lof Foreign Affairs, addressed a dis
patch to the ambassadors of France
at London and st. Petersburg, da-
ted Paris, Oct. Both. He refers to
the painful interest with which
Europe has watched the struggle
raging in America. Europe has
suffered from the consequences of
the crisis, which has dried up one
1of the most fruitful sources of pub
lie wealth. The neutrality main
tanned by France and other pow
-lers, ought to make them of service
Ito the two parties by helping them
out Of position which seems to
have no issue. At last accounts
the two armies were in condition
that would not allow either party
any decided advantage to acceler-
late a conclusion of peace. All
these circumstances point to an OPP
} portunity Of an armistice. The
! Emperor has, therefore, thought
the occasion has presented itself
of offering to the belligerents, the
good offices of maritime powers.
! He, (the Emperor, therefore, pre-
poses, that England, Russia, and
France, should propose an armis-
tice for SIX months, during which
every act of hostility, direct or in
= direct, should cease at sea, as well
ias on land The arlnistice might,
! if necessary, be renewed for fur
Their period. This proposal should
} not imply any pressure in nego-
tiations for peace, which it is hoped
; would take place during the ar
mistice.
Earl Russell, in his reply, say
Her Majesty's Government recog-
nized with pleasure the design OF
arresting the progress of the war
I by friendly measures; but asks-is
the end proposed attainable at the
: present moment by the course sug-
r gested by the Government Of
: France? After weighing the in
| formation which has been received
!. from America, Her Majesty's Gov
, ernment are led to the conclusion
l that there is no ground at the pres
5 ient moment to hone that the Fed
: eral Government would accept the
!, proposal suggested, and refusal
: from Washington at the present
: time would prevent a speedy re.
of like offers. Her Majcs
S tvs Government thinks, therefore
e that it would be better to await &
; time, when the three courts may
5 offer their friendly counsel with
t greater prospect than now exists
of its being accepted by the two
e contending parties.
y Prince Galcschakoff replies that
S the proposed meditation, if present
ed in an official or an ofiicious char.
i acter, would be cause of arriving
d at results opposed to publications
e If, however, France should persist
in her intention of mediation, and
d England should acquiesce in her
: course, Instructions shall be sent to
d Baron Steokle at Washington to
e lend the French and English min
!. listers, if not official aid, at least
+ moral support.
