I would suggest to the charitable in England to send contributions to Mr.Herbert.I can hardly suppose that Count Bismarck would decline to let the money pass through the Prussian lines.
I hear that Mr.Washburne has obtained a half permission to send his countrymen out of the town, if so, I think it would be well if the poor English were also to leave; but this, of course, will require money.
The Nuncio has managed to get away; he declined to take letters with him.

E.Washburne, United States Minister, Lopez de Arosemana, Charge d'Affaires of Honduras, Duke Aquaviva, Charge d'Affaires of Monaco, and the other members of the Corps Diplomatique still here, have signed and published a protest against the refusal of Count Bismarck to let their despatches to their respective Governments leave Paris sealed.

That Mr.
Washburne should be indignant I can well understand; but although I do not personally know either Lopez de Arosemana, or Aquaviva, Charge d'Affaires of Monaco, I can understand Count Bismarck not being absolutely satisfied with the assurance of these potent signors that nothing except official despatches should pass under their seal.

That the Prince of Monaco should be debarred for a few months from receiving communications from his representative in Paris, may perhaps be unpleasant to him, but must be a matter of the most profound indifference to the rest of the world.
It is somewhat amusing to observe how justice is administered when any dispute arises in the streets.

The sergents-de-ville immediately withdraw, in order not to prejudice the question by their presence.
