The Oceae•te of Milan, recently appointed by Victoa 1111lAWV/LL, bas tuned adecree, which will be found in another column, declaring that the same liberty of conscience and of religious teaching which has for many years prevailed in Piedmont is hence- Nwth enured to the people of Lombardy. Under t►e free institutions that exist in the hereditary States of the Sardinian KIM;, men have grown accustomed to think, speak, and print whatsoever opinions they believe to be tree in speculative tad political wiener what is tar more precious in the eight of good awn, far more permanently- valuable even so • means of national advancement and civilisation is the sight of deep-thinking men, freedom of worship and of education has been established in all the tereitories of the House of SAVOY west of the Ticino. And 03W that the dividing Winn hat been crossed by the army of liberation, and that Lombardy of its own spontaneous will, as is 1848, has pronounced tee anima with Piedenontot is wise and just that the newly organised Government of the provinces thus united should alhird the earliest proofs in its power of the equal spirit in which it undertakes itiv new obligatilear. A nobler evidence of steadfastness and soundness of purpose it could not give than tbs. There is no sectarian object to be famed in Lombardy by the enactments of guars teasel soul liberty." There are [iodise tfected Huger nue to be woo over by concessions to the recently established order of things. No powerful section or elan is to be propitiated, as is other countries, by the proclamation of the principle of religious free dom. The popnlatios is professedly Catholic as in Piedmont ; but, hitherto, the rights of the laity to inquire, discuss, or teach in matters of faith or morals hays been no more than rare and exceptional indul gences from the priesthood and police; for in regions ruled under the term of a Concordat, the bidding of priesteraft and the 6,mila of the gendarme are to each other so the body to the soul of daily oppres. moo. No religious book could be printed or pub lished is Milan without the previous inspection of the authorities; and the authorities were bound by so:ma treaty with the Vatican not to stif fer any doubt to be disseminated of the maxims of HILDEPRAND and the ethics of Lorots. The sacred Scriptures themselves were at the head of the list of contraband articles prohibited at the frontiers ; and no bookseller would have ventured to embark in the perilous speculation of printing foe secret sale an edition of the Word of GOD. An English gentleman, not king ago, happened on his way to Italy to hays boaght at Frankfort • cheap English edition of fleaticelt works. Oa his arrival at Ilomo (Mewls hiajiar gage wan as usual searched, and it proved to con tain only two books—a small Bible and the volume •bore named. SIIELL/T was an unknown or forgotten mime to the &maniere, so they mired the inspired repertory of troths that tend to • maks men free indeed," and "uttered the winged words of the unbelieving poet to pus with out notice. But is the dull routine of obscurantism the unhappy Louberds seldom found their religions and political oppression undiscerniag. The love of inquiry they could not indeed eradicate, bat they suc ceeded wonderfully in stiffing its avowal and pre venting Its exercise. A Lombard might be a classic scholar, a mathematician, or an artist, if he pleased; but • knowledge of the fiundations of morals, of creeds. or of government', other than t►at taught by the Jesuits, he could not obtain, sac by expatriation or by stealth. For the majority of even what is called the better climes neither of these was practically possible ; and with few excep tions consequently the community remained pro foundly ignorant of those diversities of opinion is the collision of which the moral thews and sinews of =olden civilisation have confessedly grown strong. Here then we see, in a form that every man amongst us can understand, the difference between the two systems that are struggling for the a seendmicy in Irajy. It is not Protestantism against Catholicism —it is not Dissent against Uniformity of ritual or discipline : it is far more —it is the revolt of lb* laity against saixtedotalian ; the uprising of free thought against Imperialised prieetcraft ; the renewed assertion of the eternal and inalienable right of private judgment in all things, whether civil or religious, against the mast realtiess tyranny ever the minds of men ever undertaken by the coejoint ingenuity of Charch and State. It may suit trading politicians in high places in this country to describe the mighty conflict going on in Italy as a selflah scuffle between two despotisms. and nothing more. But wherever this decree of M. Vit; this: is resd,wien whose hearts are right within them will thank GOD that the courtier and craven rersicx of the matter is m, re ,i,;serable mendacity, unbelieved whenspokeni when heard. How soon all Italy may hope to be admitted to equal rights of conscience and of expression with Piedmont and Lombardy. we dare not venture to predict. The people go to Turin, press in scree to their palpitating bosom* the historic mementoes of that freedom which even in what were railed dark ages they to a great extent enjoyed, and anxiously they count the boors aatil the liberating trumpet shall be beard without disir gates, seen as it has been heard at Milan.

TREATY OF PEACE BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND FRANCE. The following telegram has been received this evening at Mr. Renter's office : PARIS, TONSDA T. A message posted up at the Hoarse announces that a treaty of peace has been signed between Austria and France. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. TERMS OF THE ARMISTICE. The following has been received this morning by Mr. Renter : " TURIN, JULY 11. " The Official Bulletin of to-day publishes the text of the convention of armistice. Besides the articles already known it is said the belligerent armies will keep the positions which they now wimpy. The railways to Verona, Peschiera, and Mantua, may, during the armistice, be used to carry provisions to those fertresses. Peachier' and Mantua are being provisioned, and the provisioning of the former will be completed in two days. The works, offensive and defensive, of Peschiera are to remain in their present state. " The convention is signed by Generals Vaillant, Martimprey, Dell t Room, Hess, and Meardorf (Menrdorb)." THE MEETING OF THE EMPERORS. VERONA (via Vieusa), Norma, Jots 11. The Emperor of Austria, acoompanied by Generale Her, (hence, Kellner, Kollenstein, Roroing, &Witter, and several other officers of the staff, went this morning to the interview with the French Emperor at Villafranca. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 12, 1859. THE ROMAONA. A letter from Rome of July 5, in the Correspond ence Bullier, says that the revolution is triumphant throughout Romagna. Every town from Ferrara to Catolies has elected juntas end pronounced for annexation to Piedmont. Besides Ferrara and Bo- logna, Canto, Comachio, Lugo, Bagnecavolli, Ra venna, Imola, Forli, Cesens, Bortinora, Carrie, Saint Arrangelo, Savignano, and Rimini have declared thematic's in favour of the movement, Letters from Rome of the Sth state that four English line of battle ships hays appeared before Ancona. NAPLES. 1,800 men belonging to the Swiss regiments have been dismieeed, and are about to leave for Marseilles on their way home with the consent of the French minister. THE MASSACRE AT PERUGIA. The Giornale di Rome of the 4th contains a long vindication of the Swiss troops sent to quell the in surrection of Perugia. After declaring that all the accounts of that event are mere calumnies, it states that on the 20th ult. M. Lattanzi, a patrician of Perugia, recommended the provisional government not to offer any resistance to the Papal troops ; but 1 1 that, finding his efforts vain, he left the town, and left the rest to Colonel Schmidt, who at once commenced hla march. The first shots were tired by the insurgents ; for what followed the Oiornak refers to Colonel Schmidt's report, rectifying, how ever, the error committed in stating that Colonel Cerotti, of Tuscany, commanded the insurgents; instead of whom it was Carlo Bronchi, who came over from that country to take the command. "After such a determined resistance on the part of the rebels," observes the 6tiornak, " where is the wonder that tires broke out, mischief was done, and some innocent persons pe rished ?" And it reminds its readers of what occurred at Paris in 1848, at Genoa in 1849, at Vienna in the same year, &c. The remainder of the article is wholly devoted to the peculiar cases of atrocity men tioned in former accounts, which are mooed in different ways. Thus, if the blacksmith Pesserini was murdered with his wife and 'Wee-in-law, it was because a dead soldier was found in his house; the innkeeper Marini was shot because he most impru dently put his had out of the window; and the other eases are disposed of ins similar manner. The article concludes with declaring that the govern ment regrets the eveuts of Perugia, but that the responsibility rests with those who commenced the I conflict, and announces that the Pope has sent a large sum to relieve the sufferers. THE PRUSSIAN AND AUSTRIAN PROPOSALS. BERLIN, MONDI.T. The Prussian Gault* publishes an article, in which the earlier proposals of Prumia and the latest proposal of Austria to the Federal Diet are placed in Comparison. The article says, amongst other thing., as follows :—" Austria intends by its proposal to request the Prises Divest to accept the post of Com mander-in-Chief of the Federal army. The possessor of the chief power in the states of Prussia can never be personally responsible to the Diet. ° The article concludes thus :—" It is easy to perceive how that a member of the Federal Diet, which is at the same time a belligerent Power, can make a proposal the acceptance of which would render dubious all unity of action, and force Germany to commence a war by which it would be ruined. The Federal Diet has to choose between the proposals of Prussia and Austria; it as accept the former, or, by the acceptance of the latter, deprive Germany of all power of action, even also of the power of energetically negotiating fur peace. It would also lower the military power of the Ger man states to the organisation of the old army tf the:German Empire. The German nation will not doubt for a moment on which side lie the reeogni tion and desire for that which is now above all things needed for the Fatherland." SWITZERLAND. BERNE, JULT 11. The Federal Assembly hu elected the President of the Swiss Confederation for 1860 in the person of the Federal Councillor M. Frey }femme. M. K nasal has also been chosen Vice-President. M. Ziegler hal been re-elected chief of the military general staff. TRIESTE, JULY it. Yesterday fourteen war steamers were still at Lenin.

The interview between the two Emperor, announced by the Moniteur to take place this day, strengthens the general impression that peace is ee l good as made. A very strong belief prevails that the principal bases of the treaty will be directly agreed to between the two sovereigns, and that the congress, which must coins afterwards, will only be called upon to regulate the details of the new settle-. meet of Italy. Villafrancs, where the important interview was to have taken place at 9 o'clock this morning, is a town of 8,000 inhabitants, situated about four miles from the respective head•qusrters of the opposing armies. The ceremonial of the meeting was probably regulated according to pre cedents of the first empire. The two sovereigns, each accompanied by a large staff, will have arrived simultaneously at a house selected for the interview. Military chancellors appointed on either side will have drawn up minutesof the conference which will serve u the basis of future negotiations. It is pre sumed that immediately after the conference the Emperor Francis Joseph will have returned to Verona, and the Emperor Napoleon to Valleggio. Although the French language is usually that of diplomacy, I learn that, out of courtesy to the Emperor of Austria, Napoleon 111. has consented to speak in German, with which he is perfectly familiar. The Debate says : The object obsdaately puma by English policy has been attalned to this assn, that the intervention of Prussia and Germany has teen, if not prevented, at least so frr delayed dist the armistice has now cows, and profoundly modified the plural aftuation. It remains to be seen how Prussia, which had contrived to seem to threaten France without helping Mullis, and which probably thaught herself very clever in raisiog hopes or ezci.ing ansiety among all partite without taking upon herself any engagemente—it remains, we my, to be seen how Pretests will like to bear the heavy burden of her army and her landwehr during the five weeks of the truce. If Austria feels that it has a right to complain of Prussia. the conclusion of an armiatice so em barrassing and so onerous for the Prussian government is not a had way of showing bee displeasure. A Vienna letter of the Bth, speaking in precisely the same spirit as the Debats, says: Bach la the spirit of the Austria; government that it would rather Lae a province than yield any Wag to liberal principles. Orrmuy has been niggard of her aid, became she wanted a change in the internal policy of Austria, and nearly Joseph, teeing himself placed In a dilemma which forted him to yield either to Germany or to France, preferred taking the latter course. The Bourse wu somewhat heavy in the morning, owing to large cash sales, induced by the late great rise. The Rents, however, became firm in the after noon, and clued with a further improvement of 25e. for cub, and 15c. for account, at 68fr. be. and 68fr. Ibe. Mobilier left off without change. Rail ways were from 6fr. to 10fr. lower. The Pain's complains with much bitterness that the Austrian journals represent the suspension of arms es having been agreed to in compliance with the "reiterated instances" of the French, who have accepted all the conditions "imposed by us." No doubt this mode of stating the case is very wide of the truth ; but the Patric should recollect that the system of postponing the truth to the purposes of the moment is not peculiar to Vienna. It prevails in Paris. Only two days ago the Potrie itself pro mulgated the false news that the armistice wu con cluded at the request of the Emperor of Austria. Whether it was an instrument in the hands of au thority, or whether, speaking without knowledge, it tort upon itself to mike an averment which it fancied would be popular, the Pa tree is equally 'stopped from the right to make a display of virtuous indignation against the semi-official press of Vienna. It is reported from Berlin that the Emperor of Ruseia will shortly arrive there to be present at a family conference in which it will be decided whether, after the abdication of the King, the crown shall be conferred upon the Prince Regent or upon his son, Prince Frederick William, the husband of the English Princes' Royal. In consequence of the late catastrophe at Bor deaux, M. Damn', the manager of the water-works of the city, has been suspended by the mayor. THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA. LIVERPOOL, TUVIDLT llossoio.

If I have been clear enough in my description of the battle of Solferino, which I sent you the day before yesterday, you must ham seen that the posi tions the Austrians held during the action had the effect of a gigantic " curtain," with the Monte della Room u • bastion to protect it. The road from Le Orole to Solferino, San Cassino, Cavriana, and Volta, the main road from the last-named village to Cerlongo and Giddies:do in the plain, form right and left the approaches to the front of these formid able positions. About 20 yards from the Rocca of Solferino, facing the Costa Meseta', where the cemetery of the village is situated, a labyrinth of narrow paths makes its way between the steep gradients of the hills. This labyrinth, which runs from the centre of the village east and north in the direction of Monte San Pietro and Mont Atto, leads to the many farms, hamlets and fields which dot the country. You must not forget that in these hilly jorovincesof Upper Lombardy the land property le divided into smaller portions than in the plain. Small farms, fields of two or three acres, with tiny cottages gut tered here and there, form, generally speaking, the territorial division of the 'Veronese and Bresciana provinces. If you except four or five instances yea would scarcely find a large landowner in this part of Italy. Almost all the villagers have got their field, from which, if the crops of corn, silk, and grapes are good, they draw incomes of from 301. to 401. yearly, on which the family live. All these farms and fields are separated by stone walls of very little height, bound together by roots of the deep green ivy. Now mad then those walla end in a picturesque shape), where some Saint or Madonna has been appoiuted as protector or protectrix of the neighbouring fields. It is a sort of shrine, some times elegant and cleanly kept, sometimes half de molished, according to the degree of devotion among the people. They are, however, always strong enough to offer shelter in a day of battle to fighting parties of soldiers. As you may easily imagine, the Austrians did not lore the opportunity of annoying them ; so our troops were obliged to carry them all at the point of the bayonet. Not speaking of Sol ferino, which, as I told you, was the most difficult position that had been carried by the French, the fields and hamlets above described were daring the day the scene of the most deadly contests. I saw several of them in the vicinity of Le Orole and Birche which were literally covered with dead bodies. I have counted more than 200 in a small field not 400 yards in breadth by 300 in length. They were heaped together without any clothes, for they had been stripped naked by the peasants of the neighbourhood collected there for the purpose of digging the raves. Some of those peasants had already exchanged their velvet giacchette for French or Austrian uniforms. One ugly clown was clad in an Austrian Lancer's green vest ; another wore the picturesque Zouave jacket of the Imperial Guard. Boys and children had put on the short whir" tunic of some Bohemian soldiers. Clad in such garments, they looked like to many madonne of Lo retto. I persuaded one of these boys to sell for a few zwanzigers an elegant Hungarian dolmas, which must have belonged to some orderly officer of the Austrian staff. What I have said of the defiles of Le Grote, Barche, Cavriana, and Sol ferino may be repeated of those of Tonticello and San Martino, carried by our gallant Piedmontese at such an enormou sacrifice of life. In this lad named place, which belongs to the Count Tracani, of Brescia, as well as at the Ceres*, a splendid country house of Signor Cominelli, of Salo, the dead bodies were so numerous, that the town council of Rivoltella was obliged to send about 200 working men to dig the graves. Yesterday, on my way back from Deseozeno, I had the curiosity to inspect once more these two now famous positions, which are not 200 yards from the main road. On my arriving at the Villa Trecani I was obliged to turn my horse and gallop away as fast as I could, for the stench was disgusting and the air was quite infected by it. In spite, however, of this I could not help stopping my horse for a few moments to witness one of the most touching scenes a man could see. A little to the left of the splendid gardens of the villa two ladies in deep mourning were kneeling at the foot of the hillock upon which the country mansion is built. Their fame, although convulsed by grief, revealed two of those Italian types of beauty which delight the world for ever on the canvas of Raffaelle and Leonardo. To disturb that pious sor row would have been a profanation. After a few minutes' contemplation I left the place. I had scarcely reached the main road again when I raw a carriage, which I supposed belonged to the unhappy ladies. An old servant was waiting on the road, and I could easily see by the sad expression of his face that he also was of the same mourning party. " Who are those ladies ?" I asked him, " and what are they mourning for ?" The old matt, bursting into tears, told me that the two Countesses Longhi had lost their only brother, who was a volunteer in the first regiment of the Piedmontese Guard. The Count had a large fortune, and had sacrificed his life to the national cause. One might come here to see how dreadful war is, and feel all the guiltiness of the tyrant who provoked and justified it. ILLY 6. The heat is terrible, and our soldiers who are en camped in the open fields are almost suffocated. Last night we hoped for a storm, but after a great deal of lightning and thunder the clouds dispersed, and the long-desired rain did not come to refresh the earth. This morning, at neon, the thermometer indi cated 97 deg. in the shade. In spite of the heat, the unitary condition of the allied armies is satisfactory enough. The Piedmonteee division to which the siege operations of Tetchier& has devolved is that which suffers most, for the men are obliged to work at the treoches day and night. This morning I rode towards Ponti, to see the progress made by our working parties, and found they were progressing admirably, in spite of the continuous fire of the be sieged place. Since the sortie of two nights ago, the garrison of Peachier& has not stirred, except in some marauding excursions towards Verona. They were not, however, successful ; and after a few boars' fight they retired with loop. As the French have esta blished a regular service of balloons, which are under the intelligent direction of the lemons aeronaut Godard, the fortresses of Peschiem and Verona are closely watched, so that we are able to know what is going on within their walla. The day before yesterday the balloon of Monsieur Godard could be seen over Peechiers, much to the amusement of our gay soldier.. At six o'clock the serial nounenissance wu over, and the balloon hav ing been ureic descended in the vicinity of Castel Nuevo, Godard and two offinre of the French staff, who were his companions. hastened to report that about 70 oxen had been collected by the Austriass at the Logue of Peechiers. A party of Zouivee was soon despatched in that direction, and a few hours afterwards the captured herd made its appear. ance in our camp. The e'en were tot kept, is the owners went to the Emperor and told him that the animals had been stolen the night before by a marauding party of Rotates. Hue Majesty soon ordered the herd to be restored to the proprietors, who went back to the village blessing the name of the generous monarch. N'icter Emmanuel did the same thing at Monvamhano ; and se sheep and oxen had been in this instance carried away by the suggestion of the deputali of Menem bano, he had them dismissed at once. Toe newly appoinred councillors are all good patriots, so that the people here lave applauded the royal decision. Till our batteries hove opened their fire against the walla of Tetchier& I shall have but little to report, for the whole of the allied army is still occupied in warlike preparations, which are scarcely worth no tice. Victor Emmanuel's head-quarters are still bete, but the village of Monzambano being oo small, what is called the foreign colony that follows the operations of the army was obliged to remain at PozzAengo. Prince Corsini, the Tuscan commis. sioner, two Russians, and two Spanish officer', toge ther with the }Jou. Colonel George Cadorw, are of this number. A few boors ago I met our gallant commissioner on hie way to Valeggio ; and in spite of the suffocating heat of the day, he was looking u hrignt and gay se if jut going to a St. James's levee. TUSCANY. FLORENCE, .11:1.1' 7. The first meeting of the Council of State was held this morning. The Council was opened with a speech by M. Bnoncompagni, Commissioner of his Majesty the Protector of Tuscany, and immediately entered upon its duties. The Abbe Rolliello Lam. bruschini and the Chevalier Üb&dino Perusal were appointed vice-presidents. Three bills were sub. mitted by the government, one on an urban guard, one on the municipal law, and one on the reform of the penal code. On the proposition of the Marquis di Capponi committees were appointed to report on thew measures. LOMBARDY. The Piedmoostese Gaulle contains a decree by the Governor-General of Lombardy abolishing the old (Austrian) laws which made a difference between the inhabitants because of their religious opinions. Those laws, it is observed, are contrary to the equality of citizens in the eye of the law which prevails in other parts of the monarchy, and are in compatible with the principles of modern civilisation. It is therefore decreed: "That in the Lombard provinces all the citizens, whatever the religion they proles', are equal before the law, and shah equally enjoy all civil and political rights as in the elder provinces of the monarchy. All orders and regulations of contrary effect are abrogated." GERMANY. The proposition unexpectedly made by Austria to the Frankfort Diet, to appoint the Prince Regent of Prussia Commander-in-Chief of the armies of the Con'ederation, has caused great astonishment and indignation at Berlin. Prussia wants to see the federal contingents united to her army, but the Austrian proposition is to Iwo the Regent of Prus sia, and drag him down from his independent posi tion as heed and director of a European state of the first order to that of an officer of the Germanic Con federation, in which Austria has a majority of yotes.
