DRAFT OF A TREATY OP PEACE BETWEEN AUSTRIA. AND

SARDINIA.

Art. 1. There will be henceforth and for ever, peace
friendship, and good intelligence between his Majesty
the Emperor of Austria and his Majesty the King of
Sardinia, their heirs and successors, their states and re-
spective subjects.
Art. 2. All the treaties and conventions ecnclueed
between his Majesty the Emperor of 'Austria and his
Majesty the King of Sardinia which were in vigour
before the Ist of March, 1848, are fully re-established
and confirmed, in as far as they are not derogated ,from
by the present treaty.
Art. 3. The limits between the states of his Majesty
the Emperor of Austria and his Majesty the Kinz of
Sardinia shall be such as they existed before the com-
mencement of the war of 1848. As, nevertheless, there
was a dispute between Austria and Sardinia with respect
to the line of demarcation near the town of Pavia, it
is stipulated that the limit at that place shall be
formed by the towing-path of the canal called the Gra-
vellona. As regards the bridge on the above-mentioned
canal, the two contracting parties mutually engage to
apply to it, and to put in vigour, simultaneously with
the present treaty, the same stipulations as are con-
tained in the convention concluded between the two
States, the 25th of October, 1820, relative to the front of
the Buffalora.

Art. 4. The high contracting parties are anxious to
see re-established amicable relations between his Ma-
jesty the King of Sardinia on the one hand and their
Royal Highnesses the Archduke of Modena, and
the Infant of Spain, Duke of Parma and Piacenza on
the other, and their said Royal Hignesses having
named to that effect their Plenipotentiary his Excel-
lency Charles Louis Chevalier de Bruck, &c., in virtue
of the respective full powers, dated from Modena, the
3d of July, 1849, and from Brunnsce the 29th of
June, 1849, declare that there exists, and will
continue to exist, peace, friendship, and good intel-
ligence between his Majesty the King of Sardinia
and their said Royal highnesses, their respective
heirs and successors, and their states and subjects.
They confirm anew reciprocally the demarcation of the
frontier of their respective states, as it was fixed before
the present war, in virtue of the treaties in vigour, and
agree besides to nominate, without delay, a mixed com-
mission, composed of a Sardinian member and a Mo-
denese or Parmasan member, according as it may happen
that the question may regard the interests of the one or
the other of the duchies, in order to regulate and liqui-
date the claims of their said Royal Highnesses, and of
their respective subjects, resulting from the fact of the
war terminated by the present peace, and binding and
obliging themselves, in the event of the said commis-
sioners not agreeing, to submit the point or the points in
question to the arbitration of his Majesty the King of
the Netherlands.

" Art. 5. His Majesty the King of Sardinia, as well
for himself as for his successors, renounces all title, as
well as all pretension of any kind, to the countries
situated beyond the above designated limits of Sardinia.
The right of reverson of Sardinia to the duchy of Pia-
cenza is nevertheless maintained under the terms of the
treaty.

" Art. 6. His Majesty the King of Sardinia binds him
self to pay to his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, as
complete indemnity,the sum of 80,000,000 of francs. Of
that sum, 20,000,000 of francs will be paid in ready
money, and 60,000,000 of francs in inscriptions of 1,000
francs each, bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent.
on the grand livre of the public debt of Sardinia. For
the first 20,000,000 f. a mandate, payable at Vienna at
the end of August next, is to be delivered at the same
time U 3 the above-mentioned inscriptions; for the re-
mainder of the sum total of the 60,000,0001. at the mo-
ment of the exchange of the ratifications of the present
treaty. The inscriptions shall be taken up by the Sardi-
nian Government within the delay of twelve months at
the rate of 5,000,000 E per month from the date of the
month of September next, and thus from month to
month by a payment to be made at Vienna in ready
money of their nominal value. If the Sardinian Govern-
ment, fur any motive whatsoever, should fail to take up
these inscriptions, if it were only for one single monthly
peri,d, it is understood that the Government of his Itn-
perial Majesty and of their Royal Highnesses should in
that case be authorized, by that very tact, to cause to be
sold at the Paris Bourse, or at the Stock Exchange of
London, all the inscriptions which might still remain in
their hands, and that the deficit which might be the
result, comparatively to their nominal value, will be at
the charge of the Sardinian Government, and that the
amount of it nau:t be paid by that Government, within
the shortest possible delay, in ready money.
" Art. 7. The evacuation of the Piedmontese territory
by the Imperial troops will take place immediately after
the exchange of the ratifications, and the delivery of
the mandates and inscriptions stipulated by the present
treaty.

" Art. 8. In order to give more extension to the com-
mercial relations between the two countries, there will
be immediately concluded between the two powers a
treaty of commerce and navigation, founded on bases of
the strictest reciprocity, by which the two powers bind
themselves to place at the present moment, and for
the future, their respective subjects mutually on the
footing of the most favoured nation. On that occasion,
the question of mixed subjects will also be taken into
consideration, and the principles will be settled on which
their reciprocal treatment will henceforth be regulated.
The two contracting parties bind themselves, besides, to
facilitate and to favour the legitimate commerce to the
frontiers of their respective territories, and they declare
their anxiety to employ mutually all the means in their
power to suppress all contraband. In order the more
effectually to attain that end, they put again in force,
from the date of -, the convention concluded to that
effect betweea Austria and Sardinia, the 4th of De-
cember, 1834, and they bind themselves to introduce
into it successively all the amelioration that the circum-
stances may render necessary, in order to fulfil the end
which they have in view.
" Art. 9. This treaty shall be ratified, and the rati-
fications shall be exchanged at the end of fourteen
days, or sooner, if that be done.
" In faith of which, &c. &c."

The conditions of the above treaty were with few
exceptions acceded to by Sardinia, but an amnesty
was required for the Lombards and Venetians who
had taken the part of Sardinia in the late war.
The Grand Duke of TUSCANY arrived at Florence
on the 29th ult.

Cardinal PATRIZI, Bishop of Albano, and Vicar-
General of the POPE, has arrived at Rome from

Gaeta.

The Legge of Turin, of the 31st ult., states from
Rome, 26tH, that MAMIAMI has been banished from
Rome. The Genoa Gazette also states this, and adds
that many others, members of the moderate constitu-
tional party, who, although strongly opposed to
Republicanism, demand the secularization of the
Government, among whom is PANTALEONE, have
shared the same fate.

The Italian papers contain very contradictory
accounts concerning GARIBALDI. Some affirm that
he is surrounded between Monterchi and Citerna,
others that he is already at Rimini, with the inten-
tion of proceding to Venice.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND
ARRIVAL OF THE QUEEN AT KINGS-

TOWN.

SUNDAY EVENING, SEVEN O'CLOCK.

The royal squadron has just entered this harbour,
the Victoria and Albert yacht taking the lead, followed
by the Fairy and the rest of the steam-ships which form
her Majesty's naval escort. Salutes are being fired
by the Iron Duke, the Scotia, and several other
steamers, which have been all day in the harbour.
The crowds who cover the great piers and
the jettias are applauding to the utmost of
their power. In brief, we are already in
the beginning of one of the most enthusiastic recep-
tions ever given to a Monarch by her most devoted
subjects. The mail boat for Holyhead is about to
leave.

Her Majesty will not land until ten o'clock in the
morning.

KINGSTOWN, SUNDAY MORNING.—Every one is on
the look-out for the smoke of the royal squadron,
which a fine south-easterly wind will sweep merrily
down the coast before them. Prom the time which
has elapsed since the fleet left Cork, it is supposed that
her Majesty has run in and anchored for the night
near Passage, in the harbour of Waterford. If this
be so, she is probably under steam by this time, and
will, ere sunset, anchor in the Bay of Dublin.
Adequately and entirely to fulfil the duties of a
reporter of the royal expedition, that reporter
ought in the first place to be Sir Boyle Roche's bird.
Not having, however, that advantage, I was obliged,
after seeing the preparations for sailing at Cove,
to start immediately for Dublin, in order to keep
you au fait to the preparations made here. On the
way the effects of her Majesty having advanced the
time of her arrival by a day were developed in a style
which would have been ludicrous, had it not been for
_ _

the vexation and disappointment involved in the
matter. For miles and miles we passed trains of
people—on foot, in cars and carts, many of them
dusty and travel-stained with their night's journey—
but all hurrying into Cork, full of the royal proces-
sion which they expected to see. We shouted out to
one or to o of the groups the true state of matters,
but they laughed and replied with some cheerful
banter, evidently believing that we were trying to
quiz them. Poor folks—many of them would reap
little from their twenty or thirty miles trudge.
The royal squadron left Cove about ten o'clock on
Saturday morning. All the previous night bonfires
burned upon the hills, and brilliant illuminations
twinkled across the water from the windows of Cove.
The fleet sailed amid the thunder of heavy guns from
the men-of-war and the forts.

Dublin was tolerably busy and tolerably crowded
when I left it, but it is now in a perfect buil of pre-
paration and enthusiasm. There is to be an illumi-
nation after all, and in every street you see the
skeleton preparations—gas-pipes, and the frame-
works of all manner of quaint devices—sprawling
from window to window, and house to house. The
streets have been quite pulled to pieces by the at-
tacks made upon the gas mains. As for the decora-

Lions, and rubbings up, and brushings up—the

w fine you can hardy turn 3 ;n t.i timid wiiiient
finding a handsome smear of white paint upon your
coat tails. Of course, triumphal arches, pavilions,
and stages for spectators are plentiful; and, alto
gether, the entrance will be a very fine affair, indeed.
At Kingstown, her Majesty will land under a very
pretty species of arcade, formed of wreathed and em-
blazoned flags, leading from the jetty edge to the ter-
minus of the railway.
There is a mighty muster of packets in the har-
bour. I never saw a more numerous fleet, even at
Cowes. The Dragon Government frigate has her
steam up ready to put to sea the moment the royal
squadron appears.
The weather is beautiful, clear, and sunny, with a
fine fresh breeze from the southward and eastward,
which is clothing the blue sea with the white crest of
breaking waves.— Chronicle.

AMERICAN NEWS.

ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY', 11, A.m.
The North American Mail steamer Niagara has
arrived, with advices from New York to the 25th ult.
The Caledonia arrived at Boston on the 21st.

NEW YORK, TUESDAY NIGHT, JULY 24.
The week that has elapsed furnished little material
for a summary. Our money market is abundantly
supplied.

The banks are at a loss to employ their funds, for
good commercial paper is scarce just in proportion to
the general stagnation in business.
In the Stock Markets there is less activity than
in our previous dates, without any noticeable fall in
prices.

A large amount of bonds, lately received from Ger-
many, have recently been allowed by the Treasury
department in consequence of the signatures being
well known.

In foreign exchanges but little is doing.
The range of quotations for sterling bills is from
eight to eight and three quarters ; considerable sales
have been made at 8i ; the higher price is asked by
some houses, but rarely obtained.
On France, bills at 60 days, which are preferred
upon the whole by purchasers to shorter dates, for
which higher prices must be paid, may be quoted at
5.35 to 32k.

The weather generally throughout the land has
been most propitious to the wheat harvest, which is
completed in the southern and south-west states, and
now in full progress in the middle and western states.
We have accounts from San Francisco to the 10th
of May. The market at that place was overstocked
with goods, which were selling at low rates.
Provisions and clothing were abundant and cheap,
and the city was full of people.
A large number of the inhabitants were specu-
lating extravagantly in land.
New towns were being laid out in different spots
around the Bay, and building lots in wilderness sites
were selling at from 1,500 dolls. to 2,000 dolls. each.
At the mines matters remained pretty quiet, but
fears were entertained that ere long there would be
serious disturbances between the Americans and the
Mexicans, as some 6,000 of the latter had evinced a
turbulent disposition. Owing to the swollen state of
the streams, the gold dust had not been dug out so
freely this season, but no doubts were entertained
that as much would be gathered this year as last.
Telegraphic accounts from Montreal of the 24th
state that cholera was slightly on the increase in that
city. Twenty-eight cases had occurred in the
twenty-four hours previous to the above date. Colonel
Holmes died of the epidemic on the 23d. Business
was dull.

A large fire had occurred in the city, and consumed
thirty buildings befoi e it was subdued.
Intelligence from Buenos Ayres to the 6th of June
has been received. The most friendly relations con-
tinue to exist between the President Rosas and the
English and French.

The British Minister gave a soirée on the birth day
of Queen Victoria, which was attended by the
daughter of Rosas.

The highest quotation of doubloons was 298 ; the
lowest, 291 i.
Freights were as follow :—Dry hides, 10 dolls. per
2,0001 b. ; salted ditto, 6 dolls. per 2,0001 b. ; wool in
bales, 4 dolls. 331 e. per 40 feet.
