understanding the armistice and says negotis
tons may commence but does not zee how tn
war may be terminated.

French and does mot believe il vas latter
France reaps all the benefit from armistic
either way. The armistice has caused muc
excitement. Consols advanced l4a2 per cent
and on the Paris Bourse the advance was 24.-

tween New York and California via the Isthmus
claimed the attention Of the House Of Comm Jus

The Times says with regard to the armistice
there is little to communicate beyond what the
public already know. All that seems to be
authenticated is that the proposal came from
France and was the result Of the Emperor's
own determination. That the Emperor Napo-
leon should stop short in = career OF victory and
make overtures TO the foe whom be has defeated
in two pitched battles aud pushed back to the
limits Of Lombardy, argues the moderation or
necessities of the French ruler; we can hardly
believe that the latter have been the cause Of
this sudden resolve.
