Italy-.The Zurich Conference and In.
Proposed Peace Congress.
The London Times publishes the folloSine letter
from its Paris correspondent.
PARIS, August 20 II mentioned Yesterday tha,
| the rumors, founded on q telegram from Zurich
which circulated respecting the settlement OF the
quettion of LOmbardy, were erroneous Tie PIeni-
potenIisries have not brought their lsbors 10 con-
clusion respecting LOmbardy. The boundary quss-
tion has not been decided nor has an agreement
been come to as TO the portion Of the debt to be
transferred to Sardinia in consequences of her ne
acquisition. An understanding on this point be-
tween the Austrian and Sandman Plenipotentiaries
is not easy, so long the former persists in his
pretensions that Austria shall be relieved not only
from the debt corresponding TO the province which
she has lost, but from portion OF that which weighs
heavily on the empiee. Sardinia is no way inclln-
ed to lake upon her enormous liabilities incurred
in upholding the despOtic system Of Austria in
Lombsrdy,
Bat even if LOmbardy was settled, the stipula-
tioDs of Vilafranca would still remain unaceom-
pIished and il is still question for consideration
whether these will be left for general Congress or
sImuly for the Austrian and French governments.
A Congress might pa ch up the matter in some way.
but is it cersain Il ct Congress will ever Sit
We know that the Emperor Napoleon pryp sed ii
20 his brother and friend "the enemy, but that
his "friend," whose recollection Of Congresses
is perhaps, not very agreeable positively refused
and that the Conference of Zurich was accepttd as
a Pis Giler.

be reasonably doubted whether NJ, WaleWski snd
Count Reehherg would he able TO effect what The
P enipotenhsries now si'tng,at Zurich fail The
d ffieutes are grave. Austria stipulated as in
d spenssble lDdition Of peace the restoration Of
the Dukes Of Tuscany and MOdels 90 or the Ouch
ess of Parma, she was net eonsderei all, she wls
left to ihe mercy of Napoleon and Victor nanu~l

Josep who threw the Ouch So overheard d1c'arei
he W u'd not make peace but on the conAt on that
the D ,kes restored t. beir thrones. The En-
peror of the French, of whom it is no calnmny 10
say that he had had enough Of war, and Was will
ing at almost any sacr fee, TO bring it eonclu
scn had no alternative but TO accep he conditions.
Fhe acceI tar ce exis but 1t IS Eot Tue that writ
ten agreement exis,s that rec should be employed
hy either the single or the double-headed eagle in
that restora ion. The treaty Of VilafcsRca is 81
lent On this point; snd the Emperor Napo cen has
more tnsn once pledged him'e that nothing shall
he done by aims Force or no force, it is certain,
hrwever, that both Sogsrcigns have sgTeed On
IeStoTatioR
On sending thsir plenipotsntiary to Zurich, the
Piedmontese Government particularly instructed
him, as have had already occasion 10 observe, net
only 10 sign protocol referring to that point but
TO accept no discussion on it Bu' protocol signed
merely by NJ. ii. ColloTedJ and Bourqusney 6ould
not advance the great question a single step from
the day the preninaries of VillafrsBca agreed
to. Austria, suspectig that che has been mys,iftd
still appeals to the stipulatiops Of Vlafrsnca
Piedmont declares thatthess stipuatons are CON
cern Of hers; Cen raj Itay is gong her way thus
far fairly enough and the Emperor Napoleon is 81
lent and impenetrable. Nothing would better suit
him than the submission Of thst popuisiopte their

Whether he does or no the deliters'e acts of the
Tuscans and ModeDese are great fficuIy in the
way Of the peace Of Zurich. Count Reset has fall
ed in his mission to Central Italy probably will
Prince PeniatoWski. if it be for ibe same object
namely, to coax the Central Italians to cali back
their runaway Princes. Finding this rather fl
cult every species of argument is used to induce
the King of SardiniI to refuse the anne xaiiOn 81
incompatible with the conditions offered by Francis
Joseph. Indeed learn that st Turin France is
employing her utmost efforts to induce Victor EmaL
uel to turn a deaf ear to the Duchies Intrgues,
entreaties little too energetic, employed for
that purpose. As yet they have been disregarded; !;
the King holds out ard the MAJ GRITTY of the Cabinet
are stauneh. The opinion at Turin is that there
things msy retard the annexation, but will notpre

The following from the Paris correspondent Of
the London Times, is published in the second edI-
tion Of that Journal Of Wednesday, Aug 81:
PARIS Aug. 80, 6. P. NJ Il believe that ncthing
is yet definitely signed Zurich, and the Turin ad
vices which affirm the fact are cOrroborsted by what
lesrn nearer home. NJ de Bourqueney sent a
courier from Zurich to Paris yesterday and the Sar
dinian Plenipotentisry another to Turin. Il ap-
pears ihar in the Conference held on the 28h when
The subject 1 noticed yesterday discussed, ar
other question was introduced which would seem of
less than secondary Importance, and is only m ot-
ed to gain, or, more properly spesking, 10 waste
tine. I'D. Il.
The discussion allude to was as the denomination
tn was 10 be given to the EeW Piedmoutese king
d m; and whether the Prince who rules Piedmont,
lvoy, and G. nos 10 continue to bear the title
Of King Of Sardinia? And. if not by what name is
be TO be known among the Sovereigns of Europe?
The AGstrien PenipoteDtiaries, perhaps convinced
that the mater really involved the ba aDee of pow
fr in Europe, either directly or through the chan
mel of Baron de Bourqusney, desired to be inform
ed by the Sandman Plenp0teniiary OF the inten-
ton of his Government touching this point The
lster gave il TO be understood that the rev Pied
mOntese kingdom might be called wi.hous pref l.
dice to Europesn interests in general, 10 any
terest in particular, the Kingdom of Upper Italy,
(Regno deli Alta haLia.) This denomin .tion by no
means pleasFs Austria The Emperor ctd g or loses
Lombardy, the Dukes may remain dsthrored for

describe himself King of Upper Itay, was iniol-
