The last Gazette has an article in which it attempts to wriggle out of the falsehood which we proved upon it, in quoting from the N. Y. Tribune. That paper admits that it dropped 4ht quotation marks, showing that it was not original in that paper, and that the Gazette • was therefore guiity of forgery, or libel, or ..both. Tho Gaze (to is also guilty of another forgery ia its atticle of last week, in quoting from the Tribune as follows: "A considerable part of the white population were petit blancs, so called, little whites, the 'poor white trash' of Our Southern States, without, education or prop erty." The sentence correctly taken from tbe Tribaue is as follows: "A considerable part of -the white population were petit UancS, 90 cal led, little whites, tbe same with the 'poor white trasb' of our Southern States, without education or property." This is exclusively in reference to tho whites on the island of LUyti, and bas no rcfercoce whatever to the laboring classes in this country. By compar ing the above quotations, it will be seen that the fellow who conJoots the Gazette has left out lb# words,"/As same withy' entirely chang ing the sentence, aud giving it another mean ing from that ißtehded by the Tribune. Ho brazenly proclaimed to the world a few weeks ago that honesty would not pay, and as soon as he. is detected in one forgery, he resorts to another ! He also lugs in in his reply the lies of that scoundrel, U. Bucher Swoope, which every rbody knows to be false, and which H.

Beef Heels also trye to get over publishing iu Lis paper that "/wi esty is the best of policy , BUT IT KEEPS A MAN POOR !" by extracting two or three ironi cal quotations from our first page, published long ago, from a number of others in tho !.r3tales; and that the whole horde, under the supreme command of the aforesaid Greeley, would invade Mexico and usurp the govern ment ot that Republic. A copy of this paper tell into the hands of the commander, at Ma- Zallan, and be at oucc issued a proclamation informing the people that ;. The aeronauts of the recent grand trip have got into newspaper quarrel. Mr. John Li i Mountain having utterly failed iu his attempt to keep all the credit of the affair to himself, uow publishes in the N. Y. Tribune a statement, throwing opon Mr. Wise the blame of the fail ure to reach New York. He even denies that Wise was a partner in the enterprise, saying that he was merely a passenger by invitation. This Mr. Gager, the original projetor and cap italist of the undertaking, authorizes the Tri bune to cohtradiet editorially, saying that Mr. Wtso owned one-fourth of the balloon, which was all Lamountain owned. Mr. G .ger, who furnished the most of the capital, owned half, and yet Lamountain says: "I go to Watertowu to-day for the wreck of'my' balloon," thus ig noring Gager altogether, as well as Wise, it seems to be settled by the controversy that while Wise, knowing all about the coldness of the upper current, had clothed himself Very thickly, Laiuouutatn took no suelt precautious and heuce was .so cold aud shivering that the balloon wa lowered into a warmer region. Lancaster Union. THREATENING ASPECT OF OCR AFFAIRS WITH MEXICO —The editor of the New Orleans Picayune has been favored with a private letter to one of his moat respected feiiow citizens, which seems to porteud a speedy rupture with Mexico. Tbe letter was written on the 3d inst., at MinatitlaD, Tehuantepec, where the U. S. Minister, Mr. McLane, was then paying a visit to the U. S. consul, Mr. Allen, and conveys the intelligence that our minister had fai'ed to oouie to any pioper and creditable arrangement with the Juarez government, as ho had failed to Obtain just satisfaction from that of Mira- IUOD: that he felt uneasy in lus position, and considered any further attempt at a peaceful solution of the Mexican question useless; that in this sense he bad plainly written home to bis government, as also he had notified the govern ment of Juarcs that if they do not come at once to an understanding with the 11. S. f a re sort must be had to arms; and finally, to sum op all, that as no proper response was expected, war between the two countries was inevitable. ELECTION OF MAJOR GENERAL,—It affords os pleasure to aunounoe that the commissioned officers of the Dauphin, Lebanon and Berks bri gades voted unanimously for Gen. Wm. H. Keim, for Major General of the fifth division, and that be has been re-chosen to th position he has so long worthily filled, without a dissenting voice iu the entire Division. When it is recollected that Gen. Keiru is a candidate for an important political office on the People's Ticket, bi9 /- animous re-election to his former military posi tion, as above stated, must be regarded as a great compliment and shows the high apprecia tion in wbioh he is held by tho military of the three counties composiog the Division. It is a'so, under the circumstances, especially ored itable to tho commissioned officers, composed as tiey are of leadiog politicians representing the vsrious political partieß in tbe counties carnod. -liar.

THE WAR. ARMISTICE HETWEEX FRAXCE AID AISTRI4. 00 tbe 7Mi inst., the Emperor of the French telegraphed to the Empress that an armistice bad been coceludod between the Emperor of Austria aud himself, and that Commissioners had been appointed to settle the clause ana du ration of the armistice. The Paris Monitrur, in publishing the offi cial dispatch, appends the following remarks; •'lt is necessary that the publio should not misunderstand the extent of the armistice. It is liu-itod merely to a relaxation of hostilities between the beligeretit armies, which, though leaving the field open for negotiations, docs not enable us, for the present, to seo how 'be war utay be terminated." The armistice had given rise to a variety of speculation* in the Engli-h papers. 1 he London I imes believe* iu peace, and re marks that "Before the truce ba, ended the French ar my will be refreshed aud re-enforced. A fleet of gunboats will bo ready for launching upon tbe lake that surrounds Mantua, and a great ar my will be teudy to niako its descent upon the shores of Northern Italy. Broken and dispir ited as Austria now is, she is yet better able to fight at fbis moment than she will be at any fu ture time. We believe, therefore, in peace," aod we believe that the path to peace will be made smooth to her, for the Emperor has won the ad vantage which for the moment be proposes to himself. If this war between France aud Aus tria is ended, France comes tremendous in pow er out of the conflict, atid Austria and Europe will look on with still increasing ioterests, much meditatiug upon the future, while she rests up on her arms." Ihe London Post inclines to think that the proposition for uu armistice came from the modi erafion of the Emperor of the French, and is of opiuion that Austria will consent to sacri fice her Italian Bway, and thus end the war- The London Daily AetCs says it would be interesting to know whether the propositions for an armistice came from Austria or a third Pow er, for no one will suppose that it was made by France. By whomsoever made, it can have been accepted only for the purpose of giving scope to negotiations. 1 he London Globe interprets the armistice as a prelude to peace. THE LATEST. PARIS. July 9.—The Moniteur of to-day con tains the followiog: "Ilio Armistice was signed at Viilafrauca on the Btn inst., between Marshal Vaillani and Baron lless. Its term is fixed for the 15th of August. It stipulates that commercial vessels without distinction of flag shall be allowed to uavigate the Adriatic unmolested." THE LATEST KEW&. Most Important from Europe. TREATY OF PEACE CONCLUDED. FARTHER POINT, below Quebec, July 14. The steamship North Briton, from Liverpool mo the 13th insf., and hound for Quebec, has been intercepted <>ff this point, and a most import ant budget of news obtained. A Treaty of Peace between Austria and h ranee and Sardinia had already been conclu ded. The provisions of this treaty are, briefly, as follows: Au Italian Confederation is to be formed, under the honorary Presidency of the Pope of Rome. e Austria concedes Lombardy to France. Napoleon, tn turn, grants these possessions to Sardinia. Austria retains Ler right of rule over Ve oicc. The stemier left Liverpool before the effect of this n-ws had time to he developed. The Paris Moniteur explains the circum stances attending the armistice. It says the great n utral Powers had exchanged communi cations with the helligcreut powers, offering plans for a mediation, but were unsuccessful in their efforts, uutil the French fleet was about to commence hostilities agaiDst Veuice, and a conflict before Verona was imminent. When Napoleon, anxious to prevent further blood shed, ascertained the disposition of the Euipe ror of Austria, ami finding him wiilmg, the armistice wis concluded. The two Emperors had an interview on tbe 11th iost., at Villa Franca. THE ARMISTICE. A despatch trom Turin says Napoleon bad issund a bulletin from Vallegio announcing tbe armistice, cxngiatulatiug the troops on their glorious achievements, and unnounoiug his im mediate departure for Paris, leaving tbe pro visional command of the army to Marshal Vail lant. The London Times claims that England brought about the armistice, • Other authorities give the credit to Prussia. A Verona telegram says the armistice was con cluded only after repeated requests fsom the Freuob, and after Austria had obtained all she bad asked for. It was reported that Kossuth was to propose a monarchical government for Huogary. The following is the explanation given by the Paris Mouiteur of tbe circumstances at tending tho armistice belweea France and Aus* tria: "Tbe great neutral Powers exohanged com muntoatiuu, with the object of offeting tbe'j mediation to the belligerents, whoso first act was to be an armistice; but tbe endeavor to bring a.jut tqia result was not successful until SOWQ r days ago, when the French fleet was about to begin hostilities against Venice, and a new conflict before Verona was immiuent.— Tho Emperor of France, faithful to his senti ments ot moderation, and anxious to prevent tbe useless effusion of blood, did not hesitate to assure himself whether tbe disposition of the Emperor of Austria was conformable to his own. It was a saored duty for the two Em perors uuuier[i,tely to suspend hostilities,which mediation could render objectless. The Em peror of Austria, having shown similar inten tions, tbe armistioe Was concluded." At the interview between the two Emperors, at Villa FraDoa, the Emperor of Austria was accompanied by Generals Hess and Dratume, Kclloer, Koliouoten, iteming, Scbitter, and others of uis stsff. TUJUN, July ll.—An official bulletin pub lishes the text ot the armistice. Besides the articles alrciiUy known, it is Stated that the belligerent armies will keep the positions the. now occupy. The railway to Verona, Pe*, b io r, aud Mautna, may, during the armistice b used to carry provisioo to those fortresses. ' Peschiera and Mantua are being provisioned and the provisioning of Verona will h 0 com pleted in two days. The works offensive i D( I defensive of Pescbiera are to remain in thei. present state. The convention is signed by Marshal Vail, lant and Generals Martin Fret, Oolla Roeri iless, and Murdorf. ' The Emperor Napoleon has issued the fo'- lowing order of the day; "Vallegio, July 10," 1859 —Soldiers!

NAPOLEON. ihe V icrma Gazette says of the armistice! that an autegraph tetter addressed by the Ktn peior Napoleon to the Emperor of Austria id to the negotiations, the result of which was a five weeks' armistice. Count favour had again left Turin for the headquarters of the allied anuies. I he gunboats destined for the bombardment of Peaobiera have been launched on tbe Liks de Garda. The Times' Paris correspondent says tL& tbe typhus fever raged in both the camp, i„ Italy, and that ten to eleven thousand were at tacked with it in the allied army. It was said that Napoleon's plan for revolu tionizing Hungary and Transylvania was dis approved of by liussia. A Trieste telegram says that the Austrian war steamer Uurlutoue, backed by the garrison of the fortress, sustained a successful crmtest on the 7th, in the channel of the Zara, with tbe French frigate Impetuse. The French squadron was sailing, on the Bth towaid Pola. IEIESTE, July 11.— Fourteen war steamers were at Lussine yesterday. THE PEACE DESPATCH FROM NA POLEON TO THE EMPRESS. The following is a copy of the telegram from Napoleon to thß Empress Eugenie, announcing that peace had been concluded upon: VALLEGIO, July 11. "A treaty of peace has been signed between the Emperor of Austria and myself, on the fol lowing basis: "The Italian Confederacy is to tie under the honorary Presidency of the Pope. "The Emperor of Austria concedes bis rights in Lombardy to the Emperor of tiie French, who transfers thein to the King of Sardinia. "The Emperor of Austria reserves Venice, but she wilt form an integral part of the Ital ian Confederation. NAPOLEON. EFFECT OF THE AT PARIS. 1 ho despatch of the announcing the conclusion of peace was bulletined in Par is cu the 12th, when the French funds immedi ately rose two and a half per cent. EFFECT OF THE NEWS LV LONDON. The news did not transpire in Loudon utl after the official closing hour of console, sales of which were made afterwards at 984 —the rise during the day being seven eighths. Ait othet^ securities closed buoyant. The Brandon Daily News says: "The first hopes and expectations of Italy ate deceived. History will call Napoleon to strict account for buviug made war on false pre tences, and signed a mock and selfish peace, that leaves Austria impregnably fortified iathe heart of Northern Italy, and commits the cen tre of Daly to the patronage of* the Pope.— The closer we examine this pretended pacifica tion, the more futile iniquitous it ap* appears." The Daily News' city article of Tuesday evening says that the funds, on Tuesday, open ed quiet, *nd business remained stagnant, un til about two o'clock, wben consols were quo ted i per cent lower than on Monday. Influ ential buyers, who are believed to act on good foreign information, then came forward, aDd by three o'clock, a rise of i per ceift'hsfl taken place; between three aod four, and at a still later hour, increased buoyancy prevailed, ow ing to tbe telegrams irorn Paris announcing cn official declaration of peace, and an advance of 2 per ceut iu tho rentes. Consols finally left ufl at f per cent, higher than on Monday, and I per ceut. above tbe lowest point of tbe day. 'l'bfl other classes of securt'y responded in tbe afternoon to the buoyancy of the funds, in the discount market, on Tuesday, the supply cfmouey was plentiful, and tbe best bills were taken at 2i per cent. The peace is expected to stimulate commercial enterprise, and lead, to a higher value of uioDey. Tbe Morning Post contends that tbe soul of tbe treaty agreed upon is the nationality guar antied under every variety of local government in a coufederatiou of the Italian States. The Emperor of Austria is Jo be king of Venitia, solely as a member of tbe confederation: be will rule less than three million Italians, and will ba controlled by a confederation ruling not less than twenty-six millions. The Pope is shorn virtually of his temporal supremacy; ha is deprived of the substance, but keeps th shadow. The Times says that "Venice must hope that her independence will not baa mere name, and that the influence of France aud Austria united will not be more unbearable than that of Austria singly. The Romans must hope that the Italian Confederation, under the houc rary presidency of the Pope, will be nothing like any Government they have hitherto known. The Papal States are left as they were, with a master somewhat greater tbau before; he is Honorary President of the ltaliau Confedera tion, and General Goyoo holds the sword at bis sidj>. The King of Naples is made a mem ber of tbe Confederation, and baa to learn the worth of that honor and its import. Europw has to welcome a now Power. "England has nothing to do bat to look on. Austria is somewhat humbled, but relieved of a difficulty. Sardinia is aggrandised with a proviooe that mistrusts her, and a neighbor that has earned uu imperishable and inexhaus tible olaiin to her gratitude." Tuu Morning Post contends that tbe Pope is deprived of his substance, but keeps a shadow ot supremacy.
