FRENCH NEWS [88]

EXAMINER, 16 FEB., 1834, P. 106

This article is headed “London, February 16, 1834.” For Mill’s bibliographic entry, see No. 226. In the Somerville College set of the Examiner, the item is listed as “Article on France,” with one correction: at 684.26 “Laquette” is altered to “Laguette”.

the bill introduced by the French Government, and mentioned in our last paper, on the subject of the political publications sold in the streets, has passed the Chamber of Deputies with alterations.1 That part of the Bill by which hawkers were required to take out a license from the police, which the police at its pleasure might revoke, has been adopted, and the penalties for its infringement actually increased. On the other hand, the provisions subjecting cheap publications to a stamp-duty, have been struck out. Thus far, therefore, the Chamber has not verified our forebodings.

M. Dupont de l’Eure has been induced by affliction for the fate of his near relative and friend, M. Dulong,2 as well as by the disappointment of the hopes which he entertained in common with so many others from the Revolution of 1830, to resign his seat in the Chamber of Deputies. This loss, therefore, must be added to those which the Chamber sustained from the same feelings of discouragement last year; by the resignation of two of its worthiest members—MM. Thouvenel and Laguette Mornay.
