II Is believed here, here, from ir kilograms l rams
from Europe, thatIthe position, OF the
United Statcs, is not understood in
Europe. The only official despatch from
this Government relative to the war,
sent on Friday, addressed to Bancroft,
with copies to Washburne and Motley,
the effect of which, asoertained from an
altogether reliable source, was: ''While
we cannot act in connection with other
nations, yet If our good Offices are re-
quested by both belligerents, we should
be happy to extend them, with the view
of bringing about peace between the two
great powers with which we have tradi-
tional friendship" This Government
will scrupnlously abstain from interfer-
ing with the affairs of foreign nations,
if for no other reason, because it would
set the example or afford the pretext for
interference hereafter with our own;
hence, it expresses no opinion us to the
merits Of the war. The despatch to
Bancroft was carefully worded, so as to
leave no doubt of our carefully abstain
ing from foreign alliances as to bellige-
rents, while always ready to exercise the
offices of friendship when specially de-
sired by nations at war.
