88 Dr. John Coleman<br />

Only <strong>the</strong> evil-minded would suspect some connection<br />

between <strong>the</strong> advantageous personal loans made by <strong>the</strong><br />

Rothschilds to <strong>the</strong> Chancellor. All court functions lead to<br />

new business especially when it has to do with Austria. If<br />

James should be appointed in Paris, he could, God<br />

willing, take charge of everything related to <strong>the</strong><br />

liquidation of <strong>the</strong> debt owed by France to Austria, since<br />

<strong>the</strong> Consul would be allowed to treat with <strong>the</strong> King in<br />

person. {Souvenirs Augustus de Fremilly, page 232,<br />

1908)<br />

In trying to establish a pattern of powerful Jews<br />

attempting to use <strong>the</strong>ir influence at international<br />

conventions, The Conference of Aix la Chapelle in 1818<br />

was also confronted with uninvited Jewish<br />

representatives. Lewis Way, an English clergyman, acted<br />

as <strong>the</strong> Jewish mouthpiece, and introduced a petition to<br />

<strong>the</strong> Conference advocating Jewish emancipation in<br />

Europe. Jewish influence in <strong>the</strong> 1856 Congress of Paris<br />

and <strong>the</strong> 1858 Congress of Paris is evident in <strong>the</strong> work of<br />

both meetings. It does not appear that that Jewry was<br />

permitted official representation at ei<strong>the</strong>r of <strong>the</strong>se two<br />

conferences. (Olivia Maria O' Grady)<br />

That did not sit well with <strong>the</strong> Rothschilds who <strong>the</strong>n<br />

demanded more and more from those <strong>the</strong>y held in <strong>the</strong>ir power.<br />

After receiving titles of barons and consuls, <strong>the</strong>y now desired<br />

more visible signs of <strong>the</strong>ir power to be displayed.<br />

Their "love of distinctions" was immoderate to say <strong>the</strong><br />

least. Von Gentz was instructed to let <strong>the</strong> public know that medals<br />

and ribbons were being granted to <strong>the</strong>m, and to advertise <strong>the</strong> fact:<br />

"Salomon von Rothschild and his bro<strong>the</strong>r in Paris have received<br />

<strong>the</strong> order of Saint Vladimir in recognition of loans negotiated for<br />

Russia."
