LONDON, Sept. 9-Noon.
1t is reported in the city to-day that the
Cabinets of Great Britain and Russia have
united firmly in strong and decided diplo-
matte effort for the obtainment of peace
between France and Prussia. This is the
general rumor.
To particularize, I may state that 1 have
been informed On good authority that her
Majesty Queen Victoria and the Gear Alex
ander have adopted form of joint govern
ment note on the subject, and that copies of
this important state paper have been for
warded simultaneously by special couriers
from London and st. Petersburg to Berlin.
In this note the two great neutral monarchs
set out by suggesting terms of peace, and con-
clude by pointing out to King William that
the present moment is exceedingly opportune
for the insurement Of the fulflment of these
terms, particularly opportune before still
greater amount of national irritation has been
engenedred in France by tho Prussian act Of
bombardment of Paris.
have been assured that Queen Vic toria
addressed private and most affectionate let
ter to Queen Augusta of Prussia at the same
moment in which she "prays" that her royal
sister will her well known influence
with King William for the accomplishment of
peace.
ANOTHER STORY ABOUT THE POSITION OF ENG
LAND.
On the other hand, private correspondent
telegraphs from Paris Friday morning &c
understand from French source on which
can place implicit reliance thatgas England has
thus far declined to take any steps to induce
Prussia to consent to an armistice as pre-
liminary to q treaty Of peace, involving no
territorial sacrifice, and as delay under the
circumstances must result in further bloodshed,
the Austrian government has taken the task.
England's refusal to interfere is partly
traceable to the personal influence Of the
Queen, to whom Gladstone comedies much
partly to Granville's aristocratic aversion
that no neutral interference would now be nnucn-
tial. Great pressure has been put in the British
government from Paris, but without result. Eng
Iish residents denouncc in bitter terms what they
style the pusillanimity OF the English Cabinet.
UNPLEASANT RELATIONS BETWEEN PRUSSIA AND
ENGLAND.
1t Is reported IN diplomatic circles in Paris that
England will not push intervention in favor or
peace owing to the existence Of unpleasant relations
just now between the cabinets Of Berlin and London
The Germans are incensed because England con-
tinues TO sell arms to private individuals who de-
liver them to France.
JULES PAvRE TOO sANGUINE OF AN ALLIANCE WITH
RUSSIA.
Further particulars received this morning con.
cernJng Jules Favres declaration enable me to
say that the account OF it sent you yesterday was
entirely accurate. All the circumstances am not
at liberty to state, but 1t isprobabe that Favres
hopes of Immediate alliance with Russia little
tCO sangune; that the negotiations thus far have
necessarily been informal and that In answer to the
urgency or the French Minister Russia intimates
that she cannot Immediately accept such an alli-
ance or take hostile steps against Prussia unless In
conjunction with Austria or some other power
