, the true policy of a free gov- ernment, coupled with it in eulogistic terms the name of Mr. Bright. That gentleman responded ina characteristic speech, in which he gave his strong assent to the toast, and reiterated his admi- ration for American principles. Sundry other speeches were made and all passed off well. Charles Villiers has been appointed President of the Poor Law Board, with a seat in the Cabinet, vice Milner Gibson, who accepted the post declined by Mr. Cobden. The London Advertiser gave currency to a ru- mor that Mr. Cobden is likely to be offered the Governor Generalship of Canada. It is stated that Mr. Disraeli was offered a baro- netcy on his retirement from office; he declined it. Mr. Hure, British Consul at New Orleans, sued for and obtained a divorce from his wife in London. A deputatioin from the Atlantic steamship Com- pany (Galway line) had waited on the Chancellor of the Exchequer to urge sundry improvements at Galway harbor. It was announced that the Atlantic Telegraph Company obtain the co-operation of Robert Ste- phenson, Professors Wheatstone and Thompson, who, with Mr. Varley, consulting electrician of the company, and other scientific individuals, will form a committee to investigate and advise as to the construction of the next cable. Mr. Saward, Secretary of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, publishes letters contradictory of the absurd rumor that the cable had never been in practical operation. He shows that there were actually transmitted a total of three hundred and sixty-six messages, or thirty-nine hundred and forty words. FRANCE. It is again currently reported in well informed quarters that that the Emperor intended to return to Paris in July. The vintage is expected to be superior quality, but not abundant, The harvest in Algeria was completed, and the crops excellent. Flour was dull and nominal in Paris. Wheat had declined fifty cents on the week. The corps d’armée of Pelissier to observe the frontiers of the Rhine was to be completed and es- tablished in cantonments by the 13th of July, it consists of 160,000 infantry, 12,000 cavalry and 400 cannon. The Bourse was buoyant, and the three percents had advanced. AUSTRIA. The London Times Vienna correspondent says there was something wnusual going on between France, Russia and Turkey.

FRENCH OFFICIAL CONTRADICTION OF GERMAN WAR NEWS. [From the Paris Moniteur, July 2.) The Augsturg Gazette of the 24th of June thinks proper toreply by noel ees to the comparison which we made in our number of the 2ist, between the infor- mation given in a journal or report found after the victory of Magenta at the Austrian headquarters at Abbiate Grageo, and the assertions of the Gazette on the subject of the combat at Palestro. We shall not notice either the first part of the reply ide f the German journal, or the manner in which it es it; but will confine ourselves to observing—1. That our comparison had no reference to the figures of the ical Gasdte of Vienna, which we were not acquainted with; 2. That the Augsburg Gazette contradicts itself, fore insinuating that the de Redern is an invention, it should have cal that in ita number of the 11th it itself pointed officer, by announcing his arrival on the 2d eadquarters of Lomeilo, However [ming of a serious journal like the Augsbur its duty to be moderate in its language, right to impugn the veracity of others, after having, on the 8th of June, published the following lines:— “The Austrian army remained master of the fleld of bat- tle and rey thecnemy. * « ° After &@ very gapguinary combat the Austrians, thanks to the ar- rival of the Ga od of Clam-Gallas on the field, gained the .

Pursuant to public notice, a meeting of citizens, both native and naturalized, took place at the building 195 Bowery, yesterday afternoon, to discuss the Cass lettor and to give expression to their feelings on the question of the righta of naturalized citizens. There was but little interest evinced in the movement, judging from the very small number of persons who were present to take part in the proceedings. On close counting of all hands at the thickest part of the discussion, there were just fifty-one citizens; and, to speak candidly, the oratory was not in any manner edifying, but, on the contrary, was through- out of a dull, stale, flat and unprofitable character. ‘The meeting was organized by Mr. Pauawer being called to the chair, who stated the objects for which they had met together, Mr. TvckEr then addressed the meeting. The first question is, said he, what is acitizen? Citizen, from civis, implies ® person who, a8 a member of @ common- wealth, reguiates the condition of the government. This juestion, as propounded by Mr. Cass, resolves iteelf into two condkious:—Firet, the natural rights, and, second, the civil or legal rights of man. By the definition of the first division it is precluded from being used as argu- ment in this discussion, the definition of natural rights being the right to do as you please, which necessitates a man in an individual, isolated condition. By legal rights we mean the privileges and government growing outof society. As goon as individuals unite into tribes or communities they immediately curtail the exer- cise of natural rights, ana by. their very connection with each other they bind themselves by an implied contract that But ‘supporting “government? “for ‘all govern: ut su] government 4 ments are bus lair the voice of the people, and so allegiance lo government is but another form of alle. giance to the members of the commonwealth.

A gentleman in the andience wished to know how could be said that Mr. Cass had backed down? Mr. TuckER—By ing in his first letter that naturaliz. ed citizens, on returning to their own countries, subjected themeelves to military service; and when Wise and Botts drew public attention to this, he modified his doctrine by saying that the parties returning were liable if they were able before leaving. J ‘The GaniizMax—then you contend for the principle maintained by Cass at first? ae Tooxsr—I as va Oruxn—Thoa there you are wrong. Mr, McDraworr maintatied that the principle contended for by the last speaker was that a man who was born un- der a particular government was in some manner @ slave to that government. It was, in short, the doctrine of alle. giance arising out of obsolete inws enacted in feudal timee, by ‘which the vaseal was bound to give service to the lord of the soil. This, if the law of allegiance at this day, ovght certainly to be modified. It was his view that the Constitution of the United States did not prevent any man from expatriatieg himself. He then went on to state his opinion that the laws of the United States admitted tne foreigner to all the rights and privileges of native born citizens, and this was shown in the fact that on his natu- cn he Was not questioned as to his previous obliga- If be was a citizen in fact, then he should be enti- All kinds of goods were slightly higher.
