The Paris Moniteur OF the 9th publishes
long article explaining the reasons which
caused the Emperor to conclude peace. The
following is a summary:
The Emperor of Austria had promised to
grant concessions on large scale To Nenetia,
but requiring condition, sine qua noa, the
return of the Archdukes. The Emperor Ma
poleon accepted these conditions. 1t is easy TO
conceive that If, after the conclusion of peace,
the destinies OF Italy had been lntrusted 10
men who had more ct heart the future of their
latherland than little partial successes, the
aim of their endeaNofs would nave breh 10 tie
yeiop, and not obstucf, tie conseq nences OF
The treaty OF Nillatranea, and Neneta would
have been placed Iii the same position rs Lux
embourg with Heliand. Inc Archduhe VIII

portion OF the treaty OF Nilialrahca not nav
