THE DAY'S NEWS

on the state of foreign affairs, in t& Uon
.mons last night. It will be found fully recorded i
our, parliamentary summary. He introduced hi
remarks by saying that he was glad that day',
Moniteur had announced a reduction in the land ark
sea forces of France, and hoped that it was a peaceful
augury of the future. The reasons for the peace,
signed between the two Emperors, were, according
to the noble lord, as follows :—Louis Napoleon was
afraid that the war would extend into Germany.

and eventually all over Europe. Francis Josep'l
thought that he could make better terms of mac(

Napoleon than if he had waited for the
neutral powers to interfere, whom he thought
would offer less favourable terms. As to the latter,
Lord John assured the House that so far as England
was concerned no intention -of such a nature was
entertained. So far as the peace of Villafranca was
concerned the English Government had nothing to
do, nor would they take part in any proceedings in
connexion therewith ; but the future of Italy was to
be discussed at a congress, and Great Britain had
been asked to send a representative ; that a represen-
tative from this county should attend such a con-
ference was necessary, as Lord Clarendon had, in 1856,
called the attention of the Paris Conference to the
then Condition of Italy. The noble lord read a
despatch from the French Governme
the scope and intentions of the Conf.(
at Zurich. .He then proceeded to state what her
Majesty's Government intended to do. They could
not join the congress, unless Austria took part in it ;
nor could they take any part in it until the treaty to
be drawn up, agreed to, and ratified at Zurich, should
be laid before them. He entered at some length into
other phases of the question. Respecting a general
confederation of the Italian States, he agreed that
no union or community of views could be expected.
He asked, could they agree on the great question of
freedom of worship? As to the ret

,urn of Gr

Dukes, he said that the two Emperors would not
lend the assistance of any of their troops for such an
affair ; and the
_people of Tuscany were to choose
their own form of, government, which Her Majesty's
Government could not object to. The third difficulty
in the settlement of affairs, was the temporal supre-
macy of the Pope, which he did not think would be
acceptable to the people of Italy. He further stated
that a confidential agent of France had been
sent to Vienna, to agree as to the terms of the
treaty, and added that he believed the Emperor
Napoleon was anxious that Italy should
have the benefit of self-government. In
conclusion, the noble lord said that it
would be premature for . Parliament to chalk
out the course it would pursue until the proper time
came for action. Mr. Disraeli at some length pointed
out the absurdity of many of the noble lord's state-
ments, and called upon him to be more full and ex-
plicit in his explanations. Ile severely commented
upon the proceedings of Lords Palmerston and Rus-
sell on the Italian question generally.

The news from the Coiitinent 'this morning is
important—at least so far as regards France—and
what concerns France at present may be said to
involve the interests of Europe.- The Paris
Moniteur of yesterday states that the Emperor
has decided that the army and navy of France
shall be restored to a peace footing without the
least possible delay. But even this does not
prove that peace is at once to be determined
upon. Indeed, every day seems to bring the proof
with it of the shortness of the present peace. The
Turin correspondent of the Morning Post states that
the Austrians openly say that a short time will see
them once more masters of Lombardy. Their press
openly speculates on such a contingency, and reckons up
their friends there on whom they may depend. But
all this depends on an Austrian army in the plains
of Lombardy, and consequently these speculations
spring from the expectation of another war—an
expectation justified by the fact of the Austrians
holding the two gates of the new Piedmontese pro-
vince. In faCt, giving Lombardy to Victor Emmanuel,
and allowing the Austrians to hold Peschiera and
Mantua, is like selling a house and reserving the
Aght of entering it whenever you please. He is
really in a worse position than before. The Ticino
was nearer home, and was more easily defended, and
the country was put to a much less expense than it
will be now.

The principal organs of public opinion in Europe
seem to prognosticate war, but do not seem to be
clear as to whence it will originate. Some believe
the Italian question will again give birth to another
appeal to arms between the late antagonists, which
is not very likely; others think that France and
Austria will unite to fall on Prussia, whose inter-
ference has pleased neither party, and that England
will be forced into taking part with the latter as
being of the same school of politics, and of liberal
institutions, as opposed to two of the great apostles
of absolutism in Europe.
With respect to the disarmament of France, We
may state that advices from Paris inform us that, as
soon as the troops have returned to France and re-
sumed their previous masters, a great number of
temporary furloughs will be made definitive for all
those men who have twelve or eighteen months to
serve. The administration of the marine also is said
to have revised the necessary instructions, for prepar-
ing the definitive discharge of all sailors who already
having served six years, have been called to join the
fleet within the last six months.
The Nord denies that any of the French troops are
to occupy the Duchies. Those who are at Rome will
remain for the present where they are. Nowhere

A sort of manifesto has been issued by the l'ied-
montese Government in the shape of a circular to the
governors of the provinces. Reforms are promised,
and the governors are called upon for their support in
the " tranquilization of discouraged minds, in strength-
eneing the belief in the right to liberty, and in pre-
paring the annexed provinces for liberal institutions."
The abdication of . the Grand Duke of Tuscany in
favour of his son is officially confirmed; but, as we,
have said before, the Tuscans have refused his ser-
vices to rule over them. What will be the end of
this controversy we know not.
We have intelligence from Rome, via France, to
the effect that M. de Meneval, aide-de-camp of the
Fmnich Emperor, had arrived there a bearer of a firm
letter from his Imperial master to OW Goad, "fit'
