starling in the notes in circulation, occasioned by •
decrease of upwards of two millions in the private
deposits, coupled with a decrease of one million in
the government deposits. The bullion has declined
&bent half a million sterling.

Owiog to some unexplained cause the letter of
our Paris correspondent has failed to arrive. The ,
Paris papers of yesterday and to-day continue to
disease the terms of the peace according
to their several predilections. The Univers,
the organ of nitramontanism, rejoices that the
Emperor hu not only deceived the people of Italy
—the " revolutionary party," u it styles them—bat
outwitted Europe, and especially diuppoiuted the
hopes of those who wished for a diminution of the
authority of the Pope. The Univers says :
By the side of the pretensions of the revolutionary
party roes others not loss dangerous, which be bee not
ler ably Irastrated—namely, the pretentious of the venous
Powers. Having with somewhat unchivsleoni dexte-
rity kept shot from the war, which they thought would
tarn to their advantage, the Powers intended to intervene

gulate the stairs of Italy in their congress, by a mejoeity of
forces. Perak reckoned much on this and England

selves with introducing great amelioretions in the
government of the domain of St. Peter, and we have
read the programme of them every day, as drawn up by the
English journals. Tte (woods of the monarchical principle

, is attialied by this result. French wit, It must ha owned,
makes it a source of amusement, and many a merry jest may
be heard in the wrests on the disappointment of the Prue-
' dans and the English.

The Comatiutioneel gives an explanation of the

peace which in effect represents Napoleon leas as the
"Magnanimous Paciticator" than as the 'victim of

circumstances, but the writer remarks that " it gives
French influence the most complete satisfaction that

could be desired."

The Minister of War has, by telegraph, counter-
manded the departure of any more troops for Italy.

ITALY.

LOMBARDY.

Austria has given in Tuscany, Perms, Modena, and
Rome, it would be madness to have faith in her. She
must yield once for ever end submit to her fate for
the sake of European peace. Let, therefore, the
liberal party in England, let the Emperor of
the French understand this great necessity,
if they wish to prevent for the future the dreadful
consequences of a second and more ravaging war.
This morning, as I was going to visit some Piedmon-
ts's officers at Saliouze, I met General La Rocca, the
chief of the Sardinian staff, who wssoa his way to
Valeggio. On my reaching Selionze, I heard that
his /Szcellency had been sent to the French head.
quarters, with the object of definitively settling the
conditions of the armistice. Victor Emmanuel, I
have been told, has no anxiety about the result of
the pending negotiations, and he was heard to say
that in spite of the armistice the Italians will not be
losers in the game.
The wounded in the battle of Solferino, who are
now lying et the hospitals of Deeenzane and Brescia,
are for the most part going on favourably. The
people of the last mentioned city have proved so
kind and so attentive to them that the military
authorities were obliged to order that both wounded
officers and soldiers should leave the houses of the
townspeople and go to the hospitals. One could
scarcely visit a house in Brescia without encounter-
ing a French or a Piedmontese warrior. The birth
place of Arnaldo had been thus turned into n second
Capita. Our soldiers were consequently indulging
too much in hospitable delight', and their recovery
was sometimes retarded in consequence. Before the
armistice was signed Brescia had been already forti-
fied. The commend of the pleoe had been given to
General Seafront, one of the most daring and distin-
guished officers of the Piedmontese army, who keeps
it still. I think that by to-morrow the head-
quarters of the King will move from here
to the last-named city. I shall of course
follow, and send you information concerning
the diplomatic negotiations which will be
to a certain extent carried on at his Majesty's
headquarters. During the negotiations our army
will garrison the principal towns of Lombardy, end
the French will occupy the positions we now hold.
In the meanwhile I believe the headquarters of
the French Emperor will be removed either here
or to Pozzolengo. It is however supposed that his
Imperial Majesty will shortly go to Paris, and atop
there till peace is settled or war recommenced.
