France concludes negotiations with Rome over the Jesuits, while Indian politics and Falasha Jews of Abyssinia draw attention.

After six months of secret diplomacy, envoy Pellegrino Rossi secured Pope Gregory XVI's order that all 22 Jesuit houses in France be closed and their novitiates dispersed.
In British India, the 21st Regiment of Madras Native Infantry lost 300 men to cholera in a matter of days during a change of garrison, while cholera has killed millions since emerging from the Hooghly swamps 26 years ago.
Chandu Lal, the 98- or 120-year-old minister who governed Hyderabad for half a century and was styled 'the Metternich of the Deccan,' died on 12 April; his body was burned on a sandalwood pyre to artillery salutes.

The entire French royal family, including the King and Queen, relocated from Neuilly to Trianon, while Chancellor Pasquier hosted a grand soirée to celebrate his nephew's wedding in the chapel of the Chamber of Peers.

A merchant found strangled with his hands bound on the road to Stettin had in fact hanged himself from a post, arranged by a friend to look like murder so his family could collect 10,000 écus in insurance.
Near Pau, a Spanish refugee officer slashed his sleeping comrade's throat with a razor in a wood near Lembeye, then fled; the victim, unable to speak, identified his attacker by writing with a pencil.

Explorer Antoine d'Abbadie reports that the Falashas of Abyssinia, who call themselves exiles from Jerusalem, observe the Sabbath so strictly they speak only in whispers after dawn on Saturday and have their cows milked by Christians.

A joint French-English scientific commission is preparing an archaeological expedition to Mexico and Central America to excavate sites such as Palenque, dubbed 'the American Thebes,' building on finds that surpassed even those at Nineveh.
