"ly Lord as,d Gstlenen at an
epoch of such moment to the future Tor
tunes of Europe, am especially desir-
GUS to avail myself of your counseis.
The war which broke out in the month
of July between France and Germany
his RACED, until within the last few
days, with unremitting and likewise
ttwitn ufexampl1d fUice; asid us fav-
ages may he more, unless moderation
and forethought,. pnevaf1ing4 over al
impediments, shall sway the councIis
of both parties whose well-being is so
fatally concerned, At the time when
YOU separated, promised to give
constant attention to the ssahtect OF neu-
trail obligation and I undertook to use
my best endeavors to prevent the en-
laraesqept,of themea' OF thet Wal, = and
to contribute to the restoration of an
early and honorable peace. ,.pu
nIn accordance with the first of these
declarations, have maintained the
right and strictly discharged the duties
of neutrality. h'i'a 9"h >" '''"'"' ~
"The sphere of the war has not been
extended be- You'd the two countries orr
ginally engaged. Cherishing with care
the cordiality of my relations with the
belligerents, I have forborne from WHIST
ever might have been construed as gra-
tuitous or unwarranted interference be-
tween the parties, neither of whom had
shown readiness to- PROPOSE terms of
accommodation such as to bear prom
e,of acceptance by, the other.
~ have been able, on more than one
occasion, to contribute towards placing
proper representatives of the contend
ing countries in confidential commune
cation, but, until famine compelled the
surrender of Paris, no further results
have been obtained.
"The armistice, now being employed
for the convocatfon Of an Assembly in
France, has brought about a pause in
the constant accumulation of both sides
of human suffering and has rekindled
the hope of a complete accommodation.
~ pray that this suspension may re-
suit in peace compatible for the two
great and brave nations involved, with
security and with honor, and likely,
therefore, to command the approval of
Europe, and to give reasonable hopes
Of a long duration" H1-.-
