COMMENTS OF THE PRESS ON THE PEACE ARRANGEMENT
Gdti9ndnis Messenger says: As soon as the i'm
portant intelligence of the conclusion of peace be-
came known yesterday, considerable crowds collect
ed, as if by magic, in every part of Paris in spite
of the extreme heat of the weather, and congratu-
lated each other on the being over. Flags soon
appeared at the windows, and at night the public
othces, theatres, and great thoroughfares, were
brilliantly illuminated. An immense crowd filled
the streets to late hour admirng the brilliant ap
pearance OF the houses, at the rejoicing
on the occasion of the battle Of Solferino Many Of
the secondary streets were more gay and better lit
up than the grand thOroughfares. In some places
lines OF variegated lanterns suspended across
the street, and on the BOulevards very striking
effect was produced on several points by groups of
colGred lights being clustered antastically the
higher branches of the trees
The following remarks are from the Constitu-
tionnel:
This great result of of the most glorious
campaigns recorded in military history will fill
posterity with astonishment and admiration. For
such events time only is wanting to cause them to
appear as great those which have cast the great
est eclat on humanity. And what is new in his
tory, perhaps, the conquerOr has not abused his
victory. After four battles won the Emperor tri-
umphant on the Mncio, has nobly offered peace to
the vanquished enemy who could not have solicited
1t from him. In the plenitude of his fOrce-at the
moment at which Sardinian army was investing
Peschiera-at which the French army was about to
besege Verona-at which Prince Napoleon had
brought mp reinforcement of forty thousand fresh
troops-at which the fleet, consisting of forty
vessels, about to lombard Venice-at that mo-
ment the Emperor Napoleon stops short, and
master of himself and of the situation, do
inmates and moderates events. He astonished
Europe by peace which is so much the
O0FlOu9 thn
OF the war, he repudiates all ambition. After this
peace we may say without any exaggeration, that
the situation of Europe is changed for thus disap-
pears of the most active causes of disorder which
was kept alive by the revolutionary spirit. The
treaties of 1915 torn up far concern Italy.
Italy is reconstructed in her independence; her diff
terent States united in a confederation which is
In accordance with her national traditions, and
which is the necessary condition of her political ex
istence. Piedmont, which so bravely fought on the
fields of battle by the side oe France, receives Lom
hardy. The Pope, President of the Confederation,
will obtain by that great political position an in
crease of moral power, which will enable him to
effect necessary reform in his State. The Holy See
will find in this state of things the surest guarantee
ofits independence, and will thereby be freed from
any foreign influence or interference. The Duchies
also will find in regular governments the guarantee
of their enfranchisement from all foreign influence
In word, Italy will cease to be geographical
expression and will become the representative of
right, civilization, and nationality.
The Debdts makes use of the following language
This news has been received by the public with
as much joy as surprise. Everybody felt that an
armistice of five weeks must end in peace; but that
peace should be concluded between the two soyer-
eigns alone, and on the first day of the armistice,
is an event which greatly exceeds our hopes, and
entirely confounds the provisions of European d-
plomacy As to the conditions of the peace we
cannot yet appreciate them, or foresee the recep-
ton they will obtain in Italy. In seeing hostilities
suspended before the fall of Verona and Venice we
might foresee Ventia would have been condition.
ally left to Austria, but the plan of Italian Con-
federation under the honorary presidency of the
Pope had been lost sight of. The general amnesty
was indispensable to reassure the inhabitants of
tain parts of Italy whom their ardent zeal for indie
pendence had compromised in the eyes of their
ereign. This unforeseen solution of the important
and numerous questions which it seemed necessary
to solve in order to arrive at the re-establishment
of peace will produce all the greater sensation in
Europe from the fact that the neutral Pow
ers were laboriousy preparing for regulation of
Italian affairs to be madein common. This peace will
certainly count amongst the most memorable and
most unexpected events of our history.
The Univers is brief in its observations and as
might be expected, looks only to the part assigned
in the new arrangements to the Pope as head of
the Church. 1t says:
We need scarcely say with what sentiments of
happiness and admiration this glorious news has
! been everywhere received. The joy felt at the
peace is doubled by the manner in which the EN-
peror has concluded it, quite independently of
