Diary of the Besieged Resident in Paris

CHAPTER IV
23/32

This is absurd, for I hear that neither the General nor any of his staff have been fired upon or arrested during the last week.

The French military mind is unable to understand that the world will rather credit the testimony of impartial neutrals than official bulletins.

As far as correspondents are concerned, they are worse off under the Republic than even under the Empire.
M.Louis Blanc's appeal to the people of England is declamatory and rhetorical in tone, and I am inclined to think that the people of England are but a Richard Doe, and that in reality it is addressed to the Parisians.

M.Blanc asks the English in Paris to bear witness that the windows of the Louvre are being stuffed with sandbags to preserve the treasures within from the risks of a bombardment.

I do so with pleasure.
