Earl Granville replied he would gladly be the
means Of communication between the two belliger-
euts and that the good offices Of England, so far as
they could avail entirely at the service OF eth
er Power.
II is not understood that he was asked to address
TO Prussia any representation or request Of any kind
as coming from England. 1t has not, therefore,
been necessary to reject any such application, but
the Foreign Office has necessarily considered the
possibility of such request being made and, while
it does not desire to make any announcement of its
advance it has no reason for concealiug its views
which are, in fact believed to be well understood
by both. Those views not favorable to inter
vention; the efforts which the English Government
made to avert the outbreak of hostilities having
been rejected by France, Earl Granville does not
think circumstances now warrant interference TO
save France from the consequence of her own DELHI
crate act.
