Earl Granville.
New YORK, Sept. 14.-The World
London special of the 18th says, that thil
afternoon Earl Granville called on Thiers
at the French Embassy. Although Thiers
came fully qualified by the French Gov
ernment, he could not be received IL
Downing street. as the English Govern
ment will not yet recognize the republic.
Earl Granville, however, conferred with
him, as the representative of the de facto
| government of France, semi officially.
The Earl exhibited all his well known
courtesies and suavity. His Lordship
said: / hope you will allow me to ex-
press the deep regret with which, as an
individual, have seen so many misfor-
| tunes befall France; country allied in SO
many ways with England If my earn
est wishes could be of any avail, peace
would sOoI restore to her her former
| prosperity.
Thiers replied: ''France is quite abl
and determined to defend herself against
all foes, but she earnestly desires peace,
and it is for that reason that by me she
now asks England, upon whose action all
the powers of Europe are now waiting,
to join them in securing for her such
| terms of peace as she can honorably ac-
cept She will accept no terms that are
not honorable"
Earl Granville replied 81 do not see
how England can interfere; but think l
may say that while preserving strict neu-
trality England will present to Prussia
any proposition offered by France, and
act the part of a sincere friend. 1t
| cannot, however, be expected that Eng
land will join any power in uttering a
threat to Prussia; nor can England ever
positively promise to urge upon Prussia
the acceptance of any such offer which
France may be disposed to make her,"
Theirs firmly bIt cOurteOusly said upon
this that he saw nothing 10 be looked for
from England then in the matter; and that
the negotiations undertaken by the cOnti-
mental powers with the hope of England's
co-operationEmust probably be suffered to
fall through.

nOunced i'm n Public Meeting, for
its Course Towards the French Re-
public.

made public. Late in the evening, an i'm
promptu meeting of thepeople was called,
and great crowd assembled in Trafalgar
Square. There were many speakers,
among them Edgar and Justice Mccarthy,
and the government was denounced in the
bitterest and most unmeasured terms, for
its course toward the French Republic.
The Cabinet was declared to be Cabinet
of treason to human rights add to the
peace of Europe. The example of Amer
lea was invoked amid great and tremend-
Gus cheers from the multitude. Immense
applause followed the sentiment, that is,
if the right of the people to establish
Republic in France was to be denied, it
would soon become the duty of the peo-
pie to establish Republic in England.
A great Democratic meeting is called
to be held in Hyde Park on Sunday next
and it is IN contemplation to form
grand Democratic procession in honor of

Il
contains nothing of the character of GER
tain extracts professedly made from it in
kilograms sent to this country recently
from Belgium. On the contrary it ex-
plcitly says that an understanding has
been reached by two powers hitherto
neutral, with the object of uniting to put
an end to the war, and causing it to be
succeeded by peace which shall not
leave the defeated party the pain of losing
any portion of its territory. The two
powers here spoken of are understood to
be Russia and Austria. Prince Gortscha-
k0ff is reported to have said at a dinner,
openly: We are disposedtO forgive 1854
in the present most satisfactory behavior
to us of Vienna.
