ITEMS OF FOREIGN NEWS.

The Europa reached Boston about o'clock
yesterday morning. The English papers add
little or nothing to the news already published
In all quarters there were speculations on the
probable reasons for the peace. A few ex-
tracts will show some of the guesses and fan
cies -
APREJUDICED JOHN BULLS REAsoN.-The
London Times insists that the following is the
read state of the case :--"History tells US what
passed at Tilsit, and some French memoir will
doubtless at future day relate what was the
conversation at Villafranca. 1t is not necessary
however, to wait for the authentic report the
results suggest what the conversation must
have been. Surely we can imagine Francis
Joseph to have said, my Imperial brother can
not intend to revolutionize Hungary, and to
establish focus of instruction III Italy 2
Not the least in the world. l care no more
for these Italians than you do. This matter
has gone quite far enough for my purpose
You see now that France is necessary to Aus
tria We will settle this affair, and will leave
you stronger in Italy than you ever were. l
will also make everything straight between
you and Russia You shall be one of us and
we three together will impose law on Europe
Is it to be wondered at that Francis Joseph
was not proof against such temptations 2"
A FRENCH IMPERIAL REAsoN-A French
man writes from Paris to a Belgian paper as
follows 1.-The Emperor of the French, I'M
derstand, was profoundly affected at the sight
of the destruction of human life at the battles
of Magenta and Soferino. There is in his
mind fund of serious philosophical ideas
which inspire his first labors, which are often
expressed in his acts and words, and which
must render him sensible to the evils of war
The fatal effects of the heat which kills the
wounded and causes even the most healthy to
suffer must also have been for him q painful
spectacle. The idea Of putting an end to a
war which had had such terrible consequences,
and which besides had been carried to point
at which important results were secured, must
also have influenced him. On the other hahd,
the Emperor Napoleon knew that, from the po-
sition OF the Austrian army, a proposition for
suspension OF hostilities, made by him i'll a
dignihed manner, could not fail to be received
with satisfaction.
The Emperor Francis Joseph had left the
field of battle of Solterino in state of painful
emotion. He was not able to restrain his tears
on seeing the army defeated in which he had
rissSsa -..nh hone D~araame with IA
ugue and sorrow, he for several days was al
. tiicted with violent fever His army, which
from the strong position it occupied had been
promised victory, was not only astoniShed at
its defeat, but demoralized. He dreaded the
Encouragement which the result of the battle
would cause in Germany and even in his own
States. He knew that his finances were ex-
hausted, that Austria was unable to replace the
army so laboriously formed, the good disci-
pine and the valiant resistance of which could
not Withstand the lmpetuosity of the French
troops He suffered also from other disap-
nOlnfmPntS-1IIIns 1Vh I, III
called for, and on whom he could have count
ed before his fatal declaration of war refused
MN their cooperation. The Emperor Napo-
leon knew these things and perhaps the idea
OF not aggravating the misfortunes of his
young enemy, and Of not weakening him be-
yond what was useful to the interests of France,
may have afforded him pleasure He knew,
besides, that the Emperor Francis joseph,
abandoned by the allies he had hoped for saw
them with great grief ready to unite with his
conqueror to impose on him painful peace"
PARIS GossIP.-Ihe gossipper of the Lv
erpool journal, resident in Paris, has a sharp
column i'll that paper of the 10th, eondemning
Louis Napoleon, whom he styles an ''old crou-
pler," who is now inwardly chuckling over the
clever dodge with which he quietly baffled
Francis Joseph, hesitating young man of
good family, whom he induced not to risk an
other throw, although the chances were that
he would win the game. Mr.. Gossip says that
the peace is gigantic Do Prussia and Eng
land look sheepish at the news-ay, more
than sheepish-tor not only do they stand
shlverlng and fieeced, but they have been ac
tually turned to mutton, and are roasted
brown" He adds that ever since Louis Ma
poleon's idea of liberating Italy got wind, the
polluclans OF the continent had tormented their
Dralis 10 discover his meaning. King Leopold IF
Belgium penetrated the secret at once and he de-
cleared that the meaning of "the liberation of
1taly was, that through Milan lay the high
road to the left bank of the Rhine, to the coast
OF Prussia, and to Dover Castle. In April.
Leopold warned Prussia and England and the
Gerlnanla Confederation, that the end Of the
war IN Italy would be an alliance with Aus
tria! Inc free-and-easy correspondent speaks
with patronlzing sympathy of Francis Josephs
inability to cope with the experienced French
adyenturer. The Austrian Emperor is spoken
of as young and from the pure and quiet life
he had led from his childhood upward from
his early marriage, and the great care which
has been taken by his mother to keep his mind
as free from moral faint as possible, he looks
much younger than he really is. He was no
match for the trained Louis Napoleon. The
young man is now humbled and abased.
for having listened to the propositions
for an audience, and now remembers with
sorrow, the dying words of Metternch !:
In short time France will humbly
sue for peace Let no temptation induce
you to enter into treaty with her. You will
be but the cats paw to the long cherished
scheme to fiatter the vainest people on the
earth-revenge of WaterlooP But peace has
been made, and the old croupier grins again,
with the same grim smile as before, for he sees
that his game is won, and he is out of fright
tul scrape, and now his anxiety is to put as
great distance between himself and Garbal-
di and Mazzini as possible, and as quick as
possible. The moral result of the negota-
ton may be stated with some certainty. In the
opinion Of some Austrians, Prussia no longer
exists, and Belgium will be annexed TO France .as
Lombardy has been annexed to Sardinia. No
blame can be attached to the Emperor of Aus
trla. lie knocked at Prussia's door for helm
and was answered that it would not be granted .
and when he turned to England, he was told
that Austria must take care of herself The
only hope left for both England and Prussia
resides IN the revolution which the desertion
OF the Italian cause will hasten both in Italy
and Paris -
There IS an intimation that one condition of
the treaty Of peace is the removal of the re-
mains of Napoleon ii. from Austria to Paris.
An English paper says -
ALREADY we learn that the Austrian Emper.
or Is about to burst the cerements of the vaults
IN the Capucner Kirche at Vienna, and bring
forth from Its tomb the corpse of the Due dc
telcistadt, that King of Rome who by the
grace OF Napoleon Ill, has received postum.
