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. Supposing
that done, they will stead face tt face with Ameris's big
brot'lrr. the Serena confederstion. The prceprct of •
general sad bugs European war is frightful. Tho Austrian
empire is in a most critical politica. The revolt of El 'army
lomittent, sad every other peoviace Is discontented. Ihn it
is not the ohne t of France to destroy Aastria. That would he •
game so dangerous as saprolit ,); spoleow, therefore, stops

and a fair peace at the pike of *actinide. Ilse Italian sway.
We thlok ehe will. AU Europe will now at ones step Is to
