Washburne to P. S.—February 21, 1873. There is no longer any doubt of the complete accord between M. Thiers and the “commission of thirty.” Indeed, the friends of M. T. claim that he has got more than was demanded in what is known as the Dufaure proposition. It seems that the fraction of the commission known as the “center right,” consisting of the Duke de Broglie, the Duke d’Audriffet-Pasquiers, and others, united with the “left” and “center left” fraction and carried the proposition against the “right,” which was finally adopted. This action has had a good effect, and there was quite a “hausse” at the Bourse yesterday. E. B. W, February 21, 1873
