On the other hand, Earl of Clarion, who returned to the Foreign Ministry, also acted quickly. Under his orders, the subordinate telegraph office affiliated with the British Foreign Ministry sent Prime Minister Palmerston's orders via telegraph to the British Embassy in Paris.
The telegraph took only a few seconds to cross the British Channel and reach the British Embassy in France.
The telegraph operator, who had been stationed beside the telegraph machine for years, immediately perked up when he heard the familiar "tick-tock" sound. The dip pen in his hand continued to write every character represented by the telegram signal on paper.
After it stopped, the telegraph operator carefully checked the content of the telegram to prevent errors during transcription.
After reading the telegram, the operator nodded to the telegrapher beside him, then took the telegram alone and left the telegraph room.
