In the last issue of the Rural we gave some ac¬ 
count of the great battle of Magenta, and the arri¬ 
vals during the week tend to confirm the French 
report of that engagement. The Allies entered 
Milan on the 7 th, when the municipality of that city 
issued the following address to Victor Emanuel:— 
“ The municipality of Milan are proud of being 
able to make use of its freshest privileges in being 
interpreter of its fellow-citizens at this great crisis. 
They are willing to renew the compact of 1848, and 
to proclaim again before the Italian nation the 
great fact which has required eleven years for full 
development in the intelligence and hearts of the 
people. The annexation of Lombardy and Pied¬ 
mont is the first step in the new way of public | 
right, which allows nations to be free disposers of 
their own destinies. The heroic Sardinian army 
and our brave Allies, who insist upon Italy being 
free, as far as the Adriatic, will soon achieve the 
magnanimous enterprise. Receive, sir, the homage 
of the town of Milan at our hands, and believe that 
our hearts belong entirely to you. Our cry is the 
King of Italy.”

has stripped the trees almost bare, and probably 
left nothing in the form of wheat and rye. Al¬ 
most all the windows which are not covered with

perfect ruin. It would seem as if it were impos¬ 
sible to add anything to the disaster, unless it be

Matters at Washington. 
The opinion among gentlemen connected with 
the diplomatic corps is, that although the govern¬ 
ments of Europe not engaged in the present hostil¬ 
ities are desirous and hope for peace, the compli¬ 
cations are so great that there is almost an impos¬ 
sibility of preventing a general war. In such an 
event there is no doubt that Russia will array 
herself with France. 
The U. S. Survejs in Utah, which were two 
years ago interrupted by the Mormon difficulties, 
are to be resumed immediately by Surveyor Samuel 
Stambaugh. The lands already surveyed amount 
to 2,000,000 acres. 
Private letters from El Paso and Arizona, the 
7th of June, state that the late attempt to revolu¬ 
tionize Chihuahua by Jose Maria Zuloaga, brother 
of the late President of Mexico, has been entirely 
suppressed, Zuloaga surrendering without a battle, 
and being pardoned. 
The people of New Mexico adhere to their deter¬ 
mination to take no part in the New Mexican 
election, on the ground heretofore stated in their 
memorial to Congress, of having no fair represen¬ 
tation or vote. No U. S. Court is held at Mesilla 
this year. Arizona will send her own delegate to 
Congress, and if Lieut. Mowry consents to run 
again, he will be re-elected to Congress as a dele¬ 
gate from New Mexico, without serious opposition. 
The Secretary of War has refused to permit any 
more officers on leave to depart for Europe. It is 
feared that they might join some of the armies, and 
in the event of being taken prisoners, would lead 
to serious complications, which our government 
desires to avoid. 
A dispatch from Washington says an unexpected 
obstacle has occurred in the settlement of the 
Central American question, on account of the 
hesitation of Nicaragua to consent to the relin¬ 
quishment by England of the Protectorate over the 
Mosquito Kingdom, upon the ground that if with¬ 
drawn the fillibusters would enter and sweep the 
country; Gen. Walker’s recent movements having 
produced alarm there; but the British Govern¬ 
ment denies having made any interference on this 
point, and expresses itself ready to carry out the 
arrangements conformably to the understanding 
at Washington.

a landing of troops would take place at Venice and

at Marseilles and Toulon.” 
Great Britain. —The “ motion of want of confi¬ 
dence,” pending in the House of Commons, men¬ 
tioned in last Rural, was carried by 13 majority, 
and the British Ministry resigned. Lord Granville 
was summoned, but was notable to form a govern¬ 
ment. Lord Palmerston agreed to serve under

From California or Oregon there is no news of

revolution in Chili is perfectly suppressed. Fre¬

throughout the country. The leader of the revo¬

Don Bartalone Riobo had been sentenced to death,

The English ship Indian Queen, Capt. Brewer, 
from Melbourne, for Liverpool, with 41 passen gers 
struck an iceberg April 1st. Capt. Brewer, the 
first mate, thirteen men and two passengers, got 
into a life-boat and came alongside a quarter of an 
hour afterwards, and, finding the ship making no 
water, attempted to get on board, but, losing their 
'hen too far off to catch a rope, drifted off

The account will not probably prove quite so bad, 
but the Chancellor of the Exchequer seems to wish 
to prepare the public for a consideration of the 
subject, by announcing that the financial measures 
in preparation arc of the gravest character. 
Prussia. —It is reported that the Prussian army 
cians into the Sardinian army. The answer is, that 
the Government thanks the Americans for their 
sympathy, but cannot avail itself of the offer. 
The schooner Exile arrived at New London on 
the 12th inst., after having made what is believed

Going into battle by rail, is one of the peculiari¬

The number of passports which have been issued 
during Gen. Cass’ administration of the State De¬

and some hundred. If each person, observes the 
New York Journal of Commerce, for whom a pass¬ 
port is taken, spends in a tour $500, the whole 
amount would be over $7,000,000. 
A severe hail-storm passed over the town of

Salvador. —An attempt had been mr-de to as¬ 
sassinate Gen. Hernandez, Governor of the De¬ 
partment of Cuscutlan, who was severely but not 
mortally wounded. The would-be assassin was 
shot. War seems inevitable between Salvador 
and Honduras, but it was thought Guatamala 
would interfere to preserve peace. 
Nicaragua. — Gen. Lamar had sent copies of 
Gen. Cass’ dispatches to the Government demand¬ 
ing acceptance of the Cass-Yrissari Treaty, ratifi¬ 
cation of the Mosquito Convention, re-installation 
of the Wright Contract, transit holders’ indemni¬ 
fication for the seizure of boats, and satisfaction 
and apology to the United States, for the insult of 
having offered them the Ousley Treaty. 
The substance of the Nicaraguan reply is as 
follows :—Nicaragua, as a sovereign power, claims 
the right to accept or reject a treaty. She had 
previously made three treaties with the United 
States, which were ratified by her Congress and 
rejected at Washington ; that on this one she only 
requires amendments, and that after the Congress 
considered the treaty last year, and it had been 
sent to Gen. Juarez in Washington, who had full 
power to remedy it, the Cabinet, though agree¬ 
ing to certain modifications, did not make them; 
nor was the United States’ Minister in Nicaragua 
authorized to do so. Furthermore, that when Sir 
Gore Ousley concluded his treaty, which was the 
Cass-Yrissari treaty, with the remodified amend¬ 
ments, according to the American view, Gen. La¬ 
mar made the Zeledon treaty, with the favorable 
amendments, as to England and the United States, 
of Sir Gore Ousley. The Government of Nicara¬ 
gua cannot see any insult to the United States in 
this. As to the Mosquito treaty, it has not been 
rejected, and will probably be accepted. Nicara¬ 
gua claims the return of the Mosquito territory 
unconditionally, and refuses to acknowledge a 
King whom neither she nor the United States 
ever admitted, and she prefers to let the matter 
remain in stain quo, than act against her ally. In 
regard to the service of the boats, Nicaragua jus¬ 
tifies her conduct.
