The Paris Moniteur, in publishing the official
despatch, appends the following remarks:--
1t necessary that tho public should not misunderstood
the extent Of the armstce. 1t is limited to mere relar
alton OF hosties between the beigeren armies which
though leaving the field open for negoatoDs docs NOT
enable Tor the present TO the may be
minated.
The Paris Pdirie of July said it was neces
sary to put public opinion on its guard
against every surprise. Speaking of the ap.
preaching negotiations with which the public
will be occupied during the armistice, the Pat'ie
calls to mind the programme traced by the En-
peror before his departure for the army, which
pointed out that Italy must be independent from
the Alps to the Adriatic. The campaign in Rally
has giren 10 tins project Me sanction Of a pic
tory; therefore, if the negotiations take place,
they can only have as basis the complete indie
pendence Of Italy.
The Presse Of the same date explained the note
of the Moaie,T and the official communication as
Intended to put the public on their guard against
being led away by visions of peace.
All the other papers expressed the same opinion.
The Paris Nonieur of July gives the follow.

The London Times Of the 9th inst. says:-
We have received the following despatch from
our own correspondent at Frankfort
On the repor, Of the negotiations for peace the Austrian

The effect of all this upon the public mind in
Europe is to be seen in the following opinions of
the London press.
OPINIONS OF THE ENGLISH PRESS ON THE
ARMS JOE.
From the London Times, July.
and specializing to the nature OF the catastrophe
the curtain falls Yesterday France aud Austria
were upon the point of joining in another desperate
battle. The celebrated fortified quadrangle had
been reached, Peschiera had been invested, MAMMA
had been masked Verona was upon the point OF
being summoned, Venice was threatened, and Carl
bald was man9uvring upon the rear of the great
foItresses. The waves OF warfare were uhdulating
and vibrating to another great burst III foam. To-
day the spirit of peace has breathed upon the
waters, and the storm is for the moment at an end
Three months ago we expected peace, and were
surprised by war. To-day Europe was waiting in
breathless expectation for great battle, fought in
the very fortresses Of Austria, and is again sur.
prised 10y the calm announcement that arnistice
has been concluded, and that the two great armies
are for the momentno longer enemies.
The first impulse is one of JOY 1t is great re-
lief to know that the human misery which we have
from day to day been recording is stayed that the
dogs of war are again chained, and that half mil
lion of men have ceased to fly at each others
throats But, this first congratuution felt and ut
tered, We consider more closely the circumstances
of this sudden halt of conquerer in his triumph
and ask ourselves whether this armistice is really
the prelude to peace, or whether it is but stop
to take pI cath for further race of conquest The
position OF me two parties is not of that equal
character which would enable US to hope that
both in the same degree DESTROYS of
lasting peace. -iustriI his hitherto lost erery-
Ting hat she could hav lost. She has been
beaten IN erery batae, she has been driven
back from ecery position. All the prestige
demoralized less by defeat than by profound dis
trust of their leaders and their military organza-
ton. She could not be in worse position than she
now is. If she had lost another great battle on the
Adige-if Peschiera had fallen, if Verona had been
taken, and if Mantua had been stormed, it would
not be apparent to the world than II is at this
moment that ,1us'rtd as Unable TO cope 10Th
France as q military POrer. To her, therefore,
cessation of hostlites is but the surrender of all
hone of retrieving her military honor In con
sentng to IT she must have abandoned all her
pride, and must have embraced only the last
hope Of safety. She must mean peace, and
she must mean to pay the price of peace, if
this step is any other than an illadvised momen-
tary expedient To France, on the contrary, either
for peace or for war, this armstice is worth
another great victory. Paris may illuminate for
it as for victory on the Adige, or for the storm
Of Mantua. Austria as al home, ruth her re-
sources behind her, and riM Germany mastering in her
rear France is far array reduced by her hard fights,
requiring renforcenens, anxious to bring up her sup
plies, and desYous q time to enable tier combi-
nations from the sedcoast 10 dere'9pe themselves
Every moment of delay to France is gain. Every
moment of delay conceded by Austria Is q contes-
sion of exhaustion. II this armistice is but truce
like that concluded ten years ago between Radetzky
and Charles Albert then it is a fatal concession
the part Of Francis Joseph, for it will but enable his
enemy to repair his strength.
We will hope, however, that in consenting to this
armi-tice the Emperor Of Austria has made up his
mind to the necessary conditions OF peace. The

either for absolute submission tor another obsti
nate and hopeless fight He has chosen the former
alternative. He has submitted. Well, what will be
the terms? The progress of this contest has done
much to disclose to us the character of the who
has brought this campaign to so speedy termna-
ton. He never swerves from his formed design, but
march step by step, and by short certain advances,
to the objects he has proposed to himself He
may be expected to be moderate in the hour Of
Austria cam scarcely expect more thaa e To a Se

which enabled her to dominate Lombardy cannot
be expected to remain Internationally in her
hands. Venice is not yet part of the French con-
quests, and she may stipuae that the Queen Of the
Adriatic may be allowed to retain an Independent
