creased 9236,O0
Political Afairs.-The Emperor Napoleon
has decided that the French army and navy
shall be restored to the peace footing with the
least possible delay. His declaration of this
intention was generally regarded as sincere
and pacific.
The Zurich Conference had not yet met.
The English Ministry have announced that
they would not accept the invitation to partici
pate in European Congress till the result of
the Zurich Conference is known.
Mr.. Horsman moved resolution that the
expenses of completing the works of defence
be met by a fund specially provided for the
purpose, independent of parliamentary votes.
He urged continued ornaments, and suggested
loan to complete the defences.
Mr.. Sidney Herbert and Lord Palmerson
objected to the proposition; but both said the
Government was fully alive to the importance
of completing the defences of the country, and
promised vigorous action in the matter
Mr. Golden deprecated this universal alarm,
as an actual incentive to war, and ridiculed the
idea of invasion by France He hoped that
explanations would be entered inte -betwee,
the two Governments. After such explanations
had been made and tried, he would, if neces
sary, be ready to vote two hundred millions of
pounds to provide navy superior to France,
although he showed that the English navy was
greatly superior now.
Mr.. Horsman's motion was rejected by 81
majority.
The debates in the English Parliament indi-
ously prosecute the works for the national de-
fence.
Advices from Italy were peaceful.
The Sandman Plenipotentiary to the Zurich
Conference had reached Paris.
Madame kossuth had Joined her husband in
Switzerland. He would probably remain there
some time. 1t is believed that he, as well as
Garibaldi, is included in the amnesty which
formed part of the treaty of Villafranca.
The Papal authority had been fully restored
at Ancona.
The seat of the Italian Confederation is TO
be at Rome.
The Austrian general, Baron Hess, had been
created field marshal. He is to have the SUI
preme command Of all the troops and military
establishments in Italy, on the maritime coast
No Austrian general ever before had such a
force under him.
The Emperor Of Austria has addressed an
autograph to the Archduke Governor of the
Tyrol, thanking him and the Tyrolese for their
patriotism during the war.
A telegraphic cable had been laid from Chios
to Sighajik, and from thence to SMYRNA there
will soon be telegraphic communication.
A dispatch from Belgrade says that Prince
Milosch had arrested and imprisoned six Sena
tors, against the earnest remonstrance of the
English and Austrian Consuls.
The Pope has addressed an autograph letter
to the Cardinal Bishop of Albano, requesting
him to invite all the faithful of Rome to join in
solemn thanksgiving for the cessation of war.
England.-Lords Russell and Palmerston
had made important speeches in Parliament
on the subject of European affairs. They ad-
mitted that England acted as the medium for
conveying terms from France to Austria, but
without endorsing them
Lord Russell, in making his statement rela-
tive to foreign affairs, after reviewing the
grounds of the peace as proclaimed by the EN-
perors of France and Austria, said that as Eng
land did not interfere in the war, he did not
think it proper to interfere in the peace. The
sacrifice of a province by Austria did not affect
the state of Europe sufficiently to warrant the
interference of the neutral Powers.
The most important point in the treaty, how
ever, related TO the future of Italy, and the in
vitation of the Emperor Napoleon to England
to enter into European Congress was to con-
suit on the actual state of the affairs of Italy,
quite irrespective of the terms of the treaty
England had not consented to join this Con-
gress, and could not until she saw what should
result from the Conference at Zurich.
The treaty of Villafranca did not lay down
absolutely an Italian Confederation, but only
that the Emperors would unite to promote one.
He doubted the feasibility or benefit of the
proposed confederation, and pointed out various
obstacles to the cOnsummation of the project
Again, he said, England must know how it was
proposed to carry out the treaty before joining
the Congress, especially with respect to the
restoration of the Dukes of Tuscany and Mode
ma, as England would not be a party to forcing
them on the people without their free consent.
He believed that the Emperor of Austria de-
sired that the Italians should have selfgovern-
ment. He could not now say whether there
would be Congress, but he thought it would
not become England now to say that she would
withdraw from such an assembly, if there was
a chance of promoting the liberty of Italy, and
establishing the peace of Europe.
Mr.. Ten Broeck's American horse Starke won
the Goodwood stakes at the recent race. The
Goodwood cup was won by Promised Land,
the horse Prioress standing third.
France.-The Moniteu's announcement of
the intended disarmament by reducing the
army and navy to the peace footing caused the

quently was partially lost, closing at 68f 45c.
