General Gablenz was sent a second time to the Prus- sian headquarters, offering to evacuate the fortresses of ‘Theresienstadt and Josephstadt in rotura for a truce of four weeka, or even of fourteen days; but the King or rather Count Bismarck, regarded this as only a manceuvre of the Aurtrians to gain time forthe army of Italy to come up, when they would be abie to resume hostilities with a better chance of success than at present, and the proposal was therefore declined, The Prussians are determined to profit by the consternation of their adver- saries, and to push forward on the high road to Vienna without a moment's delay. On the 9th their main army left Pardubitz, and was to arrive yosterday at Zwittan, the Jast Bohemian town, only five miles from the frontier of Moravia, and not above two days’ march from Brinn. PRUSSIANS IN BRONN. ‘The occupation of Brinn will give them the command of the railway to Vienna, and force the Austrians cither to retreat upon the capital, or throw themselves into Olmiits. In the latter event Vienna will be open to the Prussiane, and the communication between the army of Italy and the debris of the army of Bohemia will ‘ve completely cut off; in the former the great and almost impregnable fortress of Olmiitx will have to be aban- doned, and not only Gallicia but Hungary will be expored to an irruption of the enemy. Under these circum. stances the appointment of General Klapka, the famous defender of Komorn, in Berlin, is a very significant fact, It is understood that he is to take the command of the legion which is being formed of Hungarian prisoners and deserters, and which may easily penetrate into Hungary through the narrow strip of Austrian territory that inter- venes between Silesia and (he passes of Jablunka The whereabouts of Benedek's army seems bea ‘upeertain, nor is it known whethor Benedek is stil it at the head of it, One account eays that he has been suj by old Field Marshal Hees (who lost the battle of ino}, while according to another Gen. John (pronounced Yone), chief of the staff of Archduke Albert, and to whom the victory of Custozza is mainly attribatable, has been sent for from Italy to assume the sn) command tm the north. ‘Whether he will be able to cet the army into fighting order in is extremely dqubtful; it appears to be ina state of total dissolution. Every day as the Prussians advance they fin@cannon, arais, ammunition wagons and war material of all kinds, which have been abandoned by the Austrians to facilitate their retreat, and hundreds of Prisoners surrender without resistance to the Prussian outposts, Up to yesterday the number of gans captured tm the battle of Kéniggnitz and Lye pursuit amounted to po less than one hundred eighty. THE PRACE PRINCIPLE ACKNOWLEDGED, Notwithstanding the rejection of the armistice the peace negotiations are by ne means discontinued; on the contrary, France yrs herself more zealous ever in endeavors to bring about an under. jing between the contending ied =On Monday ht the French ambareador, M, Honedetti, started for the Progeian headquarters, secompanied by his Secretary of Legation, who bad arrived here the same ¢: Paris with {important despatches, and be was yesterday morning by the Italian Minister, Count Barral. Both Prustia and Italy have the mediation of France om principe; but this goes very little way towards & pacification until rome basis is proposed on which it may be concluded. The of Austria says in his manifesto that he is ready to “an honorable peace ;"" but the question i” what he calls an honorable peace, aud what is one that “he would carry on # war of life and death rather than coment to.” Venetia he tas al- Teady given tp, aud that, of course, would satisfy Italy clared itself en and a resolution has been brought in for trans(erring ils seat to Ratisbon, ITALY. . (UR MILAN CORRESPONDENCE, Miran, July §, 1866. THE CAPITAL AS A NEWS CANTRE Milan, which is just now the real capital of Italy—the point at which the national vitality ts most concentrated aud most active—ts # wonderfully excited city. It stands near to the centre of the front that Italy presents to Austria, with Cremona the headquarters of the regu- lar army on its right hand, and tho Lake Garda coun- try, the scene of Garibaldi’s operations, on ite left, and itis ataeafe distance behind the Oglio, the line now held by the Italian army. All accounts that it is possi- Die to get of the operations on either hand come to- gether here and moet here with all the nows of the other side of Europe. It is a meeting of important despatches from all these quarters that has so excited the city just at present. RRORGANTIING AND. ADVANOING, From the army wehearof the possibility of another forward movement Since the battle of the 24th, the army has hold the tine of the Oglio, and the werk of reorganization has been pushed forward with the utmontenergy. All Italy feols that this is not the hour for the main force to stand etill, and now comes word that a’ter a Cabinet councli, which lasted all night, the Baron Ricasoti departed this morning for the head- quarters of the army. ‘GARIMALDI DEFEATED. ‘Close on the heels of this anmouncoment came the mews that Garibaldi had hada battle in the mountains, and that the reoult of it was not partioularly glorious for | Italy, ‘The first Sfficial smnouncement ef the fight at Monte Sacedo showed that the government found it im- possible te disguise the fact that Ganbaldi had suffered a dofeat, ‘The simple fact was that on his way to the Tyrol he had arrived at tho first fortified position—had atrempted to storm it and had absolutely tailed; and then the despatch dwelt—as official despatches always do—upon the good order with which the volunteers had returned to the position hotd before the battle, and mentioned Garibaidi’s wound. Another and subsequent bulletin an- nounced that the Austrians had retired from the contest 'd pein after the battle, and this was expected to trans- form the reported defeat into a victory. WHY THR AUSTRIANS RETIRED, Perhaps a more rational interpretation of the Austrian retirement would be that the position was of go little importance in the defence of the Tyrol that the Austrian commander could afford to relinquish it, even after hay- ing demonstrated his ability to hold it. What is one little hillin the Alps and at the very commencement of the journey, in which, perhaps, there are a thousand other hills that will be harder to take? TTALIANS REJOICING OVER BADOWA. But the greatest news of to-day is the victory of the Prussians in Bohemia—a victory that has filled Italy with rejoicing, A DAMPER FROM PARI, In company with the news of the Prussian victory comes @ nyte of twenty lines from the Paria Mont'eur, and Aare pod a lines Ae else. The Pesce a pro} jon to eon, leon’s suggestion of an armistice are the only topica of discussion.

PRACE PROBABLE, Italian pride feels if the war ends now Italy will come out of it with small accession of honor, and, therefore, the popular sentiment would continue the war. But the she has just given, and therefore there will soon be im ail ility, however bitter the dose may be to ‘those who long to wipe out the memory of the defeat of the 24th. VENETIA. OUR VENICE CORRESPONDENCE. Vemica, Jaly 6, 1868, NEWS OF INK ARMISTICE PROJECT IN VENICE, AND AN EX- TRAORDINARY EFFECT. Last night and to-day an opportunity has been offered of studying the Venetians under a new aspect. About eight o'clock in the evening, the individuals who made ‘up the groups around the numerous cafés in the Piazza San Marco, for the most part so quiet and impassive, be- gan to approach each other more closcly than usual, and after short and, apparently, earnest discussions, fly off from each other like objects in a kaleidoscope, to form new combinations in other and unexpected places, The vicinity of the cafés becomitg shortly over- crowded, the groups began to arrange thomselves to- ward the centre of the piazza. Thon there was a per- ceptible breaking off of individuals, singly and in pairs, in hurried tangeuts, from their nuclei, towarda the sides of the piazza, and from thence out by the various pas- sages that lead to the different parts of the city, the absence of these, however, being more than compensated by the arrival of others—the whole presenting a scene similar to the first upheaving of a great revolution, but which, in reality, was nothing more than the natural desire on the part of the actors in this scene, to mako themselves masters of the contents of a recent tele- cram, Upon inquiry it was found that the telegram said something about an “armustice.”” This one word, as it ‘was parsed from month to mouth, seemed to produce on each recipient the same effect—a feeling of mingled be. wilderment and distrust—alike on the frequenters of the Café Florian and the opposite Speccht; the first patron- ized by the Italians and the latter by the Anstrian of\- cers and their adherents. THe NRWS It wae not without repeated and persisient inquiries that the telegram which was causing this commotion could be got in extenso; and even whon obtained, was fonnd vague and indefinite enough, reading as follows -— “Armistice, Austria, Prussia, Italy.” About ten o'clock the excitement and bewlldermont was increased by a fresh telegram not less exciting or vague than the previous one. The sum and substance of this was “Ces- sion of Vemice."’ ‘The receipt of this unexpected reinforcement to the former despatch, instead of «atixi ying them, eeemed only to whet their appetites for more, as they continued to hang aronnd the pinzvas in anxious expectation, filling } howd time in discussing the origin and direction of the above, POPELAR CONCLUSIONS. They were ail agreed that they came from Vienna, but ‘were divided asto whom they bad been communicated, Some insisted that they were to the French Consul there, while others were as positive that the members of a banking house here were the recipients, From there diverve statements arose two classes of conclusions, one of which was that the armistice was the work of t Emperor Napoleon, to whom Venetian bad been subac- quently ceded—to be in turn, if nothing intervened, ceded to Italy for a consideration; the other was that it was merely a speculative trick of the bankers.

The weather for the two orthree previous days was not encouraging, and even on the morning of the event it was gloomy and de- pressing, and doubtless deterred many from participating in the féte.

Bratrx, July 7, 1866. ‘The birthday of the American republic has always been dnly honored in Berlin, and thie, the nineticth an- niversary of the glorious day on which it was first pro- Claimed to the world that “‘all men were free and equal,” was kept by the American residents of Berlin with all the greater enthasiagm from the pleasing recollection that at last m their happy land these words, so grand in their simplicity, have now become truth. A numerous company of United States citizene and German friends, both ladies and gentlemen, areembied under the auspices of Governor Wright at Charlottesburg, the heat of the weather—moderated, however, on that day by a refresh- ing shower—having rendered it desirable to exchange the close and dusty city for a more rural place of ren- dezvous, Dinner was served at six o'clock P. M., grace being said by the Rev. Mr Briggs, of New York, and after euf- ficient justice had been done to the good things provided by the landlord of the Turkiste Zolt, the Ambassador rose to propose the health of the King and Queen of Prussia, Since the first existence of the United States as & nation, be remarked, unbroken friendship had pre- vailed between her and Prossia, or rather between her and Germany, of which Prussia was but apart. Their interosts were identical and never could come into col- livion, and five millions of Germans, adopted citizens of the Union, industrions, educated, law-abiding citizens, formed the bond between the two paitons whieh nothing could ever sever, Prussia, Germany, bad sympathized with America in her domestic troubles.
