Diary of the Besieged Resident in Paris

CHAPTER IV
20/32

They believe only what they wish to believe.
M.Rochefort has issued a "poster" begging citizens not to construct private barricades.

There must, he justly observes, be "unity in the system of interior defences." The _Reveil_ announces that the Ultras do not intend to proceed to revolutionary elections of a municipality to-morrow, because they have hopes that the Government intend to yield on this question.

The Prefect of the Police is actively engaged in an attempt to throw light upon Pietri's connection with the plots which periodically came to a head against the Empire.

Documents have been discovered which will show that most of these plots were got up by the Imperial police.

Pietri, Lagrange, and Barnier, a _juge d'instruction_, were the prime movers.
