THE TREATY OF PEACE.

The following summary of the treaty of peace has
been received at Mr. Renter's office this morning :

ZURICH, Tarsi%Dir.

The following is an analysis of the treaty of peace
concluded between France and Austria u signed
by the plenipotentiaries, but which hu not yet re-
calved the ratification of the two governments.
The treaty commences with the usual preamble :
Desirous of patting au end to the calamities of
war, and forming into a definite treaty the prelimi-
naries made at Villerance, the two Emperors have
named their plenipotentiaries and communicated to
them full powers, and the said plenipotentiaries
have agreed to the following :
That peace shall be concluded, &c.

France returns to Austria the Austrian steamers
seized during the war, but on which judgment ham
not been pained, &c.
Austria gives up Lombardy, with the exception of
Mantua, Peachier', and es far as the; frontier line
fixed by a special commission (the limit of which is
already known).
The Emperor of the French declares that he
transfers theta portions of Lombardy to the King of
Sardinia.

Then follow the articles concerning the kuisdie-
tion, namely :
The option for the employee of Piedmont and
Austria to remain in the eervioe of the two ;govern-
ments and to bays the option of transferring within
a year their goods to Piedmont, and vice vas& ; they
would, however, retain their right to any property
left behind them when they move their domicile
from Austria to Sardinia, or from Sardinia to
Austria.

The pensions acquired by persons in Lombardy
will be respected and paid by the new government
to those entitled to them, and, in those cases where

it is so stipulated, to the widows and children of
those pensioned.

Then follows the settlement of the debt which
is the subject of two articles, one of which is an
additional agreement for the mode of payment.
According to these articles Piedmont is to pay to
Austria 40 million. of florin. (conventions-menu),
and besides is responsible for three-fifths of the
debt of the Monte-Lombardo-Venetian. Altogether
the debt transferred to Sardinia amounts to 260
millions of frenee.
Then follows Art. 18, which runs thin:

" Desiring that the tranquillity of the church and
the power of the Holy Father should be mauled,
aad being convinced that this end could not be ob-
tained in a more effective manner than by a system
suited to the wants of the populations, and by re-
forms the alosesity of which has been already recog-
nisi& by the Sovereign Pontiff, the two contracting
parties will unite their efforts in order that a reform
in the administration of the states of the church

should be carried out by his Holiness."

Art. 19 states that the territorial limits of the
independent states of Italy which did not take part
in the last war, could be changed only with the
assent of the other powers of Europe which took
part in forming and guaranteed the existence of
these states. The rights of the Grand Duke of
Tuscany, the Duke of Modena, and the Doke of
Parma are expressly reserved by the high contract-
ing powers.
Art. 20. The two Emperors will mist with all
their power in the formaticn of a confederation of
all the states of Italy, the object of which will be
the preservation of the independence and integrity
of Italy, which will bemire the development of the
moral and material interests, and will watch over
the defence of the interior and exterior of Italy by
means of a federal army.
♦`enetia, which will remain under the rule of the
Emperor of Austria, will form a part of this con-
federation and will participate in the rights and in
the obligations of the federal treaty, the clauses of
which will be established by the representatives of
all the states of Italy.
Art. 21 stipulates that persons having taken
part in the late events will net be attacked either in
their person or their property, and can remain un-
molested in the two countries.
Art. 22. The present treaty shall be signed and
ratified, and the ratification shall be exchanged at
Zurich within fifteen days.
Other articles stipulate that Austria shall be
obliged to free from military servioe the soldiers
belonging to the territory which she gives up.
, Austria undertakes likewise to restore the secs-

rides and deposits of private persons placed in the
public establishments belonging to Austria.
Art. 16 grants to the religious establishments in
Lombardy the liberty to dispose freely of their pri-
vate and landed property, if the possession of such
property is incompatible with the laws of the new
government.
