When M. Guizot, as ambassador here, read me Thiers's note of the 8 october, he said, if I mistake not, that he was not going to discuss with me the arguments or the doctrines contained in it, and that he was not responsible for them. In fact I clearly perceived that M. Guizot saw through the numerous fallacies and false doctrines which that note contained.
My servant, by mistake, denied me to M. Francheschi, who went on to the internuncio and delivered his message to H. E. who came here immediately with M. Francheschi, and prepared a despatch for Prince Metternich detailing the transaction, and of which I have now the honour to enclose a copy that will save your Lordship the trouble of details from me.
