A battle near Waterloo was expected, but it did not come off. Mr. Morgan and his friend returned to Brussels, and I quote his exact words, as given in the Pall Mall Gazette he «found the town on the verge of a turmoil. This was owing to General von Jarodzky's stupidity, and very nearly involved the town in the same rate which afterwards overwhelmed Louvain.
I certainly wish that I had been able to answer M. Thiers's note sooner, so that the reply would have been given to him instead of his successor; but I could not; I was overwhelmed with business of every sort and kind, and had no command of my time; I did not think however that the fact of M. Thiers having gone out of office was a reason for withholding my reply; the note of October contained important doctrines of public law which it was impossible for the British government to acquiesce in; and silence would have been construed as acquiescence.
