The Minister leads us to the recess of a window, looking uneasily about him as he does so. "What are you going to do? What are you doing?" I query. "I am sending telegrams to the departments." "Is this very urgent?" "France must be informed of events." "Yes, but meanwhile Paris is making events. Alas! has it finished making them? The Regency is all very well, but it has got to be sanctioned."
His opponents urged the archduke to hasten his arrival in Spain and to assume the regency in the name of his invalid wife.
He wept and prayed to resign the regency, expressing the earnest intention of abstaining in the future from politics. I, the Empress Dowager, living within the palace, am ignorant of the state of affairs but I know that rebellion exists and fighting is continuing, causing disasters everywhere, while the commerce of friendly nations suffers.

For some time previous the Emperor, much impressed by Malet's conspiracy during his last absence, had expressed the opinion that it was dangerous to leave his government without a head; and the journals had been filled with information relative to the ceremonies required when the regency of the kingdom had been left in the hands of queens in times past.
