M. Leon Faucher is once more charged with the
formation of a definitive cabinet. My information
is to the effect that the mimes of Fould and
Baroche had been withdrawn, and would be re-
placed by representatives of the same party,
the club of the Rue des Pyramidcs, but
the following nominations of a new ministry are
in the Patric, and, it is said, will be published in
the Monitcar of to-morrow M. Baroche, Foreign
Affairs; M. ltouhcr, Justice; M. Fould, Finance; M.
Leon Faucher, Interior; M. Buffet, Commerce;
General Bandon, War ; M. Magne, Public Works;
11. du Crouscilkes, Instruction ; M. Chasseloup I.:tu-
ba, Marine."
There is a gnat deal of alarming talk afloat about
the prospects of an emeote, and desperate armed
struggle lwfore the summer is over. I must confess
that I du nut in the least partake these fears ; for I
am persuaded that on the one hand the socialists will
find no autficient support fur such an outbreak
in the national feeling, unless provoked by a coup
titan, and that, on the other hand, those who are ,
fora coup tretat will find themselves in far too small
a minority to dare to attempt anything of the kind.
The alarming talk proceeds from an agitation to
form a party fur the extra-legal revision of
the constitution; and it will be hushed in
proportiou as the well-intentioned men of the agi-
tating party, including the club of the Rue des
15 monies, become aware that by pushing their
manieuvrt•s to extremes. they will plunge
the country into that state of disorder to
prevent a nick they desire the prolongation of j
the President's powers. It becomes daily more
obvious that the legality party. which is iu fact a
coalition of men having separate objects, is getting
the upper hand. The fractions of the coalition
meet upon this Fround of present allegiance to
the constitution, just as the fractions of the As-
sembly and of the nation at large, whatever
the diversity of their opinions, meet upon the
ground of the republic. %When Thiers, Lamartine,
l)ufuure, Cavaignite, the Mountain, Larochejacque-
lin. Berryer, all say the law must be respected, and
stick to that. however praiseworthy the exertions of
Leon Faucher, %troche, Montulembert, and others
rallied round the Elysiy, to organise a party
for me iuiun a tout pros, it is obvious that
such exertions cannot lead to any result
but failure. Hence. despite the Patric, I am dis-
posed to believe that M. Leon Faucher will be once
more defeated in his attempts to form a cabinet, and
that in the end the views and services of Odilon
'bang and Itufaure must be accepted. The
policy of these would be at once to conjure
down the storm which threatens France in 1852
from the exasperated opposition which the electoral
law of May meets with throughout the country from
the democratic part).
The event which has been most talked of during
the day is an article in the Comidirtionas,, attacking
Odilon Barrot. M. °ranter de Cassagnac, the writer,
is the sword. as it were, of M. Fould, who opens
with a golden key the columns of certain papers
to the expression of his humour. Being at the pre-
sent moment greatly exasperated against M. 0.
Barrett, he has found in the slashing pen of the former
editor of the Epoque an apt instrument to wreak his
spiteful mood.
• To-day. iu the committee on the Avignon Railway,
the prop esition of M. Ranci was opposed by MM.
Oouin and Odium. M. Boner declared that ha
would apply to the Assembly to refer to the com-
mittee the bill depmed yesterday by the government,'
as well as all the other propositions.
To-day the Assembly war occupied with discus,iag
the credit of 200,1100 fr. demanded for the Mehra,-
tion of the 4th of May. M. Noel Parfait ridiculed the
puerile and absurd tinsel upon which the public
money was wasted, and proposed that the Assembly
should go in a body with the constituted authorities
and the people to the column of the Bastille,and there
proclaim an amnesty in favour of the convicts of June.
Ilia motion having been rejected, the bill was
adopted by 45`J against 83. The Assembly then re-
sumed the debate on the Moots-de-Ptiti
The expul of the French refugees has not been
executed in the canton of Geneva.
The funds were stationary.
