from the French proposal for mediation.

Russell's official reply, dated Nov. 18th.
1t recapitulates the circular OF -. J..
Hugh, proposing mediation to recognize,

Intentions Of the Emperor observes that
the co ncurrence Of Russia would be cx
pr,.ssly desirable, but that at the present
time the Russian government had not
agreed to actively cooperate, although u
may support the endeavcrs OF England
and France.
Earl Russell then commends the dec's-
ion Of Her Msjesty's Government as fol-
lows:
After weighing all information recciv-
ed from America, the Government is led
to conclude that there is no ground at
the present moment to hope that the Fed
eral Government could accept the propo-
sal suggested, and refusal from Wash
ington at the present time would prevent
any speedy renewal Of the offer of the
Government, therefore he thinks it better
to watch carefully the progress Of opin-
ions in America, and if there appears rca-
son to hope it may he found to have un-
dergone any change this Government
may avail themselves of such changes,
offer their friendly counsel with q gcat-
er prospect than uow exists of its being
accepted by the two contending parties.
Her msjesty's government will commu-
nicate to the French government any In
telligence they may receive from Wash
ington or Richmond bearing on this i'm
portant subject.
The London Times editorially OBJ
serves Of Earl Russell's dispatch, that
his arguments have been anticipated BY
the public, and this is the best proof Of
their soundness.
