" But far from imposing upon the Powers an at-
titude resembling indifference, neutrality should
dispose them to render themselves useful to both
parties, and aid them to emerge from a position
which at present appears without issue."
The despatch proceeds to state that the situa-
tion of the belligerents does not permit a hope of
marked advantage likely to accelerate the con-
clusion of peace, but points out the opportunity
for an armistice, to which, in the present state
of things, no strategic interests appear to make an
obstacle.
M. Drouyn de L'nuys continues thus :
"Dispositions favourable to peace begin to mani-
fest themselves in the North as well as the South,
and would second steps for the conclusion of a
truce. The Emperor has charged me to propose to
the Cabinets of London and St. Petersburg to come
to an understanding to employ their influence at
Washington and in the Confederate States, in order
to bring about a suspension of hostilities for six
months, during which all direct or indirect acts of
war should cease both on sea and land.
"These overtures would imply no judgment
upon the origin or issue of the quarrel, and no
pressure upon negotiations which might be con-
ducted. Our part would solely be to smooth away
difficulties, and only to intervene in the measures
determined upon by both parties.
" The accord of the three Powers would impress
the steps they might take with an evident character
of impartiality. If our counsels were not listened
to we should have fulfilled the duties of humanity,
and even remaining without result, our efforts
would not be entirely useless, for they might en-
courage in American public opinion a movement
towards conciliatory ideas, and assist in hastening
the moment when the return of peace might become

possible."
The Moniteur also announces that it was never
intended that the inauguration of the Boulevard
Prince Eugene should take place before the begin-
ning of December, when tle Emperor will be pre-
sent at the ceromony.
