PROPOSALS FOR PEAcE.--The London Times
Paris correspondent says, it IL stated that
two of the most influential neutral Powers
have agreed in proposing ali arrangement
after the first great battle, and. IT necesSa-
~, insisting upon the adoption OF 1t by the
three belligerents, on the following primer
pies:
Ist. That the territory gained by the Sicto-
rious party shall be accepted by all the Euro
pean Powers ~ the basis OF a Congress.
I'd. The entry of the French into Milan.
supported by II popular manifestation shall
be considered by the European Powers rs II

ally of Austrian policy.
sd. The neutral Powers will insist on al
armistice while Congress is assembled.
18th. The extension of the kingdom OF Snr-
DINA will be deemed essential and the Ouch
les of Parma and Modena, with the fortress
of Piacenza, are to he added to 1t.
9Th. 1t will be proposed to form the LON
bardu-V venetian Kingdom into II State distinct
from the Austrian Empire, but governed by
an Austrian Archduke.
[ 1t is evident that these propositions ure
wholly coniectural, not only because OF the
premature date ut which they are announced
but also because they essentially ignore the
conditions which, in the present posture ot
affairs, could be expected to induce the Al
lies to listen to overtures for peace.
RUSSIAN CIRCULAR On THE Wharf.-The cir
cular which Prince Gortschakof, foreign
minister of Russia, has addressed u the d.
plomatic representatives OF the Emperor at
the several courts of Germany. strongly re-
commends policy of non-lnteryentlon as to
this Italian war; and in very explicit terms
denies the right of the Germanlc contedera-
ton to interfere with the war which Austria
has commenced respecting one Of her non
Germanse possessions. lie appeals to the
treaties by which the confederation is con-
STUFFED, and declares that if Germany goes
= Il, h..
cal equilibrium resulting from these treaties
will be destroyed. The circular is described
as of considerable length, firm in its tone,
and remarkably clear. rs Russian circular,
are wont t. he.
ArsTRlA-It is hardly necessary to notice
the falsity Of the dispatches from vienna,
reproduced in the London papers. For III
stance, the Times publishes despatch
which states that the battle Of Magenta was
drawn battle, that the Austrians had re-tt-
tackled the French lines to impede or prevent
the march on Milan, and that the Austrian
army still had its headquarters at Affiliate
Observation-Disclosures upon which that jour
nal embroidered leader. Now it so hap
pens that the day this despatch and edito-
rial were written, the Emperor and King
entered Milan, that the Austrians were in
full retreat upon Lodi and that even as far
away as PAWN, the retreat had commenced
for we have Just learned from that place
that, after spiking the cam ms and throwing
the ammunition into the Tlcino, they had
precipitately evacuated in the direction OF
the AIDA.
At Vienna the truth is not yet known in
regard to Magenta. There, it is declared a
drawn battle, and Milan, although it is adj
mitted to have been disturbed. Is now claim
ed ~ tranquil This was the state OF al
fairs in Vienna us late IA yesterday, five
days after the battle, and with lines Of tele-
graph leading from the seat Of war directly
to the capital.
The Emperor Francis Joseph is at Verona,
organizing the reinforcements that are daily
arriving, and no doubt will he able to OPP
pose to the allies by the time they arrive in
front of the Minsio, formidable army, If
not formidable resistance. But they must
yield, for their cause is not just.
Gen. Hess, the favorite general of the Aus
trian army, was with General Gyulal dur
ing the battle of Magenta, and aided with
his counsels. His commencement was an
unfortunate one Gen. Grunne is with the
Emperor at Verona We will be curious to
see the Austrian official bulletins of the bal
tie of Magenta 1t is pitiable to see a great
nation, whose courage on the field OF battle
no one ever called in question, deem 1t ne
cessary in rendering an account OF Its de-
feat to resort to falsehood and snbtertuge.
BY frankness and magnanimity certain
glory may be thrown around n reverse.
GARABALDI The mission of Garihul1i on
the North seems more one of diplomacy than
of fighting, although he has doue more OF the
latter than either of the other divisions OF the
army. lie was sent to revolutlonze the peo-
of the Northern districts, and to induce them
to take up arms in favor of the King of Sar-
DINA. This Garibaldi has effected thorough
ly; the whole Valteline district was in arms
before the battle Of Magenta was fought: now
the whole country North and West of Milan
to the AIDA, has declared for Victor Emanuel
and at last accounts Garibaldi was pursuing
the enemy beyond Monzu. 1t is thought
that this brave general will be kept in the
North, and that he will be sent forward with
an increased force toward Bergamo and Bres-
cia, with the view of cutting oft the impor-
tant connection which the Austrans still hold
with the Tyrol.
