General Baron Fagel, my old friend, was a man of spirit, wise, capable, impartial and deeply devoted to King Wil- liam I, whose mistakes, however, he de- plored. He thanked me profusely for having used such firm and truthful language, which he judged was of a nature to make an impres- sion on the King; although he did not con- ceal his fear that my words might have no result on the King's indecision of spirit, whose blindness the General so much regretted. 43 THE EVENTS OF 1830 The situation in... France, was, at this time, becoming threatening, although this was perceived by only a small number of men accustomed to reflect in a dispassionate manner, free from that party spirit which ever leads people astray. There were only two men in the foreign diplomatic service at Paris who foresaw the danger hovering over the throne and society. Nor were they able to understand the danger, but they had suspicion of what it was, and were computing beforehand its serious consequences. One of these was the Russian Ambas- sador, Pozzo di Borgo, (a Corsicanby birth, ) and a shrewd man of brilliant mind.
