M. L'AMBASSADEIIR,
I have laid before the Emperor the letter that your Ex-
cellency did me the honour to address to me on the 10th
instant, containing the expression of regret felt by the Go•
vernment of her Britannic Majesty on learning the lament-
able loss which France has sustained by the death of
Marshal St. Arnaud. The Emperor has been deeply af-
fected by a proceeding which gives such evidence of the
union of this Government with that of the Queen, and
of the sincerity with which the two countries are
henceforth called upon to participate in all that
can be for either of them a subject of mourning or
of joy. If, under the present circumstances, anything
could assuage the grief which the Emperor and France
have felt at such a loss, it is truly, as your Excellency has
so well said, the satisfaction which Marshal St. Arnaud
was enabled in dying to experience, that he had just in-
scribed his name in conjunction with those of heroic allies
on one of the most glorious pages of the military annals of
England and France.
I have no need, my Lord, to add that the terms in which
your Excellency has so courteously expressed yourself per-
sonally in regard to the Marshal, have been duly appre-
ciated.—l hasten, kc.,
,(Signed) DROITYN DE LHITYS.
