No. 294.]
Legation of the United States, Paris, September 20, 1870. (Received October 5.)
Sir: I am making up a small dispatch to send to London by a gentleman who leaves at noon to-day. He may get through or he may not. All communication with Paris was cut yesterday morning, both by rail and by telegraph. As you will have seen, several members of the diplomatic body have already left and gone to Tours. They are—Lord Lyons, Prince Metternich, Mr. Nigra, (the Italian minister,) and the Turkish ambassador. They left without any consultation with the other members of the corps.
