Europoau News-Progress of
the War.
The Vanderbilt arrived at New York |
on Sunday morning bringing the English 1
mails to the J22d June.
in relation to lite war movements, it |
may he summarily Muted that the Allies j
and the Austiaus were confronted on the i
line of the Mella and Mincio; the French
Emperqr a.t'd the King of Sardinia having
fiivevr headquarters at Brescia, and
the Kmperor of Austria holding his at !
Villa Franca. (Jariabftld was operating
in front of the Allies. An Austrian force |
.bad occupied the pass of Stelvio. On the ]
.side of the Adriatic every arrangement
was nearly completed lor naval opera
tions against Venice and Pola.
A body of Papal troops, sent to repress
the icvo't .n the Legations, had encoun
tered the popular party at Cerna, and a
sharp conflict bad ensued. The <King of
Sardinia had definitely declined to accept
the .sovereignty of the revolted provinces,
which a delegation from Bologna had
tendered him.
The Forthcoming Operation*.?The
expected battle on the Minco is tin; topic
which now engrosses universal attention.
The Xord of June 21 says :
We are on the eye of great events.?
The two armies are face to face. All the
corps of the Austrian army rue concentra
tiug uj?on the line of the Minert). The
provinces of the empire have been denuded
by troops, and the last columns are
arriving by forced marches upon the
scene of the contest. The Austrian armv
has chosen its position. It occupies a line
on the other side of the Chifse, the cen.

wing extends to Lotialo. the left to Cas

Francis Joseph reviewed rhe two corj>s !
d'urnue encamped at Lonato.
The allied arums follow the eneinv
step by step, combining their movements. I
It is possible that the pivot of their posi
tion will be the bourg of Monte Chi&ro,
evacuate 1 precipitately by the Austrian
rear guard. A French corps is advan i
cing by forced marches in the Valteline,
where the AdsLrianc made a feint of des
' rending from Horinio to threaten the rear 1
of the allied armies.
The ground chosen bv the Austrians
for accepting battle has been well studied i
by their generals ; tliese positions served |
Itahitually for the grand manoeuvre* of i
the autumn. The latter fact is not ignor J
cd at the French headquarters, and pre
cautions have been taken accordingly.
The game. then, will be played with |
equal chances?a terrible game?without j
precedent in the military history of modern
times."
Tire I^oril also says :
"The L) ?y before yesterday i'rince N'a
poJcou v> is to enter Modena. liy this
tune military operations have commenced
in the Adriatic upon the cost of IbtlmaXia.
It is stated that the Austrians, while
Jie French army marches to the Mincio,
wish to direct a body of 50,000 men by
the Tyrol upon Milan, but it is not very
likely that the Austrian Generals will try
one of these bold manoeuvres to which
they are so little accustomed. In any case
precautions have been taken."

'W?! are i daily expectation of news of
A battle on tlie Mincio?a great battle,
which, it lost by tlie Austrian*, may hasten
the solution of tho great question at
issue, and dissipate the delusion that they
can continue to held f,orot>nrdy as before.
The famous fortresses will, we are told,
not long stand out against the rilled can.
;ion ; at least, such is the opinion express
Oil bv persons who, were not their nation*
al feelings enlisted, would be very good
authority on such a question. Should a
battle then, be lost by the Austrians on
the Mincio, it is thought or hoped that
tlj.e Neutral Powers may try to bring
about an armistic with a view to an ulterior
arrangement. There are various
versions, or rather conjectures, as to the
patnre ot this arrangement. One is that
Austria will he induced t<> abandon her
claim V> Lornbarlv, which will be annex*
ed to Piedmont, and that Venice will be
declared a tree city, with a portion of tor
ritory as far as the limits ot Lombardy.?
In this manner the Noith of Italv would
be rescued from the Austrian* from the
Mediterranean to the Adriatic There
are various other plans spoken of, nerhaps
with no greater foil ml at* on. The attention
of every-Irody is filed on the expected
battle of the Mmcio?the Mincio, which
is regarded as the Kubi/cc;i of the modern
C/pnr. w
Concerning the Mineiof we find the
following information translated from a
Paris Journal :
From Peschiera to Mantua the course
of the Mincio is about six leagues as the
crow tlies ; in that limited space a pns
sage must be forced. To attempt this
operation there are certain points nam

of any bridge thrown over a river, i

fioaite bank. It ia not difficult to imag- <
ine that if a apof, i* found in the course c

pte v ttrMil forms an angle towards the at t

be a groat advantage to attempt the pas
Rage a I such a point, because a plunging
fire could the# bo concentrated on the en*
emv placed in the middle of a sernicirclo
of batteries. Now, the course of the Min
ci<> presents to an army wishing to force
its passage, from the Milan side, only two
point* combining these advantages?at
Mozauibauo and Vulta
Ou these two points the stream makes
an elbow, pointing to the West, and the
ground on the right hank is considers!
biy higher than on the other. These
two points were therefore chosen in the
wais of the lievolution, in 1790 and
1800, and also in the campaign of 1848,
to force the passage ol the Mincio. More
over, the possession of two fortresses like
i'esehiera atul Mantua, on so short a line,
renders its defence easier, for I lie enemy
have their wings perfectly supported, and
can debouch unexpectedly from either of
Llose fortresses. However, history teach
es us that for an army well commanded
the passage of the Mincio is almost a
certainty. The Austrians could not pre
vent Bonaparte from crossing it in 1796;
nor Brune in 1800, notwithstanding tile
sanguinary battle fought by Jiellegardo ;
nor the I'leumonte&e army in 1648, which
forced the river on three points?at Goe
to, Mozambano and Borghetto. The pas
sage once effected, the conquerors are in
the centre of the quadrilateral, and of tlie
places which form its own corners?Pes
chiera, Mantua. Legnago and Verona ;
and being so will have most probablv to
fight a pitched battle to force the enemv
back."

To the Pastors and Congregations of the
Various Denominations of Protestant
Christians in South Carolina :
At the last Annual Convention of the
Bible Society of this State, Kouth /Caroli
iih was unanimously pledged by her as
setnbled delegates, to raise five thousand
dollars for the distribution of the Bible,
through the American Bible Society, in
foreign countries. The undersigned were
appointed a Committee to address the
State at large on this important subject.
The facts which induced this resoluti* u
and now from live basis of this appeal aie
as follows : Intelligence lias l>een received
by the Parent Society that there are not
a few places in the West Indies and in
Spanish and Portuguese America wheie
the Bible can be profitably circulated, to
the removal of sur purs tit ion and error,
and the salvation of souls.
An appeal comes likewise from France
for aid to give the Bible to the many
there who are ready and willing to re

empire, multitudes are asking for the

assured, is the JJible more desired or bet

for the everlasting Word, and now China

From l'lensnnt Hill I*. O. on Uie Went, (

miles. Within these four points, em bra

extends beyond the Kershaw nnd ('hosier- j

It can easily be seen thst this section of
country, which is the most populous por- I
lion of our District, was but poorly provided
for when it was allowed two offices;!
but now it has no parallel, we imagine, in
any Stale in the Union enst of the Mississippi
river. It would he singular, indeed
if the people of that large scope of country
were to content themselves under this unjust
