AFFAIRS IN EUROPE. Italy avd Ireland, WE LORD LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND ON THE WAR— CONTRAST BETWEEN IKELAND AND ITALY. fDubiim (July 14) correspondence of Liverpool Post.) ‘A)though the arrival of the Earl of Carlisle oc- curred on the 12th of July, a day hitherto memora- Die for its Orange orgies and unseeming strife, thanks to the prudent precautions taken by his Excellency, who had insisted on not having any blic display, all passed off harmoniously, and in Ris respect bore a remarkable and gratifying con- ‘trast to the entry into the oy of the Barl of Eglin- ton, who, through no fault of his own, was regarded as the representative of a faction instead of that of the Sovereign of the empire. Jn reply to an address from the Dublin Corpora- ‘tion, presented on Wednesday afternoon, in which hie Excellency was congratulated upon having re- entered the office of Viceroy ‘at atime when the sounty, abounds with evidences of growing pros- ity: — Lord Carlisle said—I am fully conscious that if I can hope to discharge my part with any acceptance amongst this people, it must mainly be by throwing myeelf with the fullest and freshest sympathy, with whatever unequal efforts, into all that constitutes their national life, by which I would not understand merely the Le of their great national and ma- terial wealth, but their aspirations for excellence in literature, in art, in arms, in virtue, in piety, in all that has illustrated their chequered, but not inglo- rions past—in all that, I trust, will adorn their pros- Perous and brilliant future. His Excellency also made the following reference to the late war in Italy:—Most promptly and en- tirely lecho your wish that we may abstain from all part whatever in the destructive war by which part of Europe has been lately ravaged, but of which, we may now hope, with the blessing of the Almighty, to witness a termination. What a con- trast Ireland exhibits at this moment to the “sunny diay’ ‘which has been the theatre of the war, With w the eye meets on all sides slelds teeming wilh awndance, the contented, peace prevalent, and crine daily diminishing. The best evidence as to tht tranquillity of the country is afforded by the stateof the calendars in the respective coun- ties wherethe assizes are now being held. To be- gin with Dogheda; we are told that “there is no eriminal @se for trial, neither was there any at the garter sessions,” in consequence of which th High Sheriff! has to present the Lord Chi¢ Baron with a pair of white gloves. In Cayan, he new judge, Baron Hughes, congratu- lated theGrand Jury on the tranquillity of the eounty, asshown by the calendar before him. In the count of Longford there was only one case for trial, ad the business of the Court was over in about tworours. In the county of Roscommon the ealendar ontained only the names of two prison- ers, and Jdge Ball remarked to the Grand Jury: “When Tperceive the marvellous decrease of cime, conrasted with former assizes, 1 must sin- erely comratulate you upon the very peaceable stte of tle county.” Inthe eounty of Limerick, were Mr.5mith O’Brien is this year foreman of tk GrandJury, the calendar is also light; and here it may not be out of place to state that lat weet Mr. O’Brien’s tenantry present- echim wth an address, and in the course ©. his reply he enunciated the following pictical and’ common sense opinion as to the r@tions setween landlord and tenant:—In my re- hon to my tenants J have always taught that they nist mainly rely upon themselves for their pros- prity, and Iam happy to say that they are distin- gehed for their industry, punctuality, temperance af orderly conduct. A landlord can do little for hitenans who are disposed to lean upon others réber thin upon their own exertions; but it will al- ‘wys be ny endeavor to merit their confidence hy agng umn the good old maxim of “live and let liz? When the relations between landlord and teant an carried out on these principles we hear nghing o tenant right, and the tenantry are hap- py. Thee is no doubt that to the carrying out Pais praciple of fair play on an extended scale atthe pesent day, as contrasted with times pat, we we the altered state of the country ge- neally. lt is gratifying to have to record that thy Oranme anniversary has passed off in Ulster wthout ny very noticeable d'sturbance. Some flags wer hoisted here and there, and in some lo- jities sbts were fired, bat with these exceptions there wahardly any other outward display. Even in Belfasinot long since disgraced by tarbulence and riot, ere was not the least tendency to dis- tarb the jblic peace. Indeed, the only noticeable indicatiorof riot on the 12th occurred at Kinsale, where th Antrim militia, all but sixty of whom, it is stated, re Orangemen, made a display of party emblemswhich led to a conflict between them and some of ie townspeople. Six of the militia and twenty-for civilians were seviously injured, but the riot was melled by the appearance of a troop of the Scots treys and some infantry of the line. An inquiry is» be instituted into this case, and no doubt thos who have been the cause of this riot- ous conduc will have reason to regret taking part in what batturned out the only exception to the tranquillityof the country even on the 12th of July. Begiam and the United States. FIRST CIWULAR OF THE BSLGIAN COMMITTEB FOR THE DWBLOPEMENT OF DIRECT TRADE BETWEEN BELGIUI AXD THR SOUTH OF THE UNITED STATES. [Translatedfrom the Independance Belge, July 10, for the ‘New YorK fzrarp.} The ida of establishing direct relations with Europe hw numerous and influential partisans in the South of the United States. The question is, on one sid, the direct expedition of American pro- duce, suchas cotton, tobacco, &c., from the places of productior to the places of consumption in Europe; and, on tle other side, of the European manufac- tures fromthe places where they are manufactured to the markets of consumption in the United States. This idea does not only interest the South of the Unied States, but also in different respects the vhole of the North American Confede- ration, It haw lately made great progress. The Association «f Georgia Planters has rendered it very popular,and although that association has no legal characte-, it is notwithstanding composed of American Jang owners who possess great resources and have grea influence. Belgium hagnaturally attracted the attention of the planters. Our country, placed as it is at the advanced posts of that part of the contment which faces America, in communication by admirable rail- roads with France, Germany, Holland and Switzerland, consuming much cotton, manu- facturing as well, and sometimes better than other countries, the articles which they send to the United States, is in the most favorable con- dition to become the general entrepot of the cotton consumed on the European continent, and to gain those direct relations which the Southern States are interested in establishing with our neighboring countries. " With that object in view, the Association of the Planters ot Georgia has entered into correspon- dence with some Belgian houses for the organiza- tion of the several branches of that scheme. i After mature investigation, a provisional commit- tee called together some manufacturers at the United States Legation in Brussels; a definitive com- mittee was there instituted, having for its mission “the developement of direct trade between Belgium and the South of the United States of America.” This committee, after having obtained advice and information from the United States representa- tive in Belgium, and several of our diplomatical agents, drafted the following resolutions :— Whereas, there exists, as well in the United States as in Belgium, a strong desire to organize direct commercial relations between Belgium and the Southern States of the Union ona Jang scale; and, whereas, this scheme appears to be of vitalim- portance to the industrial interests of waar our committee declares that it constitutes itself for the object of realizing that great scheme, or, at least, to establish the basis thereof. " Prudence requires that before investing money in an enterprise of that kind, which necessarily will require considerable capital, the most effica- cious means to enlighten the Belgian manufacturers on the merits of the relations in project should be looked for, and principally that the necessities ol the people with whom those manufacturers wil’ have to trade should be studied on the spot. To obtain that result we have resolved to con- sider the means of organizing a trial expedition, in conjunction with a fair of Belgian manufactures, to take place in New Orleans, or in another city of the South of thé United States. The Relgian manufacturers will be invited to send to that fair not only samples but also small quan- tities of goods found Me high “pes to the wants of the country. Those goo x ount of the exhibitors. Mt len at Our committee has no personal interest whatever in view. Its object is so! ely the general interest of the country and of its principal manufactures. Con- sequently its members will incur no material re- sponsil ty on account of the facts which they ht establish in the execution of their mandate. ey can, like the other manufacturers, indivi- dually take part in the enterprise. Our committee will use all the means at their disposal to get infor- mation on the kind of manufactures best fitted for the market where the fair will take place. A ship will be freightet to carry the goods of the exhibi- tors to the port of destination, with return freight in cotton or other produce. . The choice of that ship, the freighting of the soda, and everything concerning that trial expe- ition, will be done in view of furnishing those tn- terested with serious and necessar information, to be used as the basis for the calculations of fatare ‘ansactions, and, among others, of establishing a regular service for direct transportation between the Belgian ports and New Orleans and the borders of the Mississippi. This first voyage will take between the ports of Ghent or Antwerp and one of the Southern ports. The committee will endeavor to find a shipowner | willing to take charge of the transportation on h's | own account and at his own risk. It will petition the government for a subsidy to insure the payment of the expenses of its labors, and guarantee, in case of need, the freight money of the vessel. It will also petition the government to obtain its good offices near its consular agents, in order to obtain seuptes and the most complete commercial infor- mation, and also their official concurrence near the American officials. Those resolutions have been communicated to the government, and we are happy to be able to inform you that “we can rely on the sympathy of the government and its strong desire to favor the success of our enterprise by all pranmenle means,’ It results from These facts that the committee, previously to recommending the enterprise of im- portant commercial operations requiring large capi- tal, has thought It prudent to enlighten our manu- facturers and our merchants by a trial expedition which is to take place in conjunction with a fair of Belgian manutactures in one of the Southern cities, and the arrangement and expenses of which will be made by the Association of the Georgia Planters. The planters will designate the boat where the fair is to be held. The expedition of the manufac- tures will take piace about the month of Septem- ber next. The ship that will trausport the goods for the fair will receive a freight of cotton on its return. We think it our duty to make you this communi- cation at present, so that you may have time to prepare and take part in the enferprise. You will toon receive another circular, in which we will communicate to you all the information which we will have obtained about the articles most in request in those countries, as also the several ar- rangements which we have yet to make. You will remark, sir, that you are invited to send to that in- dustrial fair not only samples of your manufac- tures, but also small lots of goods found requisite to the needs of the country. We hope, sir, that you willappreciate the patriotic object of this scheme, and that you will answer in a manner worthy of industrial Belgium, to the in- vitations of the American planters, to which we add ours, Manizivs, member of the House of Representa- tives, manufacturer at Ghent, President.

Gore Ouseley has already had £4,500 for settling the Central American question, the unset- tlement whereof seems to be the unquestionable thing abont it. The omniverous Sir Henry Bulwer has had £2,500 for his trip to the Danubian Principalities, which he has left, and he has invariably left everything and piace he has put his foot in far worse than he found them. He took part in one of the three abortive special missions as to the treaty of Paris in 1856; charge, £8,500—the said peace being a bur- lesque on the war that led to it, aud the treaty itself practically blotted out ere the ink was dry. We may be sure that his iy a exploits in Turkey, whither it cost £2,700 (beside “ entertainment’) to transport him, will be of a piece with his per- formance there twenty years ago, when he managed to ruin the commerce of the Porte under the pre- tence of promoting it. Stratford de Redcliffe took it into his head to go tosee the Sultan the other day, what for nobody knows, the last of the Othmans less perhaps than anybody. English taxpayers are charged £1,700 for the junketing, besides another £500 for farther entertainments. The King of Portugal took it into his head to tie the matrimonial noose the other day, and the Garter was conveyed to him per the Marquis of Bath— cost £1,391 4s. 7d.; with £439 3s, 4d. for the letters patent making hima K.G. Of couree at his Majes- ty’s expense? Of course nothing of the kind. In no veins containing one drop of German blood is there the magnanimity of indifference to money; and accordingly Bull, the golden calf, is vampi- rised as usual. Elgin’s mission to China cost £11,500, and was cheap at the money, there being very little for “‘en- tertainments.” Buc “ entertainments” all through these bills are the reverse of amusing, save on score of the impossibility of reconciling them with any rule of reason or any reasonable rule. We find a king, Lord John Russell’s “phantom king,” though he doesn’t appear to be much of a ghoul in the devouring line, his Mosquito Majesty, was entertained in her British Majesty’s ship Valo- rous for a couple of guineas, whereas to entertain the King and Queen of the Sandwich Islands on rei the Vixen, for much the same time, cost £141 2s, What Episcopal Nemesis is it that always causes the entertainment of bishops to come off in ships with names the most repugnant to missions of eace and self-denial. Here we find the Bishop of Victoria entertained on board the Fury, and the Bishop of Gibraltar on board the Vulture. What's inaname aay signify little to the country- men of him who drew Romeo and Juliet, but it may signify much to the savages to whom those country- men send emissaries of the old faith and new life. However, this may be but a trifle, though trifles are sometimes ponderous, as we find in the present item of £2,398 2s. 6d., for robes, collars, ges, &c., for knights of the several orders; although we are always told that the benighted individuals are nearly garotted with the expenses of their expen- diture. But that is nothing to this, namely, £5,559 15s. 1d. Observe the penny. What for? Why, for puttin: in order the chapel of St. James on the occasion o! the Prince of Prussia getting £40,000, cash down, and £6,000 a year, on which condition he agreed to take a certain young English lady off our hands. Here are a few more amazements of astounding arithmetic. The pardon of Carlo Rudio, the Orsini bomb individual, cost £22 18s. 6d. The two French officers who accompanied the gun lately presented to the Queen by the Emperor of the French, were themselves | age with two ‘old watches, at a cost of £60. e Queen's cost? No; we were told so at the time; but it turns out that the ever-to-be-phlebotomized public is the vic- tim. Here's an item that forms a nice adjunct to the foregoing—probaply this is the last year ever any- thing of that sort will figure here again, namely, “second moiety of the expense incurred for pre- servation of monuments-erected in the new church at Waterloo to the memory of British officers who fell in that battle, £500. be Again, a Bonapartean souvenir—£120 to Sir J. Burgoyne for going to Paris to deliver the faneral car of Napoleon I. to Napoleon IIL; Sir John then coming home, and telling us that Napoleon IIL in- tends fnrnishing us all with a necessity for funeral cars—to wit: hearses, in the twinkling of a coffin- maker's hammer. Here’s a curious souvenir also of old wars:— “Amount granted for distribution among the three surviving daughters of the late P. Shakerly, an American seaman, who was killed in an attack made Py, her (/) Majesty's ship Leopard on the United States frigate Chesapeake, in 1807, £500.” Why an enemy should be thus dealt with it is rather bewildering to guess, and why the dealing should not be known til! Wak be years had er eet is yet more astonishing. But wonderful are all ways gov- ernmental, and it is no use trying to understand them. The Hudson’s Bay Company and its ta In the House of Lords on the 1th of July the Earl of Carnarvon inquired whether it was the in- tention of her Majesty’s government during the present session to take any steps in reference to the North-American territories, over which hitherto the Hudson’s Bay oa had held an exclusive license of trade with the Indians, There was no occasion for his going at any length into the ques- tion, but the late government considered th: hey were justified in renewing @ license to the Hu@son’s Bay Company, as that was the means of keepit theindians inthe vicinity in order. The effect of the monopoly had, however, been to place the In- dians in entire subjection to it, so that they could do nothing of themselves, but were put under a control which they could not countenance or resist. There waa no doubt that this company was in a better position than they believed it to be, and he would therefore suggest that some alteration should be made in the con- stitution of that Sompany, and that those parties might have more free and natural action. He was ready to give any advantage to public companies; but “he would never consent that the hunting rounds of the aborigines in the countries where eee companies were established, be violated and taken possession of in the way they had been. He therefore begged to put the question to the govern* ment which he had put upon the Paper. The Duke of Nswoastzs, in reply to the question, said that the noble earl who had put it seemed to have fone very far beyond the limits of the ques- tion which he had put upon the paper. He was not 80 pure that so soon after aumning the duties of Colonial Secretary he could satisfactorily answer the question; but having been Colonial Secretary NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JULY 31, 1859. some years ago, he did not feel any hesitation in doing so. There was no doubt that in certain parts of the Hudson’s Bay Company the ter- ritory of the natives was intact, but the question to which the neble earl referred had reference to that extent of territory between the Rocky mountains and the Ocean; and in respect of that he at once said that he did not consent to the renewal of the Hudson's Bay charter in that re- gion. At the same time it was the intention of the government to appoint magistrates for the purpose of considering such cases as might arise in the ter- ritory. These he did not propose to send out from Engiand, but te appoint them from local parties. He must say that he did not think it desirable on the part of the Colonial Office to take any definite steps for the colonization of those parts, but that they should rather leave it to private enterprise. Some years ago a railway scheme was proposed for constituting a system oF communication across -the country, but that had failed. He thought, however, that the carrying on a regular system of postal communication across the country would be of the greatest benefit, and such a scheme should Lave his most strenuous support. The matter was then dropped. News from Siberia. EDUCATIONAL AND COMMERCIAL EXPANSION OF THE TARAITORY—TRADE WITH CHINA—THE aMOOR 00- LONY—8YMPATHY FOR RUSSIA AND ILL FRELING TOWABD KNGLAND IN PERIN. [Saint Petersburg (July 2) correspondence of London Ching Telegrapb.

The first column of the “military settlers op the Amoor,” amounting to 10,000 men, bas arrived at Irkutek, from the iaterior of Russia, and they were to proceed to their destination the follow- jpg week. Count Murawieff, the Governor Goueral, was to proceed on ® tour of inspection to the Amoor {fn the couree of the month of June, and after wards intends goivg ry .op the Chinese frontier river, Ussuri, to lay tne line of demarcation, in virtue of the stipulations contained in the, lute treaty between Russia and China. Private letters from Kiachta state that the Kussian rels- tions witn Chine are not in & very satietactory condition, and maintain that the Emperor of Chiae has hitherto not ratified apy of the lately concluded treaties with Europsan govervmente; adding that, for some time he was seriously inclined io go to war with toem, bat lately appeared to think better of it, and entertained a more amicable feel- jing towards the “red baired devils ” A letter fiom the banks of the Amoor, published in the Northern Bee ot this city, contains the followwg passage on this subject:—“ We learn from the Songol fartars just returned from Pekin, where they had beea passing the winter, that the feeling of the Chinese towards the English is decidedty beatile, and even the Court party are in favor ofa pew war, Sbould they be so mad as to provoke new hestiiities, they would bave to pay dearly for it; for what result cen be expected from their miserablo artillery, their_clumsy matchlocks and useless crossbows?

(Berlin (July 7) correspondence of London China Telo- At 8 late sitting of the “Gen phital Society, the Ger- man artist, Herr W. Heine, read a highly interersting peper on the growing importance of China, Japan and the oa eer im reference to the trade of the Old ‘ori This [eqeier x! is a Saxon by birth, and landscape painter by profession. He was in the United States on an artietic tour when the expedition to Japan, under the late Commodore Perry, was organized; and, {n order to ac- company it, he entered the United States Navy as mas- ter’s aseistant, in which capacity he was rated, and did duty on board the Commodore’s flag-ehip. Not many months ago he published a very interesting account of the expedition, in a work of three volumes, in the German language, illustratea by numerous pictures from his own sketches taken on the spot; which work (published by Costenoble, at Leipzig) has had a great ran io Germany, and required several new editions to meet the demand. In hie lecture to the Geographical Society, Herr Heine dwelt with great force on the future prospects of Japan, aud not in- eptly, compared that group of islands to possess the same importance in the Pacific as that enjoyed by Great Britain in the Atlantic. “Under the fortunate combination of a fruiifal goil and genial climate, with vast and nearly un- explored mineral wealth, and a race of intelligent and in. dus'rious inhabitants, in spite of thetr present simple manners and primitive requirementa, there ig every rea- eon to expect that they will become large customers for Fnropean produce and manufactures, for which they have an abundance of valuable commodities to offer in ex- cha In respect to China, the lecturer observed that the im- portance of opening up that trade was still more clear, and quite impossible to overrate. He dwelt on the dense- ly packed state of the population, which was in many places 0 painfully overstocked, tha} there was literally ‘not sufficient room for them on land, and that hundreds of thousands were obliged to live in floating houses moor- ed in the rivers and on the lakes. In conclusion, he took ‘a review of the importance of Russia’s new acquisition on the Amoor, which was destined at no distant time to play a ataca part in the commercial history of the world. The object of Herr Heine’s lecture appears to have been ta create and extend the interest taken by other Kuropean ‘States in the trade to the far Kast amongst the Germans; and, though the present is an unfortunate moment for broachipg the subject of a German expedition to China and Japan, the seed has fallen upon good ground, and I was enabled in my last letter to mention the fact ofa meeting of German tg and manufacturers haying been Jately hold at Leipzig, in Saxony, for the purpose of forming the nucleous of a mercantile sesociation to take steps for extending the trade of Germany to those hither- to unknown fields of operation for Teutonic enterprise. As soon as the dark clouds that now obscure the political hor!- zon of Eurepe shall have passed away, and the sunshine of peace aod mercantile security smile again to favor oom: merciel undertakings, thero ig every reason to believe that the German govornments will take the needful steps to eecure for their subjects the inestimable advantages of tie intercourse and unrestrained traffic with China and japan.

Paris Fashions for July. {From Galignani’s Meessonger, July 14.) Light summer toilets engross all the attention, and there ig a gpeat run of white, by far the prettieat wear for this melting period of the year. What, for instance, is cooler Or morejharmonioue than a white robe. A fashionable costume consists of taree distinct parts— dress, ficha, and mantle, all of which can be worn to- gether or separately, The skirt is of white muslin, and there are two flounces and two large bouilions, and to flovnces and two bouilious again. Ia the hem of the floances is a blue, pink or green ribbon, and a mach wider one is run undernesth the bouilions, The corsage is low, lined with silk the color of the ribbon, and a petticoat of the same silk is worn with the skirt. The sieeves, reach- tog to the middle of the arm, bave two flounces and four bowllons, carried nearly up to the shoulder. At the waist is also a ribbon, fasiening either in front or be- hind, and if the dress ‘ts preferred high, the shoulders can be covered with a fishu composed of flounces and boulllope, and drawn at the throat with ribboa, For outdoors this tollet is completed by a mantle trimmed to mateh the ekirt, and cat round at the back, hollowed out to admit the arms, aud very long and square before. It Ig the length and voluminousnees of this mantle which dit nich it from all that have been worn hitherto, and it patronized by thoze ladies who are always on the watch for pew and st: iking changes. For morning wear thefe is nothing to equal clear mus- lin, colored or figured, made with loose jacket or full bod- dice; either body or jacket are fastened in front by bows of main the ends of which are rounded and edged with & guipure. Fashion in bonnets is nearly at a stand still, and cur ar- tiste for the time being bave ceased racking their brains for novelties. Tho newest thing we can mention ig bonnet made of flue black hair, embroidered with buttercups in siken straw. The ribbon used for the trimming bas a biack ground, and the flowers at the side are entirely black wits jot centres. Tae effect of this combination is very origina}, and it has the advan- tege of defying dust. 1¢ heat 1s too great for caps to be worn in the house, and thir place is pretti'y supplied by resilies of silk lace, A wide ribbon goes ail round and terminates in a bow on one side; but in order to render this ooiffare perfectly graceful, it should have something ikem light hood at ‘Une back. If the resilie is made of gold or silver thread, in can be worn in the ballroom by young giris, and Spanish accrns, finely worked, serve to compicte it, Fair Wromen can waar tho hood of Dlack lace, which keops ite freshness and Is not oppressively hot, Eideriy indies can line them with thin silk, and those who have pleaty of hair have only to put a flower on one side, and they are at once in possession of a charming coiffure, Incidents of the War in Iialy.

As to the troops of the centre, they bave established their provisional position between the railwey from Verona to Mantua, and the Adige; and those of tne left wing extend from Mantua to Orteglia along the Lower Mincio and the Po. Auother letter from Verona of the same date in the Pres of Vienna gives an unfavorable account of the state of the gerrison:—An extraordinary degree of bustle prevails in this town. Lovg files of vehicles pass night and day through the streets. The hest is tropical, and the troops already feel the effects of it, Typhus fever hag broken out in the hospitals, and a number of cases of dysentery have occurred. The soldiers cannot evea have cold bath, as the Adige does not afford favorable place for bathing, and no rllitary ewimming school has been established.

A Hungarian colonel, a friend of mine, who has foilowed the army since the be gining of the war, proposed to accompany me ia the tearch of ita whereabouts. Ia paesing Rivoltelia we saw the King at the head of his staff, and there found that the enemy, abut up in Peschiera, had attempted a sortie, and ‘was attacking the Piedmoatese positions. After a quarter of an bour’s walk on the bigh road we reached the rear of the divieton attacked, and found that after having retreat- ed, it was aesuming the offensive and vigorously repulsing the Austrians. The wareh of the Piedmontese—their ad. vance at least—was very rapid; and at four o’clock the enemy’s fire ceased, the Austrians having taken refuge bebind their walls, leaving a considerable number of their men on the battle field, whom they bad not time to pick up. A Milan correspondent writes on the 14th of June:— On Pricey eveving a grand concert was given at the Roy! ‘theatre, the epithet imperial having been Groppedgm honor of the occasion. When the Emperor and the 1g took their seats in the imperial box the most rapturous ¢vvivas buret forth from every part of the houge, which was most brilliantly illuminated All the pikees had been taken at au early bour of tue morning, and the theatre was deveely crowded.

HM ‘The London Times’ late correspondent from the Austrian headquarters writes to that paper on the subject of Ma. genta thus :—The facts are theee, and they are mos astounding : The whole of Gyulai’s army was, on the morning of the 3d.June, in full march towaras Magenta, the Seventh, fecond and Third corps by Vigevano and Abbiate Graseo, the Eighth by Bereguardo, and the Fifth by Pavia. The two latter were to bivouac that night about twelve miles south of Magenta, the others much clover, Had this march pot been interra the Emperor Napoleon and his Guards must have been taken prisoners the next morning. Nothing but a miracle could gave him—the miracle took place. At balf past five on tbe morning of the 34, a8 Count Gyulai rode through Bereguardo, he met General Hess, bis superior offiver, who bad been sent by the Emperor to advise him. I was present at the time, and then and there wrote you a letter, which Tfear you did not recetve. For four hours and a half the two were closeted together in a room of the old pest house. I bave heard since that General Heas wished the army marcbed back to Novara, and a battle to be fought there, but this I do not know for certain. What I do know, what I saw, was that after a quarter of an hour’s consultation orderly officers were sent to every corps with ordera tobalt. ‘the 7th and 2d corpe were already across the Ticino and in Lombardy, the 3d was on the bridge, aud had of course to move bick and take up a defensive posi- tion in Piedmont.

Lombardy was already lost. ‘The Marseilles correepondent of the London Tims ob serves:—Tbe Austrian officers have not yet been allowed Aheir parole, and, seeing the delay taken by the Minister in giving the permission, they applied to the General in command at jilles for leave to walk on shore two bours a day at any period he might appoint, in order that they might breathe purer air, and take the exercise ne- cessary for the preservation of their health. But the Ge- neral bas not yet condescended to favor them with a ro- ply—an unmannered act which will excite as much indig- nation in France as in the rest of Europe. Nor is this all; the ceed are prohibited from hold- ing intercourse with the inhabitanta of the town, none of whom are allowed to go on board the prison ship. None, am sure, will feel more annoyed and humiliated, when they learn the ill-treatment of the Austrian offizers, than their valiant opponente on the field of battle—the officers and soldiers of the French army, and when the news reaches the ears of Napoleon IIl., we may.expect a signal vindication of the honor of France and of her character for humanity. A letier from Frankfort on-the-Maine, of the 11th of July, says:—Tho Inst news from the seat of war bas had an unexpected effect on public opinion here. The money mekers are making money and rejoice accordingly, bat the politicians—and they inclade all classes—seem to view the future with miegivings than ever. Not that Tes iu this money making town—where, as old Rothschild once eatd, moncy is to be found in every street by those who know how to look for it—do not in- dulge much in abstract theories of right and wrong, but they can feel no confidence in the duration of a peace which will necessitate almost the same expenses as war. an for peace, as all do, but a peace arran‘ed by Engiand and Prussia, to be followed by a general disarma- ment; not @ peace con3luded on the sly between the Em- perore of France and Austria. A Vienna letter of the 11th of July says:—‘‘ Austria bay- ing been sufficiently humiliated, Napoleon is willing to pardon her for her past offences, and to take her into favor again if she will promise not to thwartthe plang which France and Russia have formed for the well being of Kurope in general and of Turkey in Europe in particu- Jer.” It muet be well understood that Louis Napoleon made advances to the Emperor of Austria without the knowledge of England and Prussia. In order to avoid the menaced mediation of the neutrals, the French monarch made direct overtures to Austria, and by £0 doing made mere “outsiders” of two ef the great Powers. A few days ago an English statesman assured the House that England would not fail to make her influence felt when there should be a question of peace, but the British government will fiud it somewhat difficult to recover the round which has been lost on the Continent during the jast eight or ten months. A Turin letter of the 11th of July remarks:—The Pied. montese, a great majority of whom—notwithstanding all that has been affirmed to the contrary by parties inte. rested in fostering a delusion—were for a long time by no means anxious to go to war at all, have had hopes held out to them of broad provinces annexed, of power, of gran- deur and wealth accruing to them from the war, into which their leaders dragged them. 71 have seen ‘incurred, loams co} prodigious expenses ) [, tases aug: ‘mented, and already there is mowrning’ in the land for thou- sands of brave men fallen.

Italian imaginations are apt to break into a gallop,and you may rely upon it that there are plenty of peopie here who already admit doubts and suspicions of the Emperor Napoleon’s good faith towards I march, ATurin letter of the 10‘h ef July says:—The French troops enliven the long baits of the dawdling Italian rail- ways by a great deal of fun, and by practical jokes innu- merable.

The system that has been introduced of conveyin; troops by ratl, while it is likely to shorten wars, cannot, think, but contribute to render the military profession more popular than éver in France. The soldier’s greatest curse used to be the gogo and fatigue of long marches; the day of battle is his pleasure and festival. Steam now conveys him almost under fire. He is delight ed at the novelty of riding in his carriage, where he has nothing to do but to smoke, gossip, and sleep. Aletter from Rome of the 9th of July says:—General Schmidt has been in Rome to exprees his gratitude to the Pope for his promotion. He left last night agaln with half a battery of artillery, wherewith to fortify the lofty posi- tion of the Capuchin convent against the possible contin- gency of an attack from the Tuscan volunteers, who are faid to be in force at Arezzo.

Tho New Prussian Gazette remarks a8 follows:—Peace ‘will probably follow the armistice of 1859; and in looking at it in merely a material point of view, it will be very supportable. France, in all probabili:y, will not make any conquest; Sardinia only a little, and perhaps even one or other of the expelled priaces will be restored. But bow will Evrope constitute herself after this peace? In the flret place, Frauce will be the preponderating Power on the Contizent.
