FOREIGN. THE EUROPEAN WAR. Three Prussian Armies moved simulta neously, about the 25th of June, upon the Austrian frontiers. The Army of the Elbe, forming the right wing, entered Bohemia by way of Saxony; the centre, under the Crown Prince, Frederick Charles, moved into Upper Silesia, and by way of Glatz took the same district on the flank, aiming, per haps, after beating the Austrians, to form a junction with the right wing, and move upon Prague. The third, or extreme, left of the extended and mighty host, moved in the op posite direction.from the centre,. and sought to penetrate Gallicia, or Austrian Poland, which borders on Silesia to the east. Of the subsequent movements of the right and cen tre, we gather the following summary. The Array of the Elbe having eccupied, Reichenberg on the 25th .of June, advanced, without meeting with any resistance, on the 26th to Turnau. Here a battle was fought, of which the Prussians say the Army of the Elbe took seven officers and five hundred men prisoners. The cavalry had several engage ments, and the Austrians suffered heavy losses. The 3d Corps took 1000 prisoners. An Austrian dispatch mentions that, subse quently, the Prussians advanced even so far as Gitschin (or Jicin,) bat at this place they were so thoroughly defeated by Gen. Edel sheim, that they had to evacuate Melnik, Daubs and Leipa, and retreat to Niemes, a town near the Saxon frontier. The Army of Silesia, under command of the Crown Prince, had entered Bohemia on the 26th of June, one column descending from the north upon Trautenau, and the other advancing from Glatz upon Ntuihod. Both columns were engaged with the enemy on the 27th and the 28th, the former at Trau tenmil the litter at Nachodand Skalliez. The Prussian dispatches in regard to this army are as follows : ".13Faum, June 29, 11.15. A. M. The Austrian's were defeated on the 27th and 28th inst., near Nachod, by our First Army Corps; on the 28th, at Trautenau; by, !the - Corps of the G-uards, and at Munchengratz by Prince Frederia Charles. At Trautenau the Aus trians had from 3000 to 4000 killed and wounded, and lost several thousand prison ers. Our loss at the same place was 1000. men. " BERLIN, aune 29, 1896.—The Corps of the Guards yesterday defeated the Tenth Austrian Army Corps, under Gen. Gablenz, after an obstinate engagement. The Aus trians lost several thousand prisons, some field pieces, and a large quantity of war ma terial. " Yesterday, the Prussian Fifth Corps, under Gen. Steinmetz, which, on the 27th inst., drcive back, the-Austrian Corps -to Jo sephstadt, again compelled" the enemy to retire after a severe contest., Numerous trophies wera'captured by the Prusians." The latest despatch from`the Austrian side triumphantly announces that the Prussians were finally, on the 28th, completely defeat ed, leaving one-third of their army killed and wounded, and, that they thereitrion with drew to Prussian territory, toward Glatz. On the other hand, there is a Prussian dispatch dated on the• field of battle, Man- chengratz, June 28. , 10 P. M., in the follow ing terms :—" Prince Frederick Charles has to-day driven back the Austrians from Podol to beyond Munohengratz with great loss, and has`made some 1000 prisoners. The Prus sian loss was inconsiderable:" Still another:— "BERLIN, June 29.—Prince.Frederick Charles in junction with Gen. Herrwarth Bitterfel d, captured Munchengratz yester day, after a successful engagement with the Austrians, capturing .800 prisoners. The enemy retired to Furbterilanek with the loss of 2000 men. The Piussian loss was much less." Furstenbriack hi; 25 or 30 miles within Bo hemian territory. Meanwhile Prussia continues to revolution ize in the smaller States who have dared to oppose her. Besides declaring the incorpora tion of the, territory of . Hesse Cassel,, as me understand, into . lier,Owa, she has replaed the principal functionaries in Saxony. and Han over. The opponents of Prussia in these States can do but little: 15,000 Baden troops will occupy a position between Darmstadt and Frankfort, and will be reinforced by available Federal fores. • . In Hungary, there is talk of an insurrec tion. against Austria. 'Divided counsels, however, are likely to rob it of efficiency. The first.we hear of it is, that a schism has taken place in the camp . of theliberals. The Deak party ispppoSed . to anyinsurrectionin Hungary unless Austria meets with a defeat from Prussia or Italy; while the other faction of the Liberals is in favor of' au immediate insurrection, which would assist Italy and Prussia. .The latter faction has extensive ramifications in Croatia, Dalmatia, and Illy ria. In Crotia especially, Italian sympathies are so strong that the provincei on the Adri atic have been declared is a state of siege. Here is the point where the interference of the Northern- bear may .be expected. A Paris paper; name mot giien—which throws some doubt on the statement—says that. the Prus sian Government has demanded ex:Variations Of the Cabinet 'or :St. Petersburg relative to the POncentration of Russian troops oa- the frontiers of Gallicia. The , Russian Govern ment replied that this concentration of troops I was not made with any hostile intention, and that the "Czar would not interfere in the Austro Prussian conflict. Prince Gortscha. key ' however, informed M. Bismark .that shatdd . oertain events take place‘ through the revolutionary .elenkent, a Russian army should enter Hungary:, This account coincides with a report that Russia had promised to occupy the western coast of the Adriatic; to protect itfrom the Italian volunteer& Other complications are hiiited• at.- It is said that Victor Emmanuel haa'reqUested the assistanee.of France, offering to Louis Napo leon in exchange.. the .island of Sardinia, in addition to: important 'poncessiona in the -Ito man question. It may also, be regarded, as certain, that offers in exchange-for assistance haVe been Made by Prussia: . no less than by Italy. One town in the Rhenish Provinces has, in particular, been 'mentioned as 'being proposed, together with the adjoining dis trict, which.-contains very valuable coal fields, as the prize of the French-Prussian alliance. Awe 29th.--The llanoverian army; 27,000 strong, surrendered to the Prussians, and it is deemed likely that. Hanover will also be absorbed by Prussia. ' • The' Austrians were greatly - exhausted by the fight of June 27th and 28th. A letter was fotind in one of the AuStrian camps, Written by an Austrian officer commading , the 16th Corps, the forces opposed to those of the Prussian Crown Prince, and addressed to Gen. Benedek, in Josephstadt, - Whieh offered complete proof that the forces under his command were thOronghly -exhausted..

In consequence of the suc cessful storming of Gitschin, the junction of the Prussian armies under the Crown Prince and Prince Charles, was completely effected. Gitschin was much damaged. A Gaollin telegram of July 2d, says that the Prussians have captured 15,000 Austrian prisoners since the 26th of June, and that 20,000 Austrians have been killed and wounded. Several battalions were coin-, pletely annihilated. The Saxon corps, the the Balik brigade, the Cliem Gallas corps, and the Gablenz corps are completely broken up, and for the present not in a condition to fight. The Austrian army retired to a strong position behind JoSephstadt and Konigratz, and according to the statements of some cap tured officers the soldiers were disoouraged and the army in a state of, dis , solution. Another dispatch announces the arrival' f the King at Gitschin, where: he was received by Prince Frederick Charles. The streets everywhere showed traces of an obstinate en gagement. The enemy•fled in disorder under cover of the night. The conduct of the Prus sian troops was excellent. .The. corps of guards repeatedly repulsed charges of (levelly without forming square. The head quarters of Prince Frederick Charles have been ' removed beyond Gitschin. But worse for poor Austria was yet to come. The greatest battle r and one which seems to be regarded as overwhelmingly de cisive of the conflict, was fought by the com bined forces of the Prussians and the chat tered Austrian army,. near Ludowa, July V. The Prussians were'commanded' by the King in person. They met the Austrians under Benedek, between Hoyt and Ircinigratz. The battle lasted twelve- hours. Until ten o'clock, A. M. the battle favorable to the Austrians, but after that time the advantages all were with thePrtis' sianti. • At 2`P.

M. were in lull retreat to &Di gratz,,porsned by the Prussian cavalry. The Anstrians were in a complete rout, the road being,strewn with baggage which they had threwh way.' The number of killed and wounded on both sides was great, but owing to tlie'eitent of the battle field it had not yet been ascertained. The Prussians claim to have captured, up to the evening of the 4th, 14,000=wounded prisoners, 116 cannon, and several flags. • . The Austrian 'Archdukes are reported wounded. Prins litehtenstein and. Prince Windischgratz ireretakeiiprisonets., Oeheril Madam, commander'd an AUstrian cora, lost a leg.

The Aus trians have done enough for the honor of their arms. They must now provide for the safety of the State. The most illustrious names in the empire are among the dead and wounded. The Paris,Moniteur of the sth makes the following atinclaucement An important event has just occurred. After 'having maintained the honor of his arms in Italy, the Emperor of Austria,con curring in the ideas expressed-in the .Ecupe ror Napoleon's - letter of jiine llth, to his Minister of Foreign Affairs, cedes Venetia to the French Emperor, and accepts his media- tion for the conolasion of peace. - The Emperor Napoleon hastened to re spond to the summons, and immediately com munioated with the King of Prussia,in order to obtain an armistice. The Austrian field marshal, Von Gablenz, arrived at the Prus sian headquarters, at Hoviiz, near Gitsehin, on the 4th of July, with a flag of truce. Italy.—At the battle of Custozza the Aus trian forces numbered 60,000. The First Army Corps, (Reserve), on the hights to the left of Valeggio, held in check an overwhelming number of Austrians, ,before which Gen. Crane (Cerale ?)'had been forced to , retire. Bixio's division-and" the, cavalry of the line proteeted'the retreat of the army,' which was effcted in good order. The Peanieli division took prisoners an entire battalion of A.ustrian chasseurs. The Italian cavalry had several engagements with the Austrians, *be sufferedleavY losses and the Third Army Corps took about 1006 prisoners. The. Italian losses are i great, but those of the enemy-` are -believed 'to be still more considerable. The Italian cavalry did not abandon their positions, nor were -they overcome until after the enemy had received reinforcements. Toward nightfall, both the Italians and Austrians retired from their re spective positions. Spain.—PubliC order had not been dis turbed in Madrid since the suppression of the military revolt on the 23d ult. A simultane- ous outbreak occurred at Gerona. Some companies of troops revolted under their sub &tern officers and proceeded toward the fron tier. The troops remaining faithlid were marching to cut off their retreat.' .

Tammuz wrrn - TUTIKEY.-A serious em broglio in our relations with the Divan has arisen, as follows :—Sarkis Minasian, who has for many years acted as the resident agent in Turkey, for the sale of Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co.'s medicine, driven by the increase of his business to a necessity for more room, built his warehouse in Constantinople several stories higher, after having obtained the necessary permit from the authorities. The Imans of a neighboring mosque, which over looked the premises, demanded a large pre sent of money, which was refused. They then applied to the Grand Vizier, for the en forcement of an obsolete law, which had been disregarded two hundred years, requiring him to take down the building to eighteen feet, which was granted, and they commenced the work of demolition. Minasian then ap plied to the American Minister, who notified the Sublime Porte that American property could not be thus trifled with, and that the demolition must cease. Then commenced the usual course of Massalmart prevarication and promises, but no real redress. Finally, Minister Mirris informed them that if their depredations continued, he should order the 13. S. ships of war to enter the Bosphorus add Messrs. Ayers' medical warehouse *ould, not be alone roofless. A stroke of, his pen could have laid the whole city under the sweep of American cannon, backed by men who are.not schooled in the lessons of fear. This brought them to their senses and speedy redress. Minasiaia has now arrived in this country, to present the case to our State Department for indemnity.
