LATEST NEWS.

The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Reuter's office :

PARIS, JULY 15.
The Moniteur of to-day contains the follow-

Lng

DESENZANGO, July 14.—The Augsburger Allge-
meine Zeitung alleges that the cause of the armistice
is the existence of a dangerous malady in the French
army ; but to this we can give a formal denial.
The sanitary condition of the French army is ex-
cellent, and exceeds even. the hopes which could
have been entertained from the fatigue and heat
which it had to endure.

TURIN, JULY 14.

The Piedmontese Gazette announces that the
Ministers of the King have teudered their resigna-

tions, holding their portefeuilles only till the for.
mation of the new Cabinet.

Yesterday evening the following proclamation
was posted up at Milan :

"THE KING TO THE PEOPLE OF LOMBARDY.
" Heaven has blessed our arms.

" With the powerful aid of our magnanimous
and valiant ally the Emperor Napoleon we arrived
in a few days, after victory upon victory, at the
banks of the Mincio. To-day I come back among
you to tell you the happy news that Heaven has
granted your wishes. An armistice, followed by
the preliminaries of peace, assures t 3 the people
of Lombardy their independence. According to
your desire, so many times expressed, you will
henceforth form, with our ancient States, one single
and free family. I will take your destiny under
my direction, and hope to find in you that concur-
rence which the chief of a State needs in order to
create a new administration.

" I tell you, people of Lombardy, trust to your
King. Established on solid and imperishable bases,
he will procure happiness for the new countries
which Heaven has intrusted to his Government."

VIENNA, JULY 14.

ciously pleased to order the immediate cessation (3.1

BERLIN, JULY 14.

The Prussian Gazette says :—" The proposal
made on the 4th inst, by the Prussian Federal Am-
bassador to the Federal Diet is, under present cir-
cumstances, withdrawn by the Government. The
necessary orders have already been despatched to
Frankfort."

BERLIN, JULY 14.

BERNE, JULY 14.

The Federal Council has disbanded all troops
called in on the outbreak of war, and has also or-
dered all the Austrian steamers together with can-
non and other arms, taken from Austrian and Sar-
dinian refugees during the war, to be given up.
The Federal Council has further abandoned the
measures taken against the exportation of arms,
ammunition, and horses.

THE MOCK PEACE.

EXCITEMENT IN PARIS.

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post
(Second Edition) says :

"Despatches have reached Paris stating that
the whole of Italy is greatly agitated. The Pope
has sent for assistance, in the shape of troops, to
the Emperor Napoleon and Francis Joseph.
" The proclamation was received, I have no
hesitation in saying, with displeasure, and in
some instances it was torn down. The conditions
on which the war has been closed have pro-
duced a painful dissatisfaction in all classes
who feel for the national honour of France,
and who are real friends of the Emperor Napoleon.
I believe the day will come when it shall be proved
that the Emperor has been deceived as to the state
of feeling in Europe. lam sure his Majesty was
influenced to make peace by reports about revolu-
tions and the invasion of France by Germany, all
got up by Jesuits and their tools to frighten him into
shaking hands with Francis Joseph. Never was
intrigue more active—intrigue at St. Cloud, at St.
James's, at Vienna, at Berlin. The whole machi-
nery of Court influence was set to work to prevent
the allies from taking the fortresses which are the
key to Austrian influence in Italy, and the support
consequently of the rotten Governments of the Pope
and Sovereigns of Italy. By some fatal and mys-
terious influence Napoleon 111, has fallen into the
trap of his greatest enemies, although they may wear
the livery of friends. Who shall dare to say what
may follow ? Italy will be in a state of revolution.
Mazzini will commission his agents again. The
future is gloomy. There is no repose for Europe.
The Emperors have not made peace—they have
simply endangered their own lives and their
thrones.

" I hear to-day Count Cavour has given in his re-
signation, and I should not be at all surprised if Vic-
tor Emmanuel were to abdicate. After fighting half
a dozen battles for the freedom of Italy from Aus-

trian tyranny, to find Sardinia placed under Francis
Joseph and the, Pope is a sad mockery ! The for-
tresses being in the hands of Austria causes the
annexation of Lombardy to Piedmont to end in a
cruel mockery. The more the world knows about
the treaty of peace the less will honest men like it.
A treaty which politically murders 30,000,000 of
people belongs rather to 1815 than 1859.

"Discontent in Paris at the Emperor's proclama-

tion and fears of revolt in Italy have caused the
funds to fall again to-day, as well as all other secu-
rities. The Threes are now at 68f, 30c, being a fall
of lf. on yesterday's prices.
~ The King of Sardinia has arrived in Milan.
His Majesty will, it is expected, renounce his title
to Lombardy, and in all probability abdicate."

The Paris correspondent of the Times (Second

Edition), says :
" The Emperor's Proclamation to the Army of
Italy, which appears in to-day's Moniteur, has not
much diminished the dissatisfaction of those who
counted upon a complete fulfilment of the Im-
perial programme—the emancipation of Italy
' from the Alps to the Adriatic.' It was hardly
worth while, they say, to sacrifice so many thousands
of lives and spend so many millions, for which a
far better application might be found, to expose
even the Crown of Franc..., merely to give Lombardy
to Victor Emmanuel. ' Italy shall be free to the
Adriatic !': Each one asks his neighbour what the
Emperor really did mean by this magnificent
phrase ? In a word, the discontented can see no-
thing fixed, nothing defined—and the only point
they seem to agree upon is that, whatever quality
the Emperor Napoleon possesses, he has not on this
occasion given proof of common sense.
