New YORK, September 14.-The
Worlds London special says that in the
afternoon Earl Granville called on
Theirs at the French Embassy. Al
though Thiers came fully qualified by
the French Government he could not
he received in Downing street, as the
English Government will not yet recog-
nize the Republic Earl Granville,
however, conferred with him as the
representative of the de .facto Govern
ment of France semi-officially. The
Earl exhibited all his well known cour-
tesy and suavity. His lordship said ::
81 hope you will allow me to express
the deep regret with which, as an indi-
vidual, | have seen so many misfor-
tunes befall France-a country allied in
so many ways with England. II my
earnest wishes could be of any avail,
peace would soon restore to her her
former prosperity"
Thiers repled-France is quite
able and determined to defend herself
against all her foes, but she earnestly
desires peace and it is for that reason
that by me she now asks England upon
whose action all powers of Europe are
now waiting to join them in serving for
her such terms of peace as she can
hOnorably accept She will accept no
terms that are not honorable.
Earl Granville replied do not see
how England can interfere, but i think
that | may say, that while preserving
strict neutrality England will present to
Prussia, any propositions offered by
France and act her part Of the services.
Friends, it cannot, however, be expected
that England will join any power
in utteriRg threat to Prussia; nor can
England ever positively promise to urge
upon Prussia the acceptance of any
offer which any power may be disposed
to make to her.
Mr.. Thiers firmly but courteously
said upon this that he saw nothing to
be looked for from England then in the
matter, and that the negotiations under
taken by the Continental powers, with
the hope of Englands cooperation,
must probably be suffered to fall
through. The interview shortly after
ended
Upon making public, late in the al:
ternoon, the above interview, an i'm
promptu meeting Of the people was
called, and great crowd assembled in
Trafalgar Square. There were many
speakers present, among them Adger
and Justin Mccarthy. The Govern
ment was denounced in the bitterest
and most undisguised terms for
its course towards the French
Republic. The Cabinet was de-
clared to be a cabinet Of treason to
human rights and to the peace Of Eu-
rope. The example of America was
invoked amid most enthusiastic cheers
from the multitude. Immense applause
followed the sentiment that if the right
of the people to establish a republic in
France was to be denied, it would soon
become the duty of the people to estab-
lish republic in England. A great
democratic meeting is called, to be held
in HYDE Park, on Sunday night, and it
is in contemplation to form a grand
democratic procession in honor Of the
establishment of the French Republic.
Democratic meeting are announced,
with the same object, in Manchester,
Birmingham, Bristol and Edinburgh.
