EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, TIJUDAT ZVI:WINO.

I said on Saturday that the imperial programme,
" Italy free to the Adriatic," would be mutilated.
The French word which I used was *steeple. It
was plain to me that we had entered upon a phase
of the Emperor's " moderation," and inasmuch as
from the beginning he had disclaimed anything for
himself, it was equally clear that the only field open
for the exercise of his moderation was the interest or
the expectations of his ally. My timid conjectures
fell far short of the reality which we now know.
Guided by the sudden change of tone which I ob-
served in people about the court, I was prepared to
see the principle of Italian nationality so far broken
in upon as that Venice would have been a so-called
independent state, and the quadrilateral given
up to the Germanic confederation. But it
never occurred to me to suppose that the
whol- Venetian state would be left purely and
simply in the possession of Austria. I say purely
and simply, although I remark the statement of the
official telegram that Venice is to form part of an
Italian confederation, of which the Pope is to be
" honorary " president. Attaching to the word
honorary its usual and accepted meaning, I infer
that the Pope is to have no power in Italy out of his
own states. If this be so, lam right in my first sup-
position that the Italian inhabitants of Venetia will
remain under the foreign and detested domination
of Austria precisely as heretofore. It it be other-
wise—if the Pope's suzerainty in Italy is to be
something more than nominal, it will follow that
Sardinia is to be made a vassal of the Pope,
which is a redisctio ad absurdum.
It is now a great historical question whether the
blooi shed et Magenta and Solferino flowed for any
adequate object. There are many who were op-
' posed to the war in its inception, and who yet
wished it well afterwards on account of the hope
that Italy would be really free, and the peace of
Europe settled upon solid grounds. But with all
the diffidence which befits an humble individual
offering a hasty opinion upon a new and unexpected
phase of a vast international question, I eubmit that
the buses of peace cootained in the Emperor's
despatch to the Empress do not contain the germs
of a permanent settlement of the Italian difficulty.
The sole tangible result of the great
war which it announces is that the Sar-
dinian territory will be augmented by the
annexation of Lombardy. This addition to the

Sardinian states, considerable though it be, is not
sufficient to constitute that powerful and inde-
pendent state in the north of Italy which it has
been lately hoped might be created between
Austria and France. Austria will be as dangerous
a neighbour to Piedmont as ever. Any fine morn-
ing she may take possesaion of the open town of
Milan as soon as the French troops are withdrawn.
For anything that appears in the despatch the
Grand Dukes of Tuscany, Modena, and Parma, are
to be restored to their dominions, and with them
all the Austrian influence and Austrian
opinions which were the moving cause of the
war. I say nothing of the fate of the Venetians,
abandoned to the Austrian yoke without conditions.
Poor Manin ! I knew him well. He has happily
not lived to see this day, when the freedom of Italy
to the Adriatic is interpreted by the chosen de-
fenders of Italy as compatible with Austrian domi-
nation in Venice.

It is very curious to read in the Sleek of this
morning a leading article by M. Havin, written be-
fore the news of the peace wu known, which, as
his mouth will now be shut, may be takes as the
political last will and testament of that leading
advocate of the Italian cause. He, nothing doubt-
ing of what was agreed upon between the
two despotic Emperors at Villafranca yes-
terday, said :—" Italy will be free, in ac-
cordance with the engagement entered into
by France in the face of the whole world—free
from the Alps to the Adriatic." " There has been a
talk of an independent archduke at Venice, and of I
know not what Germanic combination for the occu-
pation of the famous quadrilateral." " The object
of the war will not be obtained if Austria retain, a
single foot of Italy, even by procuration, and unless
the fortresses on the Mincio and Adige are made
Italian. Can the keys of Lombardy be in better
hands than in those of the Italians?" " Beyond the
announced programmes of the campaign, we see
lies and nothing but lies." "If a single Austrian
soldier remain iu Italy, everything will be
to begin again, and all the generous blood
shed will have been in vain." " The corollary of
the programme is the complete expulsion of all those
little princes who ever since 1815 were in a per-
manent conspiracy with Austria for the absorption
of Italy."
. .

These extracts are sufficient to show how bitter is
the disappointment of those friends of Italy who
thought that their cause was pined.
The Bourse opened very heavily, but at 12 o'clock
a government courier on horseback galloped up to
the front entrance with the Emperor's despatch
announcing that peace was signed. The Renter at
once rose nearly 2fr. from the lowest point of the
day. It closed at 69fr. 70c. for cash, and 69fr. 90e.
for acccount, with a rise of lfr. 63e. and lfr. 73e.
Mobilier rose 62fr. 60r. The railways were less
acted upon by the news, and only rose from dfr.
to 13fr.
