When I left Venetia and the chiefs who knew so well how to reward, I went to Paris. A week afterwards His Highness Prince de Metternich, Austrian Ambassador to the French Government, made his first secretary write me the following letter: "Paris, 26th Sept., 1866. "His Imperial Highness Prince de Metternich desires me to inform you that he has received from his Government the sum of two thousand francs to be handed to you any day it may please you to call at the Chancellor's office. Accept, monsieur, the assurance of my entire esteem." CONCLUSION. NOWADAYS authors never write for glory. Yielding to the force of example, I have written these memoirs in order to try and get back some of the money which the illustrious de Glimes swindled me out of. Meanwhile, I like to think that these pages will not be entirely thrown away on those who read them. Our ancestors used to say: "If the King only knew!" I say to-day: "If the people could only see crowned heads as near as I have seen them, how disgusted they would be!" INDEX. Abbatucci, Monsieur Charles, 30, 32, 75. Ajosta, 230. 308, 309.
