. edtdertpt- LONDON, MONDAY, DEC. 17. Three o'clock, p.m. BY EXPRESS. The Monileur of Saturday, contains an ordinance of the King for the appointment of a new Adminis tration. It is as follows " ROYAL ORDINANCE. " Louis, by the grace of God, &c. ‘i We have ordered, and do order as follows : " The Sieur Peyronnet, member of the Chamber of Deputies, is appointed Minister Secretary of State for the department of Justice and Keeper of the Seals.

" The Marquis de Clermont Tonnerre, Peer of France, Minister Secretary of State for the Depart ment of the Marine.

Our Minister Secretary of State for the Depart ment of our Household is charged with the execution of the present ordinance. 1 • Given at Paris, from the Castle of the Tuil!c ries. Dec. 14, in the year of grace 1821, and 27th of oar reign. (Signed) LOUIS. (By order of the King) LAURISTON, g. Minister Secretary of State fur the Royal Household." By a private letter which acompanied the express, we are enabled to communicate some of the pro ceedings which took place previous to the nomina tion of the new Cabinet. The renter hal fallen on Friday to 85f, sc. " Pants, DEC. 15—Yesterday night, after much hesitation on the part of M. Villele, and a great deal of negotiation, the Ministry was finally settled. M. Villele refused to be a Member of a Ministry of which M. de Blacas I.hould be chief. The Duke de Richelieu had proposed to the King, that M. de Blacas should be his successor, and the courier was even despatched to bring the latter from Rome, no doubt being entertained that he would be acceptable to his colleagues. M. de Villele, however, who is to he the real and efficient President, strongly ob- jected to his appointment, and refused to act under him. The list which the Dvl:e de Richelieu gave in yesterday was therefore opened anew, the King Raping to M. De Ville "Ma faiteo dune le 31inis tere mus memo." The new Minister obeyed the call, and the result was the list you have in the Moniteur. To day there is to be an important debate in the Chamber of Deputies, at which the new Ministers will attend. It is supposed that the law on the cen sorship, which demands the continuance of that oppression for five years more, will now be w ith drawn. The new Ministry will be obliged to pay this homage to the small constitutional party on the right side, which overturned the old Ministry, and • opened the door for them to office. A mail fromTurkey,brinaing letters from Constan tinople to the 11th November, has arrived. They State that a communication has been received from Russia by the Divan, which was supposed to con tain the ultimatum of the • cabinet of St. Petersburgh. Nothing had tsanspired `reslu•ctittg its nature. The answer of the Turkish government had not, libwever, been given ; and it was undersized that it would not b e m a d e wi.hout the sanction of the English and Austrian Ambassadors to its contents. Much acti vity prevailed in the Divan, where frequent confe rences had been held; and the letters say that some of the ministers of state have been deposed. The Turkish fleet was still at the Dardanelles, and the Admiral had repaired to Constantinople, THE NATIONAL REGISTER LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'.
