France and Spain debate on search rights and diplomacy
The Chambers of Peers and Deputies in France again debated the right of search over the treaty with England, with opponents denouncing it as English attempts at sea sovereignty. Guizot argued France shared in framing the treaty, though he could not pledge future conduct. Concurrently in Spain, the Ayuntamientos law project advanced in the Senate after deputies approved extraordinary credits, while diplomacy with Madrid saw M. de Cazes formally presented to the regent and relations with France described as improving. A censure vote tied to the regent’s capitalization contract failed, and reports from Buenos Aires warned Rosas faced military pressure from two provinces yet pursued terror, risking a regional crisis. Descriptions of a destructive Steyr fire and other assorted notices followed, including a seizure for church rates, Monarchic plantation burns, and society meetings on infidelity and socialism.
