[831] Practically the whole of the correspondence relating to this affair has been removed from the archives des affaires étrangères in Paris. But in the volume marked “828 Espagne” the following unsigned and undated note is to be found:—“In the question of the Spanish marriages there was a private correspondence between the King and M. Bresson, and also between the latter and M. Guizot. After the death of the ambassador the minutes of his letters and the original answers of the King and of the minister (Guizot) were handed over to M. Guizot by his widow, and were carried off by him in February, 1848. But it is certain that Madame Bresson retained improperly a copy of this correspondence which her husband had made, and which it was her duty to return to the Foreign Office.” (M. Bresson committed suicide at Naples in November, 1847.)
