— *• " ' ' ¦ THE PEACE . On Tuesday last in all the capitals of Eur ope arrived the following telegraphic despatch which had been transmitted from Paris : — - ' j . . " The Emperor to the Empress . —A treaty of peace has been signed between the Emperor of Austria and myself . The conditions of peace are the folio wing : — 'An Italian Confederation , under the honorary presidency of the Pope . The Emperor of Austria gives up his rights over Lombardy to the Emperor of- the French * who remits them to the King of Sardinia . The Emperor of Austria keeps Venetia , but it is to form a part of the Itahan Confederation . A general amnesty . ' " . The same day an extra sheet of the Dresden Journal publishes a despatch from Verona announcing that the preliminary conditions of peace had teen signed by the two Emperors , while the official bulletin of Turin published the text of the convention of armistice . It is said the belligerent armies will keep the positions which they now occupy . The railways to Verona , Peschiera . and Mantua were , during the armistice , to be used to carry provisions to those fortresses . The works , offensive and defensive , of Peschiera are to remain in their present state . The convention was signed ty Generals Vaillant , Martimprt . y , della Roeoa , Hess , and Mensdorff . ...
The Austrian Correspondence says that Austria and France will support the formation of an Italian Confederation , to which Austria accedes . Lom"bardy , as far as the line of the Mincio , is to be given up .. Mantua , Peschiera , Borgoforti , and the whole of Venetia , remain Austrian possessions . The Prinees of Tuscany and Modena are to return to th « ir states . THe Constitutlohnel , on the other liand , says Peschiera arid Mantua form part of Lombardy , and are consequently ceded to the King of Piedmont . On Tuesday the preliminary conditions of the treaty of peace with France were signed by both Sovereigns .
-- .. The Emperor Napoleon was expected to arrive at Paris on Thursday or to day . He was to proceed direct from the Lyons station to St . Cloud , postponing his formal entry into Paris until the return of the army . In the meantime deputations are preparing to welcome the Emperor at his summer residence .
Napoleon's Proclamation. !The Following ...
NAPOLEON'S PROCLAMATION . ! The following proclamation was published in the Moniteur , of Thursday : — " Soldiers , —The bases of peace have been settled with the Emperor of Austria . The principal object of the war is attained ; Italy is about for the first time to become a nation . A confederation of all the Italian States , under the honorary presidency of the Holy Father , will collect into one ' fascis ' the members of one and the same family . Venetia , it is true , remains under the sceptre of Austria ; she will nevertheless be an
Italian province , forming part of the confederation , " The junction of Lombardy to Piedmont creates for us on this side of the Alps a powerful ally , who will owe his independence to us ; the Governments that have taken no part in . the movement , or that have been recalled to their possessions ? will comprehend the necessity of salutary reforms . A general amnesty will obliterate the traces of civil discords . Italy , henceforth the mistress of her destinies , will only have to accuse herself should she not progress regularly in order and freedom .
« ' You will soon return to France : a grateful country will there receive with transport those soldiers who have raised so high the glory of our arms at , Montobello , Palestro , Turbigo , Magenta , Marignano , and Soferino ; who iA two months have freed Piedmont and Lombardy , and have only stopped because the contest was about to assume proportions no longer in keeping with the interests that Franco had in this formidable war . " Be proud , then , of your successes—proud of the results obtained—proud especially of being the wellboloved children of that Franco who will always bo groat , so long as she has the heart to comprehend noble onuses , and men Hko you to defend them . *• From the head-quarters of Valeggio , July 12 , " NAPOLEON .

Victor Emmanuel And Oavour. A Telegram F...
VICTOR EMMANUEL AND OAVOUR . A telegram from Turin announces that Count Cavour . haa tendered his resignation , which has boon accepted by the King . Count Arose has boon charged to form a now Cabinet , Cavour , the leader of the national party in Italy , ma made known his opinion of tho peace by resigning his ministry . There could bo no doubt as to tho course which that high-spirited minister would take , Et was trith appeals and promises to
Italy that the war was commenced , and it is before Italy that the pacification must be justified . Count Cavour declines to say that this is a righteous peace . That his patriotic sentiments are shared by his colleagues , we learn from the Peidmontese Gazetteof Thursday , which announces that the Ministers of the King have tendered their resignations , holding office only till the formation of the new Cabinet . The King of Sardinia has arrived at Milan , where he was received with plaudits and cries of " Vivail Re" by the populace . . The same evening the following proclamation was posted up in Milan : — " The King to the people of Lombardy . —Heaven has blessed our arms . With the powerful aid of our magnanimous and valiant ally , the Emperor Napoleon , we arrived in a few days , after victory upon victory , at the banks of the Mincio . To-day T come back among you to tell you the happy news that Heaven has granted your wishes . An armistice , followed by the preliminaries of peace , assures to the people of Lombardy their independence . According to your desire , so many times expressed , you will henceforth form , with our ancient states , one single and free family . I will take your destiny under my direction , and hope to find in you that concurrence which the chief of a state needs in order to create a new administration . Men of Lombardy , trust to your King . Established on solid and imperishable bases , he will procure happiness for the new countries which Heaven has intrusted to hi ' a Government . "

KOSSUTH AND KLAPKA . These individuals , according to private letters from Turin , have both been detained at that place under the strictest surveillance of the French police , to-whom instinct , no doubt , taught that if a treaty was about to be signed between France and Austria , it would not be wise to suffer the two pertiirbators of Hungarian peace to run off to Hungary . We hear of no stipulations in favour of Hungary , nor indeed of any other nationality . We must conclude , then , that MM . Kossuth , Klapka , and the other Hungarian patriots who figured lately , were introduced merely to hasten the denouement of the melodrama , ¦ " -
The Adriatic.—We Have Received Some Deta...
The Adriatic . —We have received some details of the unsuccessful bombardment of Zaraby . a French frigate . The ship captured-by the Austrians , the restoration of which the French intended to enforce by the bombardment , was subsequently given up by them when the armistice became known , and on the express order of the Emperor of Austria . The Artillerist ' s Victory ; . —Francis Joseph himself is reported to have told General Fleury that the battle of Solferino cost the Austrian army forty-five thousand men . It would be almost incredible were there not 1 , 650 officers in tbe hospitals of Verona . The Emperor is further reported to have said to General Fleury , " Nous ne pouvons pas lutter contre votraartillerie . " It seems that the greatest losses were sustained in the reserves , winch , although placed far off , were even more cut up than the first line .
Military Insurrection At Naples. On The ...
MILITARY INSURRECTION AT NAPLES . On the 9 th inst . some Swiss troops mutinied in the barracks , and killed the colonel of the 4 th Regiment and several officers . They afterwards repaired to the Royal Palace , but a battalion of Chasseurs and a regiment of Hussars posted there forced thorn to fall , back as far as the Champ de Mars , wliere they were surrounded . The G , eneral Comtnander-in-Chief of the Swiss called upon them to , surrender , but ; they replied by a discharge of firearms , wounding tho general and about twenty privates . General Nunzianto then gave orders to fire on the ^ mutineers with grape , by which seventy-five were killod and 233 wounded . Tho King is at present residing at Naples . 1 , 800 men belonging to the Swiss regiments have since been dismissed , and are about to leave for Marseilles , on their way home , with the consent of the French minister .

His Hjghness will bo accompanied by his sons , Murad and Abdil Aziz , and by Fuad Pacha , Minister of Foreign Affairs . The Sultan will visit pmyrna , Syria , Egypt , and Malta . M . Thouvenel is cxpooted hero j lie was to stay at Athens . Tho political sky is calm . Twra Late Kmo of Sweden . -- Tho telegraph informs us that King Oscar I . died on Friday at Stockholm , having just completed his sixtieth year . Illness had prevented him from taking any active part in the government of his kingdom since tho month of September , 1867 . The deceased monarch , was the son of Bornadotto ( or Charles Jolm XXV , ) , to whom he succeeded in 1844 .
Austria And The German Confederation. Th...
AUSTRIA AND THE GERMAN CONFEDERATION . The preposition unexpectedly made by Austria lathe Frankfort Diet , to appoint the Prince Regent of Prussia Commander-in-Chief of the armies of the Confederation , has caused great astonishment and indignation at Berlin . Prussia wants to see the federal contingents . united to her army , but the Austrian proposition is to- lasso the Regent of Prussia , and drag him down from his independent position as head and * director of a European state of the first order , to that of an oflicer of the Germanic Confederation , in which Austria has a majority of votes . —
Reasons Foe The Peace.—Parisian Quidnunc...
Reasons foe the Peace . —Parisian quidnuncs gossip in this wise : — " Giving all due value to the . moderation and magnanimity of the Emperor Napoleon , or to his compassion for the unfortunate condition of the Austrians , both morall y and physically , there may be a variety of other reasons why both parties were not indisposed to embrace the first favourable opportunity for suspending hostilities . We know that the Emperor Napoleon has been greatly affected by the losses he , all victorious as he is , has sustained in these campaigns , and pained by themass of human suffering , of which he could hardly have had a conception before . We are also informed that typhus fever is raging in both , camps . It is affirmed that there are 10 , 000 or 11 , 000 attacked with it in the victorious army . Then , again , it is pretty certain that the conduct of Victor Emmanuel and M . Cavour has given anything but satisfaction to the Emperor , and would , if persisted , in , most seriously commit him with those whose enmity would be most inconvenient ; and also , perhaps , the . certainty that if the v ar continued it would soon become general . "
Affairs In Syria..—A Letter Dated Mount ...
Affairs in Syria .. —A letter dated Mount Lebanon , June 23 , says , "I have "been moving about in various parts of this mountain , partly for the purpose of what the Syrians call to sham-el-howa ( smell the wind—or , as we say , change of air ) , and partly for investigating the actual and real stater of the silk crop in these silk-growing regions .. Nothing can be more lamentable than the results of rny investigations- With the single exception of a small district near the sea-coast , which does not produce more than twenty thousand okes—which nr round numbers you may call 50 , 000 lbs . of cocoons , I have not seen a single mulberry plantation , nor an estate , that will this year have more than one-eighth , of an average crop . I should say that , the whole silk crop throughout Lebanon and the adjacent districts will not exceed this year more than onetenth , perhaps not so much , of an ordinary average year . Syad Pacha , the Viceroy of Egypt , left on the 17 th , after a sojourn of about a week in Bey rout-He has returned to Alexandria . The people of themountain all believe that his coming was to spy out the nakedness of the land , and the report all over Lebanon is that he is to return and take possession of the country , and will be supported by France and Russia ; the former having the Maronite and Greek Catholic population at its back , the latter the members of the Greek church . Moreover , so say the mountaineers , England will endeavour to prevent this , and will have the Druses and xMoslems to support her , so that the old fighting days of 1840 may be looked for again . "
