France Crowned by Rumors of Thiers Cabinet Formation
Detailed foreign intelligence notes describe possible ministry shakeup in Paris led by Louis Philippe and M. Thiers, with Soult, Guizot, Duchatel, and Passy named in a possible cabinet.

The report also recounts a Naples event in which the singer Nourrit’s memorial was honored and a rural fable of a fisherman’s lost money returning in a bag of coins.
