The Sun. — 1847-04-19 (London, England)

ESPARTERO. ()SOUL° has received a full pardon, and is reinstated in all his honours. The Madrid mail of the 12th had not arrived in Paris when the post left on Saturday.  We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The Jourwil des Dibats announce=, in what may be considered an official form, the appointment of the Duc DE BROGLIE as Ambassador to the Court of  London. The Bill authorising the Bank of France to issue notes of the value of 200 f. has passed the Chamber of Deputies by a large majority, the amendment of M. LEON FAUCHER (proposing to authorise the issue of notes of 100 f.) having been previously rejected. The announcement which appeared in the Patrie of 'Wednesday, of the execution of the three persons convicted of rioting at Buzan9ais, was, it appears, premature. The execution was to be delayed until Friday, according to the National. The Siecle expresses a hope that this delay may be favourable to the convicts. It says— " The evening journals of Wednesday announced positively, and one of them, the Patric, with the most circumstantial details, the execution of the three unfortunate persons condemned to death for the affair at Buzancais. This news has been repeated as certain by most of the morning journals. The 1) bats itself, which ought to have been better informed, reported that the execution took place on the 12th, in the public market place at Buzancais, amidst a prodigious concourse of people from the environs, adding that there was a great display of military force from Bourge, Nevers, and Chateauroux. Notwithstanding all this, the magistrates, who have seats in the Chamber, and who, by reason of their special position, have been called upon to follow all the phases of this deplorable affair, declared yesterday that the sentence upon the condemned men at Buzancais had not been executed. We hope that this happy delay, which has allowed the Government time to appreciate the unanimous feelings of the public, will save these unfortunate men, who certainly were very guilty, and who would have no claim to pity, if their crime had not, in a degree, sprung from the popular agitation excited by the apprehension of famine. Our intention, as we trust our readers, will conceive, is not to extenuate the crime of murder, which has been committed. We have respected, even in all its rigour, the decree of justice. But can the shedding of blood on the scaffold expiate the blood of the victim?" The Moniteur publishes a royal ordonnance appointing in the department of Public Works a general committee on railways. This committee is divided into four sections : first, that of lines of direction ; secondly, the working in a scientific point of view; thirdly, the working in a commercial point of view; and, fourthly, the regulations. Each section is to be consulted, according to the nature of its attributions, on such questions as belong to it. The Speech of the King of PRUSSIA on the opening of the States-General is the subject of comment in almost all the Paris papers of Saturday. The Constitutionnel draws the following curious parallel between the opening of the States-General of France in 1789, and those of Prussia in 1847: " Prussia gives at this moment a curious and solemn spectacle to the rest of Europe. The States-General have just been opened at Berlin, as the States-General of France were opened in 1789. There, too, is a King beloved by the nation, who, influenced by the liberal movement of his century, takes the initiative of this convocation. The Assembly is also divided, in nobles, who for the most part believe in equality, and in citizens, who have the sentiment of their rights. The first questions propo-ed by the royal power are questions of finance ; Out the Assembly seems pre•cecupied above all by the desire to assure and develop the liberties of which it takes possession. Around the States a nation of writers, of controversialists, of thinkers, discuss natural and histo• rical rights, the origin of the powers, and the best con stitution. These similarities, although they are more apparent than real, and although there are very profound differences between the two nations, the two periods, and the two sovereigns, do not the less appear to have caused a very profound impression on the mind of the King of Prussia. The speech which he delivered on the opening of the States seems altogether inspired by aversion for liberal French principles, by the terrible remembrance of the Constituents and Louis
