Erik Årup.
Onsdag Eftermiddag gik jeg
atter, efter hans Anmodning,
til ham, og nu sagde han mig
— han vidste dengang hvad
der var skeet i Staatsraadet —:
»Jeg har Grund til at antage,
at min Regjering ikke vilde
have fraraadet H. M. under de
nuværende Omstændigheder at
underskrive, ifald den havde
været opfordret til at give H. M.

Min Samtale med Paget
fortalte jeg først Kongen Torsdag
Eftermiddag Kl. 4 1/% — altsaa

of Your Lordship’s telegram
on Tuesday afternoon I sent
him a note asking him to call

Majesty’s Government
considered that the international
negotiations would be probably more
effectual if the signature of the
King to the constitution was
suspended until they were
concluded, they were nevertheless
very unwilling to interfere in
the matter. —
This communication was
evidently a relief to Monsieur
David’s mind. He said that
public feeling had now risen
