for the immediate cession of two OF the

ments of the armies continue. The
Prussians are advancing far beyond Par-
dubitz, and are within few days march
of Vienna. South of the Alps, Cialdini
had crossed the Po on Sunday, and large
Austrian force was moved to meet him.
II Is to be hoped, however, that the nego.
tiations for the armistice may be conclnoea
before the combatants have time W P'o-
coed to extremitics.
The Times then goes on to say that Italy
ought to be entirely satisfied with the acqn'-
sition of Venetia, the more especially as she
has not been victorious, and 1t has peeh
Prussia who won Vcnetia for them. But
with reference to the German question the

It is possible, says the Times, that
Prussia NAV, out of Difference to the neu-
tral Powers, forego all the advantages she
has won by war, and renounce all idea oi
territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. But she ought
not. and she probably will not, give up iier

of the war far beyond its present limits.

THE PEACE IN FRANCE-NAPOLEON VEXED.
The Paris correspondent of the Times,
under date the 10th, is quite interesting.
We extract the following:
( The public have, it is now seen, been
! somewhat hasty in concluding that the
cession Of Vcnctia to the Emperor Napo-
! leon implied the immediate cessation OF
/ hostilties and the restoration Of peace.
| Every morning the Ion;tear is most anX-
ouSly looked at for the news which is still
10 complete the memorable note of Thurs
day last. The delay is borne 'rih uapa-
tience by the public, who long for the war
10 cease in Germany, and who are pam
fully apprchol>ire lest France may Soneh"N
o. otter be dragged into ii and the respon-
sibiHty is thrown upon I:aly. 1t is true
that the offer of mediation and the armls-
ticc has not been accepted Internationally
bv the King Of Prussia hut the King OF
Prussia lost no time in replying to the
Emperor. For his part, he said he should
accept provided the conditions of the
armistice did not interfere with the sup
plies OF his army and the maintenance OF
the positions which its military successes
had given il; but before anything was done
he was obliged to concert with his ally the
King Of Italy. The answer of the King OF
Italy was much colder and still more reserved ;
before giving his assent he must consult
his Ministers. Hence tie mrn,H;S OF I'M
patience, conplajntS Of ingrdtit'nie, and eren
trOItiS Of anger.
On the other hand, the over Jealous
friends of Italy here are against Italy ac-
cepting Venctia from the hands Of France.
An article in the new journal La Lidertf,
said to be "inspired" by Prince Napoleon
! himself, if it has not actually proceeded
from his pen, contends that Prussia and
Italy cannot accept the tardy proposition
of Austria. Had France been third bel
ligerent, she indeed might, as she did at
Villafranca, impose her will, but az she
has preferred the position of neutral, she
has no rigM to dictate TO either Prussia or
Italy. The appeal of the Emperor of Aus:
tria to the Emperor Of tho French is no.
thing more than a cry Of distress, which
should pass unheeded. Italy cannot, either
with gratitude or with honor, accept We
META from one who is not a victorious bel
ligcrcnt, though he may be a generous
neutral. II is not to France that Italy Is
n0c iud.Jt,d, tW to Prussia. Size IS not
free to accept gift from France. Prussia
is her ally, and 1t is TO her she owes ii that
the defeat Of Custozza has been avenged
by the victory Of Sadowa; and if she ac-
ccpt what is thus offered her, she could not
do so without dishonor.
The Emperor IS haraSSed anil cered by
AL these difficulties, which he had not an
ticipated from Prussia and Italy. Prussia
shows no signs of abating her pretensions.
Elated by her victories, she seems to care
little for the anger Of France, OF whom she
no longer stands in awe, and is not dis
posed to spare her PROSTATE enemy sim
Gle humiliation. A bitter disappointment
also is that which comes from Italy, for We
cannot credit the rumors that the passage
of the Pc by Cialdini, just announced by
telegraph, has been either toih tie opprora!
, or tie c0y,,isance of the Emperor. Venetia,
! since its ccssion, belongs to France, and the
Italians must have unbounded confidence
in their new strength or in the power of
their new ally to meade French territory.
, The passage of the Po is equivalent to the
rejection of the drmiStice, and is likely to be
/ the fora1nnn' Of fresh and serious conpH-
cations.
