Public business debate drains House progress and gag fears
The House debated Chancellor of the Exchequer resolutions on public business conduct but made little headway. The motion to exclude foreigners was withdrawn after discussion. A fierce exchange over Committee of Supply amendments drew censure of the Ministry and complaints of gadfly governance, with a 40-132 92 vote against the government and the house adjourning near 2 AM.

Government presses new law amid siege and unrest in Paris
Reports from Paris describe the Interior Minister pushing a tightened press law to prosecute critics and ban papers across France during siege conditions.

In Antwerp, Comte de Chambord’s movement triggers arrests and street curfews, while Rome notes a fatal apoplexy of General Cugia. The Times also cites military action in India and foreign ideas stirring in Italy.
