The new Minister of the Interior was, in 1861, one
of the many soldiers of fortune serving in Africa
who were brought to the notice of the Preident of
the Republic as men apt to be male ass of for the
accomplishment of the designs which had long been
in contemplation, and who were ordered home to be
reedy for the moment of action. General, then
Colonel, Espinosa" distinguished himself on the day
of the coop d'etat by turning the members of the
National Amenably out of their parliament house at
the point of the bayonet, and'by arresting General
Le Flo, with whom he bad dined the day before,
and whale hiding place, in case of need, he had on
that occasion learnt. For these acts he wee rewarded
early in 1832 by the commission of a general of
brigade. At the commencement of the war with
Russia he was appointed to the command of a divi-
sion of eavolry, and made that dimstrine reconnoi-
eines in the Dobrutscha which molted in the utter
annihilation of several regiments. Marshal fit.
Arnaud not being satisfied with his conduct cc that
occasion sent him home, but it is to be Frowned that
his explanations were satisfactory to the Emperor,
since his Majesty entrusted him with a command in
the Crimea, and at the conclusion of the war ap-
pointed him one of his aides-de-camp. Bine'
that time he his lived at the Tuileries,
and has been honoured by the pernesel friendship
and intimacy of the Emperor. This appointment
sufficiently explains the reasons for M. Billault's
retirement. In ceder to carry into effect through.
out the country the repressive measure which
is to be voted by the Corps Legislatif this week,
a minister wee required who should not be
not rely devoted to the cause of the empire, u M.
MBank was, but one altogether unfettered by par-
liamentary antecedent', and quite a stranger to any
constitutional or legal scruples which might inter-
fere with his freedom of action in the coarse
chalked out for him. It would be idle to speculate
upon General &plumes capacity for his new Aloe.
He never sat in any deliberative emenably ; near
held any civil oMoe, and is altogether without ad-
ministrative experience, except during a week in
the Dobratscha, when he certainly did not succeed
in providing food and forage for his soldiers and
horses. He is now the head of the highly centralieed
government of France. The prefects of all the
departments of the empire must take their Orden
from him. It is scarcely neeeesary to add that the
appointment ham produced a dieestieme effect
upon the public mind. The beet Minds et'
the government are appalled by it. That
no public man with the shadow of a claim to the
confidence of the country should have been found to
fill the most important civil office in France, but
that it should have been foetid neeemary to take a
mere and undistinguished soldier and courtier, is a
melancholy fact. The appointment is justly desig-
nated in many quarter' as equivalent to a declara-
tion of a state of siege. There is no instance
of a soldier having been made Minister
of Interior since the time of Osumi Gar-
not, the father of the present member far Per*
who held that office in the time of the fret umpire.
It is especially worthy of note that the present
minister is designated not only minister of the
intoner, but minister of " Public Safety"—a totally
SAW adjunct to the title. It is to be hoped that he
mug net be destined to become se famous as was the
Osemoittee of Public Safety" of ill-repute.
Omeral &pitmen is about forty-eix years of age.
Be is a native of Brittany. A few years ago he
met with an extraordinary accident, which has left
singular scare upon his face. He was giving a pities
et Misr to his horse, holding it between his teeth,
whin the animal bit him so severely that hie jaw
was injured, and several pieces were obliged to be
taken out.

There is a report that Marshal Valliant has re-
signed the ministry at war.
The appointimmt of the new Minister of the
Interior produced a bad effect at the Bonne, aad
counteracted the infuses, of a rise in Consols, sad
the easy state of the money market, both in Paris
and London. The Rents fell 15c. foe mak and 20s.
for account, closing at 69fr. 40c. and 69fr. 60c.
Mobilier fell 15fr. Railways won fees 2fr. 500. to
6fr. lower.

An individual, on whose person were bond papers
in cypher, was arrested a few days sines at Kehl,
and delivered up to the French authorities by the
Baden government. The iliescien of Strasburg
thinks that this individual Is no other thaa Nacsini,
but is at all events "quite cure that ha sag be a
demagogue and a conspirator."
