'o-v mai w—Serska. 1116 LONDON. FRIDAY, JULY 8. Just is everybody was expecting intelligence of the grand operations for reducing the last strong. holds of Austria in Italy, comes news of an armistice. It is customary, in circumstance* like those in which we now fied ourselves, to recommend modera tion to the victorious party. But the policy avowed by the Emperor of the Fiteueu leaves no room for this advice. This is not a war of conquest or ambition. NA VOLION disavowed personal or dynastic designs before he crossed the Ticino, and on the morrow of the victory of Magenta he repeated the same solemn protestations. It was then he pro claim' d to the people of Italy—" Your desire of " independence, so long expressed, so often deceived, " will be realised if you show yourselves worthy "of it. To-morrow you will be free citizens "of a great country." To violate this pledge would not be to be moderate, and no one must ask him to do this. It is necessary (or the progress of the age that Austria should be shut out of Italy. It is necessary for the tranquillity of Europe that a strong and thoroughly national State, able to prevent the trespasses of foreignm, should hold the North of Italy. If three facts are boldly recognised by the Great Power*, the work of negotiation will be short and beneficent. The Circular just Mooed by Count W utast(' now Weed the saturant.* that the Emperor of the Fat, d tt, far from desiring to dispose of the terri tory and Governmeat of Italy, m a mere succeed'sl warrior, without consulting the other European Power', would himself ask far the concurrence of those Powers to settling the affairs of that country as soon as an opportune moment arrived. We are able to state that, on the other band, Prussia, whose movements are now engrossing so much attention on the supposition that ehe is shoot to pursue a merely national policy, has expressed, and still expresses, • willingotee to be associated with Eng land and Ramis in the work of mediation, whenever the proper time •rrivn. But no definite proposal for a settlement of Italy can as yet be said to have been made by the Purism Government. Ir any amongst us wen sanguine enough to believe that the hopes of sectarian ascendancy were dead in this country, and that we need trouble our selves no more to inquire of candidates at the hustings whether or not they were in favour of religious equality in the eye of the law, they are likely to he undeceived by a perusal of the debate which took place on Wednesday last on the second reading of Mr. Oft.i.vvey% Bill to regulate the mode of dealing in future with school endowments in certain eases. The Bill in question was brought in to remedy an admitted wrong to which Dissenters are subjected ander a recent decision of the highest Equity tribunal in the realm, with respect to the management and system of teaching in wheals founded by benevolent and pious persons in former times for the general benefit of the youth of parti cular districts or localities. Many of the founder?, when bequeathing their property to educational uses, forgot, or designedly omitted, to prescribe any sectarian test of trusteeship or masteiship. From one tekrant and charitable generation to anothercommon sense intentions have been carried into effect with out let or hindrance, Churchmen and Nonconformists sometimes participating in the excellent week of intellectual and moral culture, and no man finding an unchristian shibboleth exacted from his innocent child when offering to wad. through the village ford of knowledge. But the lust of eccle siastical domination is inextinguishable. These peaceful houses of instruction have lately excited the covetousness of priestly power. Most of the school ndowments throughout England and Wales are expressly limited by the terms of their testamentary foundation to the teaching of those whose parents or guardians desire them to be brought up members attics Church established by law. Only a minority of endowed schools fall under the categoay about which there is any dispute. The Church has the fat of the land, yet it covets—let us rather say, some 111-advised friends and would-be champions covet es its behalf—the few refuges for soul-liberty that have heretofore been silently reserved for the children et all denominations. Pio paean is set up of any attempt on the part of Dissenters to establish tICIII - rights of trusteeship. On their part all that ie asked le noroexcluvion. Their clerical oppo nents insist, on the other hand, on enforcing the overbearing rule of churchmanship. In the eyes recently litigated in the Vice-Chancellor% Ilourt, and subsequently carried by way of appeal before the Unit( hatless in Equity, the great rosjosity of trustees were, with the consent of the Nonconforming suitors, chases from the Anglican communion—minorities of a farther fifth part only being appointed from the dissident churches. But Intolerance will be satisfied with no participation of blessings or hest tits. NAIIOIII . . vineyard is ever envied, and no injustice is too palpable to restrain the effort to gain possession of it. The rigid applieatioa of an antiquated tuts of evi dence was invoked successfully against tho plain dictates of justice, liberality, and the constitutional policy of the time. According to the good old Tory cams' of legal coastructioo, is do. fault of express words prescribing the religion communion of trustee', it was always tube presumed that Os* founder of an edocatioral iostitotioo as- ten.plated their nomination from the only wet fa roared by seta of parliament t and by virtue of this wormestee maxim of it bygone time, schools that have for generstions bees flee to el persuasions are now 10 danger of beiog concerted into exclusive seminaries fur the rearimg of yosth in tae doctrine of the Thirty -sloe Article.. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 8, 1859. AN ARMISTICE. The following was received likst night in Paris : PARIS, TMORSDAT, 9.60 P.M. OFFICIAL DESPATCH. "The Emperor to the Empress. "An armistice hu been concluded between the Emperor of Austria and myself. " Commissioners have been appointed to agree upon necessary clauses." The Moniteur of this morning, after having given the official despatch sent yesterday by the Emperor to the Empress, adds : "It is necessary that the public should not mis- understand the extent of the armistice ; it is limited merely to a relaxation of hostilities between the belligerent armies, which, though leaving the field open for negotiations, do not enable us for the present to foresee how the war may be terminated." To abate this scandal and wroog is the object of the measure framed, with the assistance of Sir RICHARD BETHEL!, by Mr. Diu.siTu, and which, after a sharp and mast unedifying discussion, was read a second time on Wednesday last, by a ma jority of IS. It is due to the HOME SECRETARY and the ATTORNEY•GENERAL to say that they showed no desire to abnegate the principles professed by Sir CORNEWALL LEWIS sad Sir RICHARD BETIIELL as members of theist, Liberal Oppos ; and the bulk of the '-.lion not to abandon .e party testified equal determinatm.-- _ their colours, because certain of their friends happen t o have got lately into office. Bat it is impossible to observe without pain and regret the course pursued by '' Mr. GLADVIONE and others on the occasion is question. If ever a case of manifest grievance was clearly and incontestably made out, it was for the second reading of the Bill. Conditions and safe guards, if need there be, against abuee,might of mums have been proposed in committee. But about the general assertion of the principle of sectarian liberty and religious equality there was no nom tor. doubt in the minds of the Liberal.. Great, there fore, was the astonishment and dismay excited when, instead of a manly and straightforward meat to the principle, the CIIAIICELLOR of the E'en& QUER and others tried to get rid of the question by referring it to a select committee, and failing that, actually divided spinet the second reading—ln other words, in favour of allowing the unrighteous and intolerant dogma of high-priestly law to stand. So great was the excitement ceased by this unexpected schism on the Treasury Bench, and so maladroit were the efforts of the advocates of compromise to patch it up any how for the moment, that several moderate Whip walked out of the House without voting at all, while in the list of the majority are to be found the names of not a few whose devoted attachment to the Church, politically as well as religiously, admits of no doubt. As a consequence of the opposition offered in quarters where support might reasonably have been looked for, Mr. DILL -1111 has been compelled to meet to the reference of hie Bill to a Select Committee, and we fear it may ks coesidered as shelved for the Series. THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE. It was currently reported yesterday that Lord Chokes, Secretary of the British Embassy at Paris, bad been recalled, and was to be succeeded by the Hon. Wm. Grey, Secretary of Legation at Stock holm. The Mos. Mr. Elliot will remain Minister at Naples, and Sir Arthur Msgennis will represent the Queen at Lisboa. If, as we have reason to be lieve, these statements are correct, other changes in the diplomatic service must shortly be announced. THE ARMISTICE. (Tram like Tutus.) If this Armistice is but a truce, like that coo cliefei ten yeses ego beasts Hadetzky snd Merles Albert them It is • fetal coaoreeks en the put of Fames Joseph , for It will but enable his messy to repair his strength. We will hops, however, that la commenting to this armistice the Emperor of Aumrts has made up hie mind to the naceseary conditions of • peace. The mature of those °partitions nowt but have presented them,elves to him. Oa the evening of that day of &Voris° ell hope of temstebliebing the authailty of Austria over any portion of Lombardy must have passed away like a 'ltem in the mooning. He must have felt that the moment was come either for Moolute submission or for mother obstinate sad hopeless light. Its has chosen the former alternstive. He his submitted. Well, what will be the terms' The progress of this contest !madcap much to die close to us the eh srmter of the will who has brought this cempegn to so speedy a termination. He never 'verses from his formed design, but he is Dever dotal by 811(00 , 11, and is omateet to fOlfel step by step, and by short, certain irimeass, to the objects be has proposed to himself. Hs may be expected to be moderate in the hour of his triumph. Dot. however moderate be may be, Austria can scarcely ex pect more than to be allowed to enjoy what ebe has fir the moment preserved. Lombardy Is gone, sod the fortresses which enabled her to dominate lamb trdy cannot be expected to remain unconditionally ilk her bade. Venice Is not yet a putt of the French conquests, and she may stipulate that the Quaen of the Adriatic may be iamred to retain an independent character under the most popular of her Archdukes. Lombardy, however, has fallen beneath the sword, and the conqueror must dispose of it accoeding to his will. The HOUle of Leeds was about this evening solemnly to debate the propeiety of ioterfering by mediation be tween the warring powcre. They have themselves saved no this humane but very delicate enter prise. The " just and comprehensive terms" which Loed Stratford de Redelifiv woe prepared to setrooste in the Howe of Lode will no longer be et the suggestion of England or of Germany or of Runde. Austria has chosen to Mks the sword, and by the fortuoe of the 'word she must abide. Any rreommeneemeat of hoetiliiies ta out of the question. Her enemy is now in the posi•ion which she her self held when a similar ern:deft° was mule snit broken, and when recen days sufficed for It.ndorky to tioish the war. Before this Uwe is ended the French army will be refreshed and reinforced, a dest of gunbo us real be reedy for Lunch ing upon the eke that surrounds Mantua, and a great army will be ready Minsk' its descent upon the shores of Northern Italy. B rakes *nil dispelled sa Austria now is, she is yet better able to fight at this moment tun she will be at try future time. We believe, therefore, in peace, and we believe that the pub to pews will be made son 'alb to her, for the Emperor haa won the advantage which for the moment be proposes to himself. Hs be. climbed this day'e pantry, and he is pro bab!y Maned to halt and rest and rxrult eta strength, and to measure the altitude above him. If this shculd be so, and if this war bottom France and Austria is ended, Franco ceases um:Deadens Ii power out of the condict, and Europe will look on with still Lamming intent', mode meittsting ups the future, while she rests upon her arum. (From the Pose.) The French have been victorious thus far. They fad tile/officio rn the point of sueroptiag, and probably of caryixv, thi hat Austrian preitiona fa Italy.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (PlO3l ova OWN COI PARIS, THURSDAY ETZXINO. This evening's Patrie says:—" No despatch of any importance has reached us to-day from the theatre of war. All that we know is that the sani tary state of the army is excellent, and that the Emperor is in good health. All goes well." _ _ The assurances of the Petrie as to the health of the army are very well timed ; for the extreme heat of the weather, added to the notoriously unhealthy reputation of the neighbourhood of Mantua in the summer season, was begioning to excite uneasiness. The Petrie, referring to the late speeches in the House of Lords, says : Torsisni being beaten at the electione—condomned by the high court of electoral justice—make to take its revenge by resuscitating every antiquated passion and prejudice against Franca. Theta tactics deserve severe reprobation, and the noble peers who have lent tbsroseless to this ridiculous and disloyal campaign, and who, as the Daily Newsier, are but a hot:dint of men, will b 3 judged by the tribunal of public opinion In Europa, before which their policy will not merit with greater success than it did in the late elections in their own countly. Lords Lyndhurst and Stratford de Reicl.tfe, in order to recover that infinence which is slipping away from their lefty, have condercended to use the old scarecrow of invasion, and they treat England as a child, who must be threatened with old bogy befit,e It will be obedient. When noble lords talk In this way, they abindon the domain of politics for that of fairyland. The rumour that the Marquis Masaimod'Azeglio was to go to head-quarters before proceeding to Bologna, which I represented yesterday as impro bable, is now indirectly contradicted by the Patrie, which says he will stay for "come time" on his way, at Florence, in order to confer with M. Boon compagni, the Sardinian Commissioner there. The Patric adds that M. d'Azeglio'a mission to Bologna is " exclusisely " to organise volunteers; and—but hire I thill the Petrie is somewhat illogical—that, according to what is said in political drawing rooms in Turio, " his mission will be at once favourable to the interests of the holy See and to those of the Italian cause." A paragraph lately appeared in the French . . papers, headed " New Method of Making Recon noissances in War." People laughed as they read on, for it was stated that M. Godard, after nicking an ascension in a balloon to survey the Austrian positions, had returned to the camp and reported that he had " seen nothing." It is now admitted that the " new method" was a failure so far as the first experiments went; but M. Godard lately made a sudden appearance in Paris, and it is reported that he has gone back to the army with new appa ratus, which it is expected will wined. The Austrian general, Count de Creoneville, who was wounded at Solferino, is, as his name would in dicate, of French origin. He is, in fact, the son of a Frenchman. His father, Count Folyot de Creme vine, was a French nobleman, who emigrated in 1791, took military service in Austria, and died at Vienna so lately as 1840, with the rank of lieu tenant-field-marshal. One.of the new boulevards now making in Paris is to be called Solferino. One thousand more Austrian prisoners are ex pected at Marseilles shortly. This will bring up the number already housed in Francs to something like 10,000. An exchange will not relieve the French very materially from the burden of providing for all these men, since the Austrians made compara tively very few prisoners. The manufacturers cry out lustily against the empty) ment of prisoners in any kind of handicraft which would come in competition with them, and it is said that the government, mo difying its original intentions, will only allow the prisoners who remain in France to work in the fields. The h t, for getting in which hands are scarce, will afford plenty of employment for the moment. A pamphlet on Garibaldi, by Madame George Sand, will appear to-morrow. M. Landrin, an eminent member of the Council of the Order of Advocates, died this morning after undergoing a severe surgical operation, which induced acute peritonitis. . News of a terrible accident has been received from Bordeaux. Yesterday evening the central reservoir of the city, which was very full of water at the time, burst with such a tremendous noise that the inhabitant, of the quarter believed at first that the Bt. Medard Powder Mills had blown up. Their delusion was soon dispelled. In a few seconds the torrent of waters rushed with fury in the direction of the Rue d'Ares and the Rue Judaique, carrying with it the ruins of many houses, furniture, beds, men, women, and children. The tocsin was soon sounded, and the firemen and the troop. if the garrison hastened to the scene of the catastrophe. The Prefect of the Gironde, the Procureur Imperial, the Mayor of Bordeaux, and many other principal functionaries, gave their . . assistance. At a late hour last night three or four dead bodies had been found, and about a dozen people more or less seriously injured were in the hospitals of St. Andre and the Hotel Dien. The Bourse was in a state of complete stagnation.

I am happy in being able to inform you that rela tions between the Government of Sardinia and that of the Queen have greatly improved, and, what is no slight advantage, have been disentangled from that maze of doubt, ambiguity, and distrust, in which the diplomacy of the late cabinet was in volved. The judgment formed by politicians here of your present ministry, in respect of Italian affairs, consists in the assertion that the English people have compelled their government to turn over a new leaf and act as common sense dictates. You know that, notwithstanding the ample licence you have granted me of opening my mind as to the proceedings of English diplomacy, I am very cautions about using it, remembering the old Italian saw " A fool knows more of his own affairs than a wise man knows of his neighbour's." But since the publica tion of the last pages of your Blue-book I have taken a little heart of grace, seeing that facts have so completely gainsaid the statements of Lords Derby and Malmesbury, showing too how little they were acquainted with Italy, how little they divined the true and efficacious means of securing peaoe. In order to finish this section of my letter, I will now venture to state what is generally considered here to be the line of conduct suggested by plain common sense to the new Palmerstonian Ministry, towards the present Italian revolution. The more the Ita lians co-operate with their own arms, and the greater the union of Italian minds, the less will they see any necessity for foreign protection. Hence it is ex tremely desirable that Naples should join the league with Piedmont. To preserve the independence of the Peninsula, it it requi site that there should be a strong sub-Alpine kingdom capable of bringing into the tield at least 200,000 men. If it cannot do this, Austria will en deavour more than once to re-invade Italy, and the latter will have again and again to invoke French aid. Our government, it is true, has improved its re lations with Naples. The last report sent by Count Sahnour does not extinguish our hope of seeing the young King espouse the national caw*. Our envoy confesses that the King is too much imbued with the maxims of his late father, to which may be added all the intrigues of the Austrian party, at the head of which is the Queen Dowager, supported by all the agents and go-betweens of the police. Notwith standing all that, to Count Salmour conclude', the bestowal of the presidentship of the Comical of Ministers on Filangieri proves that the necessities of the time are beginning to be felt ; and Filen gieri himself has repeatedly declared to the Sardinian envoy that it was time for the young prince to reflect pacifically on the state of things. The rumour recently propagated is therefore false, that the King had offend the Pope any armed force that he might desire. Here you see lam naturally in duced to "peek of the Court of Rome. Its relations with Sardinia are hourly growing worse. As the Pope does not dare quarrel with Napoleon DI., he expends all his wrath upon Count Cavonr and Victor Emmanuel. The Sardinian King and his Minister do not seem greatly alarmed at that. Yesterday there came here a copy of Pio Nono's eirculsr and his address to the Sacred College, the very day when the official Piedroontese gazette announced the mis sion of Cavaliers Massimo d'Azeglio as royal com missioner to Romagns. This act, according to the precise terms of the consistorial address, causes the entire Sardinian government to incur the " greater excommunicatioh. Perhaps you may not know that this peculiar excommunication is tantamount to a spiritual condemnation, in virtue of which all persons are prohibited from having any friendly in tercourse with the parties so condemned ; cohabita tion is interdicted ; nay, the faithful may not sit at the same table with them. The most singular part of the document is where the Pontiff declares "that the said pain of excommunication is incurred by all persons that shall dare by deed, advice, or assent, or in any . way whatsoever, to infringe on his tempers. sovereignty ;' knowing, as he did, that tLe entire population of the Romagna. and Umbria, with a few exceptions, would be consequently excluded from the bosom of the catholic church. It does not appear likely that Rome will persist in having recourse to these spiritual means for maintaining its temporal sovereignty, seeing its sad and quite recent expe rience of their utter inefficacy in one sense, and of their great detriment in another to itself. In the year 1832, Gregory XVI. excommunicated by:Papal bull the people of Ancona, for having festively enter tained the French troops on their arrival there. What did the people do ? They wrote the bull out at full length in uncial letters upon a paper kite, upon which they further inscribed : " We return to the sky that which came down from it," and then they set it a-flying. The only result of this step now will be, that the discredit and dislike of clerical rule will , . be doubled in intensity throughout the provinces. For the rest, the address to the cardinals tads by lauding the fidelity with which the Emperor of the French has came to the assistance of Pio Nono's vacillating throne, and reminds their eminences in a general way of the promises that seem to have been made by Napoleon 111. But in what terms were they made? Would it not have been as well to have cited the exact words used? Leaving that theme, I am able to inform you, th►t before be sent the Swiss to retake Perugia, the Pope sent for Central Goyon, and *it'd to him that Providence offered the Emperor a glorious oppor tunity of displaying to the world his catholic zeal, by sending his own soldiers to subject the rebellious provinces. The general wrote off immediately to Napoleon at his camp, but all the answer received was so emphatic negative. The act then is grave, and all the more bitter to Pio Nono, seeing that in ' his tour about two yesrs ago he fancied he had re ceived the most ample and sincere tokens of love ►nd devotedness to his paternal administration. The fact was, the people paid homage not to the prince but to the head of religion, non tai sed Petro, as Barbarossa said to Alexander 111. Another, and yet more poigrrent anguish, is about to be lnflic•ed on the court of Rome. It is this. The popular govern ment of Bologna has summoned to serve under its flag General Mt wimp% with the 11 battalions of volunteers from Umbria and the Romsgnas, and which he has organised in Tuscany. Now, if these troops should obey the call, the Swiss guards of the Pope will be beaten, so that the insurrection will spread again triumphantly as far aa the gates of the capital. • UNITED STATES.
