To-morrow a postal balloon named the "Victor Hugo" is to be sent up in the Place de la Concorde. I am sending a letter to London by this balloon. October 18. I have paid a visit to Les Feuillantines. The house and garden of my boyhood have disappeared. A street now passes over the site. October 19. Louis Blanc came to dine with me. He brought a declaration by ex-Representatives for me to sign.

The ex-Representatives of the Assembly, whose names are found beneath, are expelled from French territory, from Algeria, and from the Colonies, for the sake of public safety: "Edmond Valentine.

But I see more disadvantages than advantages in such a meeting. I thought I ought to refuse. We are eating horsemeat in every style.
