EXAMINER, 5 JAN., 1834, P. 840

This paragraph is headed “London, January 5, 1834.” For Mill’s bibliographic entry, see No. 226. In the Somerville College set of the Examiner, the article is listed as “Article on France”; none of Mill’s articles in 1834 is enclosed in square brackets. This first issue of the Examiner for 1834 was misnumbered by the printer, pp. [833]-848; the pagination began anew with each year, and Mill has renumbered the pages in ink, [1]-16, this article coming on p. 8.

the french chamber of deputies has re-elected M. Dupin its President, and Messrs. de Schonen, Benjamin Delessert,¹ Etienne, and Béranger its Vice-presidents, as before. This betokens, as everything does, a Session exactly resembling the last. M. Dupin had 220 votes: the greatest number next to this was 39, for General Lafayette. These 39, together with the General himself, indicate 40 as the number of republicans in the Chamber. A few votes were given to M. Dupont (de l’Eure), and a few to M. Odilon Barrot; the remainder of the non-republican opposition, (the opposition dynastique, as they are now called,) a party which is sinking every day into greater insignificance, voted with the ministry and the tiers-parti for M. Dupin.

[1 ]The election was on 24 Dec. (see Moniteur, 1833, p. 2494). Jules Paul Benjamin Delessert (1773-1847), philanthropist, botanist, and banker, had been a deputy since 1817.
