Napoleon's ms NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JULY 31, 1866—TRIPLE SHEET. arryreme Austria Accepts, The Paris ‘donieur of the 21st of July says that Austria has accegted the proposal of Prusma to abstain from hos- tilides, during which the Court of Vienna will have to notify its acceptance on the subject of preliminaries to peace, Austria to Retire from the Confederation. It is asserted from Paris that Austria has consented to retire from the German Confederation. The English Interpretation. The London Times, speaking before the Monileur’s an- nouncement, says if the report of the acceptance of the armistice be true it is a suspension of arms with a view of signing an armistice of six weeks, which period will allow ample time for the settlement of the details and the signature of peace. The suspension of arma implies a preconcerted agreement on the basis of pacific arrange- ments, Prussia would lose all by defeat at Floridssdorf and with victory could gain little beyond what she has already done, Austria, on the other hand, if defeated, would risk being swept from the face of Europe, while if victorious she could bardly hope to regain ber position in Germany. Prussinn Demands and Preparations. The London Zimes says that Prussia limits her de- mands very nearly to the exclusion of Austria from the new federal or imperial combination, She is preparing for a German war, England's Neutral Policy. In the English House of Commons, on the 20th of July, a long discussion took place on the condition of the ‘navy and on the position of Groat Britain in reference to the war on the Continent. Lord Stanley aseured the House that the foreign policy of the government was pacific and observant, but the mode in which the policy was to be carried out must be left to the government, Endorsed by the Peeple. The London papers generally express great satisfaction at the course pursued by Lord Stanley, the new Foreign Minister. Great Britain stands absolutely unpledged and uncommitted to any proposals beyond friendly mediation. All the government bas done bas been to recommend the courts of Berlin and Florence to consider terms of armistice. The London Times is glad that Lord Stanley is able to state that France has no intention of interfering by force in the continental dispute. The London News thinks there is not the slightest ground for distrust in Lord Stanley's assurance of Eng- land's severe discretion in the future, Prussian May Take Hanover. In the English Parliament Lord Stanley denied a stato- ment to the effect that England would not allow Hanover to be handed over to Prussia, The statement was en- tirely unfounded, The Commercial Effect. A despatch from Liverpool dated July 21 eays:— The announcement that Austria had accepted the pro- posals for the suspension of hostilities had caused great buoyancy in all markets, The prevailing opinion, especially among Germans, ‘was that peace is almost certain to be concluded, and consequently there will be no resumption of hostilities, ‘The Italian answer had not yet been received, There ‘were no reports of further fighting. IN THE FIELD. A Hage Austrian Force in Front of Vienna. A correspondence from Vienna states that the Aus- trian foreor gathered together for the defence of Vienna ‘are estimated at four bundred thousand men and six bundred field guns, It is said that one hundred thou- sand men are crowded within the intrenched camp of Floridisdorf. From sixty thousand to eighty thousand fresh soldiers from Venetia have joined, and everything betokens the coming conflict as inevitable. Confident in Battle. ‘The London Times correspondent says the eonfidence Of Austria is not shaken, A battie on the Danube may reverse the battle on the Elbe. Success is a necessity for the Prussians, The consequence of a reverse is beyond calealation. The Prussians bave marched five hundred miles into the enemy's country and have eft hostile fortresses in Oveir rear and on either flank. Prussian Invasion of Hungary. A portion of the Prussian army has croseed the rier Marsch, near Horits, in Hungary. The Austrian Generals. Archduke Albrecht had issued @ proclamation an. nouncing his assumption of the command of the Aus- trian army at Vienna General Benedek’s New Command.

The proposed truce between the Prussians and the Ba varians failed, The Bavariane declined to accept the conditions offered. THE WAR IN ITALY. ‘The Grent Naval Battle-Loss of the Ke @italta Iron-Ciad. Adespatch from Liverpool, of July 22, reports:— Im the great naval Oght off Lissa the Iialian iron-clad Re d'Italia was sunk by collision at the commencement of the battle, An fron-ciad boat blew up with all on board, amid orien of “Long live the King and Iialy!"’ from the crew. Italian accounts state that the Austrian squadron re tired after one man-of-war and two steamers had been sunk. A Vienna dexpatch says:—The Italian fleet, driven back, was being porsued by the Austrians in the dirce- |, tion of Ancona, Italian Reports. As alrendy announced the Italian fleet opened ne at- tack upon the Isiand of Lisea, on Me coast of Dalmatia, on the 18th of July. ‘Tho Italian offcial reports state that after seven hours’ obstinate fighting the fleet silenced the port of Bt, George, Description of the Re d’te ‘The fron-ciad frigate Re d'Italta, wi eonk by the Austrians, was built by William H.

Austrians Capitulate to Garibaldi A despatch from the headquarters of Garibaldi, dated Stord, July 19, says; in consequence of recent engage- ments, and the occupation of Combino and the Val de Ledro by the volunteers, the Austrians in Fort Angolia have been compelied to capitulate, conditionally, after An obstinate defence, Prince Carignano and the Minister of War bad con- Gratulated Garibaldi on his success, The Italian Advance. The Italian vanguard was at Piave on the 20th of July. The army had been separated into two corps, one un- der General Cialdini, consisting of fifteen divisions, and the other commanded by General La Marmora, composed of six divisions. The Austrian: the Quadrilateral. Intelligence received from Rovigo reports that the Austrians had erected batteries on all the roads leading to Padua, and that Brevion, the commander of the for- tress of Verona, had ordered the inhabitants to provide themecives with provieions for three months. Prince Napa! in Venice. Prince Napoleon arrived at Venice on the 19th of July. The Political Situnti A decree had been officially promulgated organizing an administration for Venctia. The Marquis Pepoli had been appointed Italian com- missioner at Padua, Signor Mardini at Vicenza, and Signor Alhevi at Rovigo. ‘The New German Parliament and Franchise. In Berlin, the Prussian Minister of the Interior had had interviews with some of tho leaders of the political parties in Prussia, in reference to the convocation of the German parliament. Some prominent men of the National party, belonging to the different German States, had been invited by the Prussian government to take part in the conference, The official journal says the Prussian government has no intention of controlling, but desires to give the Ger- man nation the benefit of its advance, and to consult for that purpose, regardless of party politics, those men who place national unity above all other considerations. OUR SPECIAL DESPATCHES. QUA BERLIN CORRESPONDENCE. The Prussian Troops in Pragac. Beni, July 14, 1866, Prague was occupied by the Pruesians on the morning of the 8th. It had been ovacuated by the Austrians several days befere, and the Prussian division of General Rosenberg, eight thousand strong, entered therefore without meeting with the slightest resistance, some patriots who talked of making the Bohemian capital a second Moscow baving wisely abandoned the idea of catehing a glimpse of the formidable needle gun. Tho Prussian General issued a proclamation promiking to maintain the strictest discipline, and to protect the por- sons and property of the inhabitants, adding, however, that the city and the kingdom of Bohemia would of course have to furnish supplies for the support of his troops. The reat of the Austrian government has been removed to Pilsen, near the frontier of Bavaria, ‘ for a time," as the Governor informed the citizens on taking leave of thom. Most likely it will be only for a time, a corps of 60,000°Pruasians, under the command of ( oral Vonder Marlbe, being on their march through Prague to Western Bohomila, toclear the balance of the kingdom of the Austrians, and to enter Bavaria from the east, while Falkenstein and Manteuffel are invading it from the orth. ‘This is the second time that the Bohemian capita! is in hands of the Prussians; the first was in 1744. In the Seven Years’ War it was besieged by Frederick the Great, after the famous battle gained ander its walle—the subject of the musical sympbony which has #0 often afficted our cara in days of yore; but the city was re- Meved at that time by Marshal Dann, who defeated Frederick at Collin, and obliged him to raise the siege and make the best of bie way out of Bohemia, In wealth, size aad population (nearly 150,000) it is the second city of the Austrian empire, and ite loss is a heavy biow to the im- Perial cause, THR MARCH SOUTHWARD, The grand Prussian army, under the nominal com mand of the King, but in reality under the able manage- ment of the chef d'état major, General Moltke, continues its progress southward unopposed by Benedek, or who- ever may be at the head of the movements of his army. On the 10th the advanced guard entered Moravia, and already on the 12th the royal headquarters were trans ferred to Czenehara, only Ofteen miles from Brunn, the capital of the Marquisate of Moravia. M, Benedettt, the French Ambassador, was in his Majesty's suite. Brunn ie no more than seventy miles from Vienna; not far from it lies the pattle Held of Austerlitz, which de. cided the fate of the Austrian monarchy in 1806, Whether the Austrians intend to make a stand between Olmutz and Brann, resting their right and left fanks on the two railroads that lead from Bobomite Vienna, or whother they will continue therr route to the Danabe, depends, probably, upom the course of the army from lhaly, which is belag conveyed across the ntains to the seat of war in the North with all possible despatch. Archduke Albert, the commander-inchief, wan ip Vienna several days ago, but it is not mentioned how moch of bie army be has brought with him. ‘The Prussians are persuaded that thoy will beat the army of the Sonth as easily and completly aa that of the North, If they do, Vieona will be at their feet and Austria will have to surrender at discretion. But the fortune of war in changeable, and, epite of the needle gun, it may be as well not to triumph {00 soon, AUSTRIAN MOVEMENTS IX AILIATA, By accounts reorived yesterday from Sitenia !t would al- most appear (hat the Austrians are attempting a diversion in the southeastern extremity of that province.

PRUSSIA MAKING A REVOLUTIONARY WAR. ‘On the part of Prussia the war it assuming a decidedly Tevoluitionary character, “War to the palaces and peace to the cottages’ was the motto of revolutionary France, “We carry on war against the princos and not aga pst the peoples,” says the Staats Ansciger, the official organ of the court of Berlin, For the mouthpiece of the Pruasian government, tho goverument of King Witham, the champion of legitimacy, and of Count Bismarck, the enfant galé of the fuderalists, to make use of such language is one of the most extraordinary facts of these extraordinary times, What is sill more extraordinary is that not only moderate liberals and members of the national Verein, such as Baron Roggenbach, ex-Minister of Baden, and M. de Benninghaus, the leader of the constitutional opposition m the Hanoverian Chambers, but advanced democrats like Kinkel and Arnold Ruge, who have both tasted the amenities of Prusman dun- geons, are coming out in favor of Bismarck and his policy. In the midst of the military operations the elections for the German Parliament are pot lost sight of. and it is openly apnounced that they are to take place according to the electoral law enacted by the tional Assembly of 1849-—that very Assembly whose members were dispersed, exiled, incar- cerated or shot by order of the same man who is now completing the work which they wore obliged to leave unfinished. And, strangest of all, while the most revolutionary measures are taken abroad the domestic system remains as despotic as ever, and not a single concession is made to the popular feeling of the country in return for the immense sacrifices entailed upon it, Some poopie ima- gine that at the meeting of the Chambers Biemarck will surprise the world ard belie his own antecedents by int- Using a liberal policy and restoring those rights of wh eh the nation bas so long been deprived; but as yet there is hot the slightest symptom of such a change, FIGHTING 10 THE DANCOE, In all probability they wiil fail right back to the Danube, leaving Olmutz to defend itself ax woll as it can against the Prussians; for that they should abandon that stronghold ontirely veems hardly credible. The earth- works that have been thrown up around Vienna and on | the banks of the Danube will now becom of the utmost iinportan in the open plain, as the Austrians have done hitherto, they will bave a line of im provised fortifications to shelter them similar to those that Proved so efficient at Sebastopol, and their troops must be demoralized indecd if they are noi able to keep the enemy at bey there for at Ipast some woeks, expecially artillery js allowed vo be equal if not #uperior to the Prossians’. ‘It t# no longer doubtfal,” sayna Prous eian military reporter, “that all the troopa that can be spared from the Ty from Galicia, and even from Cracow, are being drawn together at Vienna to join the Army of the North and replace the jones snstalned by it. Only from Hnngary no reinforcements are coming. It almost appears thot the imperial government ts atrald to denude Hungary too much of troops, ax the activity of the national Hungarian propaganda, which shows itself so plainly among tho prisoners of war taken by Prussia, i# beginning to cause a cortain agitation in Hungary iteetf.”” ibis contirms what was mentioned above, and seem to indicate that the Prussian govern. Ment are not without hopes of a diversion being made in the rear of the Avatrans by a Havgarian insorrection while they are being attacked in the front by the Pros- sian army.
