Our files are dated to the 23d ef June," The English journals contain very ample and maost intoresting details of our fol! \ telegraphic report published i the Hunaxp on Tuesday. It is officially announced that the contemplated visit ef the Emperor Napoleon to the towns of the eastern department, after the festivities of Nancy, is counter- manded. The Prefect of the Bas-Rhin has informed the Mayor of Strasbourg of the fact, and the Mayor has given notice to the Municipal Council. In the Prefect’s letter be says that “the Emperor wil! not be able to visit, as he had intended, the city of Strasbourg in the course of next month ;”” that the journey is postponed to-another period, and that his Majesty regrets the disappointment, and ex- Presses the hope of carrying out his project as s00n as possible. No particular reason is given for the counter- mand, but there ‘sno doubt (saye a Paris letter) bis Majesty is unwilling to be so near the Rhine during the war im Germany.

The fire had made considerable pro- gress before it was discovered, and the flames defied the efforte of the fire brigade. Upwards of sixteen hundred ‘Dales of cotton were stored in the premises, besides two hundred tons of logwood, the greater part of which has ‘eon consumed. The principal owners were Mesera Brown, Shipley & Co, ;:0 small portion of the-cotton be- longing to Rathbone Bros., Taylor & Co., J. Swire and Walton, Bolton & Co.

The cbject of this lateral movement is to gain ion of the line of railway, which, running fast and west through Saxony, would be of great use to the enemy, for purposes of concentration, if allowed to yemain in their bands. Its jon doer not give much advantage to the Prussians, for the retiring Saxons bave in many places torn up the rails and have cut the telegraph wires.

The general course of events in the occupation of saxony bas been as follows :— Ou the evening of the 15th, when the Saxen govera- meat bad ted the Prussian ultimatum and knew that the army of Prince Frederick Charles was concen- trated on the frontier, means adopted te impede as much as possible the advance of the Prussian troops, Saxon pionvers were set to work upon the railways which Yead from the frontier upon Dresden, @f such rail- ways there are two, which follows the valley of the Elbe and joins the Leipsie line at Riesa and that which from Gorlitz leads by Bautzen upon the capital of Saxony, At nightfall the Saxon pioneers commenced their work, but im the dark, and ‘under constant apprehension ef being broken in upon by the Prussian advanced guands, they made but little progress. ihe rails were taken up, but were neither car- ried away nor twisted nor broken 50 as not to be again immediately available. At eleven o'clock at night the wooden bridge which carries the railway branches to Leipsic and Chemnitz across the Elgo, near Rreza, was set on fire by means of petroioum. Tis destruction was not accomplished, for only two piers were burned, and the whole bridge was again made passable by the evening of the next day. While the work of demolition went slowly on in Saxony heavy masses of Prussian scoops were drawing together and closing down to the very frontier line of that kingdom. Between Gérlitz ané the border on the west Prince Frederic Charles marshalled tbree stro: corps a while near Strehla on the north Gener Von Bittenfeld divided his force into three columns, £0 as to advance with a broad front and as quickly as possible on the railway jupetien at Riess During the few dark hours of the short summer night the last preparations for the invasion were made; the main bodies of the troops were all collectéd together about mid- night, and the soldiers piled arms to rest and wait for dawn. Few slept; a dull and heavy murmur continually rose from the crowded columns, and toid the subdued Dut deep excitement which pervaded the hearts of the men; and this excitement was not without a eause, for all thought the Austrian was in Dresden, and that there would be @ baxtle on the morrow. ‘The time passed slowly, and it seemed as if day would never break. At last the first faint streaks of dawn appeared, the eagerly fei) into their ranks, and, before the ‘sun bad risen, the “advanced guards were ‘bushing briskly over Saxon ground. The pioneers who were engaged on the railway fled before the foremost troops got mear them, fortunate to avoid being taken. What Saxon troops there were on the lines of the advance algo ret quickly towards Dresden, THE THEATRE OF ACTION, It must be borne in mind that in the theateo of war there are three rivers of the name-of Neiese. They are all, either directly or indirectly, effluents of the Oder, and are therefore not unlikely to be confounded with one another. The most westerly ot the threo is that whieh flows t this town (Gériitz). It rises in Bohemia, passes by ittau, forming, near that town, the defile by which Na- nleon {x 1813 penetrated into Bohemia, flows by:Ostritz, érlitz, Priebus and Muskau, communicates with the oe the Cottbus Cana, aud fipally falls into the ler. The next river of this name towards the east is an effuent of the Katzbach, itself an affluent of the Oder. This Neisse is distinguished as the W.thende, or raging Feiss». It rises near Hohenfriedberg, celebrated for the vieciory gained in 1745 by Frederic the Great over the ‘Austrians, passes by Jauer, ‘aud Joins the Katzbaeh ubout seven miles. above Leignitz, It wasbetween Jauer and ‘the confluence of those two streams that the battle of Eatzbach was lost by Vacdonald in 1813. ‘The Neisso river Which runs pa-t the fortross of Neisse, tho present headquarters of the Crown Prince, rises in the mountains south of Glatz; opens ‘by that fortress, and by Niesse,.and joins the Od r about twelve miles beiow Brieg. ‘It is to this river that the principal defiles Jeading through the Riesen Gebrge imto-Central Silesia aredue, BRIDGING THE ELBE. Bittenfeld, from the north, reached Riosa about nine o'clock, and occupied that town in force, Below the town two pontoon bridges were quickly thrown acro-s the Elbe, part of the troops crossed to the right bana and ,pushed on to Grossenbain, while anotier portion were directed up the left bank of the river towards Moiswen. REPAIRING RAILWAYS AND BRINGES. Aly had Bittenfeld’s troops established themselves in Ricea when a detachment of the Field Ra'iwuy Corps arrived from Berl restoration of the lines which had beon tara upon the railway, while the ploneers were set to repairde burned portion of the bridge.

The Prussion General Von Beyer, with the corps which ras concentrated at Wetzlar, has cecupt d Giessen, Mar- dourg and Cascel, and has thus cut off the direct raitway communication between Hanover and Frankfort-on-the- Maine. The Hanoverian army, wh.ch wee at.Gétth is making an attempt to get to Fulda, whither the troops of Electoral Hesse have moved to join it, but the railway from Géttingen to Fulda runs tb! h (easel, and i doos not appear improbable that, cut off from the south by von Beyer, and pressed in the rear by Falicenstein Manteufel, the Hanoverians may be obliged wo either my through with the Darmstadt troops corps.d’armée is said to have heen yoster- day pushed forward to Fulda to aid the retreat of the joverians. To understand the dificultios.of this re- treat it must be noticed that two lines of raliway lead from Géttingen into the valley of the Maine; the ome by Cassel, bo ghe boyy Se mg to Frankfort, ia already in possession of the Prussians at these three the other, by Cassel, pied by the Prussians at Casecl, verians cam reach Bebra and Fulda without being attacked in flank during their march from Got- = Caseel. The probability that the armies of the enemies will have to retire across the Main and to take up the line of that river against invasion from the north, for the madsive railway over that river at Lichtenfels is mined, and, it ie eaid, ready to be fired. This bridge carries the railway leading from Cassel by Bebra, Eisenbach and Coburg to Bamberg across the Main. {Frankfort (June 20) correspondence of Londan Times. ‘The entry of the Prussians into Hanoverian Narrieony? the occupation of the capital, and the restoretion by them of communications which the retreating Hanover- fans bad temporarily destroyed, w'll, doubtless, bave been fully reported to you.
