THE MOCK PEACE.  EXCITEMENT IN PARIS.  The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post (Second Edition) says :  "Despatches have reached Paris stating that the whole of Italy is greatly agitated. The Pope has sent for assistance, in the shape of troops, to the Emperor Napoleon and Francis Joseph. " The proclamation was received, I have no hesitation in saying, with displeasure, and in some instances it was torn down. The conditions on which the war has been closed have produced a painful dissatisfaction in all classes who feel for the national honour of France, and who are real friends of the Emperor Napoleon. I believe the day will come when it shall be proved that the Emperor has been deceived as to the state of feeling in Europe. lam sure his Majesty was influenced to make peace by reports about revolutions and the invasion of France by Germany, all got up by Jesuits and their tools to frighten him into shaking hands with Francis Joseph. Never was intrigue more active—intrigue at St. Cloud, at St. James's, at Vienna, at Berlin. The whole machinery of Court influence was set to work to prevent the allies from taking the fortresses which are the key to Austrian influence in Italy, and the support consequently of the rotten Governments of the Pope and Sovereigns of Italy. By some fatal and mysterious influence Napoleon 111, has fallen into the trap of his greatest enemies, although they may wear the livery of friends. Who shall dare to say what may follow ? Italy will be in a state of revolution. Mazzini will commission his agents again. The future is gloomy. There is no repose for Europe. The Emperors have not made peace—they have simply endangered their own lives and their thrones.  " I hear to-day Count Cavour has given in his resignation, and I should not be at all surprised if Victor Emmanuel were to abdicate. After fighting half a dozen battles for the freedom of Italy from Aus trian tyranny, to find Sardinia placed under Francis Joseph and the, Pope is a sad mockery ! The fortresses being in the hands of Austria causes the annexation of Lombardy to Piedmont to end in a cruel mockery. The more the world knows about the treaty of peace the less will honest men like it. A treaty which politically murders 30,000,000 of people belongs rather to 1815 than 1859.  "Discontent in Paris at the Emperor's proclama tion and fears of revolt in Italy have caused the funds to fall again to-day, as well as all other securities. The Threes are now at 68f, 30c, being a fall of lf. on yesterday's prices. ~ The King of Sardinia has arrived in Milan. His Majesty will, it is expected, renounce his title to Lombardy, and in all probability abdicate."  The Paris correspondent of the Times (Second  Edition), says : " The Emperor's Proclamation to the Army of Italy, which appears in to-day's Moniteur, has not much diminished the dissatisfaction of those who counted upon a complete fulfilment of the Imperial programme—the emancipation of Italy ' from the Alps to the Adriatic.' It was hardly worth while, they say, to sacrifice so many thousands of lives and spend so many millions, for which a far better application might be found, to expose even the Crown of Franc..., merely to give Lombardy to Victor Emmanuel. ' Italy shall be free to the Adriatic !': Each one asks his neighbour what the Emperor really did mean by this magnificent phrase ? In a word, the discontented can see nothing fixed, nothing defined—and the only point they seem to agree upon is that, whatever quality the Emperor Napoleon possesses, he has not on this occasion given proof of common sense.
