Among the most ti«portant news fram Eu- rope by the Africs is the text of the mediation despatch sddreserd by thy French Minister of Forcign Atture, M. Drourn de I'Huys, to.ths French Ambas-adors at London and St. Petérs- dary, urging their coalition of the governments jo which they aro accredited with the dodifo of the French Emperor to propoe am armistice of eix months between the northern and seuthera sections of this country, with a yjew to an wv icable settlement of the diffic@ty and the ter. mination of the civil war. Earl Russell replies on the partof England that “after weizhing all the information which bas been received from America, her Majesty's overnmentare led to the couclusion that there no ground at the present moment te hope that the Federal government would accept the | a ap and a garsaeiry from Was ington at the present time would prevent any piso renewal of the offer, Her Majesty's government think, therefore, that it would be better to watch carefully the progress of opinion in America, and if, as there appears reason to | hope, itmay be found to have undergone, or | may undergo er, any change, the three | cour's might then avail themselves df such | change to offer their friendly counsel with a | ppnabill sheng shy than now exists of ite ®eing accepted by the two contending parties. “Her Majesty's government will communi. cate to thatof Framce any intelligence thes may receive from Washington or Richmond bearing on this important «<ubj-ct,"" The reply of Prince Gortschakof, in behalf ot Russia, is very itive. Ha says that “it is requisite, above all things, to avoid the appear- ancé of any pressure whatever capable of chill- ing publi. opinion in America, or of exercising the rueceptibility of that nation, that a com- bined measure of the three great Powers, ho ever conciliatory, if presented in an official character, would be the cause of arriving a! Teenlt opposed to pacification. If, however,” he says, “France should persist in her inten- tion of mediatiqn, and England should acqui- esce in her course, instructions should be sent to Baron Stoeck!, at Washington, to lend to both his colleaguee there (the French and En- glish Ministers,) if not official aid, vt least moral support.” 87 The guerillas have nearly all disappeared from the Green River country in Kentucky, and the citizens of that region have begun band- ing together to keep them out. Cols. Brace and Shackleford now hold Hopkinsville, and the troops at Madisonville cnt off the hne of rebel communication between the Green River coun. try and the South. Adam Johnson has lett for parts unknown, and most of his gang of thieves have followed. The remainder are being gather. ed in by Cols.

Observer, however, believes the whole force of Rebels at and in the imme- diate vicinity of the Gaps to be abo»t one brig- ude—say 1200 men. About 150 cavalry are re- ported to have gone from Big Creek to Cumber- land Gap a few days since—it is supposed for the purpose of coming into Knox connty for- aging and taking prisoners. Itis reported that | the Kebele hang four citizens of Whitley county during one of their raids a week or two since. 87 A spirited reconnoissance hy a body of Gen, Foster's forces, consisting of the 3d New York cayalry, under command of Lieut.
