Sauzet, 



who, nevertheless, had only 1C votes above the bare 

 majority. On Friday the Chamber proceeded to the 

 election of the four Vice-Presidents. The same members 

 were chosen who were Vice-Presidents during last session. 

 They all belong to the conserva' party, and their 



election is therefore considered by their organs a further 

 triumph to the ministry. — A curious circumstance occur- 

 red in the Chamber on Saturday. M. Laffitte, the emi- 

 nent banker, who, as the oldest member present, presided at 

 all the preliminary sittings, yielded his place to M. Sauzet, 

 the definitive President. It is the Bevel custom for the pro- 

 visional President to address the house, on leaving the 

 r. M. Laffitte did ao, and in the course of his remarks 

 itrodaced some matters which were not altogether pleae* 

 in* to the Ministerial members, and the consequence was 

 that there were considerable murmurs in the house. M. 

 Sauzet then took the chair, and as is alao usual, he pro- 

 posed a vote of thanks to the "doyen d'age." There 

 was a great opposition and it was for some days doubtful 

 v the matter v hi terminate ; but ultimately a vote 

 Ofthankl to the lk Iiurcau Provisiorr," was carried with- 

 ut naming M. Laffitte. This is the first time such 

 marked disapprobation has been shown in a similar case. 

 M. Laffi' s speech was violently against the Govern- 

 ment, although he eo powerfully co-operated with the late 

 General Lafayette in placing the House of Orleans on the 

 throne. He said thatthe t ce which the country en. 

 joyed was but apparent, and that at its root lurked confu- 

 sion and anarchy, that the French people were really in 

 a state of complete disorganisation, and that venality and 

 rruption were the ruling principles of the Government. 

 Under these circumstances he said it was requisite to act 

 with caution. Tor fourteen years a stn ;ie had been 

 rairins between the Central and Local Powers, or in other 



words between Monarchy am! Democracy On Tuesday 



the Commission on the Address was appointed, when the 

 Ministerial party were in a majority of 7 to 2. The 

 selection of the commission was preceded by much dis- 

 ion. In the first, third, and fourth committees, of 

 which the Due deValmy and MM. Perrver and De 

 I rcy form part, it was proposed to insert in the 

 ire*s a paragraph, censuring the Deputies who have

 late Minister of Public Works, II. Teste. In Friday's 

 sitting, the commission on the address was "elected the 

 Due de Broglie being the reporter, and Count de Pontc- 

 couhnt the president. It is said that all the bureaux of

who according to the National owned that •„ „* • 



Due de Nemours made use of these wo.ds. The 

 tion however and the principal facts remain uncontradicW 

 — A letter from the island of Bourbon of the 1st SentatT 

 ber, published in the French papers, states that the 

 glish have taken possession of Diego Saurez, a magnified 

 port in the island of Madagascar. — The Royal Coartrf 

 Paris decided on Wednesday that an East Indian sis 

 as well as all other slaves recovered their liberty tH 

 moment they set their foot on the territory of France 

 The message of the President of the United States ku 

 attracted great attention in Paris and is generally eon. 

 demned. — The Marseilles papers state that several 

 Englishmen have followed the example of Lord BrougW 

 and purchased property in the neighbourhood of Cannet, 

 Gen. Taylor and Mr. Leader the late member for West, 

 minster are mentioned among the number, and it is addet* 

 that the latter gentleman is about to build a villa new 

 the estate of Lord Brougham. 



Spaix. — Accounts from Madrid of the 27th bring the 

 long-expected announcement of the dissolution of tbt 

 Cortes. This measure, which is regarded as another %\t% 

 towards absolute government on the part of the Cabinet, 

 is said to have been adopted on the 26th, and kept a pre 

 found secret until its communication to the Chambers, 

 The Government it appears was determined — 1st, to lert 

 without the legislative sanction the supplies necessary for 

 the wants of the Government ; 2dly, to publish a decres 

 on the Ayuntamientos and the Provincial Deputation 

 and another on the organisation of the National Guards- 

 and 3dly, having accomplished those objects, to convoke 

 again the Cortes and demand from them a bill of in- 

 demnity, and an approbation of measures which they had 

 considered it a duty to adopt for the welfare of the countrv. 

 Should the Cortes refuse to sanction them they are agafa 

 to be immediately dissolved. Great anxiety was felt as to 

 the effect the suspension of the sittings of the Cortei 

 would produce, the influence it would exercise over thc 

 provinces being the principal object of solicitude. Iq 

 Madrid some were demanding the immediate return of 

 Queen Christina, while id the meantime the old Liberal 

 party had re-united in opposition to Gen. Narvaez audbii 

 ministerial agent M. Gonzales Bravo. The leading Espar* 

 terists and the anti-Esparterist Liberals met on the 27th, 

 and both MM. Cantero and Caballero candidly avowed 

 the fault they had committed in overthrowing Espartero, 

 whom they described as the only man capable of savinr, 

 Spam at the present crisis. Stfior Oloznga lias takeo 

 refuge in Portugal, having entered Castello Branco on the 

 10th inst. The authorities immediately communicated 

 with the Lisbon Government, who despatched orders for 

 his reception with the attention due to his rank.— A 

 violent attack had been made on the office of a newspaper, 

 the Eco del Qitncrcio, which had given offence to the 

 partisans of Queen Christina. The assailants were mili- 

 tary officers, who destroyed the office and the type. The 

 outrage continued to attract universal attention at Madrid 

 on the 23d ult. In the Chamber of Deputies on that day, 

 M. Di;:z de las Navas and several other members ques- 

 tioned -Ministers as to the steps the Government hid 

 taken to discover and chastise those who had been guilty 

 of the devastation ; much confusion ensued, and a more 

 tormy scene would probably have taken place had not 

 the Minister for Foreign Affairs firmly refused to com- 

 municate for the present the results of the investigation, 

 which was actively proceeding. — By the Barcelona jour- 

 nals of the 26th we learn that Prim's troops opened their 

 fire on the 20th against Ametler's works, and kept it cp 

 on the 21st, when the besieged cannonaded the town. 

 On the 22d a suspension of hostilities took place, and a 

 commission of inhabitants of Reus ascended to the 

 fort in order it was said to negotiate a capitulation. 

 Baron de Meer arrived on the morning of the 23d, on 

 which day the attempt made to induce Ametler to sur- 

 render failed, Ametler having refused the terms of capitu- 

 lation offered. Further reinforcements had arrived, and 

 on the morning of the 24th the firing from the fort re- 

 commenced. It would appear to be the intention of the 

 Baron de Meer to prosecute the siege with vigour. 



Portugal.— From Lisbon we have the official an- 

 nouncement that S. Olozaga has taken refuge in Portugal, 

 and that the Chambers have again been summarily closed, 

 although nothing effective has been clone. The excite- 

 ment still continues throughout the wine districts, and 

 the farmers are uprooting their vines in various direc- 

 tions. Tranquillity generally prevails, although memo* 

 rials to the Queen to dismiss her Ministers have been 

 forwarded from both Oporto and Coimbra. 



Germany. — The King of Bavaria has commissioned 

 Dr. Pauli to proceed to England and Ireland for the pur- 

 pose of personally inspecting the atmospheric railroad, 

 and report his observations to the Bavarian Government. 

 — The state of Hungary does not appear to be very set- 

 tled. A meeting of 700 or 800 electors took place lately 

 at Agram, which was dispersed by the Government, and 

 the consequence was a collision between the Illyrians and 

 'he Magyars, in which some lives were lost. The Jews 

 of Presburgh recently announced their intention of giving 

 a public ball to celebrate the declaration of their muni- 

 cipal right?. The authorities however interfered, and 

 intimated to the Israelites that for the sake of their own 

 safety they had better desist from obtruding themselves 

 before the public, who might perhaps on provocation 

 take the law into their own hands. 



Italy. — Letters from Rome to the 26th ult. announce 

 the death of Cardinal Spada in his 56th year, and state 

 that the condition of the Pope's finances is very bad, and 

 the country in a wretched state ; but that notwithstanding 

 he is obliged to levy further imposts upon the people for 

 the purpose of increasing the army. The direct taxes 

 have been doubled throughout the states, and the cus-
