They were kept twelve years in prison at Pierre-Encise; none but M. de Chambrun, who had been taken to Valence, managed to escape and take refuge in Holland, bemoaning to the end of his days a moment's weakness.
Lincoln who was not the Southern sympathizer the scandalous hinted glanced at the city, and said aloud with bitterness: "That city is full of our enemies!" Had she a premonition on the fatal eve? Right before the Marquis of Chambrun, their companion, the President serenely said: "Enemies, Mary! Never speak of that!"
In that hearing, De Chambrun represented the Government of France and I represented the Government of the United States. Thus having knowledge of the Le Mores, who were yet in New Orleans, we applied to them for the purpose of ascertaining the character of Delauney, Rice & Co., and also whether there was any person living who had knowledge of the fitting out of the bark William.
The Marquis of Chambrun, a French volunteer, who entered the Lincoln circle, relates in a more elegant strain the above incident. He states that Thompson and Sanders were informed upon, and Stanton repeated the information to the President with a view of having them intercepted. But the other in his tender voice responded: "Let us close our eyes, and leave them pass unnoticed."
By-and-by, awaking, he cried for it, and beat Madeleine with his tiny fists; nor was pacified till his attention was diverted by an almost interminable file of mules, with their five or six olive-faced muleteers in brown jackets and red sashes. When we got back, we found my uncle Chambrun, my mother's only brother, standing at the door.
Preston, then minister plenipotentiary of the republic of Hayti, by which this claim, with another large claim in behalf of A. H. Lazare against the republic of Hayti, was submitted to an international arbitrator, the Hon. William Strong, formerly a justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. The republic of Hayti retained Charles A. de Chambrun and myself as counsel for the defence.
All this was done gently, without violence or disorder. There is only a parson named Chambrun, patriarch of the district, who persists in refusing to listen to reason; for the president, who did aspire to the honor of martyrdom, would, as well as the rest of the Parliament, have turned Mohammedan, if I had desired it.
So there had we to leave the ghastly object, though its remaining there was equally prejudicial to decency and to health. Men's tongues were very busy that day; every one foreboding calamity and nobody knowing how to meet it. My mother sent me, after breakfast, to visit my uncle Chambrun, who had fallen sick; and as the distance was about seven leagues, I went to him on a small but active horse.
The commissioner, perceiving that the bishop was getting the worst of it, broke in with "All this is beside the mark. The king is determined that you, Monsieur Chambrun, should be a good Catholic; so it is no good begging off. You had much better accept the good offer made you, which I trust you will do on thinking it over."
They are carrying things hardly at Arles and Uséz, and you had better warn M. Chambrun he is in danger." My father changed countenance. "He and his wife are with us at this moment," said he. "They must depart, then," said Romilly, "and without loss of time, or she will not be allowed to go with him.
