THE NEGOTIATIONS FOR AN ARMISTICE.

PARIS, JULY 20.

The Moniteur of this morning says :—" In reply
to a communication from the Emperor Napoleon on
the 4th July, the court of Berlin declared that it
would only consent to an armistice upon condition
of the preliminaries of peace being concluded first.
" Negotiations were thereupon opened between
the courts of Paris and Berlin, which resulted in
the court of the Tuileries recommending to the
belligerents the bases of an arrangement which
Prussia considered sufficient to allow of the conclu-
sion of an armistice.

"Prussia engaged to abstain from all acts of
hostility for five days on condition that Austria
would pursue a similar course, and within that time
the Austrian government must make known its
acceptance or refusal of the bases agreed upon.
" The government of the Emperor hastened to
transmit this communication to the knowledge of
the Austrian government.

" If the reply from Vienna be in the affirmative,
and Italy give ler assent, an armistioe may be
signed immediately."

THE WAR.

The Times this morning balances the probabilities of the
result of the expected battle on the Danube, giving to
each belligerent equal consideration and eulogy. The
forces gathered together by Austria are estimated at some-
thing like 400,000 and 600 field guns, and the spirit of '
this vast army leaves nothing to desire. Archduke Albrecht,
be commander, brings back with him from Italy the
prestige of victory ; and though there are the drawbacks
of the needle-gun and of the difficulties of the ground, it
would be irrational to feel an absolute confidence that
fortune will continue faithful to those Prussian standards
which it has t•itherto so constantly befriended.
The Daily News thinks that no decisive operations are
likely to be attempted by Prussia without the co-operation
of the army of the Crown Prince, which is still several
days' march from Vienna, though a railway line connecting
the two armies is now entirely in Prussian bands. The
Prussian army is in fine condition, and their reserves
. .

largely augmented, are at band, while delay would be gni;
favourable to the enemy. The Austrian army of the Danube
will be in some respects superior to that lately styled of
the North, as containing a larger proportion of purely Ger-
man regiments.
The Herald says " the unity of the north under the
leadership of Prussia," the annexation of territory which
at present intervenes between her western and eastern
provinces, and the " exclusion of the influence at Austria
as a power in the confederation," the ends which Prussia
has so steadily set herself to accomplish, must all be con-
ceded to her, if she can drive the Austrian court from
Vienna. But till she has done that these projects are
more or leis ',Wormy, fee even now a battle pined by
Austria might be the ruin of Prowls. •

CARLOW LUNATIC ASYLUM.

In reply to Mr. P. BIRINFORTI,
Lord NAAS mid that the office of medical superinten-
dent of this asylum had been tilled up by the late govern-
ment. A person holding each an office must be a qualified
physician and surgeon.

THE IRISH CHANCELLORSHIP.
Mr. MAGUIRE asked the right hon. gentleman the
member for Louth if it was the fact, as was stated on
Tuesday night by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that
Mr. Blackburn., who in his 85th year has been appointed
Lord Chancellor of Ireland, bad been appointed to the
office of Lord Justice of Appeal as recently as three
months since, and whether it was within his knowledge
when that appointment was really made.
Sir G. GREY—I was not in the house when the right
hon. gentleman made the statement which he is reported
to have made, and I can hardly believe th►t he made it.
It is notorious that Mr. Blackburn. was appointed to the
office of Lord Justice of Appeals in Ireland in 1856, ten
years ago. (Hear, hear.) Immediately after the passing
of the act by which that office was constituted I believe
it was perfectly well known that there was an understand-
ing why that act was paired, that Mr. Blackbnrne, having
held the office of Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and being
quite competent to perform the duties of the office of Lord
Chief Justice, should be appointed ; and the government
acted on that understanding.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—What I
intended to sa was, that Mr. Blackburne, having been
originally appointed to the office of Lord Justice by a
liberal administration ten years ago, was certainly three
mouths ago revising a decree of the Lord Chancellor of
Ireland. Some one told me at the time that there was an
appeal to him from the decision of the Lord Chancellor.

Sir P. O'BRIEN asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer whether the statement was correct, that on the
occasion of the Earl of Derby forming his administration in
the year 1858 the office of Lord Chancellor of Ireland was
offered to the present Lord Chancellor of Ireland, the
Right Hon. Francis Blackburne, and then declined by him
on the ground of his advanced age, or some similar reason.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—It is very
difficult to remember all the offers that were made in the
year 1858. I believe that Mr. Blackburne was requested by
Lord Derby to accept the office of Lord Chancellor of Ire-
land, but he declined to take it because he was then
in possession of a very dignified and permanent office,
namely, that just referred to by the right bon. member for
Morpeth, and he thought that the chancellorship did not
partake of the same permanent character. (Laughter.)
I do not think that age was alleged by Mr. Blackburne as
the reason for his refusal ; and "what similar reason " to
age the hon. gentleman refers to I am totally at a loss to
know. (Laughter.)
London, England, 1866-07-20

THE COAL COMMISSION.

Colonel SYKES asked whether the royal coal commission
was authorised to bore for coal in different parts of Great
Britain ; and whether it was understood thatexpensee might
be incurred to an unlimited extent without the previous
approval of the House of Commons.
Mr. WALPOLE said that there was nothing in the
commission giving the commissioners authority to bore for
coal, and it was not usual for such a commission to incur
expenses without reference to the Home-office, which
would, if needful, place the application before the Trea-
sury.
London, England, 1866-07-20

THE COAL COMMISSION.

Mr. GLADSTONE said it was desirable that the answer
given by the right hon. eentleman the Home Secretary
to the gnation of Colonel Sykes should be correctly un-
dentood Did the right hon. gentleman say that the coal
commission had no power to authorise boring! The words
giving such power were in the original draft of the ad-
dress, but were struck out.
Mr. WALPOLE said the right hon. gentleman was
perfectly correct ; there was no such power.

EXTRADITION TREATY WITH FRANCE.

been submitted to by the factors.
In foreign wheat the transactions were trifling, and the

THI zinumnox ?MATT WITH FRANCE_

The Daily News regards the bill for the amendment of
the law relating to extradition introduced by the Lord
Chancellor last night and prepared under the direction of
Lord Clarendon as perfectly legitimate in its scope and
purport ; and if it satisfies the susceptibilities of the
French authorities so far as to dissuade them from the dis-
continuance of the present treaty after the 4th of De-
cember next, it will avoid • scandal to the good
relations of the two neighbouring countries, and
to the civilisation of which they boast. Under
the new law, the magistrate will confine himself
strictly to the question of the authenticity of the deposi-
tions, and that authenticity will be taken for granted on
the production of the official signature or seal of the Minis-
ter of Justice, without any proof of the truth of the state-
ments contained in the depositions, which will be
admissible in evidence as documents of this kind
from foreign countries are ordinarily admitted in our
warts of justice. The French government, it seems,
has complained bitterly of the guilt or innocence of ac-
cused parties being inquired into by the English magis-
trates, and of the necessity of proving the depositions to
be true copies. These difficulties will now be removed,
and whilst the extradition treaty only applies to murder,
attempt :d murder, forgery, and fraudulent bankruptcy,
no foreign government can have a greater interest than
our own in preventing abuse of the right of sanctuary.

THE ITALIAN ARMY.

A letter from the Italian headquarters at Fer-
rara, dated the 14th, says:
I can state it on very good authority that 100,000
Austrians have been withdrawn from Venetia. Vicenza
is given up already, and Verona has no troop 3 to launch
forth against our approaching armies. Austria has gar-
risoned the forts, which will defend themselves more or
less till such time as the fate of the Hapsburg be decided
on the Danube. Here, at headquarters, it is calculated
that the troops called home to Vienna will arrive too late.
I state this merely as • topic of conversation in high
, military circles, without giving you any speculation of
mine on the matter. Strangely enough, Venice herself is
left strongly occupied by some 30,000 Austrians. There
are, it seems, other schemes in the air, though, on the
other hand, I know that Peresno received only yesterday
the designs of all the posts where torpedoes have been
sunk for his reception in Venetian waters. I could tell
you something else, but must not ; only I would advise
you to be particularly on the look-out for early
news from the Garda neighbourhood. By the by,
Cialdini is here for the moment, and there is a
crowd of generals with him at the Castello. The
pump of the Pc now is free, in boats, day and night. Al
to Cialdini's three bridges at Carbonarola, Chivica, and
Sermida, they are for the troops, masses of which are con-
tinuously crossing them, but I suppose that even civilians
are allowed to use them on foot. I have received a few but
very interesting details respecting the first moments
of freedom in Padua. Before it was known for certain
that the Austrians had evacuated it, an officer
in the Montebello Lancers, Captain Lebu, impatient
to know the truth, ordered his trumpeter to
follow him, and galloped into the strong city (la forte), at
the sounds of his one man, and to the rapturous astonish-
ment of the whole population. He cut the telegraphic
wires, detained some Austrian luggage-vans, made MIMI
prisoners, and then returned to report thotPsdus was free.
And Padua showed that she was free, and re-
velling in the delightful enjoyment of her feeling
so. No more than half an hour after Captain
Lebu had left the town, after his plucky reeog-
salon of it, the first squadron of the laaoen mimed
Padua treoeforisecL Every window bad a triertiouzed flag;
every balcony was covered with carpets ; the very streets
with cloth, that the horses might not tread the dust, while
their cavaliers were literally enveloped in a shower of

Maid anti Military.

PORTSMOUTH, Jur.? 26.
A court-martial aasembled on board her Ma-
jesty's ship Victory to-day, under the presidency of Cv
tain E. Tatham, to try Lieutenant M. R. IL Griffith,
second lieutenant of her Majesty's ship Gladiator, on the
following chargea : 1. For having, on or about the 10th of
June, been guilty of an set to the prejudice of good order
and discipline. 2. For behaving disrespectfully to Cap-
tain Apra, of the Gladiator, on being spoken to by him on
the nibject referred to in the first charge. 3. For having
on several days named been guilty of further acts to the
prejudice of good order and discipline. The simple facts
of the case appear to be them : When the Gladiator was
off the island of Heligoland, Captain Aplin sent • boat
ashore with an orderly who was the bearer of a letter
addreieed to somebodz on the island, with directions for
the orderly to await an answer and return with
it in the boat Soon afterwards Lieutenant Griffith and
other officers who were ashore on leave, returned to the
ship in the same boat, and on the captain inquiring for the
orderly, he was told that be was left ashore, and that the
boat had been ordered to return for him. On being spoken
to by Captain Aplin, Lieutenant Griffith said he did not
think he was in the wrong ; that he bad waited for the
orderly twenty minutes or more, and for anything he
(the prisoner) knew, he might be in a pot-shop. The pri-
soner added that Captain Aplin had shown a want of re-
spect to the officers in expecting them to wait for an
orderly, and that it was the officers' boat, to
the use of which they were entitled. Captain Aplin
called the officer of the watch, and requested Lieutenant
Griffith to repeat these observations, but he refused to do
so. The commander then gave directions for the daily
routine of the ship to be carried out under his (the coin-
mender's) directions, leaving Mr. Griffith to perform only
the duties df his own watch, the first lieutenant being then
ashore on sick leave. The prisoner objected on the ground
that this order was unmerited, and was clograding to him-
self in the eyes of the officer% and crew, and this statement
ho repeated in • hatter "on service." Subsequent letters
were written, and the result was that Lieutenant Griffith
was placed under arrest. The defence was that the order
given to the aloer in charge of the host did not woolly
, URA he was to wait teethe orderly ; that Captain Aplis had
used very offensive exprmnona to the prisoner, and that
the latter had not used the language imputed to him ; and
that as to the chair of writing letters " on service," this
was the only way in which an akar could obtain redress-
. The court found the first charge partly proved, inasmuch
; -as the prisoner did take the host, but bad no intention fit
t the time of doing an sot to the prejudice of good order arid
'discipline. The esoond sad third charges were found to be
proved, midst» was senteneed to lees two years
i-of his the. as a sad*? bsdismissed the 'hip.

Till Al LANTIO TZLMORAPR.

The hourly-expected completion of one of the
greatest enterprises of the age leads the Times to dwell on
the wonderful prospect thus opened to the world. Not
only will this country gain by its ready communication
with the United States, but also by the facilities which
the telegraph will give for corresponding with British
North America. These countries on the north and the
whole region far away westward to British Columbia and
California will assuredly be before long in hourly com-
munication with the Old World. Indeed, now that the
great enterprise is completed, there can be no doubt that
in a few years the entire globe will be spanned by the
telegraph wires, and the news of the planet will be given
every morning in the London papers. The Atlantic makes
the only great break in the continuity of the land of the
globe. Tho three old continents are a single mass. The
wires may be carried from Singapore over island after
island until they reach Australia. In the New World
they may be laid easily from Labrador to Patagonia. By
bridging the Atlantic these two great systems are brought
into connexion. It is a great work, a glory to our age
and nation, and the men who have achieved it deserve to
be honoured among the benefactors of their race.
The Daily News glances back at last year's failure, and
traces the quicksands avoided by those who had sufficient
penetration and sagacity to see that, after all, the enter-
prise was not in itself impracticable. The time is at hand
when the strong convictions of those who not only
equipped this year's expedition but who have been firm
believers in, and faithful servants of, the cause of Atlantic
telegraphy, will reap their reward in honour and repute, as
well as in more material forms. Giving a word of praise
to the modesty and reticence which have distinguished
the proceedings of this year, the Daily News concludes
with mentioning the cogent reasons which render the fate
of the 1858 cable no criterion for what may happen now.
In the eight years which have passed, submarine tele-
graphy has taken enormous strides, and we may fairly
defer to the keen and practised intellects who now speak
of the future with the calm confidence of conviction. The
probable effects of 'access cannot be fully realised in
the first blush of victory, but in future years the construc-
tion and laying down of the Atlantic cable will form an
important chapter in the history of civilisation, and the
names of the energetic, thoughtful men who have pro-
moted it, in spite of contumely, opposition, and indif •
ference, will rank with those of Stephenson and Franklin,
of Wheatstone and Watt.

The Star, observing that one reform begets another.
urges that a reduction in the rates of ocean postage must
follow the Atlantic Telegraph. The more closely countries
ant united the pester will he the tendency to improve
end the eheaper any other mews of communication. If
th• Peetroaster.General bad the courage to at ones reduce

the rate to &I. be woold be eustained by public opinion

REFORM DEMONSTRATION AT BRIGHTON.

The Brighton Reform League last evening held
an open-air demonstration on a large enclosed plot of
meind called " The Level"—the " people's park of
Brighton, the centre of which was occupied by between
Ave and six thousand working men who for two hours
stood and listened,with the utmost quietude to the speeches
miasma to them, and voted with perfect unanimity and
eaniestneas the resolutions submitted by the various
ftifeare. It was entirely a working man's meeting ;
all the addresses were delivered by working men, and
there was scarcely a white palm to be dietinguished
amidst the forest voting accord with the several resolutions.
Mr. James Thompson took the chair. Mr. Herring moved
the first resolution, which recognisedthe services of the
late cabinet, and mmured the members thereof that they
yet enjoyed the unabated confidence of the people ; de-
nouncing also the " sham liberals," whose conduct had
been inatiussental in placing the tory party in power.
The adoption of the motion was followed by chain for the
" expelled ministers." The second resolution declared
that the present House of Commons did not represent the
sentiments of the people, and affirmed the necessity for an
immediate and thorough reform, with a view to that end.
The tl.ird resolution declared for resident registered man-
hood suffrage, protected by the ballot. The chairman
then moved a petition to the Queen, praying her Majesty
to dismiss her present and recall her late ministry, which
was carried with enthusiastic cheering. The last resolu-
tion pledged the meeting to support the Brighton Reform
League, and to use every legitimate means for the attain-
ment of the objects for which ft was established.

quietly folded up the placard, and said he should preserve

brought out vociferous cheering. During the meeting and
at the end cheers were given for the Queen, Earl Rummell,
Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Bright, Mr. J. S. Mill, the borough

falling the vast assemblage dispersed, and in half an hoer
afterwards the Level and its neighbourhood were as quiet
as usual.

A letter from Baden contains the following :
" Last week 40 students arrived near the Castle of D or-
bacb, near Offenburg, from Friburg, accoenpaaii.d by a sur-
geon. They were armed with rapiers, and retired into the
interior of a forest, when they selected a suitable spot for
fighting duels on a large scale, 20 to 20. They fought for
a long time, inflicting wounds on each other is the face
and arms. One is said to have his life endangered. What
was the origin of this battle ? Politics. 20 Wen far Aus-
tria end 20 for Prairie. This will give as idea of the

THE WAR IN ITALY.

FLORENCE, JULY 26.

A commission of naval officers has made a care-
ful inspection of the Italian fleet after the engage-
ment at Lissa. Their report states that the fleet •
will be able to put to sea again very shortly. It is
stated that in the two engagements at Borgo and
Levico the Medici division had 20 killed and 50
wounded. The Austrians had 30 killed and 300 pri-
soners. The Opuiions publishes a letter from the camp
which states that General Cialdini is near Isonzo.
The Austrians have abandoned Uldine and the
fortress of Osoppo. The fortress of Pahnsnuova is
preparing for defence. Twenty-five thousand
Austrian troops are stationed between Gratz and
Laybach. The formation of volunteer bands is
increasing in the district of Cadore. General
Govone is stated to have left Florence for Berlin.
Official reports from the Garibaldian headquar-
ters positively contradict a recent despatch of the
Austrian commander in the Tyrol relative to an
alleged Austrian victory on the 21st instant, near
Ledro. Despatches from Garibaldi himself state,
on the contrary, that his troops gained a complete
victory on that occasion, with a total loss of only
300 men. Be adds that the Garibaldians pursued
the Austrians after the engagement. Letters re-
ceived here from Venice state that the Austrians
are removing the archives and the books from the
i libraries.

BRESCIA, iCLT 24.

- .
The volunteers have advanced towards Loin- 1
bardo and occupied Cimengo and PontChieee with-
out resistance. On the same day an engagement
took place between the national guards under
Guicciardi and the Austrians, near Bormio, the
result of which is not yet known.
VIENNA, JOLT /6.
A telegram received here from the Austrian com-
mander in the Tyrol, dated yesterday, says :
" To-day the enemy in superior force attacked the
Austrian right wing at Valsorda. After an ob-
i atinate engagement, the enemy retreated in great
'haste towards Vigolo, with a loss of 80 killed, 60
i wounded, andmany prisoners. The colours of the
regiment also fell into our possession. This defeat
forced the enemy's. right wing to fall back upon
Pei:gine."

PAM. Jinx 28.
The Moniteur du Soft says :—" Letters from
Vienne state that the engagement near Presburg
on the 22nd inst. was turning completely in favour
of the Austrian, when the conflict was interrupted
by the news of the suspension of hostilities.
