WASHINGTON, sep. u.
The only official dispatch recently
sent abroad relating 10 war, was one
Friday, addressed to Minister Bancroft.
aud copies of it, which were also trans,
mitted to Ministers Washburn and
Motley, to the effect that while we cam
not act in connection with other nations
yet if our good Offices should be reouir-
ed by both belligerents, we should be
happy to extend them, with a view of
bringing about peace between two great
powers with which we have tradition.
al friendship. Our Government will
scrupulously abstain from interfering
with the affairs of foreign nations, II
Tor no other reason than because il
would set an example and afford
pretext for foreign governments here
after to interfere with our own. Hence
1t expresses no opinions as to the merits
OF the war.
The telegram to Mr.. Bancroft ia
courteoEsly worded SO as not TO give
any grounds for doubt Is to our scfnsl
positions; carefully abstaning from for.

while always ready to exercise the an.
