Guizot victory over opposition in Paris electoral motion
Paris reports show M. Guizot carried the day against extending the electoral franchise to professional men, defeating the motion 234 to 193. The debate exposed party fault lines, with many liberals lukewarm and some leftists wounded by M Daubaure’s stance, while Guizot argued for equality and warned against aristocratic monopoly among France’s 200,000 electors. The chronicle notes broader skepticism toward liberty and reform in the chamber.
