In the Chamber of Deputies to-day the three
treaties of commerce with France were adopted by
264 against 13. The minority was entirely com-
posed of Roman Catholic members. The votes were
taken by calling out the names of the respective
deputies.

The Minister of Finance thanked the Chamber
in the name of the Government for their great un-
animity and the respect paid to the wishes of the
Goveinment. He hoped that great benefit would
come from this important measure of peace. The
Government of the King would continue to pursue
the course upon which it had entered. Fresh proofs
cf the unity prevailing among the people were never
wanting when the honour of Prussia was in ques-
tion.
