XLVIII. Idéologie

XLVIII. Ideology

The Swiss Diet opens in Zurich, Lord Palmerston attacks the Anglo-French slave-trade treaty, and Barcelona revolts against conscription.

Burgomaster Furrer opened the Swiss Diet in Zurich on 7 July, warning that a third federal session in one year signals an alarming state of affairs and urging conciliation between warring political factions.
Lord Palmerston told the House of Commons that Cuban slave-traders had opened a subscription to have England attacked in the French press, and that the new Anglo-French treaty abolishing the right of search surrendered 52 jointly-warranted patrol vessels for no equivalent.
Conscription riots erupted simultaneously across at least eight towns near Barcelona — at Badalona two agents were killed, at Terrassa the alcalde was assassinated, and at Sabadell a crowd of 2,000 armed Espartero supporters lost 25 dead when General Concha's column dispersed them.
The Paris Chamber of Peers heard an interpellation from Prince de la Moskowa on an alleged massacre of Arab prisoners in the Dahra, Algeria; Marshal Soult said he was awaiting full reports but declared the government 'unreservedly disapproves' of the act.
Former U.S. President Andrew Jackson died aged 78, according to American newspapers of 17 June received in Paris.

The Paris Court of Appeals ruled there was no ground to prosecute Rosemond de Beauvallon over the fatal duel with journalist Alexandre Dujarier, co-proprietor of La Presse; the case is expected to go to the Cour de Cassation.

A court rescinded Lamartine's publishing contract with M. Béthune after the promised company — whose backers included Émile de Girardin and the estate of the slain Dujarier — failed to pay the opening instalment of 50,000 francs for the Histoire des Girondins.

Historian François Mignet published Antonio Perez et Philippe II, drawing on a Foreign Ministry manuscript to prove beyond doubt the liaison of Philip II's favourite with the Princess of Éboli — a point previously disputed by Ranke.
