Ottoman Diplomats

Synopsis

Glavany praises France for its zeal to solve all political and social problems. For the new elections, all candidates were new and had equal chances. At All Saint’s Day there had been no demonstration at the cemetery of Montmartre, but Glavany foresees a conflict to arise in the future. He notes that it was out of fear for the terror of the streets that the French parliamentary debates kept being postponed. In Spain, the election of the Duke of Genoa to the throne could not be assured yet, because of a rupture between the unionists and the progressists. Moreover, the Italian press seemed to disapprove of the election of the Duke of Genoa, Prince Tommaso. Glavany explains the problems, as well as Spain’s convictions and motives. In Prussia it became clear how the new Minister of Finance wanted to solve the deficit. The news about Bismarck’s return had been refuted. Glavany seemed surprised and critical about the recent developments: the Prussian Chambers / Houses of Representatives seemed to become more and more provincial, and the Schleswig deputation had been treated discourteously.
