§ MR. DARBY GRIFFITHsaid, he would beg to ask the noble Lord at the head of the Government, Whether any information has reached him in regard to the nine months' armistice agreed upon between the Danish and the German Powers? As this armistice has been agreed to before the arrival of the Danish Representative at the Conference, it must have been effected through foreign mediation. He wished to know, Whether the noble Lord is aware of any such foreign mediation?
§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTON, in reply, said, he believed that no such mediation had been employed. He believed that the French Government had recommended moderation to the German Powers, but the negotiations had been carried on entirely between the Representative of Denmark on the one side, and those of Austria and Prussia on the other.
