Mr. Motley to Mr. Fish.

[By cable.]

United States Legation, London, November 3, 1870. (Received November 3d.)

Fish, Secretary of State, Washington:

In correction of my telegram of yesterday, Granville learnt from French chargé d’affaires that Prussian commander in Chinese waters proposed suspension of hostilities to French commander, and latter accepted. Granville infers that French government sanctions the step, but is not sure that Prussian has done so. What you propose is begun with good prospect of success.

MOTLEY, London.
