A bill to interdict clubs has been again adopted without any attempt
at alteration. General Aupick is announced as the new ambassador to
Spain. Count Colonna Walewski, an illegitimate son of the Emperor
Napoleon, has reached the highest round of the diplomatic ladder by
being sent as ambassador to the Court of St. James. The _Pays_
announces that the question of Abd-el-Kader's captivity is on the
point of receiving a satisfactory solution. The committee charged to
examine the bill for the ratification of the treaties of La Plata is
disposed to propose simply the ratification of those treaties. At
Charente, recently, thirty-two adult Roman Catholics of both sexes, in
the presence of a numerous congregation, in the Protestant church,
publicly abjured the Roman Catholic and embraced the Protestant faith.
A measure introduced by M. de St. Beuve in the National Assembly for a
commercial reform, by modifying the present restrictive tariff, so as
to accomplish a gradual approach to free trade, had been rejected by a
majority of 428 to 199. M. Thiers on this occasion made a great speech
against free trade, which is much criticised by the English press. The
London _Times_ calls Thiers the evil genius of France.
The most recent commercial letters received from various parts of
France represent affairs as somewhat recovering from the gloomy
appearance they wore some days since. The manufacturers have received
numerous orders for the great fair of Beaucaire, which will be held in
July. The Bank of France has announced a dividend of fifty-five francs
per share for the first half year of 1851.
