THE PEACE.

(From the Saturday Renew.)
The great conjuror has once more aatotaahed the
admiring spectators, and yet the reflecting portion of the
audience would have been more genuinely curtsied if he had
acted Less entlnly in character. The end of tau Italian =-
rale is perfectly suited to the beginning, and bath ere
worthy of their author. It was a masterpiece of cooeistency
to terminate a l►wless war by a pir►tical peace, and to alarm
emetilished governments by the same act of treachery which
&lappet:v.B revolutionary levee. If the gratiticetlon of va-
ulty, or even the demonstration of an important truth could
be weighed In the balance against an imminent danger to
Europe, the steady oppoceate of Bonspartiet aggression
might console themselves by the obsolete triumph of all
their doctrines and predictions. The liberals and pommies-
gem who applauded the attack of a despot on an unoffending
neighbour are now forced to admit that in this instates at
least, good has not come out of deliterate evil. As mum of
the ativocetes of the Italian war complain with pa'hatic sim-
plicity, it wee in vain that, in defiance of all evidence sad
probability, they defended the diriaterested policy of France.
The anther of the war has been theta far successful beyond
his moat sanguine hopes, and he hes loft Italy less free than
he found her, end not more united or independent.
The mama rights which were invoked ais a
pretext for the wanton attack upon Austria are disposed of,
not only without scruple, but with a calculated insult. The
province which forms the sole gain of the Italian cense, Is
not even allowed to give i'eelf, nor to it given, t t the sove-
reign who would undoubtedly have commanded its choice.
The boastful telegram to the Empress avows at the same
time a repudiation of nationality and a della= t of the rules
of European public law. The Emperor of the Fretichamerts
the right of the Emperor of Au..tris to give Lombardy away,
sod be formally accepts the donation for himself. Unless
the anomaly is correzted by the neutral powers, a precedent
for French aggrandisement has been combined with •wantat
outrage on the feelings of the Italian people.
It must not be suppieed that the arrangements of Villa-
franca are final ur binding upon Europe. Au,tria, having
received the Lombard sovereignty at the hand. of the great
