Treaty on share before the Warrant was issued. It then struck me that possibly the change of the Government in France and the consequent change in the Company might have had something to do with making it no longer valid. After the Treaty two Policemen came on board with a disposition to leave me in possession of the vessel, the Captain saying that he would put the chain on the buoy and order the steams to be blown off. But at this moment an Officer arrived from the French Man of War "Alma" and after having seen the position of affairs, ordered the Captain to proceed on his voyage.

The French Consul, the Agent for the Messageries, the Captain, and another tall French Gentleman, whose name I do not know and who had taken a very prominent part in the matter throughout, remonstrated with the Officer from the Alma and pointed out that the vessel was in possession. He repeated his Orders to the Captain to proceed, saying that the two Policemen were not sufficient to stop the ship; I said I did not consider the two sufficient, I must call up more. He replied "you will have to see more if you force it."
