7 This letter, referred to by Mrs Carter, ante vol. v, p. 220, is quoted in part in The Paris Embassy during the Second Empire papers of 1st Earl Cowley [1928], p. 127. The parts there quoted are enclosed above in double brackets thus 〚…〛.

8 As will be seen (supra, No. 5) of 12 August Clarendon expected Cowley to communicate freely with Baron von Hübner, the Austrian representative at Paris. But, as Clarendon's copy was not sent till the 15th, supra No. 7, he could not have seen the text of the Agreement until the 16th or 17th. In his Mémoires (II, 44) Hübner wrongly asserts that Walewski signed it.
