LONDON. FRIDAY. OCT 21.

Tit, terms of the Treaty stated to have been
signed at Zurich by the Plenipotentiaries of Frane
and A ustria are no more than • laborious amplification
of thoee agreed to by the two EMPGII.OII at Villa-
franca. As neither the Government of Piedmeet
nor that of any other Italian State wee repreeentedat
that memorable interview, few if any traces of wine
or just regard for their interests are to be food ie
the conditions finally agreed to. Loothardy,divrelet of
her frontier fortresses, igen:rendered by Austria. sod
transferred to berilisia by France ; but 250 milliw
francs, or ten minima penode sterling, are ateeholl
by war of eompossatien. Had the pnblis debt.
of which this sum is said to fora • part, bees mow
erected fee parposse beoslicial to the newly-sn-
eezed province, or for objects dear to its industrious
people, the bargain Inlaid not appear to be very hard.
Bat her Italian ptenseekone wore ocitorimsely treated
by Austria as a draw-farm, whams ohs woe =algid,
from time to timo, to replenish bar exhanoted ax-
sheqeorr, and to till up the ranks of heir 111-paid
repl-
mrars. Over sod above the annual matted, the
proopeetive cepabllitirr of the Milanese ware met-
saw to meet Imperial edireeeles, anompt
which were coefessedly the net
titles, which, if not demolished, ought ger-
Willy to be heeded over with the territory es
whose eerge they stand. Their original purpose, a.
a means of domsetio repetesioa, is gone, and they sae
only in future be valued sa strongholds of power
sigaisot neighbours with whom the Court of Vienna
professes her willingness to live is peace, or against
the ialtabitanta of Venetia, whole disaffection she
pretends is about to be appeased by the new coo-
siltation of • separate and local Government under
the beet of the Imperial family. In any view of
the subject, therefore, Peachier& and Mantua
ought to go with Lombardy. One-looking
the rich unguarded plains that stretch from the
Ticino to the siincio, they will matinee to be re-
garded ooly aa • standing menace to the newly
constituted realm ; and it does seem particularly
bard that about the only tangible thing on which it
min be alleged the public debt raised in Lombardy
of recent years was spent should not be surrendered
with the inheritance to its rightful owners, they
being compelled to become answerable for the
squandered outlay.
Forgetful of the splendid promise held forth at
the commencement of the war, NAPOLCON 111. con-
sented at Villafranca to abet the reinstatement of

the banished Lords of Minute in Central Italy.
When a:I Europe subsequently raised the voice of
rtmosstrance he was glad to enable his newspapers
to point out that that rough draft of an accommoda-
tion contained no provision respecting the employ-
ment of force, glad to declare that not only had he
never contemplated playing the ignominious part of
',fastener of fetters on those he had beckoned into
revolt, but that he would not suffer them to be driven
back into thraldom again. In reply to the
urgent protests of Ragland that the people of the
Duchies ought to be permitted to choose their own
rulers and their future forms of rule, the French
EMPEROR has repeatedly gives the most explicit m-
ontanee that so far as France is concerned their free
choke shall not be interfered with. Yet, strange to
say, he now appi ars to re-affirm, in the formal docu-
ment which has taken weeks to elaborate at Zurich,
his readiness to aid in procuring the restoration
of the hated Viceroys of Imperialism to their
puppet thrones. Whether we are to read this
as the li'eral fulfilment of rash words
spoken at Villefranca, the practical interpre-
tation of which he reserves, or whether we are
to ascribe it to the vacillations of a mind swayed
alternately by contending interests, time must die-
el se. thing meanwhile is certain, that—es be-
tnien us and bin—there is no room for evasion or
uticersinty. 1 his condition of the treaty will
either pr .'e to b.• 111,1114P11 rtrtt,m, or we shall have
been f 'greatly deceived. We are not disposed to
apprehend the latter, and, to say the truth, we do
nut apprehend it.
Then we bare a pompous sounding article about
RD Italian Confsderatiun, which is to embrace
a:l the governments of the Peninsula—Muffle, in
right of her fettO!ion of Venetis, being included x-
preeely by assns—to be presided over by the Pore,
and to hay* at its disposal a Federal army. Even
without the restoration of the reactionary rulers of
the Duchies, it is easy to ace what the predominant
el, tarots in such a federadiy would be. Nsplee,
Itorne, and Venetia, under arch-ducal administra-
tion, would eventually outweigh in compete or in
conclave all the influences of the rest of Italy. It
wou:d be, is a word, au anti. Italian league—a league
of higotry eg Jest toleration, of foreign despotism
against Dative lile•rty, of darkness against light. To
suppose the Ministers of VICTOR EMMANUEL euteriog
into such an anti-iia•i.insl pact is out of the question.
Were it possible to e main them blind enough to
dreem of ther..by being able eventually to grope
their war to the &kph:mien and complete emancipa-
tion of Dirk race, they would be restrained by the
eelatary remembrance that they are, after all, the
Mkirstere of a voneritutional Sovereign, and that to
a freely el cirri Chamber they must ere long
render an ac.;uant of their acts and counsel*.
