PARIS, TEINITAT Evxnixo.
Universal complaints are raised at the repeated
failures to knu a definitive cabinet ; but, when the
pretensiems of eimtending factions are so incompatible
and sta. it is not easy to fix the blame aright, or to
mettle how ninth in these ruptures of negotiation isdue
to intrigue, mid Mew much to divergency of principles.
It ineoneeivable that there could ever have been
any serious hope of dug-aging NI. de Maleville in the
new cabinet, when it is renumbered that he is oue of
the met utwomprombeing adherents of M. 'fhiers. and
therefore ut daggersdnewn with the El este. To-day we
learn, iu un official way, through the (Mire, what
were the conditions deefited indispensable by M. de
Make ilk, in order to conciliate his sere ices. Fould
and Baruch... were to he struck out of the new ministry.,
out of defervnee to the vote of coalition ; the law of
May was to remain entombed; the President was to
publish a message declaring his formal adhesion
mill cases to the anicks of the constitution,
disqualifying hint for reelection, and requiring a
majority ed three-tourths of the Amerably to sanction
rev isiou. There is nu doubt that a fourth condition,
stipulated by NI. de Maleville. was the reinstate-
ment of Gclietal CininglirOirt ut the Tuileries as
commander-in-chief of the unny of l'aris. Now
as it was easy to foresee that M. do Nlaleville would
have insisteef upon some of these conditions, the in-
ference is that proposals were laver made to him se-
riously. but nwrely to obtain an excuse for setting
aside the fresh combioation. Certain it is that on the
assn morning on which M. Odilon Barnet visited
M. de Malec ilk to leant his determination, he
Snout that this had been already signified to M.
Abuttwei. Thus no sooner is the ministerial structure
raised to a certain height than a puff of intrigue
blows it dowel again. The conflicting pretensions of
the ;'resident and the parliament exist in all their
original force. and not the least approximation to
an understanding has been talkied ou either side.
In the meanwhile, M. Guizot, on the one hand, and
Meek ou the other, are labouring to advance the
interests of fusion.- which the former is about to
advocate in the columns of the Assen46l,7 Nationalr.
and the Litter trying to reconcile with the renewal
of the Presidents powers.
In the Assembly's sitting of to-day, after the
adoption of the remaining clauses of the bill on hos-
pitals. M. Nloulin presented. in the name of the cent-
with(' appointed tor this purpose, a list of two can-
didates for the place of member of the Council of
State, left savant by the decease of M. Maearel.
These candidates arc M. Guizard, formerly prefect,
depute. president of the council of civil 'buildings,
and director of the fine tuts ; and M. de Langsdorf,
formerly minister plenipotentiary..
The Assembly then proceededto the debate on the
first readiug of the bill en the national guard. M.
Boysset, of the Mount a in, dwel t on the gra% e symptoms
of the political situation of the country, which arose, he
said, front resistants. to right and to fact. The right
was the republic, and the fact was democracy, while
the government exhibited a marked tendency towards
monarchical ideas. lie criticized the division of the
national guard into two services. the ordinary service
and the reserve. This was a blow indicted on the
principle of (-quality and a wrong towards the eiti-
sear excluded from the right of habitually carrying
an arm and of contributing to the election of officers.
M. Frcsocau supported the bill. He maintained
that the service of the national guard cannot, in jus-
tice, be imposed upon those, who would consider it
as a heavy burthen, any more than it can
be confided with safety to men of the
lath of May and of the days of June.
Prance will not hear of "right to the gun" any

more than of "right to work." M. Madier de
Montjau spoke in the same sense as :kl. Iloysiset.
ilia speech was long and vtlementi.y democratic.
M. do ltianeey. rtsporter, maintained the right of the
r•tate to organkc the public form. M. Colfavru then
mounted the tribune.

After having heard M\l. Colfavru and Lacrosse,
the Assembly voted by -''. It! against 206 that it should
proceed to a second deliberation.
The committee on the Avignon Railway has de-
cided that if the minister of public works should

P.S. Since writin the above I hear reports of the
proximate formation of a fresh cabinet. There has
been a considerable rise in the Woks at the Bourse,
which is attributed to this news. The Fires closed
