The News ~ the Canada-Reported SeS-
Element sf the Italian Question.
| The news by the Canada which is three days
later than advices previously received, con-
tains some interesting points in relation to the
Italian question, which seem to be confirmed
by information from several sources.
1t is asserted that treaty Of peace between
France and Austria is about to be signed at
Zurich which will cHrry out the general princi-
pies of the arrangement at ViIlafranca. The
four fortresses of the historical square are to
be divided between Austria and Sardinia, the
FORMER retaining Verona and Legnago, and
ceding to the latter those of Peschiera and Man
tua, with the duchies Of Parma and Modena.
In compensation for these the house of Lor-
raine is to be returned to Tuscany, and the Lee
cations are to be restored to the Pope. Vene-
tia is to have an army and government of its
own, under the Archduke Ferdinand Macmillan
of Austria. This plan is said To- have been
brought about by the King of Belgium, who
seems to be travelling about like courier. He
was on the point Of departure from Narritz to
60 to Genoa, where he was to meet
several important pereonages. The new
treaty. it was said, was not to, be signed by
Sardinia, and some arrangement for peace be-
fxyao horo nd Sc
of Leopold's visit to Genoa. Perhaps some
compromise with Garibaldi undsti,c Other rrvo-
lutionists Of Central Italy may also call him
there.
This reported arrangement between the re-
cent belligerents looks probable; for it involves
some of the highest points of the late conflict.
An Italian power of respectable dimensions is
created by the union Of Lombasdg and two of
the duchies to Piedmont, with o frontier forti-
| fed by two strong fortrssses, and. il left for a
little time to consolidate, twill hereafter hold
a very important position. in Escope, through
its relations with the rest of Italy. The deposit
ton of the dynasties of the two dnohies ratifes
the principle Of popular ohoioe in. the election
of sovereigns and the restoration of Romagna
to the Pope delays only for a while the settle
ment of the thorny question Of the temporal
power of tho Holy See. That Austria is salts
fed with this plan, as she is alleged TO be, we
can readily believe. She we'll knows that if
he carries her old pretensions before Euro
pean Congress they will be. rejected as danger
GUS to every crown, because distastelll to every
people on the Continent If Austria is satisfied,
Louis Napoleon may we'll be, because the ar
rangement establishes the principles Tor which
he fought, and leaves him time to cement his
new alliance.
The NEW CoNGREss-THE SCRAMBLE FOR TIE
PRINTING SPoIIs-The printing spois of the
House of Representatives, for the two sessions
of the new Congress which meets in December,
| will exceed million Of dollars. He who gets
this job will get plum. Mr. Wendell, for the
right and title to the work of the last Congress,
paid to Steedman and Banks, it is understood,
the sum of S60,OO9 and paid some other sabsi-
dies to democratic editorial lobby jobbers,
which probably swelled his lobby expenses to
| 100000. 1t is said that he complains of being
ieeced and Of losing money by the speculation;
/ /,
and that he really made a good thing of it.
From this information the reader may safely
conjecture that there will be numerous candi-
dates and hot fight for the House printing;
and, from the following newspaper extract, we
infer that the scramble has already commenced
