jump dbma NAPOLEON “TV. From the Norwich Mercury. England. Louis Napoleon has outwitted alike Statesmen and Revolutionary leaders. They no sooner heard of the departure of Kossuth for the Emperor’s head- quarters, and of schemes for restoring iI‘Illllgal'y under some Liberal Monarch, than they learnt that a smgle letter to the Austrian Monarch brings a courteous reply and an immediate armistice, a perâ€" sonal meeting. and in an hour, Peace ; and Peace, too, upon terms which the most enthusiastic friend of Austria could never have anticipated after such a battle as Solferino. But Louis Napoleon has ‘never done anything as other men would have done. His life has been an enigma. IIis real intentions and objects, who will ‘venture to uiiriddle? He commenced to free Italy from the Alps to the Adriatic.

But occurrences may yet in- tervene before the outline is filled up and consummated.

Or will Garibaldi, who has proved again his military prowess, be content to yield the freedom for which before fought. Is Mazzini and his supporters dead, or are they ready and abiding their he has time when the people shall know their destiny! Whichever way the peace is viewed, every where does some difliculty, doubt, or danger rise up against it and threaten to mar its realization. At pre- sent, it is not yet accomplished ; and who 'will venture to prophecy its reception, shaking on his rotten throne. But why either among the Republicans of France or those of Italy after such a blow as the resignation of the constitutional friend of the freedom of Italy. It is a step that Napoleon scarcely anticipated; and its effect upon Sardinia is yet unknown. Austria has shaken hands With France and Russia; may not the next step be an alliance offensive and defensive, and then russia will be asked for a boundary on W” I" l“ “n' the Rhine. ITALY BETRAYED.

Those who freedom. The King of Sardinia, he has held With MaZZIHI that NapOIeon was bought with Lombardy, and the last he has sacrificed because he dared not heard the denunciation of the Church of Rome, The strongest evidence of the bearing and effect of this peace is the resignation quite incapable of carrying out the gener- ous policy which lie pretended to inaugur- ate, have proved correct. The short but bloody struggle of the past two months is an additional example of how little can be of the Minister who has been the soul of really obtained by a people through the iii- Sardinia, and elevated its Monarch to what. he. is, and has devoted his career to obtain an extension of constitutional free: dom, not only for Piedmont and Lom- bardy, but for all Italy. But the stakes Louis Napoleon played for, was not the object of Count Cavour, nor of Pied- mont, but of the Emperor of the French. \Vhile victorious over his opponent, he ideceived the Minister of his ally, and stalemated the Hungarian and the Ro- man patriot. He used them just so long as they served his purposes, and true to his nature (or, as he would call it, his fate) when that purpose was gained, he not only throws them aside, but takes care that they do no harm. He has indeed the wiliness of the serpent, and never was it more truly displayed. He com- menced the war of his own will, under the banner of liberty; he has borne the cost, and he has reaped and gained the produce by his own hand. He announces to Europe, through his telegraph to the Empress, that he and the Austrians have concluded a peace, and leaves the mon- archies ofEurope to hear it as it is told to the meanest. Could there be a proof more convincing that he cares nothing for their opinion. It is suflicieiit for them to know it is done. “ Sic volo sirjubeo, fiat voluntas tibi.” All ask, is Italy free? ceded Lombardy The answer is, Austria has to France, who makes Piedmonta present of it. feated Austria while you looked on. He says, in fact, “I have deo I have permitted Austria to retain her ori- ginal line of territory. The Lombards wished to have VICTOR EMANUEL for King, and being of opinion that people .ought to choose their own rulers, as in iiny own instance, I. have permitted it.--â€" 'JBut the Itomans have no right to select their Monarch, nor the peoples of Par- I rulers, and I shall replace those, although ma and Modena. shall choose their ,the people wished to repudiate them.»â€" “\Vhat is lit for Lombardy is not fit for Venice or Rome.

The war began amid high hopesâ€"Napoleon was received with enthusiastic acelamations, flowers were showered on his path, and for the time the man stood forth the idol of a whole generous and confiding nation. Then followed the quickly-recurring vic- tories, which showed to the Italians that their ally had the power, as they believed he had the will, to free their country from the Adriatic to the sea. l‘oor foolish Italians I you cannot recall the flowers strewn in hope; but now it may be wise to consider whether you cannot help your- selves, and reserve acclamations for your own patriots, who have no selfiin ends to promote, and no interest to betray their country. The two Emperors met on Monday at Villatranca, and cobbled up a peace diSposing of Italy and Italian inter- ests as it suited their own sinister views. The King of Sardinia, whose army has covered itself with glory in the war, who had so much at stake, and whose heroism and patriotism had won for him at least a title to be consulted, is no more considered Ca- vour has shown his sense of the humiliaâ€" than it he were a French general. tion ofthe treaty by at once resigning; and it has been stated that a very bad feel- ing has sprung up betwixt Napoleon and Victor Emmanuel. There is cause enough for a feeling so strong and bitter as to remit in an open rupture; and Napoleon, instead of being anxious to conciliate, seems rather striving to cxasperate the brave men whom he came professed to aid. He says to his soldiers, “ In two months you havefreed Piedmont and Lombardy.” No mention of the fact that Piedmont was, before his arrival, a free constitu- tional country, probably quite able to do:- fcnd itself; and he conveniently forgets the efforts Sardinia has made to aid in driving out the Austrians. “The union of Lom. hardy with Piedmont creates for us a powerful ally, who will owe to us its inde- pendence.” Agaiiigtliey taunt that Sarâ€" But the Eni- peror may yet learn that, while the union of the Province of Lombardy has made Sardinia a strong nation, its does not ne- cessarily follow that it will remain the ally dinia owes all to France I Freedomir.

There freedom means .you must think as I think, say as I say, and do as I do. It is enough that I have made peace, and that I and Austria are friends.

The King of Sardinia placed himself at the head of his troops to fight for the independence of Italy, not merely for annexation of Lombardy. All Italians look up to Count Cavour as the representative of Italian policy; and what will Napoleon say it' the Italians refuse to submit to the paltry peace be has imposed upon them without their consent? Venice, according to this precious treaty, is to re- main subicct to Austria ; the Dukes of Tuscany and Modem are to return to their States; the Pope is to be raised to the Presidency ofan Italian confederation; and not a word about a guarantee of II? As a conclusion to herty to the peOple l a great wai',profcsscdly undertaken to free Italy, the treaty is the hugest sham and farce which has ever been attempted to be palmed on a people. And if Venice rises to throw off the hated yoke, and Sar- dinia. strengthened by the Lombards, rushes to her aid ; ifTuscany and Modena refuse to submit to the Austrian tools whom they have alreain ejected, and the 'tomans join an Italian confederation, of which the Pope shall not be President, what will Napoleon doâ€"~â€"what will he dare to do".l I'Ic glells his soldiers they have only stopped “ because the struggle waslikely to assume proportions which Were no longer in relation with the interâ€" ests which France had in this fearful war.” That is, that there was some chance of genuine freedom being oetained, where mock liberation was only intended; that the nations troddmi down in 1849 were stirring: that Russia was trembling for Poland; that the mutterings of revolution were heard in Hungary, and the Pope was should the Italians for ever submit to be trodden upon by foreigners? Why not make Garibaldi Military Dictator, and in a few months the countryuwould be cleared. Now, as in 1848, after the Imperial liber- ator has played the part of Judas, the people will more eagerly follow popular champions, and Mazzini along with Cari- baldi, will probably now appear on the scene. What Kossuth will do remains to be seen ; but we scarcely think he will be dctarred from his enterprise by the display of Imperial treachery. was happy at being enabled to conclude peace, as soon as the honour and interest of France were satisfied, to prove that it had never been my intention to overrun Europe and provoke a general war.

I thank the diplomatic corps for their congratulations.’ The Emperor Napoleon is reported to be desirous of a congress on Italian affairs, as giving greater cclot to the cancelling of tho treaties of 1815.

SARDINIA STILL AT WAR WITH AUSTRIA.- SANDY IIOOK, August 3.~â€"The Royal mail steamship Persia, from Liverpool on the 23rd ultimo, has arrived off this point. The London Times of the 23rd has the following :â€"â€"â€" VIENNA, Friday everiing.â€"â€"â€"In the course of next week the representatives of Austria and France will meet at Zurich. Austria and France will then conclude a treaty of peace. A Paris letter, dated Friday, to the London Post, says the rumor gains ground that Sardinia would decline to be repre- sented at the mecliiig at Zurich. The Paris correspondent ofthe London Globe says : It is now formally announced that neither Victor Eiiiinaiiual nor any responsible minister of Sardinia has signed any paper at Villa-Franca, save and ex- cept the Armistice which continues till the 15th of August. The discontent in Europe at the terms of peace continued unabated. The ItJm- peror Napoleon’s explanations was by no means considered re-arsui'ing. The Sardinian representative of Zurich not being named, it is expected that none will be present, but Sardinia if she pleases will acqmsesce to the Austro- Freuch arrangements In separate articles. The supposed European conference or congress will meet afterwards. Italy continued to exhibit discontent at the terms of peace. Tuscany showed strong hostility to the return of the Grand Duke, and the Pro- visional Government has directed a popu- lar vote to be taken on the subject. ITALY. Austria and Sardinia are still in a con- structive state of open war, no peace terms having been accepted between these two belligereuts. The Turin Monitcm‘ publishes a deâ€" cree by the provisional government, en~ acting that representatives of the people are to be elected for the purpose of decid- ing by a majority of votes what the future government of the country shall be. The Lombards were apprehensive of being saddled with some proportion of the liabilties of Piedmont. A Paris letter says that news had reached there that 8.5 municipalities in Tuscany had already proclaimed their de- sign to offer armed resistance to the reim- position of the late dynasty. The Paris correspondent of the Times says that, in reply to the provisional go- vernment ofTuscany, the Emperor Na- poleon stated that he had no desire to force the Grand Duke upon them. The French Government organ says the question of the duchies remains unre- gulated. No one says that Piedmont is not to get a good share of them. The population will assuredly be consulted. The rulers of these small states have not governed them so as to make themselves indispensible. A letter from Genoa says that the Milanese, notwithstanding the annexation, desire to have allag distinct from the Piedniontese. The absence of all tidings ofGaribaldi’s forces cause some surprise. The French Government had presented to the King of Sardinia the greater por- tion of their floating batteries which were intended to be used at the siege of Aus- trian fortresses. The Paris correspondent ofthe London Times gives a report that the treaty of peace contains a clause preventing any in- tervention in Italy in future, either on the part of Austria or France. A letter from Rome sa 5 that French troops were to be sent to timini with an order to prevent any revolutionary move- ment. FRANCE. On the let, the Emperor received the diplomatic corps. The Papal Nuucio, speaking in the name of the corps, offered the Emprror his earnest congratulations on his happy return and on his resolution to conclude peace.

UNHEAL DISEASES AND QUACK SPECIFICS. In one of the large cities of the Austrian Empire, an eminent pliy» sieian whose name we forget, dcâ€" fermined, if possible, to discover how far the force of imagination would go. For this purpose, he took a criminal who was con- demned to die for some capital of- fence, and had him brought into a room, and bound down on a bed, from which some poor \vrclcli [he said] had just died of that dreadful pestilence, the cholera. \li’itliin u very short time the criminal be- came unwell, and began to show every syi'i’iptom of having caught that incurable disease. Indeed there could be no doubt of it; the poor man had got the cholera in its most malignant form, and it was with difficulty that he. was re- stored to life. But the most wonâ€" derful part of the business has yet to be told. The. house had never been visited by the scourge, and the bed on which the deluded one laid was perfectly clein no one ever having slept tliercoi’i. I’Ve think this case is somewhat sugâ€" gestive. We have recently in this Province suffered from defective harvests, and previous mad specu- lation, which has put us somewhat out of humor with ourselves, caus- ing us to look (itevcrvthing through the “- Devil Discordan’s 7’ inverted telescope; or in other words, we have taken too gloomy a View of our present state and future pros- pects, whilst we have encouraged the Dei’nagoguc to befool in: as to the nature ofour evils, and the ways by which we were to rid ourselvbs of them. For the past fcwycai's we have been told that we were in a galloping consuii’iption, f 101‘ which there was only one 1‘cmcdy,wliieh was to swallow an incredible num~ ber of Globular Pills. Niiiiiici‘ous have been the “l‘ad~ ing articles” written to prove that we were fast becoming bankrupt, both in purse and character. Our public men have all, without ex- ception, [save the Globe and IIIS minions] been consummate scorin- drels, more particularly Lo ,BdS Canada; and unless a change speedily arrived, Booby so-andâ€"so was to get up an awful tempest in a teapot, and drive the whole crew to purgatory a least, while some were for sending them to a hotter place still, from the Governor Geneâ€" ral downwards. Like those eccen- tric pliei’iomenon, the Cliartists in father-land, who when the potatoes were blighted, laid it all down to the fact that the Government Would not give them the six points of the Charter. And many Were the silly fools who took all this insane bald- erdash in as gospel truth; for we believe it to be true the world over, that times of pressure are just the times when unprinciplcd men gain the most power. We would, how- ever, put it honestly before our money we are aware has been laid out, but even “faithful correspond- ents” will not dare to assert but that the cost of these works is as nothing in comparison to the bone- l’its we derive from them. But we are in debt, true lâ€"and so is 311g- land; and Macaulay says: “That at every fresh item added to her debt, men set up a howl of despair, and utter ruin was sure to follow." But in spite of all forebodings, her wealth and prosperity continued to increase, to the disgust, we doubt not, of these prognosticatoi‘s of evil. And I‘ClllCllll)Cl' we have this dilli‘rcnce in our favor, that our money has not been spent on powder and shot, but on useful and necessary public works. It will yet also be seen, that instead of beâ€" ing in a galloping consiiii'iiption, the lute hard times are only the re- sult oftoo rapid growth; for Willi care in the future, we shall be all the better ()II for the check we have received, only we must take care and not frighten ourselves out of our sei’iscs at, the croaking of our Quack Doctors ; for a hundred chances to one they want to make. the evil appear serious, only to line their own pockets, which at present are very bore; and the worst of it is, the prospect of their becoming State Physicians indefinitely postponed, as it is only too e . idcni that all they care for is “ the loaves and fishes.” We have thus seen that our ills have been exaggerated.

He has been glad ere now to find in her bosom a homo. Let him beware how he attempts to play the viper’s part. Britain’s Queen reigned when he was a wandering exile, and Every throne in Europe was shaken; and Louis’ throne is not so firmly fixed but that a mine may spring up from bcu ‘tllll him, Louis Philâ€" lippo was apparently much more firirily seated in his throne than is Napoleon, within a few hours of his flight and abdication; and it is quite within the range of probabi- lities, that the French ,l‘lii’ipci'or may yet again be an exile. We have soon more wonderful things happen in this chaiigcliil world. For more lengthened remarks on the p'uco, we refer our vendors to the remarks made by the Norwich Jifcrrm‘y, England, and the Edinburgh A'eurs, Scotland. It. will be there soon that Italy fools herself betrayed by him who professed to make war to liberate her. \Ve hope that now bleeding Italy and Hungary will learn to help tliciiisclvr’m, and never again sullitr tlioiiisclves to be be- trayed by such a Judas. _- am» e 4W” proposed, prciiiisiiig however that it is ii’iipossible for any one who I’lllslllltltil‘SlEtlltlS the disease, to find out a, reii’icdy. We once heard of a celebrated London doctor, who to his gentch unailing patients [but who conceived themselves to be. dreadful bad] invariably cured them by giving them “brown bread” pills. We suppose that it is on some similar principle our Clear Grit Qiiiacks work; hence the cries of Dissolution and written constitu- lions. Pray, are these the cures for defective harvests or mad SPCâ€" culation? or will these things ever rid us of corrupt politicians? We fear not. Look at the neighboring states; they have a written constiâ€" tution ; and yet in spite of this, the Globe could thank God a twelve month since, “that bad as is our Executive in Canada, we have not yet, 1‘ inched the low level their tll- rained.” A lig for such doctors, who because a man has it cold, seriously assure him that the only rail/col cure for such a (li' odfulcold is for him to cut oil his head.
