[59:2] On the Norwegian side they attach great praise to themselves for having given the King a few day’s grace in order to form a new Ministry. The Norwegian Cabinet also blame the King (Compare with [N:o 21]) for not having made use of this truce, and plainly imply hereby, that the King in fact abdicated of his own accord. The King replied to this by alluding to the Cabinets open threats (Compare with [N:o 19]) that the man who, after being warned by the King, dared to approach the King as adviser, from that moment lost his national rights; in other words, however the King might act, the Revolution would come. The King is therefore reproached for not endeavouring to form a new Ministry, after he had been threatened with the revolution if the attempt had shown any sign of success. How truly Norwegian!
