The following; U the dltpatch from the French Mlnlitcr of Foreign Affairs, addressed to the Ambassador of France at London and Si. Pe tersburg i From the Moalteur. rims, October 30, 1803. Europe watches with painful Interest the struggle which has been raging more than a year, upon tho American continent. The hot tllllles hare provoked sacrifices and efforts ccr. talnlj of a nature to Inspire the highest Idea of the perseverance and' energy, of two popula tions. But this spectacle, which docs so much honor to their courage. Is only given at tho prlco of numberless calamities and a prodigious effu sion of blood. To these results of civil war which from the very first assumed vast proportions, thero Is still to be added apprehensions of a servile war, which would bo the culminating point of 'so many Irreparable disasters. The sufferings of a nation towards which we have always professed sincere friendship would have sofBccd to excite the sincere sollcltsde of the Emperor, even had we ourselves not suffered by the counter-blow of theso events. Under the Influence of the Inti mate relations which extensive Intercourse lias multlnlled between the various reclons of the globe, Europe, Itself, has suffered from the con sequences of tho crisis which has dried up ono or tne most rruitiui sources or puuuc weaiiu and which has become, for tho great centres ol labor, tho cause of most sad trials. Aa you areaware, when the conflict commenc ed we held It our duty to observe tho most strict neutrality In concert with the other maritime Powers, and the Washington Cabinet repeatedly acknowledged the honorable manner In ,whlch we adhered to that line of conduct. The sentU ment dictated to us have undergone no chango but of a benevolent character. That neutrality, Instead of Imposing upon tho Powers the atti tude which mleht resemble indifference, ought rather to make them of service to the two par- t es. by belDlnir them out of a-position which seems to have no lssne. From the commence ment of the war an armed force waa set on foot by the belligerents, which slnco then has al most constantly been kept up. After so much bloodshed, they are now In that respect nearlyln the samo position, nothing authorizing the pre sumption that more decisive military operations will shortly occur, according to the last news received In Europe. The two armies, on the contrary, were In a condition that would not allow either party to hope within a brief delay for any decided advantage to turn the balance and accelerate the conclusion of a peace. All these circumstances taken together point to the opportunity of an armistice to which, moreover, under tho present circumstances, no strategical objection can be made. The favor able dispositions towards peace which are be ginning to manifest themselves In tho North aa well aa In the South might, on the other hand, second steps that might be made to recommend the Idea of a trace. The Emperor has, there fore, thought that tho occasion haa presented It self of offering to the belligerents the support of tho srood offices of the maritime Powers, and his Majesty has charged me to make the propo sition of this Government to her Britannic Ma jesty, as well aa the Court of Russia, that the turee cauineis wouia exert tneir inuuenco at Washington, aa well aa with the Conlcdcratcs, to obtain an armistice for six months, during which every act of war, direct or Indirect, should provisionally cease, on sea as well as on land, and It might .be, If necessary, ulteriorly prolonged. The overtures, I need not say, sir, wonld not Imply on our part any Judgment on the origin of the Itine of tho slruffule. nor any piTftSTire upon thelnocotlattons which mleht. It It hoped, ensue In favor ofan armistice. Our task would consist solely In smoothlup; down obsta cle, and In Interfering: only In a measnro de termined upon by the two parties. Wa should not, In fact, believe ourselves called upon to decide, hut to prepare, a solu tion of tho difficulties which hitherto have op posed a reconciliation between the belligerent panics. Would not, moreover, an agreement between tno tnreo courts respond suiucienuy to tneir Intentions 1 Would It not give to their step a character of evident Impartiality? Acting In concert, they wonld combine the conditions best salted to Inspire confidence, tho Gov ernment of tho Emperor, by tho constant tradition of French policy towards tho Uni ted BUtes i England, by the community of race f Russia, by tho marks of friendship sho never ceased to show to tho Washington Cabinet. Should the event not Justify tho hope of tho three Powers, and should the ardor of the struggle overrule the wisdom of their coun cils, this attempt would not bo the less honor able for them. They would havo fulfilled the duty of humanity, more especially Indicated In the war tn which the excited passions which ren der all direct attempts at negotiation moro difficult. It Is a mission which international law assigns to neutrals, at tho samo time that It prescribes to them strict impartiality i and they could never make a nobler use of their In fluence than by endeavoring to put an end to the struggle which causes so much suffering and compromises such great Interests through out the whole world. Finally, een without any Immediate results, these overtures would not be entirely useless, for they might encourage public opinion to views of conciliation, and thus contributo to hasten tho moment when a return of peaco might become possible. I request you, sir, in tho name of his Majesty to submit these considerations to Lord Russell or Prince GortschaJcotT, begging him to state the views of the Government of her Britannic Majesty or the Court of Russia.

The Journal die St. Petersburg publishes the following statement i "Wo believe that the Foreign Powers have no right whatever to In terfere In America, Ye also believe that no other Intervention would bo possible than one similar to the advice which Russia haa constant ly tendered In a friendly spirit since the com mencement of the struggle.'
