The leading speeches of t►e VFW ing confirm this view of the banquet es a party auni swat. Both the opening and closing yam. graphs of Lord Driers speech WINO Or idill;tli ad dreamed to that feeling of distrust and disappoint meat, with the apathy it produces, which is said t. exist so largely wilts the Cosseervatire male ; while Mr. Dteissas speech was, from tint to last, as attempt to roses lots more n. gloom activity the piety forliopof his hearers... _ Nor was the dinner more successful us a political demonstration. The leaders in wham honour it was given natarally " improved" the favourable OCCelliCe by endeavouring to vindicate the policy they had pursued while in power. The work of defeats wee divided between them, Lord Ittlitor addressing him. pelf directly to the foreign policy of the late Govern- meat, while Mr. ItteitALu glanced—more remotely and in mile generalitiee--at it. procedure at home. The noble Earl .poke in a ton* of far greater confidence and triumph than the right hon. gentle men, though with much ler reason. The "Rt vuiT " of debate" showed his astral rashness in speaking of subjects where a little caution and reserve would bare been more becoming. At the outset of him speech, for example, Lord DERBY set all conatits tional decorum at defiance by claiming the highest peruonsge in the realm as a member of the Cam servativs party. "We have before us," said he, addressing his Conservative friends, "a great " and noble caner, we have a united party, we have a gallant bend of friend', and rov bore, above "ult. a SOVEREIGN "—the substance of what followed being, "Who will reward her faithful Conservative " servants, as you see, in the person of myself mad "my friends." The main object of Lord DERRY'S speech, however, wu to defend the "strict neutrality" of the late Government, and here his tone was oui of uomie;led triumph. What is the grouod of his triumph The publication of the Blue-book, con taining Lord M ‘LX ZR111:11.7 . 3 correspondence on the affairs of Italy. This wonderful volume has, it sumo. converted even the moat bitter of his lord ship's opponents into humble admirers of his foreign policy, and led them to repent in duet and ashes of their opposition to the Mast Government. It would be interesting to know on what authority this extra ordinary statement rests. We do not Wires that the publication of this correepondeace Me at all mei onely affected the general opinion es to the toles of lb* late Government in its foreign policy, though it may ._ . . suit the temporary wpm. of a pert aid feeble partisan like Lord Eicso to say eo. This cone spondence does not in face teseb the grounds on which the adverse public jadgmeat la based. That judg ment rested Dot on the presumed contents of any tioriblished letter, but on facts patent to all the world—on the opinions expressed by the responsible leaden of the Government in both Houses of Parlia ment. While negotiations were still going on between the two countries, Lord Item' did not hesitate to praise Austria cal condemn Sardinis with an emphasis al epithet that few private members would have ventured to indulge. And even Mr. DISRAELI, always more cautious than his chief, censured the policy of bardinia as turbulent and aggressive, and spoke of the conduct of Austria es marked by a spirit of • dignified coociliation." Other menshen of the Government were equally emphatic, and their speech.. both in and oat of Parliament furnished ample evidence as to the geneval bias of the Admi niatratioc. No one supposed that this bias would cows out very strongly in Unofficial correspondence with foreign Governments, especially in its early stages. It naturally would not appear very decidedly till matters were approaching a crisis. But before this critical period arrived public opinion in favour of strict neutrality had been so strongly and uni venally pressanned that even Lord MALIILsI;CILY dared set give alkial expression to the known lean lags of his Government Bet though the pressure I of public opinion kept the Foreign Minister within the letter of matrality,the leading members of the Government had repeatedly violated its spirit, and this violation was known not only in England bat in Arun, in thudinia, in France, and through the Continent generally. If any further proof of ths sarong **striae bias of the late Govern ment was seeded, Lord Ineuv's speech on Saturday evening will abundantly furnish it. He avows Ulm he and his Government took a partisan view of the pally seeped by Sardinia—that they saw with pats end dieplesaare that this State, de parting from s coaminstioaal coarse, " was end's - voirrg to excite animosity and dark intrigue Ltd machisation• maggot ether peoples," with much more to the same purpose. And he veateree to reiterate that the war was without ease—la other wade, that the grievances of Italy are emitimastre nie speech is, indeed, simply enitildal as a vindisatioe ti the " strictly neutral " foreign policy of the late Government. Mr. Hisasztt was more discreet in his indirect defence of the home policy of the late Government. He prudently abstained from touching on any matter of detail. Not a word wee said about the unhappy Reform Bill, which proved such a stone of etambling and rock of offence both to friends and foes. Ho satisfied himself with intimating in a general way that the Conservative party—meaning thereby, probably, a few of ita leeding member—had become ECM liberal in their sympathies and policy during the laid few years. This growing improvement or easimilation to the " spirit of the age" had cabal meted at the very moment when they were called be relinquish power. While tally identifying himself and his friends with the Tory party, he con_ Meese that this party has been for nearly thirty yearn pest a practical failure. It had, however, daring that period undergone a promos of reogranieation and reconstruction, and is now is the position which the aeemeitiee of the ministry require. We suspect this reeseetruction simply consists,like the reconstruction of strata-vessels in the navy, in patting the screw en. It is at heart precisely the same to-day it has always been ; its sympathies are exclusive, mad its policy at best stationary, if mat a►eslately retrograde. What, however, is Mr. DIIIIIAELI'S description or definition of the Tory party I' "It ht," says the right hop. gentleman, "a great " eadederation prepared to assist progress and resist " revelation." We confess, on reading this sentence, we leaded, as most of our readers probably will, that the verbs must have been accidentally trans posed. The titer definition of the Tory party would be, " a confederation prepared to resist progress and " assist revolution." Has not this party obstinately isolated every measure of real progress for the last fifty years ? They have been the mo istest opponents of every measure for escoring the religious, political, and commercial freedom of the people. And what can possibly be more reis lationary than such resistance ? By resisting Par liamentary Reform in 1831 they brought the country to the very brink of revolution; and bat far the greater wisdom and patriotism of their leaders, it would certainly have broken oat fifteen years later when they destroyed their party organisation rather than consent to a repeal of the Corn Laws. It is true that they have at length learnt some little wisdom by experience. But the lesson of adversity is apt to be sae forgotten in more prosperous times.

" The representatives of Austria, France, and Sardinia will loon meet at Zorich, to conclude • treaty of peace.

The Emperor arrived at St. Cloud at a quarter after ten this morning. The Empress, with the Imperial Prince and the ladies and officers of her household, was in waiting to receive him for more than an hoar at the Orleans station of the " Ceinture" railway by the park wall of St. Cloud. The Princess d'Essling and Mesdames Bruit, Bran cion, Fleury, and Connean, were grouped about the Empress like the ladies in Winterhalter's well known picture of her. The little prince wore his corporal's uniform, and had a laurel crown in his hand ready to give to his father on his arrival. A privileged public, among whom were a great many actors and actresses of the Theitre Francaiss, were permitted to watch the scene from behind one of the park gates. As soon as the Em peror arrived he kissed the Empress, then took the Imperial Prince in his arms, and held him for some minutes, and afterwards gave his arm to the Em press and handed her to an open carriage, which conducted their Majesties and the imperial infant to the chitean. At noon the Emperor attended mass, and immediately after he received his ministers.

The news of the conclusion of peace hew emdted immense agitation. It was so unexpected, so immobable, that people at first refused to believe it. When it became impossible to doubt the emotion became pascal, and gays rise to sums dirsordise. The official placard announcing the peace waa torn down in m►ny 'Aeon. The printing•ottice of the Tawas Monitear wee invaded by the populace, and all the . . . . engem of tha piper fraud in it were token oat and brunt. The Abbi Climb, the manager of the paper, wee particularly Waned by the crowd, not for having printed the Empires's dispatch air a piece of news, but for !metric done It without waiting for an auttioriaation from the provisional government, and thereby betrayed a feeling which, as an old funetionaty of the Grand Ducal government, he was very naturally suspected of entertaining. The Inter ference-of some courageous citizens alone eared him from summary punishment by the populace, and preserved his pristine-0 Se. from the flames. The gendarmes attempted to act, but they were not sufficiently numerous to maintain order. Fortunately the national gaud, which was on the eve of being organised, atonable& spontaneonaly, and formed a force of 300 men, which paraded the streets of the city during the night. Their preeence soothed the agitation, and they found no necessity to make nee of their arms. In the morning of the next day the government publ4hed the following vreclamation : Taecena,—Tho news of events which interrupt the moat brilliant hope, ewes a gmeral and profound grief. The government shares per esatimenta. We must not, how ever, give way to ditooaragonient,. and mum be cJotant to . . wait for more ample &ale .

Meanwhile, remember that say extreme manitestetion of your regrets will only aggravate the perils of the situation.

Jointly with 11, the government will ' ' make the voice of Tuscany heard by 'Veen; Emmanuel, in whom it hes the fullest confidence. Tuscany will not, in spite of Its will or of its rights, be replaced under either the yoke or the influence of Austria. "Flotence, July 13, 1859.

Theme simple and heartfelt words, which was thoroughly understood by the population, contributed to mint assies minds.

" lbs Closfaloniere, B. Iteuirtointati." It will be observed that these proclamations, while deprecating street agitation, assume that if the Tuscans are united Victor Emmanuel will protect them from the return of the Austrian Lord Lieutenant, the Grand Duke of Tuscany. In connexion with this legitimate expectation I beg leave to draw your attention to an ugly piece of news signified by telegraph to day. A part of the French army of Italy, which the Emperor said was about to return to France, is to march through Tuscany and to . . embark at Leghorn. Evidently its mission is to restore " eider " in the interests of Austria by the way. Count Arne's task in forming • ministry meets with impedimenta. He sent to Bologna, by. tele-. graph, for M. Massimo d'Azeglio, who flatly refuses to join him. A curious fact about Count Anse, the new minister imposed upon the King of Sardinia by the Emperor of the French, is narrated by the lade. peisdaneeßelge. Atter the entry of the allied armies into Milan the Sardinian government nominated M. Hatatzi as governor of that city. Napoleon re fused to permit the appointment. M. Cavour then suggested the name of M. Areae, but the French Emperor again objected, saying that he had "other views" with regard to the count. The Prase announces that it has not received the English journals to-day. The fact is that they were almost all seised. I rater remember inch a nazis. Morning, evening, and weekly papers, of all shades of politics, all joined in such a chorus of indijgaation against the treacherous treaty of Villa. franca, that the French government, which has been representing that the English pros generally highly approves of the peace, found it necessary to Goa &rate nearly every one of them, the limes us . eluded. M. Oranier de Camagnae tells the public in the Pays that people in Yarn hare no iae.a of the im mense pride which the honest mynas of the pro visoes take in the bravery of their Emperor. They are all, he lays, familiar with the story of the epau lette carried away by a ball. No doubt they are, for tile anecdote has been most sedulously circulated by the prefectorial journals. The story is a very pretty cot, but unfortuuately it is warier, as M. de Cae sagnac knows, or at least has the SWIM of knowing. The simple truth about the epaulette is that the Emperor, who weans the epaulettes of a general of division, took one off to give to Brigadier General Auger in token of his rosnotiao, while he was lying Invaded on the field. POSITION OF THE FRENCH ARMY BEFORE THE PEACE. The special correspondent of the Times in Italy, writing from Verona on the 9th instant, says : The world is once more startled by the latelligenoe that &Preach emperor having gained a great battle is glad to ask for mad obtain a sospensiou of hostilities, commits to abandon the siege of a force., after ten days of open trenelten sad eahltAte a dories to treat whoa his arras have achieved greet mucowess. Various and conflicting are the ceases @s oloed for this step. There is no doubt that the Preach army sheered severe losses at the battle of Solfermo, and that since it creased the Mimic, heat, sickness, and want of abundant provisions have been seriously felt. Bat at Veleggio, Louis Napoleon re ceived a reinforcement of 35,C00 men, amply sufficiest to 811 the void caused by the tattle of Solferino. This very in armee of nowhere, however, may have tended to masses the discomfort of the army, if the corps of Prince Napoleon brought with it but insufficient supplies. Deserters, of whom great Dumber+ have come In here daily, were ILIMIlM(Hli in affirming that food was scarce, that the number of sick was very great, and that forage particulerly wits coast. This !met statement is con firmed by a curious circumstance. Yesterday about 6 o'clock a foraging patty, accompanied by two officers, advanced within the lines of the kustrisa outposts. They were challenged sod wrested. They said they thought a trace bad beau signed, sad they only cane peaceably to feed their borer. The Asatriare told them that no intelligence of • trees ha yet embed dim, and they (the Frenchmen) suet nee ache themselves es Flame t. of war.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. ARRIVAL OF THE EMPEROR AT ST. CLOUD. pas. sex ORM COMAIIIIVXMIXT.) PARIS, 81:INDLT BVININCI. GERMANY. A letter from Frankfort of the 12th discueses subject of which we shall probably hear much during the next few weeks. The writer says: It is now known that the last Austrian propositions to the Diet did not emanate solely from the Imperial plesipoten. nary, but were concerted between the greater part of the secondary governments of Germany, which maw not without displeasure the pretensions of Primate to exclueive dominance 111 the military Weirs of the Confederation increase in pro portion as the perils of war appeared to augment. The tour governments of Dresden, Hanover, Stuttgardt, and Munich asked themselves, not perhaps without some reason, if the moment were well chosen by Prussia to annihilate one of the moat essential enactments of the federal compact—that which regards the command in chief of the carp which compose the German army. No one iu Germany has ever disputed that this nomination belonged to the diet—why then should the cabinet of Berlin desire to appropriste exclusively the right of making it ? The federal constitution is not yet • dead letter. This di& -once, which is really exceedingly grave both for the present and the future, la a new apple of dimmed thrown unexpectedly between the two great Germs powers, and it will prodnos results of which the Germania Confederation may find it difficult to conjure away the dangers. THE PEACE OF VILLAFRANCA. The Piedmonts.. Gazette of the 14th simply states in a line, without any comment, that " Preli minaries of peace were signed on the 12th." The Opinions of Turin does not conceal the climatic • faction with which it sees Venice remain in the hands of Austria. It attributes Count Cavour's To. Ovation to the insufficiency of the terms of pesos imposed upon Austria, which, being quite contrary to his expectations, rendered it impociible for hint to remain in office. The Debate thin states what it conceives to be the most probable arrangement of the Italian states under the new organisation : A comparison of the despatch by which tbeEmperorNspo- Imo made known the bum of peso adopted at V ilisfrancri w ith that by which the Emperor of Austria communicated the same event to his subjects gives a complete idea of the stipulations made by the two sovereigns. While informing us that Aus tria is to retain Venetia, the French despatch did not indicate what would be the new frontier between Piedmont and Amnia. The Austria despatch mentions the line of the Minato, which removes all uncertainty as to the fate of Pesehiers and Mantua, which remain in the hands of Austria. The Fres& despatch said nothing about the duchies, and the Emperor's proclamation to the way of Italy only al luded to them in speaking of the governments which bad kept aloof from the movement, or were tsoalld in.o their pomessiona. The Austrian despatch expressly stipulates the reatoration of the sovereigns of Toe may sad Modena. The despatch does not mention the Docker-Regent of Parma; but it appears to us so much leas probable that she is not ineladed be this general restora tion that of all %lessor/stigma restored the Duchess-Regent is the one who will experience the bast embarrassment in again meeting her people. Lastly, the Austrian despatch Ices not represent the establishment of a confederation aa an accom plished fact, but merely maim that Austria agrees with France in promoting the formation of en Italian confeders dors. That stipulation thus becomes peefeetly intelligible, for it suggests that the assent of the states which are to enter into the proposed confederation will be applied for, and that they cacao% be regarded OA definitively engaged by errangemente in which they have hitherto had no share. THE AUSTRALIAN MAIL. The following telegramwu received by the Penin sular and Oriental Company this morning Ma Messina : " MALTA, SATURDAY.. - • " The Columbian, with the mails from Australia, reached Aden on the 11th inst., having been delayed by some derangement of her machinery. " The mails may be expected in London, via Marseilles, with those from Calcutta and China about the 27th inst." THE PEACE. (From the 7 inset - - Every actor in the late war thinks it necessary to apologise to the world for the conditiona of the pews. It is nenstedng that even irresistible power should feel some homage due to outraged faith. France tells us that she would not have left that glorious work of rendering Italy tree from the Alps to the Adriatic so incomplete if she had not feared to draw on a general European war. Sardinia, while swallowing her homilistion, coven her retreat from the new with decent promisee se to how she will nee the gains she has acquired. Austria, mon frank, declares that she has ceased to war with the Emperor of the French he. aeon she hasdisoovered that be is her beet friend. " The mediation of natural federal allies promised leas favourable oenclitioes than a direct understanding." This means that drill the Powers of Europe, Napoleon 111. alone would scquiesce in Austria retaining Venetia and restoring the Archdukes. England's ordain upon this subject could not be mistaken; Prussia notwithstanding the hatred of that nation for the French would give no inaction to any further Austrian interference in Italy. Hese Russia, engaged in manumitting her serfs and in de veloping her town internal resources, could not, despotic on she is, mike herself a party to the scatedal of Amnion tyranny in Italy. All Austria's friends wen ready to pro nounce her in the wrong. Her only sympathisers were to be found in the camp of her enemy. It was the champion of Italian unity and Italian liberty—lt was the hope and stay of Italian patriots and Hungarian exits►—it was the enemy who in the name of freedom bad struck her down, that m 44 her from the *nth end gave her beck that rod of hon. Austria had been looking to England, to Germany, to Buena, for assistance against France, and In the moment of her mid she found that France was the only power which really • meant what she meant. The Etepsroe of Austria found out this great truth while discussing his breakfast with the Emperor Napoleon, and he will net forget it if those new s ogees ensue to which be so siguillaantly alludes in hie address to his soldiers.
