THE PEACE STILL IN A MIST
News from Garibaldi.
MANY THINGS FROM ITALY.

FARTHER
Nova Scotian, from Liverpool A. NJ OF the
9th of July, has passed this point en- route to
Quebec.
The steamship Fulton was to leave South
ampton for New York, the same day, The
Arabia, from Boston, arrived out the 23d ult.
The frigate Gen. Admiral, from New York,
arrived at Cronstadt on the 10Th of July. The

Concerning the Peace.
Nothing of moment had transpired in regard
TO the conference at Zurich, nor is it known
whether Sardinia would take part in it. A
dispatch from Berne on the 25th however,
says that representatives of the three powers
were expected to meet at the end of July.
The London Daily News believes that al
though the scheme of an Italian confederation
may not have been formally struck out of the
programme, it is not now insisted on by its ar-
thors, and that little more will be heard of it.
Count Persigny had arrived at Paris from
London 1t is said that he took with him as
surance that England would give adhesion to
the Congress on condition of general dis
armment.
The Paris correspondent of the Times is
informed that the English government offered
to send a representative to the Congress,
provided France disarmed, and that the
French Emperor agreed to do SO on CON
ditions that England did the same,-also
that England consented on condition of a
general disarmament by land and sea- that
France will begin the movement, and that the
English government is very well satisfied with
the conduct of the French Emperor.
The Independence Beige gives a report that
the proposition for disarmament proceeded in
the first instance from Napoleon.
1t is asserted that a military convention be-
tween France and Austria relative to Italy
has been concluded and that Lombardy is to
pay fair share of the national debt.
France on the English Nightmare
The Paris Moniteur OF the 26th contains the
following :-"It is endeavored in England to
attribute to France the causes of English ma
tiolal burdens, but the English people are de-
ceiyed. The exaggeration Of our ornaments
are to justify the considerable increase of the
budget for the army and navy. A compari-
son Of the budgets of England and France
shows that since 1915 the army expenses of
England have increased by 300, 100000 francs,
making for 1860 total of more than 650,0O0,-
900 francs, while the French army budget for
1860 does not exceed 5000, 600 francs He
therefore asks whether it is to France and her
extraordinary armaments that the heavy bur-
dens that weigh down the English people are
to be attributed or whether their enormous
expenses and taxes are the consequences of
these burdens must not be attributed to other
revenues"
The Paris correspondent of the Herald says
there is something like 200, 100000 francs I'M
expended in the French treasury, and that the
surplus will be applied to the navy.
The Paris Patre, referring to the above ar
ticle FROM the MOniteur, says that France
has done everything to free England from the
nightmare Of invasion in order to restore her
to calmness and repose; if unsuccessful, Eng
land can blame only herself for the fears which
agitate her, and which if prolonged will be an
atfront to the sincerely friendly feelings and
actions Of France.
The London Posts Paris correspondent says
there is the same disposition as ever in official
quarters to assure England that the Emperor
and his advisers consider the Anglo-French
alliances now as ever necessary for the tran
guilty and prosperity of Europe.
Walewski's Italian Confederation
The Paris correspondent of the Times says
it was reported that Walewski had drawn out
plan for the confederation of Italy, and had
submitted it confdentially to the cabinet 1t
consists of seven States, and the presidency is
given nomipally to the pope, but really to the
kings OF Sardinia and Naples alternately. The
strong places are to be garrsoned by federal
troops andincludes Gaeta, Mantua and Pacenza.
The votes in the federal diet are to be distrib-
uted as follows Parma and Modena, one each
the pope, two; Tuscany, two; Sardinia and
Naples, each three
Great Britain.
PROCEEDINGS IN PARLIAMENT.-In the
Lords, on the 25th July, Lord Lyndhurst, after
defending himself from the charges made
against him by Mr.. Bright on account of the
warning voice, had asked if the Admiralty were
aware that the French were arming their fleet
with rifed cannon
I h. l. a.,
rihed cannon are being prepared for the French
fleet, and that although England had an i'm.
proved cannon in the course of manufacture,
it would not be ready for some time to come.
In the Commons Mr.. Addesly advocated
improved detences tor the Colonies, by means
of increased local forces. Sydney Herbert
said that government had ordered an inquiry
on the subject.
Sir de Lacey Evans moved resolution that
in view of the relations between the great mil
itary powers Of the continent, a Commission
be appointed to inquire into the national de-
fences of England, and report what improve
ments may be made therein.
Sydney Herbert said the government would
assent to the substance of the resolution but
not to the motion itself The government was
ABOUT to appoint a committee, the names OF
which would be a guaranty for the earnest
ness of their endeavors to place the great ar
senas of the country in state to resist all at
lacks.
Lord Palmerston said it would be too extern
sive an inquiry for the commission to consider
what force was necessary for the defense of the
country they would only require what per-
manent Notifications were requisite for the de-
fence of the dockyards and arsenals.
Mr.. Evans resolution was negatlyed. FRO
ceedngs in both Houses on the 18th were un-
important
