1t will be remarked from the very full letters of
our Paris correspondents that the Count de Per-
sgny arrived in London on the 18th Of June, about
of Lords and Commons, and the essential point of
the whole subject is to be found in the assertion
that the Count was entrusted by Napoleon with
the negotiation of the terms of plan of g media
tion" with England. The assumption obtained
a very general credence in Paris from
the fact that the Potrie of the 18th
instant circulated the following paragraph
in larger type than usual:-"We are assured that
negotiations are about to commence in London to
arrive at an understanding which may enable pro-
posas to be made for a mediation in American
affairs. If the negotiations in question succeed.
the mediation of England and France will be ten
dered simultaneously and in identical terms, to
the belligerent parties"
