about the armstice; other authorities give the
credit to Prussia

concluded after repeated requests from the French,
and after Austria had obtained all she asked for.
1t is reported that Kossuth has proposed mon

The following is the telegram from the Empe-
ror Napoleon to the Empress announcing peace
"VALLEGIo, 1lth-A treaty of peace has been
signed between the Emperor of Austria and myself
on the following basis: An Italian confederacy,
to be under the honorary presidency ofthe Pope.
The Emperor of Austria comedies his rights in
LOmbardy to the Emperor of the French, who
transfers them to the King of Sardinia. The En-
peror of Austria preserves Venice, but she will
form an integral part of the Italian confederation.
The London Times says that France spent fifty
millions sterling fifty thousand men only to give
Milan Piedmontese instead of an Austrian mas
ter, and established the Pope in temporal dignity
even beyond his imagination. Napoleon's game
must be very long one
The London News says that the hopes of Italy
utterly deceived by this peace, and that histo-
ry will call Napoleon to strict account for having
made war under false pretences, that leaves Aus
tria impregnably fortified in the heart of Northern
Italy, and commits the central portion to the pat
rOnage of the Pope.
The London Morning Post says that the Pope
is deprived of the substance, but keeps the shadow
of supremacy.
Napoleon was expected to reach Paris on the
18th, when further details will be afforded. In
his address to his soldiers he says that peace was
concluded because the contest was about to assume

because his natural allies did not as was expected

The Treaty Of ~ ace Comments Of tie Press, &c.
The London Post contends that the soul of the
treaty agreed upon between the allies and Austria
is the nationality guaranteed under every variety
of the government in confederation of the Italian
States. The Emperor of Austria is to be King of
Feneta solely internal member of the
federation; he will rule less than three million
Italians, and will be controlled by confederation
ruling not less than twenty-six millions. The
Pope is shorn virtually of his temporary suprema-
Cyl he is deprived Of the substance, but keeps the
shadow.
The Times says that Venice must hope that her
independence will not be name; and that
the influence of France and Austria united will not
be more unbearable than that of Austria singly.
The Romans must hope that the Italian confedera-
ton under the honorary presidency of the Pope
will be nothing like any government they have hth-
crto known. The Papal States left they
were, but with master somewhat greater than be-
fore; he is honorary president of the italian
federation, and General Goyon holds the sword by
his side.
The King of Naples is made member of the
confederation, and has to learn the worth of that
honor and Its import. Europe has to welcome
new power-the German confederation older in
dignity if not in time. England has nothing to
do but to look on. Austria is somewhat humbed,
but relieved of a difficulty. Sardinia is aggran-
dised, with province that mistruss her and
neighbor that has earned an imperishabe and in
exhaustible claim to her gratitude. The Grand

The New York Sun does not think the terms
of the treaty will satisfy the Italians 1t says:
1t does not give them the liberty they hoped
for, and consequently will not extinguiSh the revo-
lutionary clement Mazzini will now boast that

champion of Italian liberty and troubles will

if FTenchmen will consider all the advantages
gained worth the blood and treasure which they
cost.
ADDITIONAL NEWS.
We have additional details of the foreign
news from which it appears that much discomfort
exists in Paris, because the Austrian rule has
not been entirely excluded from Italy. The treaty
of peace gives Austria control over Eeneta as far
as the Mncio.

about to visit Vienna, and also that Justification
