PARIS. Thursday, July 81, 1859.
The Peace does not grow in public favor.
The feeling of the people is one of profound
disappointment and discomfort Their hopes,
us tile war went on, rose higher and higher.
The brilliant victories which crowned every
ST p of the French army reused sentiment
Of military glory-always strong ina French
mans breast--to the highest point of enthu-

van OF Liberalism in Europe, and looked for
nothing less than the utter basement of Aus

feared abroad. The French people were pre-
pared to see this war carried ON to the bit
Ter end. They were ready for all the chan
ces and all the sacrifices that it might IN

Of Europe; but even if that had BEEN certain,
think they would not have shrank from it.

thirst Tor its disgrace, have not been gratii-

wishes, which seemed t. weigh so much at
the OUTSET, have been in the final adjustment
