Effects of the Treaty of Peace.

The Italian war, although concluded be-
fore Louis Napoleon had fulfilled his origi-
nal promises, will Re productive of great
benefits to the Italian people, and of the per.
manent injury to the rule of Austria in
that country. The despotism which she has
hitherto exercised over the northern section
of the Italian confederacy is effectually
crushed, and she has been comp mpletely driv-
en- out, holding ioOthold only in Venice
Lombardy has been wrenched from her,
and placed under free Italian government.
This State is one of the finest portions OF
Italy. Lying at the foot of the Alps, and
waterod by the tributaries of the Po, il en-
joys salubrious climate, possesses rich
soil, and with the blessings Of liberty and
free institutions, its inhabitants would have
all the advantages that can be combined in
any country in the world. BY the recent
treaty it is placed under Sardinian rule,
which frees it from all the restraint of Aus
trian despotism. The Sardinians enjoy q
comparatively free government and liberty
OF conscience, and are exempted from the
exactions and expressions with which Aus
tria is accustomed to load subjects. The
peace, though disastrous to Austria, causing
her to give up large portion of her posses-
siOns in Italy, does not, however, give en-
tiro satisfaction to the Italians They
placed implicit faith in the promises of the
French Emperor that he would e.pcl the
Ausnians entirely, and not permit them to
retain q foothOld within the borders of their
territory. In accordance with this belief
they made wonderful sacrifices in tho con-
test, fought with heroic ardor and were ami.
mated by the hopes that their liberty was to
be made secure beyond all peradventure.-
Instead Of this, the treaty was entered into
between France and Austria, without con,
sulting the Sandman government, and the
Austsians are left strongly posted in Ven.
ice, from which point they can again over
run the country as soon as the French in
ausnce is Withdrawn. The consequence of
saeh procedure upon the part Of Napoleon
Is that Count Carvnn, the leading spirit of
Sardinia and head of the ministry bias re-
signed his position, and the Sardinians are
sxasperated in the highest degree In his
farewell address TO his army, Napoleon at,
tempts to justify his course in making 40
sudden peace by declaring that " peace
was concluded because the contest was about
to assume proportions no longer in keeping
with the Interests which France had ia the
war Prussia, by the advice of England
had proclaimed that IL the French crossed
the MiDcio she would take il A. proof
shat Napoleon intended to enter upon ca.
Teer OF general conquest, the same as Napo.
leon did after his Italian campaign, and
that che would feel herself called upon TO
render aid to Austria in the contest. Eng.
land would, Of course, give the enCsaiss of
France all the assistance in her power, and
Europe woald thus become involved in
universal war.
IL we are to place any confidence in the
professions Of Napoleon Il was 10 present
such fatality that he concluded peace ct
the time he did. But he evidently has come
0lteriOs object In view which has not vet
been revealed. The most friendly feelings
already exist between the Emperors of
France and Austria, and ID is rumored that
Napoleon aud Eugenis are soon to visit Vis
