As tensions in Europe between Britain and France rose once again, as well as between France and Prussia, Emperor Napoleon III ordered his ambassador in London to relay to British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston his wishes for peace in Europe and his assurances that France threatened no-one. He mentioned the difficulties in Italy concerning the Papal States and the incursion into Syria as attempts to preserve this peace. (By John Osborne)
