PARIS, WIDNZADAY, 11 A.M.
After muck hesitation, as it appears, the govern-
ment yesterday at a cabinet council resolved to sup-
port by all its available means the amendment to the
article of the constitution respecting the election of
the president, to be proposed by M. Flocoo, which is
to the following effect : "The National Assembly
delegates the executive power to a citizen who shall
receive the this of Preaident of the Republic."
The government has, therefore, taken up de-
finitively its position in direct hostility to the
' moderate party in the chamber and to the known ma-
jority
of the nation. The avowed reason of depriving
the nation of the right of appointing its president is
that the government knows that its choioe would be
not at all in amordanos with the wishes of the ultra;
democratic party.
Measures are being taken to strengthen the defences
of the Invalides by mounting an increased number of
guns on the terraces which surround it. General Le
Breton, charged with this defence of the Palace of the
Assembly, has informed the Minister of War that he
cannot answer for its safety in case of an attack with-
out three benefices in addition to the troops which
already occupy it.
We read in the Monastic dm &ir:—" The reports
which have been current respecting the place desig-
nated for the n • ' on the Italian question,
are preesattue. seat of the conference is not yet
fixed, and, in any cue, it is certain that it will not be
Insprock."
" It was whispered yesterday at the Assembly,"
says the Fafnir, " that a new ministerial combination,
admitting MM. Dothan, Leon de Malleville, Da-
vergier de Hamm», and de Fallon:, was on foot.
It was stated that the President of the Council had
offered the Ministry of the Interior to M. Dufaure."

PRUSSIA.—The Berlin papers, of Oct 2 have
reached us. Much speculation prevails in the political
circles of Berlin respecting the way in which the go-
vernment will act with reference to the somewhat impe-
rative order, transmitted trom the central executive, to
recall all the ambassadors and ministers at foreign
emits, in order that they may be repleoed by, or re-
appointed is, the repreesniativee of the empire—in
, other worde, of tbe Vicar. It need not be stated here
I that the Premien government has rot always lent a
willing ear to, or readily acquiesced in, the
instructions, or it may be the orders emanating
from Frankfort; of late, however, there has
been a better understanding, and the recent
energetic measures of the central executive with
regard to the republican insurrections in Frankfort,
Baden, and Wurtemberg, have given much satisfao-
don in certain high quarters in Petunia. The Consti-
tutional Club has demented, in very warm terms, the
recent violent attempt to put down the Frankfort
Constituent Assembly.
The Poles in Peen, Bander, and other places, are
still quietly carrying on their plans for a restoration
of their nationalit7. In the first earned town, how-
ever, the authorities have refused their sanction to the
establishment of a " Polish league." At a species of
congress held in Banger the Poles resolved to dis-
continue, far the future, all intercourse with the Ger-
mane, whether Christians or Jews, and to deal only
with their oan countrymen. The president of the
province of Posen, Herr Von Bearmann, has issued a
circular to all the police and municipal authorities of
the province warning them against a " probable" in-
surrection of the Poles, and miring them to memeet
with the military respectiag the measures to be taken
in the event of disturbanoes arising.
Up to the 30th ult there have been 1,704 eases of
shams in Berlin, 1,012 of which terminated fa-
tally, 302 are reported as cared, and 890 still
