1502-1504. ■^ Bell's WeeUy Messenger, according to Maclean. 206 NAPOLEON'S BRITISH VISITORS rebuked Talleyrand for allowing English newspapers to reach ' a large number of persons ' by being addressed under cover to the Foreign OflSce,^ and Galignani's newly opened reading-room must have undergone un- foreseen restrictions. When the war broke out Napoleon repeated his order that reading-rooms should be allowed only one particular English paper, which was supphed them gratuitously. Madame de R6m...usat says he had, however, largely subsidised English journalists and writers, apparently to little purpose, but this may be considered an exaggeration. Galignani's Monthly Re- pertory of English Literature, started in 1807, did not compensate for the absence of newspapers. Even the Morning Post, though siding with France, was not admitted. As long as the Argus lasted the captives were fain to subscribe to it, for 'infamous' as Forbes styles it, it gave copious extracts from the London press, but in 1810 Napoleon suppressed it, and the prisoners became dependent on the meagre and carefully manipulated intelligence of the Paris papers.
