patched NJ. Lallard on a special mission to
Mexico lie was hurried to the palace,
whe, the Emperor said he wanted him to
set out without delay for Mexico with a
message from him to Macmillan that he
considered that he (Napo'eon) had fulfilled
all the obligations imposed on him, and that
the time had now arrived when Macmillan
must depend upon his own resources with
out the help Of the French army.
NJ. Pollard ASKED for some credentials.
but the Emperor observed that there was
not necessity for any documents. All he
had to do was simply to present to Max
imilian the convc, sation he had just had
that would suffice.
He recommended NJ. Pollard, moreover.
to lose time in setting out for Mexico, but
to depart by the first steamer.
