THE PEACE.

The Vienna correspondent of the London Times
SAYS that the representatives of Austria France and
Sardinia will soon meet at Zurich to conclude the
treaty of peace There will be no Congress, as
the two Emperors have agreed to settle their diff:
ferences without the intervention of the neutral
Powers.
The Paris correspondent ofthe London Daily News
after careful enquiry, afirms that the terms OF
the peace have not only occasioned feeling OF
disappointment, and even OF Indignation, among
all those who took sincere interest in the object
of the war. but have very seriously damaged and
lowered the Emperor in the opinion Of all classes
of society.
IrALY.-Strong indications of discomfort at the
terms of peace we're visible in some parts OF
Italy AtFlorcnce great agitation prevailed and the
Provisional Government had issued proclamation,
which describes the peace of Villfranca as betray-
ing the finest hopes; says that the Tuscan govern
ment participated IN the sentiments OF the Tuscan
people on the subject and declares that Tuscany
will not be replaced under the yoke and influence
of Austria against her will and rights.
The PieGmontesc correspondence OF the Daily
News says, that fresh Piedmontese troops are go
ing to Romagma, with Napolcon's consent, to main
tain order and take from the Pope all hope of re-
covering it by the help of the Swiss Guards.
The Emperor of Austria according to an official
dispatch which had reached Paris commands the
whole of his forces to remain in position and to be
provided with food and military resources, just as
they would have been had not peace been declared
FRANCE.-The Emperor arrived at st. Cloud
on Sunday morning, the 18th ult. The Empress,
with the Imperial Prince and the ladies and officers
of the household, were in waiting to receive
him. For more than an hour at the railway
station the little Prince wore his corpOraPs uni
form, and had laurel crown in his hand ready to
give his father his arrival As soon as the
Emperor arrived he kissed the Empress, took the
Imperial Prince in his arms and held him for some
minutes. He afterwards gave his to the En-.
press, and proceeded in carriage to the chateau
SARDIN1A-The London Times correspondent
at Turin says that peace has produced the greatest
exaspiration and detection in that capital. The
Emperor Napoleon is accused of being traitor to
Italy and his portraits have been withdrawn from
the shop windows to prevent their being broken.
1t is now affirmed that Sardinia 81 gned nothing
but the armistice and consequently is now in a
nominal state of war with Austria.
PoRTUGAL.-The Queen of Portugal died on
the 10th of July, from a severe attack of sore
throat. 1t will be remembered that she was mar
ried only few months since.
Account Of the Circumstances uhih Preceded
the Ar.tistice.-A Paris letter in the Indepen-
dence of Brussels gives the following account of the
circumstances which preceded the armistice:
The Emperor of Austria having caused de-
mand to be made at the French camp, if it were
not possible to obtain the remains of Prince
Windschagraetz, who was killed at Solferino, the
Emperor caused them to be sought for-and they
were recognized, partly by his uniform, and part
ly by some letters from his newly married wife,
which he had placed about him. The corpse was
placed in artillery wagon, and conveyed, accom-
panied by officer of the staff and escort, to
the Austrian headquarters. The officer expressed to
the Emperor the coincidence of the Emperor of the
French; and his Austrian Majesty. (who re-
covering from somewhat indisposition) begged,
not without emotion, the officer to convey his
thanks to the Emperor Napoleon, and to express
his sorrow at the death of SO many brave in
the French army. This led to some remarks upon
the cruel necessities of war, and from what was
sad the Emperor Francis Joseph able to
perceive that those necessities were regretted as
much by his opponents as by himself The En-
peror Francis Joseph afterwards sent the son of
General Urban with flag of truce to the French
camp, as is known, and the Emperor Napoleon,
by autograph letter, proposed suspension of arms.
