THE DESPATCH OF THE FRENCH GO-
VERNMENT ON MEDIATION IN AMERICA.

The following is the full text of the French
despatch to the ambassadors at London and St.
Petersburg :

" PARIS, Off. 30, 1062.

"Monsieur,—Europe has observed with a mourn-
ful interest the struggle which has continued for
more than a year' on the American continent.
Hostilities have called forth sacrifices and efforts
which are undoubtedly calculated to give the
highest idea of the perseverance and energy of
I the two populations ; but the spectacle which does
so much honour to their courage has coat them
numberless calamities and a terrible effusion of
blood. To the effects of a civil contest, that
from the very first assumed vast proportions, is to
be added the danger of a servile war, which would
fill up the measure of irreparable misfortunes.
"The sufferings of a nation towards which we
have always professed a sincere friendship, would
have been enough to excite the Emperor's most
lively solicitude, even were we not ourselves
affected indirectly by these events.
"Influenced by the ties which the extension of
commerce has multiplied between the different
regions of the earth, Europe herself has felt the
tellisbcombeerstiv-WaisAbit op ego af.
the most abundant sources of public wealth, and
which in the great centres of industry has been the
cause of the severest trials.

a When the contest commenced, we (as
you are well aware) considered it a duty
to observe the strictest neutrality, and the
Cabinet at Washington has frequently acknow-
ledged the good faith with which we pussued that
line of conduct. The sentiments we adopted have
never changed ; but the benevolent character of
this neutrality, far from imposing upon the powers
an attitude which looks like indifference, should
rather lead to our making ourselves useful to
both parties, by aiding them to extricate them-
selves from a position which, for the present at
least, seems without issue.
" From the very commencement of the war, an
equality of strength has been almost uniformly
maintained by the belligerents, and though so much
blood has been shed, there is at the present mo-
ment no perceptible change in that respect : nothing
justifies our considering more decisive military
operations as near at baud. On the contrary, ac-
cording to the latest information received in Eu-
rope, the two armies are in such circumstances that
neither has any reason to anticipate, within a
limited.period, any advantages sufficiently decided
to turn the balance, and hasten the conclusion of
a "This combination of circumstances points out
an opportunity for an armistice, to which, moreover,
no strategic interest seems at present to place
any obstacle.
• The disposition, favourable to peace, which
begins to manifest self in the North as well as
the South, would second the efforts which might be
made to render the idea of a truce agreeable.
"The Emperor has therefore come to the conclu-
sion, that this is a favourableopportunity for offer-
ing to the belligerents the combined good offices of
the maritime powers, and his Majesty has commis-
sioned me to make a proposition of that kind to
the government of her Britannic Majesty and the
Court of Russia. It is proposed that the three
Cabinets should endeavour, both at Washington
and in the Confederate States, to bring about a
suspension of arms for six months, during which
all direct and indirect acts of war shall cease pro-
visionally. by sea and land, and if necessary the
period might be prolonged.
"I need not say that these overtures imply, on
our part, no judgment as to the origin or the
issue of the dispute, nor any pressure on the
negotiations which, it may be hoped, will arise out
of the armistice. Our bushiests is merely to smooth
down the difficulties, and not to interfere further
than may be desired by the two parties. In a
word, we do not consider ourselves called upon to
prejudge, but to prepare a solution for the difficul-
ties which have hitherto prevented the belligereuts
from making advances.
" Would not harmony between the three courts
be, moreover, a sufficient guarantee of their inten-
tions 1 Would it not give to their proceedings an
evident character of impartiality 1 Acting in con-
cert, they unite those conditions which are the best
calculated to inspire confidence—the government of
the Emperor, by the constant traditions of French
policy with regard to the United States ; that of
England, by the community of races ; that of
Russia, by the friendship of which it has never
ceased to give proofs to the cabinet at Washington.
" If the result should not justify the expecta-
tions of the three Powers, and if the fierceness of
the contest should overpower the wisdom of their
counsels, the attempt would not be the less hon-
ourable to them. They would have fulfilled a duty of
humanity the more specially imposed upon them in a
war which is accompanied by such strong feelings as
render every direct effort at negotiation difficult to
the two contending parties. It is the mission which
international law assigns to neutrals, at the same
time that it prescribes to them a rigorous impar-
tiality; and never can they make a more noble use
of their influence than by employing it in the en-
deavour to terminate a strife which causes so much
suffering, and compromises such mighty interests
throughout the entire world.
" Finally, even should these overtures produce
no immediate result, they will not be altogether
useless, for they will encourage the tendency
towards conciliatory ideas, and thus contribute
to hasten the time at which a return to peace may
be possible.
I wish you to propose these considerations, in
the name of his Majesty, to Lord Russell and
Prince Gortchakoff, and to ask information regard-
ing the intention of her Britannic Majesty and the
Court of Russia ; and you will be good enough to
inform each court that I have writteu to the ambas-
sador at the other in the same terms.
