EXAMINER, 16 DEC., 1832, P. 808

For the entry in Mill’s bibliography, see No. 181. The item, headed “London, December 16, 1832,” is listed as “Article on France” and enclosed in square brackets in the Somerville College set of the Examiner.

there seems reason to believe that something will, at last, be done by the French Government to relax the absurd restrictions upon the importation of English and other foreign commodities.¹

The Ministry have introduced most of the promised bills;² and, among others, the dreaded one for regulating the power of Government to declare a town in a state of siege. But as we have not yet seen the bills themselves, we defer till next week any particular notice of them.

[1 ]Projet de loi sur les douanes, introduced 3 Dec., debated 4-5 Dec. (Moniteur, 1832, pp. 2075-7 with the text on pp. 2084-5) would alter the provisions of the Corn Law, Bull. 462, No. 10886 (4 July, 1821), and the Customs Law, Bull. 91, No. 3076 (17 May, 1826).
