Sill Ira u Fog.
TIE expression Of public opinion a. to the
terms Of the peace in Italy is necessarily vague
add shadowy up to the present time, for there
exists, 10 fact, no knowledge Of what they are,
except tba. elimmering which the despatch of
the French Emperor to the Empress opens to us.
Beyond this the world is in ignorance OF the ar
engagements by which the fruits of the war are
to be manifested; but people must theorize aud
speculate upon events Of this kind, and so in
advance of accurate Information all kinds Of sur
misses are floating around.
One fact is evident, that outside Of France
the peace is viewed with uneasiness aud
dissatisfaction. The Italians Of the ultra
school, who expected SO much. from the
war, are naturally Discontinued at the course
of Louis Napoleon; but who could reasonably
suppose that he, an Emperor, with the interests
Of his own people and dynasty ct stake, would
consult the extreme views of the Italian revolu-
tiopists in the face of those serious complications
which confronted him? But the fact that all the
rest Of Europe is dissatisfied will only strengthen
the popularity Of Napoleon in France. The
French people begin to think that he has out
witted oil the Powers of the Continent, and they
will feel proud of him in consequence. That
their Emperor and Francis Joseph alone, despis.
ing the interference of England and the other
neutral Powers, should have plucked the chest
nut out of the live GOALS with their own hands, is
amazingly gratifying to the pride of the French
people, and the measure of their qualification is
enhanced by the reflection that Louis Napoleon
is about 70 cut the chestnut himself We should
not be surprised then, if the entering Of the vic
torious army into Paris was the scene Of the
most magnificent ovations which that ooy Of
pageantry and stirring demonstrations ever wit
messed.
Rumors had been circulated that an unfriendly
feeling had sprung up between the French En-
peror ard Victor Emanuel, in consequence Of the
mode by which peace was brought about, but
we fail to see any corroborative evidence of
The report. The language which the King Of
Sardinia employed in bis order of the
day, issued after the conclusion Of peace,
would not imply dissatisfaction of its terms. In
that document the King congratulates the people
of Lombardy on The achievement of their indie.
pendence, "with the powerful aid of our magua-
uirnous and valiant ally, the Emperor of the
French" ard be continues" take your destiny
under my direction, and hope to ind in you that
concurrence which the chief of State needs in
order 10 create a new administration. I tell
you, people of Lombardy, to trust in your King.
Established on a solid and imperisbable basis, he
will procure happiness for new country which
Heaven has entrusted to his government
If it be true-ard we think it the most plaus-
BILE rumor abroad-that France, Austria and
Sardinia are about to hold Congress at Zurich
to settle the affairs of Italy, it will do away with
any dscourtesies which may have attached to
the non. participation Of Victor Emanuel in the
interview at villafranca. The admission of Sar.
DINA into the Congress On equal terms with
France and Austria, and into an equal voice in
the disposition of the future of Italy, will neces-
salily imply the absence Of slight on the part of
the two larger Powers, and must prove satisfac-
tory to Victor Emaruel.
Moreover, we look upon it as morally certain
that the administration of Count Cavour, whose
counsele in the government seem to be essential
to the interests Of the ultra Italian party, will be
resumed as soon as the new order of things is ar
ranged probably within year from now.
The position of the Italians in Lombardy we
conceive to be secure as long az Napoleon lives
and governs in France; but should revolution
demolish his dynasty, or pistol shot cut short
biz life, it would be impossible to say with GER
tanty that the old relations of Austria with
Lombardy would not be resumed, and the latter
territory become once more part of the Aus
TRAN empire
