The chief topic occupying the London and Paris journals
Mt present the alleged solicitation Of tho United States
government to Grhad that he should take the supreme
command Of the Northern forces. In my last letter
mentioned this rumor and the time took IL for
granted there in the report. The Lincoln
administration surely cannot have committed any
such serious blundcr To bavo offered the chief
command to Ga.ibaldi. That a corps d'armoe should
be placed under his orders were all right
but American President have thought Of
so humAiating Generals Scott, Mcclellan Fremont
