LATEST FROM EUROPE. ANOTHER BATTLE FOUGHT.

This Allltes Victorious. Sr. John, July 6. The steamer Adelaide has arrived at this Eort, ffom Galway the 25th ult., bringing ,ondon and Liverpool advices to Saturday noon, received by telegraph. The news is of a highly important character. A dispatch from Napoleon, of Friday evening, announced that a terrible battle had been tought and the allied forces achieved a great victory. The entire Austrian army had formed in line of battle, extending a distance of five leagues. The battle lasted from 4 o’clock in the morning till 8 at night. The French captured a number of flags, pieces of cannon and provisions. A dispatch from Vienna says a battle was progressing, but gives no details. The previous accounts from the seat of war, say the Austrian force was 280,000 strong, and that the entire French force had passed the Montechiaro, and their reconnoissance was said to have been pushed as far as Gato.and that the Peidmontese had advanced toward Peschiara, the north-west fortification of the historic square. Napoleon had demanded permission to march 30,000 troops through Hanover to the Rhine. It was believed that the basis of the proposed mediation of Prussia would not be acceptable. France and Prussia would thereby be involved in the war. It was also rumored that Prussia had threat ?ned to assist in suppressing the meditated insurrectionary movement in Hungary. The Swiss troops which were sent from Rome to suppress the Rising at Penijia, had had a desperate encounter with the people, shooting them down indiscriminately. Great Britain. —Parliamentary proceedings in England had been suspended until the ministers of the Government were elected. It was rumored that the new ministry would curtail the naval expenditures. The Emperor telegraphed the following to the Empress: Candia, Friday evening.—Great battle; great victory, the whole Austrian army formed a line of battle extending five leagues in length. We have taken flags, cannon and provisions. The battle lasted from 4in the morning till 8 at night. The Vienna dispatch supplies a partial confirmation of the above, in stating that the battle was progressing, but no details had been received.

SECOND dispatch. The Vienna correspondent of the London Timet says the pickets of the two armies were in sight of ach other, and scarcely a day passes without a slight skermish. Garibaldi was accomplishing remarkable feats in surprising the Austrians, making, marches of fifty miles a day, and setting the country through which he passes in favor ol national independence. There was an important omission iri Napoleon’s dispatch announcing the great battle as telegraphed from Cape Race. The Emperor says, “we have taken all the enemy’s positions, captured many cannon, Ac.” Additional intelligence concerning the battle was recived in London up to 2 o’clock on Saturday afternoon. The recent tumult in Venice was occasioned by rumors that the French had landed in Padua, and that Venice would be surrendered in three days. The people there began to mount their cockades with Italian colors, and crowds gathered in front of the Austrian commander's house and began to hiss. The Austrian patrols were ordered out but with instructions not to fire $ n the people if they could subdue tht'in otherwise, but being .received with insulting remarks they made an attack upon the mob with the butts of their muskets, and finally cleared the streets. The report that some of the people were killed by the militia is not confirmed. The official Sardinian bulletin of the affair ai Perguia between the people and the Papal troops, states that the Swiss troops attacked the town on the 20th, and met with great resistance, but after three hours’ fighting forced an entrance into the town. The combat was then renewed in the streets and continued for two hours longer. The Swiss troops trampled down and killed even women and inoffensive persons. On the next day the outrages and firing upon the people recommenced. The. town was placed in a state of siege. Advises from Malta state that eight steam vessels are ready for departure and it is asserted their destination is the Adriatic. The official Preusicbe Zeitung says the Sardinian army was moving near the frontier of Germany. The Prussian Government regards the security of Germany as entrusted t»its care. The Italian conflict is assuming ever increasing dimensions. England and Russia are arming on the greatest scale. The Prussian Government would be faithless to its duty and to the sense of nations, if she should neglect to act commisseratively with that spirit by which Prussia has become great. Prussia is free from every engagement. She obeys only those obligations which spring from the innermost nature of her State interest. It will soon be seen whether Prussia’s initiative will be supported with the necessary weight by the German St-tes. Prussia’s policy stands firm; whoever throws obstacles in her ways may consider that he is rendering service to the enemies of Fatherland. It was rumored in Paris on Friday that a corps d’armee of 40,000 men, mainly from African regiments, was expected shortly in the Adriatic. Dispatches from Milan confirm the report that the French troops are advancing toward the Vatteline. The Arch Duke Governor of Tyrol had arrived at Nanders to superintend the enrollment of 25,000 men in Tyrol and Varaes. Advices from Rome. ..say an attempt was made there on Sunday to display the tricolored flag and proclaim the dictatorship ol Victor Emmanuel, but General Gvon interfered. The Pope notified his protest against the dismerqberrnent of his States to powers represented at the Paris Conference. He had also communicated to his Cardinals a letter

from Napoleon guaranteeing independence to the Papal States. Advices from Constantinople say that Said Pasha had been summoned to send his contingent force to Renmelia, but replied that the indecisive policy of the Porte compromises Egypt, and that therefore he will send no succor, but will put his arm v on a war footing. Prussia, not Napoleon, as stated in last night’s dispatch, has demanded permission to march 30,000 troops through Hanover to the Rhine, between the first and fifth of Julv.

FOUR DAYS EATER. By another arrival four days later from Europe, we have the following additional details, which confirm the news of the great battle. There has been no movements reported by the allies since the battle of the 24t!i. The details of the action have not been received. The Austrian and Sardinian accounts report extraordinary heavy losses in killed and wounded. The dispatches from the Emperor Napoleon report the capture of 6,000 prisoners, 3 flags and 30 cannons. The Austna.i troops have recrossed the Mincio. Gen. Hess has been appointed Commander in Chief of the Austrian forces. A dispatch dated June 25, from the Emperor to the Empress, says the enemy withdrew last night, and that he slept in the room occupied in the morning by the Emperor of Austria. General Neil has been appointed Marshal of France. There has been no circumstantial account of the battle published at Paris, but private dispatches intimate that the French army has suffered so severely as to be una .le t assume the offensive. Vague rumors also put the French loss in killed and wounded at 12,000. The battle was fought at Salferino. Napoleon was constantly in the hottest part of the battle, and General Larrev, who accompanied him, had his horse killed under him. The Sardinians fought with great fury against superior numbers. The following are the orders of the day. published by Napoleon, after the battle of Salferino: “Soldiers: The enemy who believe themselves able to rep,ulse us from the Chiese, have recrossed the Mincio'. You have worthily defended the honor of France. Salf’erins. surpassed the recollection of Lonate and Castigliono. In twelve hours you have repulsed the efforts of 150,000 men. Your enthusiasm did not rest there. The numerous artillery of the. enemy occupied formidable positions for over three leagues, which you carried: Your country thanks you for your courage and perseverence, and laments j the fallen. \Ve have taken three flags, 30 cannons, and 5,000 prisoners. TheSardini- ■ .an army fought with the same valor against superior forces, and Worthy is that army to ! march beside you. Blood has not been shed in vain for the glory of France and the hap- . pi ness of tiie people.” The London Adviriiser. asserts that Loins Napoleon has made up his mind at the first j favorable opportunity to make a descent on ; the shores of Ireland. Austria. —The Vienna correspondent of | the London Times asserts that for the last ten years matters have been so terribly mismanaged in Austria tha*.,jt will be almost miraculous if the empire escapes dissolution. STILL LATER. Gen. Gyulai, ex-commander-in-chie. of the. Austrian army, has taken command as Co- > lonely o! a bearing his name. A i aris correspondent of the London Times says, in regard to the battle of Salferino, that Gen. Neil with 35,000 men and two divisions of cavalry, in all about 50,000 men, was engaged in forcing the Austrian center. After twelve hours fighting the Austrians brought up a reserve of 80.000 nd the allies their reserve of 50,000. It was a most critical moment, and in three hours more the fighting ended to the advantage of the allies. The Zouaves are said to he much cut up. The Chasseurs of Aieria were terribly treated—tour Generals being wounded and one killed. Orders had been received at Milan to prepare 14,000 beds for the wounded. Turin, June 28. The Piedmontese Gazette publishes the official details of the battle written the -ame evening according to positive information. Twenty-five thousand Surdin ans hold their ground against 50,000 Austrians woo occupied a formidable position, from which they were d-slodged bv the Sardinians under the order of King Victor Emmanuel. The Sardinian loss is said to be about 1,000 killed and the same number wounded. The details of the recent massacre at Peraegia by the Swiss soldiers state that neither sex norage were spared. Among the murdered by the soldiers after the fighting had ceased were thiee men, three married couples, five elderly females, a girl four years old and an infant torn from its mother’s breast and thrown into the Tiber. The London Times' Paris correspondent says that the Piedmontese were at one time during the battle of Salferino completely enveloped by the Austrians, but they recovered and repulsed the enemy, and kept their position with exceeding courage. Paris, June, 29. . Deserters from the Austrians state unanimously that there were 40,000 Austrians at Pozzolinga. This position fell to the Piedmontese.
