burg. proposing combined action Of TIE three pow
ers upon American affairs, was published in the

Lhuys is simply this: THAT the three maritime
powers of Europe invite the two beligereni powers
of America TO declare an arIastice Of Fix months,
during which every act Of war, drect or indirect, ~
sea or land, shall lie suspended, and which may, II
the case admit. be ulterorly extended" This
