TnE French ENpERoR's LAST PRorosI
ITIoN.--'Hhe New York Times commenting
on the late news from Europe, giving ru.
mors Of proposition from the Emperor
Napoleon for the North ard The South to
send delegates to a convention, says:
As military operations are not to
cease, pending the proposed conven-
ton, we can see no harm from com,
missioners North and South meeting in
Montreal Or Mexico, and discussing the
whole subject in the light of the existing
situation.
The New York Tribune remarks
AS the rumor comes from several indie,
pendent sources, it is probably nor with,
out foundation. If true, it is in effect on,
ly proposition to belligerents TO settle
their controversy 10y Congress of their
own. lfrejected, or accepted and follow,
ed by no settlement, there is still left to
tho Emperor the alternative Of offering
his own friendly offices In either case
that win probably be the next step. unless
cur government shall seize this occasion
TO assure the Emperor that no offer ofme.
diation whatever will be acceptable.
The Journal OF Commerce SAYS
The practical working of such a com,
mission might be matter Of doubt. II
could not be clothed with any powers.
while IL might pave tn, way to more cons
elusive because more constitutional coun
rrls. Theidcais freed from the objections
which attach 10 all plans Of medistlon.and

Americans the settlement Of their own
