The late Foreign News shows that although
The Peace" may be acceptable to the French
Emperor, and the King Of Sardinia, it does
not meet with much favor either tro9A the
people or rulers Of any other countries in
Europe. disappointment and dissatisfaction,
according to the accounts we publish to-day,
prevail in Italy-Austria is morti6ed--fen-
ice is incensed-Great Britain is uneasy
Prussia ON the alert-snd everywhere. i'll
suppressed murmurs Of complaint can be dis
tineuished even from those who are afraid to
speak out openly. lest they should incur the
displeasure of the victorious Emperor. Can
such q state of things last long!
