Ottoman Diplomats

Synopsis

Glavany explains the new rights received by the reformed French Senate. He states that if these new rights of the parliament did not manage to give to France its much needed liberties, only the parliament would be to blame now. According to Glavany, the universal suffrage was meant for the people to make the representatives satisfy their demands. This did not mean, however, that progress had been fully achieved. Unofficial papers noted that they were only halfway. Glavany describes the remarks of the French press about the reforms that had to go beyond the existing ones, as the senatus consultum did not meet all the people’s demands? Nor would it fully lead to liberty. About Spain, Glavany reports that, for the first time, ex-Queen Isabella II wanted to consider her friends’ suggestion to abdicate in favour of her son Alfonso, the Prince of Asturias. From the Journal de la France, Glavany deduced that the men of importance in Madrid accepted this as a solution for the crisis, which could lead to protestations from marshal Serrano and Don Juan Prim. Furthermore, the Carlist gangs had not been defeated yet, and there were rumours about a transference of Cuba.
