IIXPRESB FROM FARM

(MOM 0111 OWN

PARIS, nuns: Immo.
The Moniteur at length gives an official form to
the assertion, already sedulously propagated by all
the semi-official organs, that the dictatorship of
various Italian states offered to, and accepted by, the
King of Sardinia is merely temporary, and entirely
without prejudice to the ultimate destination of
those provinces. This paragraph is no doubt pub-
'idled in pursuance of the resolution of the French

government, which was ventilated in London two
days ago in that anomalous language upon which I
have before remarked, which, assuming it to be
possible that a question may be partially resolved,
and at the same time wholly reserved, said it was
" decided that Tuscany should not be annexed to
Piedmont," and yet that no decision would be come
to about the settlement of Italy before the war was
over. It is necessary for the sake of historical
accuracy to repeat that this is not the view which
has hitherto been taken in Piedmont. The King
of Sardinia has both by acts and words accepted
not the provisional dictatorship but the absolute
sovereignty of Lombardy. This acceptance has been
repeatedly recorded in the official organ of Turin,
and the Piedmontese journals, anticipating the ob-
jection that half.a-dosen municipal councillors of
Milan (elected, by the way, under the tolerance of
the Emperor of Austria) were incompetent to change
the sovereignty of the country, fall back upon the
plebiscite of 1848 for that sanction of the Milanese
people which would be otherwise wanting to the
arrangement. Nevertheless it will be difficult now
for the Turin newspapers to oontradiot the Moniteur.
It is very possible that the King of Sardinia, pressed
by diplomatic considerations, may have been a
consenting party to the insertion of the paragraph
which appears to-day. Indeed, it seems probable
enough that the " decision" awkwardly alluded to
in the London telegr►m, alluded to the termination
of a conflict which had been going on for some time
between the allied sovereigns.
The Freese, noticing a new version of the bases
of a proposal for peace attributed to Prussia—
namely, that Lombardy should be annexed to Pied-
mont, Venice declared a free state, Modena, Parma,
and Tuscany restored to their legitimate sovereigns,
and that the quadrangle of fortresses, instead of
belonging exclusively to Austria, should form part
of the confederated states of Germany, says that
this scheme is not more acceptable than the one
suggested yesterday, because it is still inconsistent
with the French programme that "Italy was to be
freed to the Adriatic." I cannot agree with the
Press.. There would, I submit, be nothing
inconsistent with the Emperor's programme
in accepting such a proposal. The Press.
asks whether the Italians living in the quadri-
.

lateral are not as much billions as those in
other parts of Italy ? Assuming that they are, it
does not follow that they might not be essentially as
free, as members of the Germanic confederation, es
they could reasonably expect to be under any other
combination that could be devised. For my own
part, I should like to see Victor Emmenuel king of
the whole of Northern Italy; but since the difficul-
ties in the way of this seem to be so great that his
intimate ally, the French Emperor, is constrained to
frown upon the plan—since Italian unity is by
almost common consent looked upon as impractica-
ble, it would surely be a pity, if the peace
of the world depended upon it, that any
too obstinate adherence to the rigid letter
of a picturesque programme of the war
should stand in the way of a settlement which
would effectually deliver the whole of Italy from
Austrian domination, and give her people immense
chances of renovation. I cannot think that the
French Emperor would be held justified in refining
such propositions; but I greatly doubt the correct-
ness of the indepersdaere's information when it states
that Prussia is prepared to bring them forward. Aus-
tria is, I fear, not yet sufficiently humiliated to accede
to them. And yet if she were well-advised, she must
see that she could not do better. To tarn her out of
Lombardy is only a work of time, and the French
and Sardinian armies will surely do it before long.
It is shocking to think that thousands of human
lives must be thrown away merely to prove that
Austria will not give anything up without fighting.
News from Algeria, given by the Patrie, states
that troops are fast quitting the colony, and that a
corps d'armee of 40,000 men, composed in part of
regiments now in Africa, is shortly expected in the
; Adriatic.

The Bourse opened with considerable animation,
on the strength of the note in the Moniteur explana-
tory of King Victor Emmannel's dictatorship in
the Italian States. The Rent. rose to 62fr. 25c. for
cash and account, but at half-past 2 very large sales
made by the parquet brought it down to 61fr. 00c.
and 61fr. 76c., being a rise of 10c. for money, and
exactly yesterday's price for time. Mobilier rose
3fr. 73e. Railways left off almost without change.
The important prosecution againt the coutissiers of
the Bourse was brought to a close to-day. They
were every one of them sentenced to the minimum
of the title fixed by law for doing broker's business
without belonging to the body—viz., 10,600 fr.
There was, I apprehend, no doubt about the law which
the Court of Correctional Polioe was called upon to
administer. It is a case of dura lex red lee. Many
of the traverser,, respectable and wealthy men,
have done openly and with impunity, for the last
quarter of a centuty, the very thing for which they
are now prosecuted. It was abundantly proved at
the trial that they had habitually acted u agents
for the licensed brokeri who moved the public pro-
secutor against them. They appeal, as a matter of
course, and they continue their affairs at the Bonne
as if nothing had happened. It is quite plain that
some administrative or legislative change must be
made, for the regular corporation of stockbrokers
is confessedly too limited to transact the public busi-
, nese. The general opinion is that they have been
foolishly making war upon their best customers,
who will now be driven to destroy their monopoly.
