Transcript | 39 No. 55. Russian Ambassador at Paris to Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs. Paris, July 16 (Telegramme.) Viviani vient de me con- firmer Fentiere resolution du Gouvernement francais d'agir d'accord avec nous. Cette resolution est soutenue par les cercles les plus etendus et par les partis y compris les radicaux- socialistes, qui viennent de lui presenter une declaration ex- primant la confiance absolue et les dispositions patriotiques du groupe. Des son arrivee a Paris, Viviani a telegraphie d'urgence a Londres que, vu la cessation des pourparlers directs entre Petersbourg et Vienne, il etait necessaire que le Cabinet de Londres renouvelat le plus tot possible, sous telle ou autre forme, sa proposition concernant la mediation des Puissances.

Viviani ayant fait observer que si FAllemagne desirait la paix elle devrait se hater d'adherer a la proposition de mediation anglaise, le Baron Schoen a repondu que les mots " conference ' ou arbitrage' effray- aient FAutriche. Viviani a re- plique qu'il ne s'agissait pas de mots, et qu'il serait facile de trouver une autre forme de mediation.

Before seeing me to-day Viviani saw the German Ambassador, and the latter again assured him of the peaceful intentions of Germany. Viviani having pointed out that if Germany wished for peace she should hasten to give her support to the British proposal for mediation, Baron von Schoen replied that the words " conference " or " arbitration ' alarmed Austria.
