The London correspondent of the Charleston Mercury writes as follows as to the state of feeling in Kngland with regard to the continunncc of Pence. The feeling lioro is that the penco will he of short duration, and that Austria has been let off CBRily, like Russia, that aho may hecomc nn ally and stand aloof, while Jfapoleon settles accounts with l'rursia on the Rhine ; they may be balanced hv the transfer to France of the Rhine Provinces ; less than 80,000 men will, perhaps, win them.

The Literary attainments of Dr. Logan, and the zeal and energv with which he has devoted himself to this | work, cannot fail to make it a very valuable contribution to the literature of our State, and of peculiar interest. The following flattering notice of the work, we fiud in the Columbus, (Ga.,) Sun: The Columbus (Oa ) Sun says: Di. John II. ] Logan, of Abbeville District, S.

Austria the just, aee.om pi foiled peace. It is a document which repuires frequent re-per u*nl, nii'l which invites unceasing conjecture. 1'lie principal aim of the war was, it, seem*, to render Italy a nation, ami thfopriiicipal aim, it nfooseems, lianbeen obtained. "It. istrue/'pays Napoleon III. (illustrating the proverb, "Qui h' not follow the Emperor in this explanation. That Venice will remain Italian we can cl? arly eeo ; we should have more difficulty in understanding how it could become Bohemian or Hungarian ; but how this fact renders its possession l?v Austria of less importance we cannot prctAd to explain. It is one of those logical sequence's which none but an Emperor at. the hftml of many letrions can enounce with [ Ifeet.. To the eve nf common iittiloi-utntnlimr litis possesion of Vendia by Austria would <01:111 to give Austria a ritrlit. which she never before bad to intermeddle in the polities of nil ltnly. Austria, a great military monarchy, is, l?y this possesion, a incmlicr of a confederacy which is made up of Austria and it few insignificant ami unwarlike States. In this confederacy who will obey? Austria is right in boasting that it matters not what may l?c the fortune of her arms; for, beaten or victorious, she always gains the prize 111 the contest- That which was limited is now become universal ; that which was an encroachment is now become a right. We have nothing to say when 1 lie French army is told that the union of Lombard y and Piedmont creates for France a powerful ally. It is undoubtedly true, Itut France has bought this alliance at a frightful cost, and the independence of Lombardy is not that independence for which ihe Lombards sighed. It is notoriously very difficult to pet lit the meaning of Louis Napoleon, lie is the great modern Sphynx, nn-1 his very existence, depends upon his not being found out. l$ut, of all the riddles he has pro|>osed lo Europe, none is more puzzling and intricate than this Treaty of Yillafranca, the sense of which we have attempted to read in the description he has himself given. It is usual when we doubt ns to the authorship of an net to ask?for whose benefit was it done ? Hero, however, we ask this question in vain. The treasure is spent and the blood is shed, the war is ended, and the pence is made, but no one, so far ns we can see, is the better for the light. {Sardinia is not ipiite happy in her new possessions, and even Victor Emanuel will find in Lomhardy n poor substitute for the enthusiastic affection of an Italy. France has pained no accession lo her territory, and no friendship from the oppressed populations of the earth. She has gained nothing but the knowledge that her Emperor is ubie to manoeuvre an army, fclic has not, even lit this moment, the conviction that his sparing Austria was an net of unmixed generosity. The Emperor now says lliat he sta)cd his hand under an npprehonsion that the strupple was likely to assume larger proportions than he desired. It i6 not a very chivalrous reason to give nil army which had jnat fought a campaign and lost thousands ot its comrades for no result which any one of them would have desired. I'licse soldiers want work, and glory, and promotion. To tell them lie made pence for fear the war would spre&d, could only he to set them guessing who it was who had staved theni in their full march of conquest. It was not England. Was it Prussia? It is not very proLablc, unless this pause in fighting should he rather a diversion than a cessation. Was il Russia i Did Kuesia think Austria had been beaten enough? Was Russia actiug all tho time as the surgeon, with his finger upon the pulse of tho patient, and did she give the signal to cease when that eymntom of Hungarian fever developed itself? All or any of these reasons may huve operated. Or the Emperor Napoleon might have known the state of his own arms host. There is, indeed, a last supposition! which we offer to the consideration Df those who were not long ago so fiercely scolding us because wc doubted that Napoleon was about to eet up a free Constitutional Govem men tin Italy; perhaps the French Emperor has imposed some secrct obligation upon Austria never again to interfore in the affairs uf Italy. If this should be so. then all is right, fhe Pope and the Grand Dukes are put ur. in ?..:.i? ..< 1- ?* ,< .viv ui piuvc niKiviy iu give itapoieoti 8 greni principle?"the sovereignty of tlie pcolpe"?a :lear Kittiro.

There is no limit to human iredulity, nnd there may he credulous idolators >f Chaos, who, even nt this thirteenth hour, nay believe in such impossibilities us these. L'he same tuen of tlio age, however, know bet.cr. They recognize in this new settlement milling but an universal nnd irresistible deslotism. Wo yesterday announced that Cavour lisgustcd by the disappointment of all hopes, tad thrown up his employment. The des latch of to-day confirms our previous infornation, and announces that the King of SarJinia has acceptud Count Cnvour's resignation, ind has replaced liiui by Count Arese. This :vent determines the nature of the pence. Cav>ur was au earnest man. lie believed iu Italian independence as a future work of Napoleon III. It W4s by menus of the confidence ne felt himself and inspired in others that Maz tini anil Ins emissaries were discredited throughout Italy. It was Cavour who gave the iignal for the successive risings in the smaller Italian Htntes. It was by means of his influence that the revolutions at Florence, Parma ind Modena were bloodless, and that Home rc iiinined tranquil. Cavour believed in a Conjtilutional Iinlinn Unity, and unfortunately he believed that the Emperor Napoleon entertained the same views as himsell. Warnings were throwu away upon him. Patriots and young ladies have a faith in men's promises which no expositions can shake, and which nothing but bitter personal experience can des troy. Poor favour 1 llo once had a great oareer beforo him, for he was honest and zealuus; bnt he was credulous and impatient, and he became the tool of crafty selfishness. History tells us what nonsm! n?. TilaW nnrl some French memoir will doubtless at a future day relato what was tlio conversation at Villa Franca. It is not neccasary, however, to wait for the authentic report; the result suggest what the conversation must have been. "Surely." we can imagine Francis Josoph to have said, "my Imperial brother cannot intend to revolutionize Hungary, and to establish a focus of insurrection in Italy!" "Not tho least in tho world. I enre no more for these Italians than you do. This matter has gone quite far euough for my purpose. You see now that France is necessary to Austria. We will settle this atfair, and I will leave you stronger in Italy than you ever were. 1 will also make everything straight between you and Russia. You shall be one of us, and wo three together will impose law on Eure." Is it to be wondered at that Francis Joseph, with a beaten army and a bankrupt Exchequer, was not proof against such temptations f < ?
