Scope and Contents

He describes his trip to Paris in Detail. His interview with the Carlist Committee in London was not at all satisfactory, and everything remains to be settled at Perpignan. O'Clery did not find Glass and Kilkpatrick to be the right men for the work but he is assured that his services will be accepted. Kilkpatrick was in Spain for a year and was Don Carlos' agent in London with the title of Brigadier General and he served on the northern side during the Civil War. Murray is staying at the Hotel Haussman in Paris. The French look humbled but not broken down. Charette wants the Zouaves in France in case of an emergency and he does not sympathize with Don Carlos. Selby called one evening and they took a walk down Champs Elysies where he secured a good view of French life, and made some observations of their characteristics. Selby and he saw Louis Veuillot who was to give him some information. O'Clery is a devoted Catholic but can not be depended upon, since he exaggeratos. His cause of action will depend upon what Veuillot tells him. The reconciliation between the House of Orleans and Count de Chambord is now complete. The people are tired of revolutions and will accept any kind of government given to them. France is not able to go to war but it is considered that she will return and liberate the Pope. He and Selby called to see Louis Veuillot, but he was out, so they returned to the office. He called at the Redaction where they had the same view as he had on the affairs in Spain, they also take the Journal. He had the name of General D'Algarra Vergarra, head of the Carlist forces in France but he was unable to locate him, without a lengthy search. He is of the mind to tell Don Alfonso what he thinks of his agents. If he can not join Don Alfonso across the frontier, he will be penniless. He is not thankful to the Univers for the cortesy it showed him. It was fortunate for him to have met De Selby and O'Clery for he knows not what he would have done without them. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 24pp. 12mo.
