Santa Anna bad been sent to Vera Cruz for so permanent that even at calm moments the Em-
press was in dread of infernal machines and secret
societies, whose general aim she considered was to
poison people, but particularly herself.
" Such was the condition of the Empress towards
the end of June. At this period an incident hap-
pened which effected a sadder change.
" On the 2d July, immediately after breakfast,
the Princess was seized with indisposition, accom-
panied by nausea. What we have just said on the
subject of the progress of her ideas will show that
these symptoms, insignificant in themselves, neces-
sarily had the effect of renewing the fear of poison
by provoking great excitement. This was increased
by the sad thoughts evoked by the reminiscences of
the days immediately following.
" The 6th of July was the birthday of her beloved
husband, who at this time had already been exe-
cuted, and the Bth July was the anniversary of his
departure for Mexico. The influence of these
thoughts produced violent agitation. From her
words it was gathered that her mind was constantly
engaged with the thoughts of him whose heart could
then no longer beat for her. She then refused to
eat or drink, and was with difficulty persuaded to
take some light nourishment.
" On the 12th July one of her physicians banded
her a letter from the King of the Belgians, inviting
her to come to Belgium, at the same time informing
her that the Queen of the Belgians would go to
Vienna, and there await the moment when the
Empress should call her to Miramar.
"The Empress replied without delay, but in her
letter did not in any way refer to the King's invita-
tion, simply confining herself to expressing her re-
gret that she could not receive the Queen owing to
want of room. But notwithstanding this, the
Empress seemed to be persuaded that the Queen
would stir: pay her a visit, and asked the next day
at frequent intervals whether the Queen had not
already arrived at Trieste. At the same time her
condition grew worse, and her disquietude became
so great that she scarcely touched food or drank
even a drop of water during the whole day. In her
surmises she was right, for the Queen of the
Belgians arrived on the 14th June. At the formal
desire of the Empress, her physician was forced to
remain present during the interview. Two days
afterwards Dr. Bulkens, director of the Lunatic
Asylum at Gheel, in Belgium, arrived at Miramar,
and had a consultation with the three physicians we
have already named.
" Bulkens commenced by informing his col-
leagues that he had been commissioned by the King
of the Belgians to convey the sufferer to Belgium.
This communication cut short any further discus-
sion. In a statement which was signed on the 17th
July by the four physicians, Drs. Ilek, Riedel, and
Machek declined all responsibility should she be re-
moved. M. Bulkens, on the contrary, declared
that he would be answerable.
"The following days were devoted to the pre-
parations for the Empress's journey. The physicians
were unanimously of opinion that she should only
travel by rail. The Empress's physician had con-
fided her to the care of M. Bulkens. To show how
strong at this period were the influences which
forced thoughts upon her mind, wo may mention
that on the 16th July she wrote a letter to the
Queen of the Belgians, in which, while expressing
the pleasure which the visit of her Majesty had
afforded, she at the same time declared she wished
to see her no more. This was a formal adieu. A 5
soon as her growing agitation had ceased, she
equally refused to receive the visit of the Archduke
Charles Louis, who had already been to Miramar
the previous autumn, when the Empress first re-
turned from Rome. The strength of the patient
diminished at the same time in an alarming manlier
and then it became impossible to let her resume her
walks ; indeed, it was with great difficulty that she
could be induced to take sufficient food. It was
while in this condition that on the 29th July the
Empress left Miramar for her native country,
followed by the wishes of all who have the least
feeling of humanity."
