XV. Number 34 and Number 27
The France-Morocco peace treaty and O'Connell's Irish Repeal movement dominate this issue, alongside a diamond theft trial in Paris.
- The Journal defends the Franco-Moroccan peace treaty, noting that Tangier and Mogador were bombarded, Marshal Bugeaud defeated the Arabs, and England remained a mere spectator throughout both the war and the peace.
- Daniel O'Connell told the Dublin Repeal Association that the planned second Clontarf monster meeting is unnecessary, provoking fury among Young Ireland leaders who accuse him of cowardice and treachery.
- Berlin's Fine Arts Exhibition opened with 1,496 works by 811 artists — nearly all German, but including five Frenchmen: Horace Vernet, Ary Scheffer, Gudin, and two others — drawing so many foreign visitors that a Danish princess could find only a modest hotel room.
- Anti-Jesuit riots in Verviers, Belgium saw 500–600 workers march on the homes of local notables singing patois songs of 'Down with the Jesuits!'; police were stoned and one officer was wounded in the shoulder.
- Valet François Sigogne stands trial at the Seine Assizes for the 1842 theft of a diamond parure worth 50,000 francs from Lady Corbett at the Place Vendôme — the case revived when the stolen silverware surfaced in the trunk of a man arrested for a separate murder.
- A washerwoman's boat moored on the Rhône in Geneva suddenly sank, engulfing all its occupants; by the evening of 14 September the full death toll was still unknown.
- M. Boissonade's Anecdota Nova, drawn from manuscripts in the Bibliothèque du Roi, publishes 172 unpublished letters of Byzantine scholar Nikephoros Choumnos alongside correspondence of Emperor Manuel II Palaiologos, illuminating Greek literary life in the 12th–14th centuries.
