Diary of the Besieged Resident in Paris

CHAPTER V
23/46

The Columbian Minister is to be the bearer of it.

It bombards Bismarck with copious extracts from Puffendorf and Grotius, and cites a case in point from the siege of Vienna in the 15th century.

It will be remembered that Messenger Johnson, at the risk of his life and at a very great expense to the country, brought despatches to the Parisian Embassy on the second day of the siege.

I recommend Mr.Rylands, or some other M.P.of independent character, to insist upon Parliament being informed what these important despatches were.

The revelation will be a curious one.
Yesterday afternoon I made an excursion into the Bois de Boulogne under the convoy of a friend in power.
