Count Bismarck, replying to Earl Granville's
offers OF mediation. through Count Bernstein, the
Prussian Minister to London. says there win be no
obstacle offered by him TO the French election
for members OF the Legislative Assembly, but the
consent Of the French provisional government to
the holding Of such elections is wanting. He fears
that Paris, misintcrpreting England's motive In
Offering to mediate, is thereby encouraged to pro.
long resistance. He declares that Prussia Is willing
to receive and earnestly consider any proposition
from France which seems TO carry with it general
desire for peace.
PRUSSIA CITING HISTORY.
