Synopsis

Glavany reports that almost all European parliaments were on parliamentary leave, except the British one. The Times noted that the government wanted to continue the debates about the amendments on the bill on the abolishment of state religion in Ireland. Glavany praises the House of Lord’s courtesy and consideration in trying to achieve a solution that respects the principles and scruples of both sides. By its attitude of compromise and conciliation, the House of Lords seemed to have averted the imminent crisis, and the bill would thus turn into a law. About France, Glavany remarks that the Senate was worried about the constitutional reforms. It had never received a reprimand, but according to the public opinion, the Senate had closed its eyes for too long and now had to prove itself. In Spain, some Carlist gangs have been defeated, while there were still some agitations reported in other regions. Glavany seems optimistic about the situation in Spain, that was not alarming yet.
