Later I had a visit from Clarita & Mme Bedmar. By working hard the messenger got off at 6 & we were all tired. After dinner Le Vicomte Cornide Portuguese Secy came & also Sr Monteverde the latter very much cut up abt the King’s departure—& indignant against the traitors—also against Sickles who helped to bring it about– He was received yesterday in state at the Presidencia by all the Ministers—2 regiments bands playing &c—& has a banquet tomorrow in honor of the Ministers.
