The weather continued very variable. The
railway from Baiaklava to the camp was to
be commenced at once. The fire Of the al

have been supposed. The London Times
treats the question with great candor, and
submits the United States must allow that
such offer of mediation may be declined in
any special case, and no disrespect by the
declination of it. 1t is free to tie one party
to offer its friendly services, and free to the
other to accept them.
