ARMlSTtCE BETWEEN THE BELLGERENr
POWERS

STRONG HOPES OF PEACE.
NEW YoRE, July 2l.-Tho steamship AZ
RIGA, with Liverpool dates to the 9th inst, ar
rived about midnight
Her news is very important and interesting,
An Armistice has been concluded bet,reen the
Allied and austrian Armics till the 18th of
August and strong hopes Of peace are now
entertained.
On the 9TH inst the Emperor of the
French telegraphod to the Empress that an
armistice had been concluded between the
Emperor of Austria and himself, and that
Commissioners had been appointed to settle
She clauses and duration of the armistico

the war may be terminated"
The armistice had given rise to variety Of
specuations to the English papers.
The London Times believes in peace, and
remarks that before the truce has ended the
French army will be refreshed and reinforced,
a fleet Of gunboats will be ready for launch
ing upon the Lake that surrounds Mantua,
and great army will be ready to make its
decent upon the shores of Northern Italy.
Broken and diapirited as Austria now is, she
is yet better able to fight at this moment than
she will be at any future time.
We believe therefore in peace and we be-
heve that the path to peace will be made
smooth TO her. for the Emperor has won the
advantage which for the moment he proposes
to himself If this war between France and
Austria is ended, France comes tremendous in
power out Of the conflict, and Austria and
Europe will look on with still increasing in
terest, and much meditation upon the future
while she rests upon her arms.
LONDON, Saturday, July 9.-The Times Of
to-day says With regard to tho umstice
there is little to communicate beyond what
the public already know. All that seems to
be well authenticated is that the proposal
came from France, and was the result of the
Emperor's own determination. The fact is
indeed highly important That the Emperor
Napoleon should stop short in career Of vic

defeated in two pitched battles and hurried

moderation or the necessities Of the French
ruler. We can hardly believe that the latter
have been the cause Of this sudden resolve

Icon and Francis Joseph really wish to stop
the oifusion of blood, and to settle perma-
nently the affairs of Italy. wc shall be glad to
