Paris Journals Debate Slavery Pact and France Steam Navy
The Paris press discusses Lord Palmerston’s stance on the slave trade amid a treaty with the Imaam of Muscat and reports France’s rapid naval modernization. Ten steamers are commissioned to form Atlantic lines and coast patrols, led by vessels such as Le Caraibe and Le Deimas, while other ships, sailings, and armed vessels are listed for African stations. The issue of Brazil’s slave trade, rights on piracy, and English enforcement are debated, with warnings on international law and power dynamics.
