poaee in the accounts which hsye come
,ross the Atlantic is thoroughly English In
IL, character The dispatch Of Louis Napo-
leon, simply states that peace has been de-
clared, under the conditions, that the Aus,
TRANS eyocuate Lombnrdy, and that the
Pope is to exercise jurisdiction over the ltal-
ian States. Victor Emanuel is to remain
King Of Sardinia and Austria is to continue
In possession Of Venice. The English press
in commenting upon this unexpected news,
have construed it in manner, which will
reflect as much odium Rs possible in the
character Oft French Emperor. When
the Paris Steele was severely rebuked for
finding fault with the conduct Of the PAT al
troops for committing unwarrantable out
RACES upon the unprotected inhabitants at
Perug 10, suspicious were enterta ned, that
Napoleon was inclined u favor the Pope,
but no one for a moment supposed that he
Intended to place the power OF Italy in his
hands. There is strong party Ia favor of
Catholicism in France, which the priests can
excite to insurrection in a moment, and il
Was thought that the government was influ-
enced in its course by the desire to coneili
ate them.
The Papal power has proved to be far
more tyrannical IN Italy, than Austrian des.
potism in many insnn ces and the supposi-
tion that Napoleon intended to establish the
former on firm b sin could hardly be re-
concilcd with his attempts to crush the lat
ter Ii was not imagined that he would
risk his own life, sacrifice thousands OF sol
diers and sink millions Of money on substi
tuting one foreign despotism for another over
Italy Ills worst enemies, with all their
pronencss, to suspect his sincerity never
went any farther than to intimate that be
desired to place Prince Napoleon on the
throne. His unexpected peace and favorit
ism Of Pope, puts new place upon affairs
and has startled all Europe and America
with its strangeness. Ii affords his enemies
a fine opportunity for venting their malice
upon him.
And indeed if it is his determination tC
give the Pope unlimited domination over the
Italian people, and to approve of such atroc
tiles as were lately perpetrated at Perugia
he is in the highest degree reprehensible and
deserves tho exocrations Of the friends of lib
erty all over the world lie should be bran
dod in the opinion of mankind as a villain
and traitor Of the darkest dye, and hi,
name handed down to posterity as the muir.

The next result obtained is the firm es

the Pup", whlcu Is TO be exercised over tn

that extended over the kingdoms of Europ
in the time OF Henry VIII. IL will be th
shadow without the substance of power :
he Emperor was no doubt inclined TO thi
step in order to conciliate the Catholic ele

cause TO be afraid
When the campaign began it was declares
by the former English ministry, that it wa
Napoleon intention TO make an inroad upo
Austria, to besiege Vienna, and make
Complete conquest of the Empire Then
was prophesied that he would turn his vic
