Matters at Washington. * 



There is such information in Washington as 

 warrants the belief that the recent change of the 

 British Mini-try will nut affeel the preseut position 

 of ber Majesty's representatives abroad, with the 

 exception perhaps of Lord Cowley at Paris. 



One of the conventions concluded by Minister 

 M'Lean with the Juarez Government, baa been 

 forwarded hither by him, and others are in a fair 

 way of consummation, there being no difficulties 

 about the preliminaries. While tbe import and 

 export duties at Vera Cruz hare considerably di- 

 minished in consequence of the unsettled affuirsin 

 the interior, the receip.s at the other porta on the 

 Mexican coast have largely increased. 



It is estimated that a reduction of from $200,0110 

 to $300,000 will be effected during the fiscal year 

 just commenced, by tbe retrenchments in the ex- 

 penses attending the collection of the custom reve- 

 nue now in progress. These will continue to be 

 made from time to time, os reliable information on 

 the subject shall reach the Secretary. 



A Washington dispatch to the N. Y. Time* soys 

 it is now understood that the Russians wholly re- 

 pudiate the Perkin's claim for ammunition con- 

 tracted for during the Crimean war, as being 

 entirely without merit or proof. 



A dispatch to the Tribune says an effort is being 

 made by interested parlies, both in Washington 

 and in New York, to press upon the administration 

 a treaty w jth Mexico, stipulating lor a perpetual 

 right of way for the Tehuantepcc and other routes 

 to the Pacific, and a right of a way on the line of 

 the line of the RioGrnnde to the Gulf of California, 

 for the consideration of $'25,000,000. 



Among the measures contemplated in our inter- 

 course with Mexico, i-. a limited reciprocity treaty, 

 This, however, will not be proposed during tbt 

 pending negotiations on other subjects.

 Insurance Companies some $10,000 forthewal 

 used in txlinguishing tires. Tbe reason for tl

 gainers by this expenditure.

 tional independence, the dignity of man as man,

 when the darkness broke, he had the wit to die." 



Arrival of tab Oveblano Mai i,— The overland 

 mail arrived at St. Louis on the 5th inst., with 

 California dates to the 13th ult. Business at San 

 Francisco continued dull, and most of Ihe leading 

 slaples had declined. Money was scarce, but the 

 next shipment of treasure to the eastward would 

 be large. The accounts from the mines continue 

 favorable. Advices from Oregon state that the 

 Legislature bad adjourned wilhoutclecting a U. S. 

 Senator. Advices from Frazer River mines con- 

 tinuc unfavorable. Crowds of emigrants were re- 

 turning to California, and many others were set- 

 tling in Oregon and Washington Territories.

 Iract from a tetter written by an officer of the U. 

 S. steamship Mississippi ;— " Simoda, Japan, April

Tue TikE's Plak Gold Stories.— Advices re- 

 ceived in Leavenwurth, July 2d, state that the news 

 from Pike's Peak is still encouraging. A letter 

 fiom Horace Greely says there is gold in paying 

 quantities. Some claims were yielding $600 a day. 

 A hundred dollars per day for each sluice, was con- 

 sidered a fair average. New and rich discoveries 

 were being made every day, and it was calculated 

 in by nest

Austrian correspondence contains the following 

 " Day before yesterday the Austrian army crossed 

 the Miucio at four points, and yesterday camo up- 

 on the superior force of the enemy in tho Chiese. 

 After an obstinate combat of twelve hours our 

 army withdrew across the Mincio. Our head- 

 quarters are at Villa F'ranca." 



The London Times says the Austrians have most 

 candidly admitted their defeat, and that history 

 scarcely records a bulletin in which such a disas- 

 ter is more explicitly avowed. 



The Paris Presse says that private messages from 

 Berne are spoken of, which put down the Austrian 



i-Oiitbat, l.'\ULIU made prisoners, together with l-l 

 Hugs ami 7o pieces of cannon. 



It. is inferred from the telegraphs that the French 

 army suffered so severely, that two days after the 

 battle it was still unable to resume the offensive- 

 There were vague minors of 10,000 to 18,000 French 

 troops killed and wounded.

It was reported that the Emperor of Austria

The Nord publishes tbe following, dated Berlin, 

 .dun 1 91st —At a military conference held yester- 

 day, it was resolved tbot the Guards ihall remain 

 at Berlin and Pottsdam. and six regiments of cav- 

 alry and infantry shall be cantoned m the province 

 of Brandonburg. Three corpt a'jrw:,, will take 

 up positions between the lower and central Rhine. 

 Two other corpt, ,1'arnuc will be stationed npon 

 the upper Rbiue and the river Maine. One of ihe 

 corps will proceed to its destination through Sile- 

 sia, Saxony and Bavaria. Thedeparlureofiroopa 

 will loke place nbonl ihe first of July.

 Government has refused to allow Prussian troopa 

 to pass through its territory, until the Prussian 

 Cabinet shall have answered the series of ques- 

 nnd purpose of the reso- 



of destrui 



dred ond twenty Uat-bott. m boats, keeled with 

 iron and filled with cannon, are, it is said, to 

 ascend Ihe Adigc and the Po. If Venice falls, the 

 fleet may land a corps d'arrru* on the Adige, and 

 lake tbe Austrians in ihe rear, while the land army 

 attacks them in front. 



PitnssiA. — The oflSoial Preusnischt /.,/:,.-,./ of 

 Wednesday, says the French and Sardinian army 

 is moving near tho frontiers of Germany. The 

 Prussian Government regards the security of 

 Germany as intrusted to its care. Tbe Italian 



England and Russia are arming on the greatest 

 sculo. Tbe Prussian Government would be faith- 

 less to its duty and to the sense of tbe nation if 

 she should neglect to act commensurably with 

 that spirit by which Prussia has become great. 

 Prussia is free from every engogement. She obeys 

 only those obligations which spring from the in- 

 most nature of her State interests. It will soon 

 be seen whether Prussia's initiative wilt be sup- 

 ported with tbe necessary weight by the German 

 States. Prussia's policy stands firm, and whoever 

 lays obstacles in its way may consider that be is 

 rendering service to the enemies of his fatherland. 



Ti'BKET.— Advices from Constantinople say that 

 Said Pacha had been summoned to send his con- 

 tingent to Rommelia, but replied that the indeci- 

 sive policy of the Porte compromises Egypt, and 

 that therefore he will send no succor, but will put 

 bis army on a war footing. 



Rome.— Advices from Rome say that an attempt 

 was made to display the tri-colored Hag and pro- 

 claim for the Dictatorship of Victor Emanuel, but 

 General Gorgon interfered to prevent. The Pope 

 has notified his protest against the dismember- 

 ment of bis States, to powers represented at the 

 Paris conference. He had also communicated to 

 Ihe Cardinals a letter of the Emperor Napoleon, 

 guaranteeing independence.

Ohoehs have been given for introducing athletic 

 games aud gymnastic exercises in Ihe British i 

 Tbe idea is derived from the French. Tbe Zo 

 are truiued gymnasts, aud are as agile as so many 

 Ravels. Their exploits in scaling ramparts are al- 

 most incredible. They climb over each other's 

 backs, making a ladder of their bodies against I 

 wall. The exercises are promotive of health, as 

 well as of efficiency in the hour of action. 



Tin: correspondent of the London Times writes, 

 "Tbe batlle of Magenta was 'regular slaughter- 

 house work,' in Ihe performance of which ihe pur- 

 ties concerned displayed equal skill and resolution. 

 The retreat was made wilh such extreme rapidity 

 that the men, who had no time to prepare their 

 food, fell to the earth completely exhausted by 

 beat, hunger and thirst. A medical man who is 

 with the army, says that Ihe first things required 

 by the wounded men brought into the hospitals are 

 ' food and drink.' This remark confirms me in the 

 belief that the train was unable to keep pace with 

 the atmy." The following short passage from a 

 letter written at Binasco by a correspondent of one 

 of the Vienna papers, probably gives a correct ideo 

 of tbe battle of Magenta: — " In hardly any battle 

 was so much blood shed iu so short a time. The 

 bullets of tbe French came into our ranks like 



I .■! -

ordo 



very many of our valiant fellows fell to rise no 

 more. You will be able to form a correct idea of 

 the way in which the officers fought, when yon have 

 been informed that one battalion of tbe 'Kaiser' 

 regiment of the line was brought back by a ser- 

 geant, and onother by a lieutenant."
