The Prince only returned from Verona early on the 12¢n, and it was on the 23th that the army learned, by the proclamation of the Emperor, that the preliminarice of peace bad been signed. Up to that moment the army had only been able to make conjectures, It was at about half past one in the afteraoon of the 12th thar the great pews became known at Paris. A Paris correspondent ot the Indépendance Belge nays ho ia assured that ove of the last things uttered in the now celebrated interview at Villafranca was @ promise made by the Eimperor of Austria to pags some days next winter at he Tuileries. The Price of Peace. {Tranelated from the Paris Pays, July 21, forthe New Yorx Berap The joy of triumph being alittle calmed, the first and most natural question to be investigated is whether peace is worth what it cost. Three great and general results answer that question. Peace will for the first time have con- stituted under the federative form an Italian auto- nomy, assiduously fsought in vainby France since the days of Henry IV. Peace will have founded on our frontier of the Alps a beautiful and permanent Italian kingdom, rich, well populated, having military experience, which owes its existence to French generosity, and already allied to our Imperial house. Finally, peace will have resolved, in a dofiuite and admirable manuer, the difficult and delicate question of the temporal power of the Papacy, by placing the Holy Father, considered as a sovereign, atthe head and under the guarantee of the Italian moa aitiins ago sucn romavy « yeaa uy, looked upon as marvellous. They are, the work of peace, and constitute its fundamenta conditions. The treaties of 1815, which have been made to operate against France, have opened our frontiers on all sides, so as__ to render an inyasion easier ‘to the Holy Alliance. Austria already, by the acquisition of Venice stronger in Italy than before 1759, hia be sides become the sovereign of the Peninsula through private treaties. If Piedmont had been reduced to obedience, like the other Italian States, Austria would have bordered our frontiers of the Alps with her dominion and her soldiers. Such a danger was so manifest that a national overnment could not allow it to pass without tak- ing notice of it. The problem to be solved was, however, alarming in its proportions. An inde- pendent nation was to be organized between the Cottian Alps and the Tyrol; thatis to say, Austria was to be ‘5 Bigemil and Italian nationality was to be founded. fy This problem has been solved by a campaign of two months, three fights and two battles. Italy is free, free to the Adriatic, for if the Emperor of Aus- tria preserves Venice and its territory, he only keeps it as an Italian prince, submitted to the de- liberations of the Italian Diet. ‘Thus the Austrian frontier, which was at the Ti- cino, is removed to the passes of the Tyrol, and France has full security on the side of the Alps, where she has placed between her and Austria a saat Confederation which owes its existence to her. The importance to be given to Piedmont was evidently to have in view both the convenience of the Italian Confederation and that of France. ‘The Emperor had justly said: “Italy is to change her condition and not her maste: She could only be independent on the condition of being federa- tive; and if Piedmont was to become an important, even the most important meniber of the Confede- ration, that Power was not to become the absolute ruler. The addition of Lombardy to Piedmont makes the Sardinien States the richest and the most popu lous of Italy. The States of Naples have Liked millions of inhabitants; with the addition of Lom- rdy, Piedmont will have more than seven mil- lions. Ag to the richness of Lombardy, it is far be- nd that of any other country. ‘The SB of the Duchies remain to be regu- lated. ‘It is not said that Piedmont will not have a good share of them. The advice of those popula- tions will certainly be taken, and the sovereigns of those small States have epealy not governed them so well 12 they could not be dispensed with. Thus, when Italy bec2me independent and a con- stituted kingdom’ of our froitter of the Alps, the interest of France became satisfied and her pro- ramme was fulfilled. Certainly, if Austria fed resisted the Italian} Confederation it would lave become necessary to chase her armies from Venetia and to take Venice; bu: Italian indepen- dence once granted, the conquest or fhe State of Venice was no more an object, and was nov "orth the blood of one of our soldiers. ith his exalted wisdom and his admirable good sense, the epee therefore, stopped as soon as the object of the war was attained. correspoudence cy {Verona uly 11), ‘a fortnight ago t."° Frnt let The question of the Papacy was by far the A iittle morsiria met on the battle fin." 7 "FN. | delicate and difficult.

Until now the Pope was an isolated sovereign defending himself. Now he forms part of a federa- tion of sovereign States, from which it is impossi- ble to separate him, and he is protected by the fe- deral force. : Placed as a sovereign at the head of that fede ration, the Pope not only acquires a peaarst le power—he associates yet to the maintenance of his olitical power all the Italian nationality, of which Fe becomes the soul and the honor. it can be perceived and said: an ideal solution of the questions implicated in the war of Italy could not have had more. precison, more efficacy or more measure. Arms have done more than imagi- tion could have dreamed of. Never has blood been shed in battle for greater or more precious results, and never has a captain and soldiers achieved a more durable or purer glory.

The African Slave tion as Viewed in Eng- dand. [From the London News, July 12 ] When the time approaches, each’ year, for voting the sum demanded for the support of our cruisers on the African coset, it becomes interesting to know what really is doing there, and what the proepecta of the slavo trade really ere. Instead of the eubject becoming tame a: trite, it hos of late years become highly critical, and the interest is Likely to be kept up this vear by a changing policy on the part of an ally as significant and important ‘as the disguised glave trade to the Freach colonies which has receptty been go ditastrous to the best intercsis of Africa, The French policy, however, was altogether discouraging; whereas tbe new course entered upon bd American government operates the other way. ‘é’ bave no enthusiasm to expresa on the occasion. We sec no great virtue in whet is doing; aod any strong sympathy is out of the question;~but, as @ matter of fact, the American government is setting to work, with obvieus and intelligible sincerity of pur- pore, to stop the glave trade; and, as the protraction or extinction of the sieve trade depends on the American government, under the circumstances of the present time, the fact is of bigh importance, whatever emotions may oF may not belong to it. We need scarcely repeat that the power rests with the government at Washington, because avowed slavery exists only in the United States and Cuba; and Cuba alone covid not keep up the trade if Spain were called to account and ber coasts watched by all the othor Parties to the treaties against the slave trade. Tt 1 of ‘tance, not only that it ebould be under- stood iu this country that the American government bas altered tts course in regard to ite duties on the coazta of Africa and of the Gulf, but that the reasons of the change should be apprehended with some distinctness, as they must involve further changes of great joterest to the countries of Europe. Aod ain, {% is eceseary that tho allies of tho scbipgton government shoud understand the facts of tue cage, because the aspcot of affairs ia America is yory mete, At this moment there are many peoplo ia suppece tbo atruggla agains! the slave trade to be lees hopeful than ever, because tere bi Feoeatyy beep, not only demands from parties in several of tho Soutbern States of the Union for the reopening of tho trade, but successful attempts to import native Africans— courts and juries rofesing to enforce the Inws against the importers, We ought to underatand what the circum. etancee aro which, in the midst of sucha state of affairs, mske the extizclion of tbe slave trade more hopeful thaa it was when every American citizen professed to be proud of the lawa which proscribed the trafllc before tho laws of acy oiher Country did so According to the highest Americen sutboritice,tben, the caso is this. Toe slaveholding interest of the United States has been, since tbe abolition of the alave trace in 1808, a monopoly, to which the bolders buve clung with more aod more energy as their fortunes declined, as is the way with mo- nopolists geverally. Amthe value of individual negroos rose, the owners suppored themselves to be growing rich: er, except from some unaccountable influences which somebow soude them continually poorer. We all know how it {s their wont to revile the flourisbing tree States, by whcse capital alone tbe industry and arts of life are kept go'ng at el! inthe slave States. Daring the half ceniuiy of monopoly im slaves, the soil on which they “worked bas" detertorated. the old estates on which they lived have sunk into ruin; and (what is more 10 our present purpore) the famitics of the citizers have, in large Proportion, declined in station, Kcaving only tke small clas of existing slayeholdera to coraiitute the aristocracy which was formerly determined by rsce. The slaveholaerg censtituted thres tenths of ihe white popwietion of the slave States at tho date of the Jaat cevrur: and they will next year be found to be still fewer, The other seven-ten\hs roust sooner or la'er grow impatiext vnder a state of affsira in which tuoy find thom- Selves sunk from the poeition held by their fa'nera, poor, derpiced, and degraded to the level of the negroes bg tho ueceretty of working if they would not starve. Late years bars been favorable to tho ripening of that imsa iience. After along series of awakening incidents, (vo grcat shocks came to rouge them into what thelr aristoera. Uc neighbors cail “rebellion.” ‘The Kunsas struggle, in which thay were sent to bear their part as the military champions of the South—to be “food for powder” in tiie stead of the elave owners—dis- clored to some of them the virtues and privileges of frea Inbor, and proved to many more the fact of their own degradation below the level of all other white men in the Union. The other incident was probably a cougequeace Of that set of discoveries. Oce of their class, Mr. Helper, of North Carolina, issued bis weil known book, in waict the wrongs of his claas are exposed, nn: dietiactly traced to the gvershacowing monopoly under which thoy live. ‘Teo efforis on the other hend to suppress the book and its writer, and on the one to carry his siatewents into every dwellitg in the Union, have been a token to observers of the consciousness of bota slavehoiders and absiltion- iets of the criticnl character of the work and of the time in which it appeared, At first it was eupposed that the oppreherced “rebellion”? would take place through the ballot toxes, and probably 1¢ will at the next election, when bundieds of thougends of citizens will yolo who never vote before; bat, meantime, anolacr coarse bhaq been adopted whieh more nesrly conceras ue 42d OUT pay- ment for the African serv: Hitherto, and ern, ©. y einec #5 entrance of M.

The newspapers of New York and Boston have long abounded jo vain with complaints and exposures of this abuse of a national engagement. Recently, eucdenly, and without apparent connection with auch remonstrances, the Washington government has made a grent stir about the inefficiency of the watch kept by American vessels on the coast of Africa; has recalled the big ship, and sent smaller; and ordered that the whole existing force of gunboats ehall be sent (while more are building) to guard the shallows and creoks of the Africa thores and alo those of the Gulf. Whence this change? Why, the poor whites of tho tlave States have learned, partly by accident and partly by research, tl ‘obtain Isbor more cheaply than their aristocratic neighbors bad allowed them to eup- poe. The mono; of pegroes hayo raised the value of home bred slaves to an average of $1,000 ahead, The slave tracer can supply them age te |, after all losses, gaining $150 by the bargain. This discovery once wade, the poor whites are now trying the uso of their political powers in getting tho laws ogainst tho slave trade repealed. The slaveholiers dread nothing 40 much as the invasion of their mo- nopoly. Their capital exists in that form or nowhere; their Tina is injured past retrieval, except by free labor; if their existing slaves sink to one-third of their present value, with the Greed that the next generation will bo van only balf that, sil will be over with the aristocracy 0 the South. Their first object, therefore, is to get the laws ageinet tho slave ie enforced, and as “misery makes us acquainted with strange bed fellows,’ thoso slaveholders, who have put forth their whole force to extend the principles and institutions of slavery over the entire republic, now find themselves ‘king with the anti-slavery party to control Mr. Buchanan's policy during the remainder of his term, and to secure the election of successor who shail be pledged, in the first place, to force the ‘sions of the constitution against the slavo trade.

Joun Russet, said that his predecessor, Lord Malmesbury, had, in two communications, declined inter- fering cn the question of territorial right, and be thoaght his lordship hed parsued a proper courge in making the refusal. it there was another question, which referred. tothe blockade That blockade wos irregular, and the eubject sbouid recelye due aitention from governmint, Mr. GERSTENDERG reminded his lordship that the memo- risliate claimed territory which wos not diapated, but which wat nevertholess ‘affected by the bioczade. ‘Lord Malmesbury had given an answer to the effect that if British subjecis took land on certain terms, it was at their own risk; on a eecond representation being made to his pera bis reply was that he eaw no sufficient ground to fere. Lord Jony Rvssx11 said he concurred in both replies. In order to defend ao we should bo obliged ia the first place to refer to Peru, and that goveromrat might dispute the whole of the territory as well as the two east- ern aseiguments. In that case we should be involved im a dispute with Peru. Mr. Ganstannenc said that the general interests of South American bondtolders, two of the committee of whom were present, were involved in the quettion. An advan- tageous contract bad been made by British tradere—a contract which was indirectly beneftcial to the Britist na- tion. Englighmen had been tempted to go out and culti- vate lands under the belief that tno Britisn flag would pro- tect them. A piratical — bad been made on our possessions, and redress could not be obtained through the British government. He alluded to the cate of a ves- sel, the Maria e Julia, which had ontored the port of Puna with the mate sick. She was ordered to put to sea immediately. The captain represented the impossibility of obeying this order, as he would not ba ab‘e to Davigaie his sbip, which was short handed. Tho ycesol was there- upon geized by the Peruvisn avuhorities. The govern. ment of Great Britain being invoxed, took some step, which led to pothing. The British ropreseotative was Written to, but whatever bis ins:ructions werethey did no} lead bim to assist in relomsing the ship. It was ulti. mately, by the interference of the Spanish goverament, that she was liberated. Tac memorialists had, Mr. Gers- tenberg said, received invariable politences, the kindest words, the most agreeable promises from the government of Great Britain, but to no effect whatever. British bation was commercizily interested in the matter. The collect'on and cultivation of the ciuchona pisnt, which produces quinine, was one of the objecte of the colonists. ‘The plant wag threatened with extinction, and is value had increosed year by year. The East India government ‘one bad paid last year £36,000 for this plant.
