THE CONCLUSION OF PEACE.

Inc sudden ana unexpected termination Of
!! the European war Seems to have occasioned
general dissatisfaction and disappointment.
The war was undertaken for tho avowed pur-
pose of lihern,ing Italy from Austrian despot-
| ism. and making her entirely independent, but
by the terms of the treaty this work is yet to
be done. After an immense expenditure cf
| blood and treasure, Austria still remain strong
ly entrenched in Italy. and that lund remains
without the civil md religious liberty, for
which she has 50 long struggled. The treaty
seeins to have occasoned general dissatisfac-
ti"m III Italy. and the foreign Journals are com.
| 'nsntiny very freely upon the course Of the
Free ch Emperor. lie seems 10 have been poy
ern"d '.y his usual selfish policy. Caring moth
! '"s for the cause of Italian independence, hc
viii esteem himself. we'll repaid, if the late war
whilst gratifying the passion of the French
people for military glory has enabled him to
secure n strong ally in Austria. Indeed the
! terms of the late treaty, seem TO Indicate n
strong desire t" concilintc that power, aud
| make it the fast friend of France
