CLOSE OF THE DANISH RIGSDAG. COPEN-
HAGAN, JULY 29.—The session of the Rigsdag was closed 1
yesterday by King Christian, in presence of the Crown
Prina and all the ministers, with the following speech from
the throne :—" Men of the Danish Bigsdag—As you are
now, after this abort but important session, about to return 1
to your private occupations, we feel the necessity of
bidding you farewell, and thanking you in person for all
you have effected for the welfare of the fatherland. We
have this da signed the draft of the constitution
three timesby the Rigedag, and we are convinced tat passed
so doing we have acted in the same spirit as our pre-
decessor of blessed memory, when he ratified the funda-
mental law upon the sth June, 1849. That law has now,
with your assistance, undergone the requisite revision
to render it applicable to all affairs of the realm.
It is our assured hope that our free and faithful people
will receive this fundamental law in a patriotic mint, sad
that all our subjects, without regard to the difference of
opinion which was allowed free and unhindered vent in
the early stages of the matter, will now, after its settle-
ment, unite with us in our efforts for the prosperous
development of the moral and material forces
of the state. We pray Almighty God that He may shed
His blessing upon the work we have accomplished toge-
ther, that He will give to all of no strength for farther co-
operation in fidelity and union, and thatHe will guard and
protect Denmark and the Danish people." The Official
Ocuette publishes the revised text of the fundamental law
of June 5, 1849, aocompenied with a royal letter dissolving
the hitherto existing Bigsrad for Denmark and Schleswig,
and thanking the members for their labours in the interest
of the country during &dooms times.

THE ARMISTICE BETWEEN ITALY AND
AUSTRIA.

The Florence correspondent of the Daub writing
on the 31st ult. says :

The armistice was signed yesterday, and pease is msg.
dered by everybody to be definitively seamed. The con.
ditiosis are as follows :-1. The troops will occupy their
present positions; 2. Austria will abandon Venetia;
3. That province will decide upon its destiny bye plebict•
tum. 4. The Tyrol and Istria are held in reserve, to be
the subject of ulterior negotiations. In reality, despite ,
this article 4, it is doubtful whether Istria or even the
Tyrol will be united to Italy. However, there may be
rectifications of territory with regard to the Trot
of a kind to afford Italy the guarantees she needs. This .
may be reasonably hoped, and it will be obtained ;
should Prussia at all second an ally without whom
she certainly would not have obtained the victory.
Prussia has requested Italy to send her plenipotentiary to
Prague to arrange a definite peace. Everything induces
me to believe that matters will proceed quickly, and that
before the end of the month of August all will be
finished. It would not be in accordance with the truth to
say that this peace is welcomed in Italy with enthusiasm.
There are thoughtful persons, however, who say that al
things considered this country has not much to complain of.
In reality it obtains what it has long wished to obtain,what
is indispensable to its existence, and what it had little bops
of obtaining so quickly and with such mall sacrifices. If
Italian arms have not been victorious, they have at all
events sustained the honour of the nation. There have ,
been sufficient acts of courage, energy, and devotion to ;
render fresh battles morally useless. To engage In fresh
battles solely to satisfy a sentiment of vanity would not
be worthy of a miscible people. Prom one point of view
it is anything but a matter of regret that the army will not
sesame ex.assive preponderance. The sole thought of Italy
ought tebe to organise herself internally to acquire by degrees
that true and durable strength which rumba from a state
of financial and economic prosperity, and thus attain what
may be called • nation's healthy state. It is by these
means that she will place herself in a position to exercise
in her turn an external influence, should she feel the
ambition. Such are the ideas which prevail with many
people. Senator liatteneci has developed them in a letter
published by the Opinion, and he certainly does not stand
alone in his opinion. The general feeling, however, rather
roes la the opposite direction.

GOODWOOD RACEEL—FriaLY.
The Goodwood meeting win:concluded with one of the hearted

Una eleven races, inclusive of two matches; but one of these fell
