Mercier behaves here as loyally as can be wished, and carefully avoids evoking any misunderstandings whatever. So do Louis Napoleon, Mr. Thouvenel, Lord John Russell, notwithstanding Mr. Seward's all-confusing policy. Mr. Mercier never, never uttered in my presence anything whatever which in the slightest manner could irritate even the thinnest-skinned American.
That very telegram before us is a proof how he can deal with a matter on which instruction would be impossible. 'Indeed, my lord! said Walpole, with well-assumed innocence. 'I am right glad to know he is coming home. He must demolish that writer in the Revue des Deux Mondes at once some unprincipled French blackguard, who has been put up to attack me by Thouvenel!
The best-known modern treatise on the divining-rod is that of M. Chevreul, 'La Baguette Divinatoire' . We have also 'L'Histoire du Merveilleux dans les Temps Modernes, by M. Figuier . In 1781 Thouvenel published his 600 experiments with Bleton and others; and Hegel refers to Amoretti's collection of hundreds of cases.
So, inconceivably enough, did Turkey, whose attitude, as the French ambassador at Constantinople, Thouvenel, put it, 'was less influenced by the opposition of Austria than by the approval of Russia'. Great Britain also threw in her weight with the powers which opposed the idea of union, following her traditional policy of preserving the European equilibrium.
He reported to Palmerston that Thouvenel was willing to make 'a reasonable adjustment of the Swiss frontier, which he believed meant 'an extension of the Swiss territory to the Fort de l'Ecluse and Saleve. Palmerston, however, refused the overture, saying, 'We shall shame them out of it. 'So, added Reeve, in relating the affair, 'neither he nor the Swiss got anything at all.
In answer, M. Billault declared that the French Cabinet, with the possible exception of M. Thouvénel, had been unanimously in favor of the South, and added that if New Orleans had not fallen its recognition would not have been much longer delayed; but, even after that disaster, if decided successes were obtained in Virginia and Tennessee, or the enemy were held at bay for a month or two, the same result would follow.
The violation of the Pontifical territory was now too flagrant to be denied any longer, and the more so, as the Cabinet of the Tuileries was not ignorant of anything that was taking place. It was, by a fortunate accident, represented at Rome by a diplomatist of a different school from that of Thouvenel and Lavalette.
SEWARD observes, disappears before the spirit of the law, M. THOUVENEL to the contrary, notwithstanding. It was therefore in the mode of procedure in regard to the seizure of the emissaries that the trouble lay. According to law, the vessel, if carrying contraband of war, is liable to seizure. But if this assumed contraband be men, these may not be guilty, and are entitled to a trial.
Dayton must impress everybody differently from that French parleying claims' prosecutor and itinerant agent of a sewing machine, who breakfasts in Brussels with Leopold, and the same day dines in Paris with Thouvenel, and may take his supper in h l, so far as the interest of the cause is concerned. But Dayton seems not to be in favor with the department.
I was sure it was to come to this; Mr. Thouvenel politely protested, and Mr. All this will make a very unfavorable impression upon European diplomats concerning Mr. Seward's diplomacy and statesmanship, as undoubtedly Mr. Thouvenel will semi-officially confidentially communicate Mr. Seward's faux pas to his colleagues. Mr. Seward emphatically instructs Mr.
