TBI NEWS IN VIENNA. The Wiener Abeiidpost (evening edition of the official Wiener Zeitung of Vienna) of July 2 says: Authentic inteiugence received nere irom toe headquarters of tbeAimvof the North states that Field-Marshal Benedek has found it neces sary, from strategetical reasons, to take up a position between Koniggratz and Josephstadt. no lunuer attacK nas oeen miuio on tnifl posi tion, nor has there been any fresh flghtinir. a proof that the Prussian losses in the late battles must alee have bean considerable, and that their troops are much exhausted. This has been prin cipally caused by the Austrian artillery. Tbe first Austrian array corps and the Baxon army have loined the chief Austrian army, and are ready tor action. The best possible spirit and the most undaunted courage prevail in the army. Important events are expected within the next few days. MARSHAL BENEDEK REPORTS HIS LOSS AND OHANOE OF POSITION.

We must further conclude that the Feld-Zeug-meister. beimr unmlling to subject his army to further severe losses, has fallen back in the direction of Koniererat, with the intention of attacking the euemy as t oon as he may thinK fat to ouit tbe oosluon which be now occupies, The courage and constancy of our troops, and the well-known enerev of their commander. render it probable that the enemy will soon be deprived ot any advantages wnica ne may nave obtained.

Thouirh it waB yesterday evening known that the Feld-Zeuemeister von Benedek had failed in his atteippt to cut off the corauiunlcation be tween the Prussian armies under the command of the Crown Prince and Prince Frederick Charles, the public was not prepared to hear that the Saxon troops and the left wing of the Austrian army had been defeated and forced to retreat in tne airectiuu ui rmfuc. The news was communicated to the inhabit ants ol this city by means of an extraordinary supplement to the Werner Zeaunq, which was published and posted at an eariy nour inis morning. THE EFFECT IN PRAGUE AND VIENNA The inhabitants of Praeue and Vienna are in great consternation, and on all sides it Is asked how tbe Emperor could allow Count Clam Gallas to retain command of the 1st Corps d'Armee, he having, during the war in Lorn- bardy in 1P60. given multifarious prootsot in capacity. You may, perhaps, recollect that I, about two months ago, puniiciy stated that ueu. von Benedek was lotn to have uenerai uoudi Clnm Gallas placed under his command. The commander of the 1st corps d'Armee belongs to tbe Gyulai school, and is totally unable to keep pace with such go-ahead soldiers as Gablenz, Bamming, and Edelsbeim. Up to two days ago almost all tbe fighting had been done by the 6th and loth Corps d'Armee (Lieutenant-Generals von Ramming and Von Gablenz) and the 1st Dieht Cavalry Division, under Major General Edelflheim.

R3FORT OF THE CROWN PRINCE OF TRUSSIA. The following despatch has been received in Beilin from his Royal Highness the Crown Prince: Beinerz, June 27. I have most respectfully to report to your Majesty as follows upon the events of to day : On the utternoon of the 2tit'a (eneral you Stcinmetz had pushed forward his vanguard under Malor-Gencral von Lowenleldt towards Nachod. Alter a short engagement the latter trot possession of the passT which was abandoned by tbe Austrians with a loss of eighteen killed. Tbe vanguard threw out skir mishers in the direction ot Skalitz. At halt-past nine this morning the vanguard was sharply attacked by two brigades of the 6th Austrian corps, well provided with artil lery, and followed by a third brigade as support. The Prince Holstein heavy cavalry division at the same time appeared upon the field. By the efforts ot the vanguard, which withdrew slowly skirmishing, time was gained for the main body of the corps to emerge from the pass and reach the heights immediately in front. At this moment I caoie up in good time from Brau nau. As the trocps arrived they were immedi ately thrown forward to hold the nearest heights, the Kirchbach division to the right and the Lowenleldt division to the left. The eutire artillery, ninety guns, was brought up into the line of battle, to meet which the euemy was reinforced by the last brigade ot the 6th Corps, and its reserve artillery. The advance of the enemy was soon checked, and as soon as our corps, strengthened by an infantry regiment and reserve, had taken up its position, we were enabled energetically to assume the offensive. Tbe hostile Prince John's Cuirassier Brigade was defeated Dy a Drimant charge 01 the 1st Uhlans and 8th Dragoons, under General von Wnuck, atter a roost desperate hand-to-hand combat. Each regiment captured a hostile standard. General von Wnuck. Colonel von Treskow. and Lieutenant-Colonel von Wichtmann, the com manders ot both regiments, received honorable wounds. Tbe infantry, whose fire had been of admira ble effect, attacked at various points with the bayonet, and took possession of the advanced woodland and surrounding ground, in these operations the flag of the Third Dentschmeister battalion fell into our bands. Towards 3 P. M. all the enemy's troops were in retreat, followed up by the fire of our artil lery. Une detachment ot the 1st Uhlans suc ceeded in capturing two guns; three others were abandoned in the hasty retreat. Tbe cavalry. supported by some ot the infantry, engaged in temporary pursuit, while the brigade of tbe 5th Corps that came up towards evening, undertook the vanguard. I returned to Nachod about 6 o'clock, after I had seen almost all the troops that had been engaged upon the field, and had thanked them Id vour Maiesty's name. The battle ot to-day is an honor to uenerai von Stetunsetz and the fifth army corps. I can' not sufficiently praise the extraordinary cool- net-8 of the young troops. All arms have vied most gloriously in the discharge ot tbeir duty. Tbe needle gun effected considerable slaughter, ami caused the failure of all the enemy's attacks, which were undertaken with great intrepidity The artillery displayed rare powers of endurance in race 01 tue hostile nre. at nrst greatly suoe ricr, and the cavalry showed itself more than a match tor tbe much vaunted Austrian horse, Upon the Austrian Bide twenty-eight battalions weie under fire, from all of wbich prisoners have fallen lute our hands. The fifth corns, on the other band, had only twenty-two battalions to oppose to oppose to this force, and of these the troops kept in reserve only came under tbe fire of grenades.- The brilliant success of the day has been purchased with comparatively slight lOi-S. From all I have seen, I estimate it at from 600 to 600 men, among whom are a very con slderable number of our brave officers. In addition to those already mentioned among the superior grades, I have to report Major you Natzmer, of tbe 8th dragoons, killed; Mdor George von Ullech and Colonel von Walther, commander 01 tne 4tn j&egimenr. wounded The enemy's loss Is, on the other hand, very lnree. over zuuu prisoners are in oar hands. His dead lay in many placs In haps, so that I estimate ms totai loss at over tuuu men. The trophies taken are tbe above-mentioned five guns, one flag, and two standards. I shall not tail to forward to your Majesty as soon rs possible, further details and a special liBtof losses, together with the names of those who had the opportunity of specially distinguishing themselves.

The subjoined despatches were forwarded bv Maifhal Benedek to the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria during the action at Skalitz: Eieht in the morning The action is com mencing: pray to God 1 Noon The battalions are wavering; pray to Gcp ! rour in the afternoon The Prussians aic beaten; return thauki to God I Tha Battle of Catizi. REPORT OF THE ARCHDUKE ALBERT OF AUSTRIA- The Archduke Albert has addressed to tbe Eu peror ot Austria a report of the baitlo of Custozza, of w bich the following are the princi pal passBi.cs: The cavalry brigade of Colonel Pulz had ordeis to retire slowly by Villalranca to Verona, and to avoid any serious cneagetnent; but, at the same lime, to remain continually in contact with tbe enemy. It is known that our adversary had not ob served the delay of three days tixed by himelf for the commencement of hostilities, lor on the 21st of June he had already commenced erecting r bridge at Molina di Volta, near Pozzolo, with out being Impeded from our side. On tbe 22a of June the enemy, not without some hesitation, passed the Mincio near Goito, Pozzolo, Valeggio, and Mopzambano. Oa the morning of the 221 the detucaments of the Pulz brigade evacuated Villalranca, atter having col lected together all other detachments stationed to the south. The enemy occupied Villalranca only at 2 o'clock in the afternoon by Bersaglieri, and threw strong columns of cavalry, with artillery, in the direction of Dossobuono, where, towards 4 o'clock, some canuou shots were ex changed with our cavalry bricade, which bad encamped during the nights of the 23d and 21th June near Fort Giselu, Hatf Colonel Baron von Ruber, sent out to reconnoitre on the morning of tbe 23d, an nounced to me at 2 o'clock, from Som ma Cain pagna, that that point, as well as tne neighbor inu mamilons to the south, weie not occuoied by the enemy, but that long lines of dust to the south ot viuairanca indicated the enemy's march tow ards the cast. I therefore took the resolution to occupy that same day the heights between Somma Campagna aud Sandra. Ihe brigade under Colonel Prince von Saxe- Wnmar. belonging O the Ueserve Division ol Cavalry, advanced towards Sandra, with orders to send detachments as far as Castelnuovo. Tbe 5ih Corps marched on Sona, end pushed forward outposts towards Zcmare. In the same manner the Hth Corps took up a position on the 23d at Santa Lucca and the 7th Corps at Massimo. These two corps had to guard these positions during the night, notwithstanding that the 7th Corps in particular had during tbe day effected, in an overpowering near, tne tatiguing march Ircni San Bonifacio to San Massimo. At 3 on he morning of the 24th the 9th Corps advanced n a struieht. line upon Somma Campatrna: while the 7th Corps, intended to serve as its reserve, took the direction of Soua. The 6th Army Corps received orders to occupy early San Giorgio, In Salice, maintaining at tbe same time its position at Sona until ibe arrival ot tbe 7th Coips, while the division of intantry would occupy Catelnuovo. Eight squadrons were taken from ihe cavalry reuimcnts bclonirinir to the different armv corps to reinforce, under the ordeis of Colonel Beranovics, the Pulz Briga le, which was under instructions to advance ou tbe 24tb on tbe left wing of the Uth Corps, towards Custozza, and thus to cover the Jelt flank of the army. The enemy, who had occupied during the night of the 2:id, Vil lalrunca, Custozza, Monte Mamaor, and Monte' vento, and pushed forward his left wing as far as Castelnuovo, must have been apprised of our army having marched from Verona, for at the break ot day his outposts bad been advanced on the line trom San Kocco di I'alezzuola to Fcnile Corte and Oliosi. This last Dointesne- cibiiy waB strongly occupied. The successive appearance 01 large columns on Mount vento, mount juamaor, mount uocio. etc., as well as the array of cavalry and intantry near Villa lranca and to the south of Somma Compagna, proved to me that the enemy, finding himself n front ot the whole Austrian army of opera lion, had recalled all his columns previously Bent out towards tbe east. About 7 in the morning a heavy artillery fire began, while the reserve division UDon the right wing, near Alzaiea, the 5ih Corps to the east 01 Dan uiorgio, in Bailee, and the Uta corps. at iomroa lampagna and z-erDare, came into act jn. Our artillery tire was maintained wuh coolness and admirable precision, and produced a considerable effect, although the euemv suc cessively brought into line a superior number of pieces. I ordered the 8th Corps to maintain itself under all circumstances at Somma Campagna and uton the heights of Casa del Sola, and to Dush forward vigorously, should it be possible, towards Custozza, Dy way ot utalialo. The sap between the 9th and the 6th Corps was filled by tbe brigade ot uenerai scudier, ot the 7th Corps. Tbe 6th Corps and the reserve division bad orders to advance, the former by San Koccodi Palazzolo, the latter towards Oliosi. These tioops acquitted themselves ot their task in a brilliant manner. The nret Brigade ot tbe 5th Corps and the reserve infantry division carried the village of Oliosi, set on fire by our artillery. notwithstanding the desperate resistance of tbe enemy and the murderous fire of several batteries established upon Monte Vento. The two other brigades of the 6th Army Corps, under General Moring and Colonel Bauer, car ried the larms ot corte and Han Kocco dl Palazzolo. and the Scudier Brieade of the 7th Corps advanced in a continual and obstinate strueele from Zarbare towards Monte Godio. Lastly the lopiy Brigade, and subsequently tbe weisersneim urigaue 01 toat army corps, were able to enter the line to DartieiDate with over whelming ardor In tbe sanguinary combats for Xhf possession 01 uonte uodio. Between one and 1 nree in the afternoon one brigude of the 5th Corps carried Monte Vento. and the two others, after a most desperate struggle, gaiuea possession or eanta Lucia and woute juamaor. uuring this time the reserve division reached Salionze and pushed forward towards Vallegio. Notwithstanding all tbe efloriB of he th and 7ih Army Corps, they were unable to succeed la carrying Custozza up to three in the afternoon. The troops being exhausted, partly by the burning heat and tbe latigue ot the struggle, I gave tbem a short rest, and subsequently or dered the 7th Array Coros. reinforced' bv a brigade otthe 6th Corps, to make a last attempt to carry uusiozza, uetendea oy tne enemy witn stubbornness and great bravery. Before, how ever, my order had arrived the 7th Corps, effi caciously supported by the well-maintained fire of the pieces of the 9th Army Corps, placed at Casa del Sole, had gained possession of the Monte Arabita and Belverere. There still remained then the difficult task of taking Cus tozza and Monte Torre, and of repulsing tbe continual and very violent attacKs at the enemy against tbe 9th Corps at Somma Campagna and C a del bole. Tl e enemy, led by the Princes Humbert and Amnduus. Attempted with picked troops to ad vance to Natlalo and hold Custozza, but the 9th corps energetically repulsed every attack, and ultimately, towarus 7 tr. m., the 7th army corps, supported by the brigade ot the 6th corps, suc ceeded In carrying Custozza. Tbe Putz Reserve Cavalry, with t!ie eight squadronB ot Colonel Beyanovics, had maintained with various for tune series of combats trom 4 o'clock la the morning until fan ot night. These valiant troops, who, under their excellent chief, performed prodigies 01 vaior ano aevotloi, sustained con siderable losses owing mainly to the impetuosity of their attacks. At nightfall the tw cavalry brigades were Withdraw fron behind Dowobuono, As ltOe as nine o'clock artillery lire was heard in the direction ot the 8th roips and the Pultz brigade. The enemy had by this time abandoned further resistance, and clouds ot dust towards Golto and Valeggio point out his line of retreat upon the Mincio. It would be ImDossib e to deny to the enemy the testimony of having fought with obstinacy and era very; Lis Nrst attacks in espe cial were impetuous, and his otiicers set their men good examples. The enemy brought into line of battle, under the eyes ot tbe Kiug aud the order ot Princes Humbert and Amadeus the latter of whom was wounded the complete army corps ol Durando and Pella Rocco; also, as reported by prisoners. a strong torce 01 tbe uucbiarl armv corps and reveral cavalry regiments in all, nearly eleven divisions ot infantry, being a force ot about one hundred thousand men, and almost all bis reserve artillery; but it was impossible tor him to resist the .tried and persevering bravery and the devotion of the Imperial troops. uur losses in killed ano wounded are not small, owing to the Impetuous dash of our troops. I am unable to state the figures until I receive detailed reports. According to an ap proximate estimate we have made about 3000 prisoners, many of whom are otiicers. We have also captured some guns; but the number is not yet certain. It is my opinion that the splendid victory of UiisKza will bave all the moie etlect, as symp toins of demoralization were visible in tne Italian army to ward -i evening, after the capture ot Custozza, many of tbe prisoners not having tasted lood ror torty-eight hours. in retieating beyond tbe Mincio the enemy burnt the fine fridge of Valeggio, where he left five hundred wounded. He evacuated Villa' tranca tbe same nieht, and also abandoned a great number of wounded there. LATEST FROM EIROPE. Probable End of Ibe Wr Venetl Ceded to France Tbe New English Cabinet, Kte.

Tbe great lines ot prophecy, he said, seem to intersect the year 18G7. The world, he believed, would not be destroyed, but would endure for ever in a more purified and exalted state. Though be was unable to explain the increase of Catholicism In England, he believed the heart of the country was still true to Protes tantism.
