pear that they settled the basis for the prem-
inaries of peace before they parted. In mill
tary circles it is related that Louis Napoleon
showed certain documents to the Emperor of
Austria which removed any doubt he might
have felt about the necessity of sacrificing
Lombardy. "The one document" said my
| informant, was Prusso-Angl 10 Russian peace
project, which was based on the cession of
Venetia as well as Lombardy, and the other
was dispatch in which Prussia expressed her
| resolve not to draw her sword in defence of
any part of the Austrian possessions in Italy,"
No guarantee can be given for the correctness
OF the foregoing but certain it is that the per

The Emperor Francis Joseph promised to
do all in his power to persuade his Holiness to
agree to the secuarization of the domains of

The DUCHIEs.-A letter to the London

intelligence. 1t is certain that Parma and Pi-

the Duchy of Modena, it is asserted that it will
revert to Piedmont whenever the direct line of
the present ducal family shall become extinct
Now, as the present head of the house has no
male issue, the accession Of the Duchy to this
kingdom may not be a very remote event AS

ton and the British Government do not take
kindly the ercIusice character of the Diplomat
ic Congress at Zurich, where the late belliger-
ents propose to arrange their affairs without
the assistance of outsiders. The London Post
Lord Palmerston's organ, speaks on the sub
ect as follows -
''The two Emperors have assented to condi
tons which can hardly take effect without the
consent Of the great Powers of Europe. The
Emperor of Austria is said to have refused
congress, but it is not for a Yanquished man to
dictate terms. To refuse congress is to as
sumo power to deal nero motu with interests
quite European in their character and extent
The existence of this power in either Emperor
or III both together cannot be allowed. The
self-respect of the other powers forbids it. as
well as the interests of the smaller States. 1t
will be necessary, therefore, now for England
to ascertain categorically what these bases
mean. Now, if ever, the Anglo-French alli-
ance ought to prove its utility. 1t is now that
it should be found influential in guiding the
councils and swaying the decisions on which
the future of Italy must depend. The Emper-
French w q
urally wish the advice Of this country at the
present moment, for it is next to impossible
that his acute mind should not ere long see
that the difficulties Of the peace proposed are
almost more threatening to the general pros
perity of Europe than those of the war Just
ended"
