am afraid we are again getting into mess
Peace negotiations between Austria and Italy do
not go on very swimmingly the truce between
these two countries has expired and we do not
know what has been done-if the Italians will lis
ten to reason, or if they wish TO have fresh
whipping from the Kaiserlichs.
Italy plays dangerous game, but Austria is
very beadstrong and shortsighted. She cannot
make up her mind to give up the Trentne dis
tricts to Italy, and the consequence is that the
cabinet Of Florence will not consent to conclude
peace with Austria until she gives up what the
Italians consider to be
THE KEY TO vENETIA.
Victor Emmanuel now asks the cabinet Of vi
enna--Will you, yes or no, give me mp what con-
slider my right, in order that Franz Joseph may no
longer have an opportunity of shufiing as is his
wont These freah dificultieswhich have arisen
IN the Italian question, explain the sudden return
of the emperor from Vichy, where he intended re-
naming until the end of the month. Napoleon
Ill. is fond Of the telodese system, and no doubt
finds 1t imperative for him to be in Paris whilst
everything is in such state ofconfusion in
Europe; besides which our neighbors, the Prus
SLAMS, are getting saucy after their victories in
Bohemia and on the Mans We know that Bis
mRrck never was friend Of France and much
less of the Napoleon dynasty. A coolness between
the cabinets of the Tuieries and Berlin is already
perceptible. The shoe pinches somewhere. It is
quietly rumored that certain promises made by
the PTussian premier to the emperor before the
success Of the needle gun are not likely to be re-
membered.
We no longer hear of any cession Of the left
bank Of the Rhine nor even apart of it; quite the
contrary, the German papers now recall to their
readers that Lorraine and Alsata are German to
the backbone, and must be reclaimed.
The Prussana now think themselves the masters
Of Europe, and talk OF breaking up the Gallo EN-.
piEe into provinces, without the permission Of
France. They forget that they are only at the
AZ hat
their arrangements cannot be carried out without
our consent. Germany is far from being an united
country, and those States which a few weeks ago
7 were desirous of seeing Prussia licking the dust
are now at her feet and ready to submit TO any
thing. ltwould be much better were Bismarck to
follow an open and frank policy and keep on good
Eerms with France, that the peace of the world
may not be any longer disturbed.
Russia is in no way pleased with the turn that
things are taking in Prussia, and Austria will never
forget the humiliation of 1866. England, too is
looking with anxiety at what is going on in Ger
many, for she will never allow second maritime
power to set itself mp in Europe.
Asregards Italy, she seems to be anything but
satisled with her ally, who seems inclined to leave
her in the lurch. ~

The day after the eession Of Venice to France
by tho emperor of Austria Count Bismarck begin
ning 20 feel that an alliance might spring up be-
tween Austria and France, instantly sent Off q
messenger to Victor Emmanuel to remind him
thathe was bound by treaties mot to enter into
any negotiations separately With Austria. and that
a ne did So itNould be an act of treason towards
mis- ally, The consequences is that IL
took no notice of the official cession Of Venice ana
continued hostilitiea as before. Prussia has now
got all she wants, and cares as mueh.for Italy Az
one does for broken stick which is no longer Of
any use and leaves Cialdini face to face with the
Archduke Alhrecht,
A piece of news5of which it is anything but
comforting for Mexican bond holders, Is

French ground at ST. Magaire; she was received

ask Napoleon Ill not to abandon her husband in

LIE PETIT JOURNAL,
The first born Of the small non-politcal journals
which appeared in Paris, must, since It's birth,
have been doing a most thriving business, as III.
Milland the proprietor, is building splendid
mansion in the Rue Lafayette, and he invites the
public to bring It's money and join partnership
with hn in order TO give the Petit Journal further
extension, Monsieur Miand wants rather large
sum but as one fool makes many, aud as the
article is plentiful iii Paris there is every reason
TO belieye that the spirited editor will ind fools
enough ready to psTt with their money.
