THE PEACE.
English speculations and Opinions.


The New York Herald thus briefly sums
up The opinions of the leading foreign jour
nails on the Peace:
The London Posi-, the organ OF the pres
ent government, avows indeed that LOUIS
Napoleon has fulfilled his mission in Italy,
aid insinua,es that i! the presence OF Aus
trian troops there was the cause OF The OPP
preston under which she suffered, that It.
aIy ui.ly wants now, for the completion Of
her freedom. that all foreign armies shout
be Withdrawn. This, and the abolition OF
eccesias,ical power in the government Of
the Papal States, Lord PaImerston's organ
thinks, are the great objects TO be obtained
bv the peace. How far either Of them has
been accomplished we shall not learn until
Louis Napoleon returns 10 Paris, and pro-
mulgates the exact terms Of the negotiation
entered into between himself and Francis
Jostph.
Lord Derby's organ, the London Herald,
looks upon the Peacs as a miracle, wrought
Tor the express purpose of saving The new
government OF Lord Pulmerston for de-
strnsion. II sneers at the Peace and IFS
prediciioned results, alleging that the Italy
which we are told is Nation for the tirsl
time, is not the Italy Of which mention was
made few weeks ago, which was 10 ex-
tend from the Alps 10 the Adrialic, but an
Italy bounded by the Mincio, not the Italy
Cavonr dreamed of, and not the Italy Lord
Malmsbury would have created, had Louis
Napoleon accepted the terms proposed for
a peace Congress. The Papal Government
is pronounced to be stronger than ever
In short, in the opinion of the Derby organ
the peace of Villfranca is one Of the most as
tonishing and perplexing events that has
occurred for years in Europe.
The London Times is alike dogmatic and
interrcgalory, reproachful ana sarcastic
1t proclaims that the peace mas made Aus
ira stronger than ever in Italy, and declares
that Iraly is free, not in Democratic but
III Napoleonic sense, asserting that the
enforcement of the Pope, as honorary
President of the IlaIlon Confederation, the
restoration of the Grand Dukes, and the
retention of Venetis and the Mincio by
Austria, is an alterated version of the first
message Of the French Emperor to the En-
press.
On the other hand, The London .Ne.Us,
the organ of the revolutionisls in London,
is fierce in its denunciations of the peace,
and boldly proclaims that it will fill the open
and covert enemies OF freedom with bound
less exulta,ion; that ii is jubilee for Aus
TRAN Grand Dukes, Italian Cardinals.
French Priests and English Peers.
While the English press is thus denun-
ciato,y, equivocal and cloudy, the French
Journals are jubilant over the glory which
France has acquired in the campaign, and
the satisfactory peace which the sagacity Of
the Emperor has enabled him to obtain.
The PAYS says that the Emperor Napo-
leon the Ill, already so great in the eyes Of
Europe, assumes place SO great before
posterity that fun glory becomes pale before
that which he shas acquired, and proclahns
lis course in Italy the most generous and
exalted policy that could do honor TO any
age or country.
The French journals, generally, remark
on the significant fact that no mention is
made Of the Duchies of Tuscany, Parma or
Modena, in the preiminaries Of peace.
The Courier de Paris intimates that
Congress 10 decide on the future definite
Constitution OF Of Italy is not impossible
the leading idea in most of the French pa
per-. would seem 10 turn upon the security
wh*h the temporal power of the Pope has
attained by recent events, of the same time
the Constitutional rejoiced that the Holy See
will now be freed in its future independ-
ent position from foreign influence or inter-
ference.
