PARIS, SATURDAY, MALY-PAST 6 P.Y.
M. &rode is gasetted this morning as Minister
of theist/tier, vice M.Ferdiaand Barret, who retiree.
The latter takes the embassy at Turin, M. Lucien
Murat going to Constantinople in the room of General
Aepick, who is recalled. M. de Hoyer takes the nod
of Proesn ur-General vacated by M Earache. Taus
ends the ministerial crisis—the President falling no:
from Charybdis to Scylla, bat do Barret en Earache,
a remit which is proclaimed to be decidedly baroque,
riglice, absurd.
Mach more mighty changes than those which have
at last come about were at first contemplated. On
Thursday, as I informed you, all the chiefs of the ma-
jority met and conferred, and in the evening they
were cared to the Elyse*. MM. Mole, Thieve,
Montalembert, Berryer, St. Priest, Changarnier, De
Broglie, were present. M. de Montalembert declared
that the time had come for all parties to unite for the
defence of society : that a ministry ought to be formed
into which would enter MM. Melt, niers, and Bey-
Tree. M. Mole said he was ready to accept office if
MM. Thieve and Berryer joined him. The President
agreed to take a ministry thus formed.
M. Thieve at first hesitated, *milked of his health;
bat, giving way to motives of public good, he declared
himself ready to take office, in consideration of the
gravity of circumstances. M. Berryer, however, met
the offer of Louis Napoleon by a decided refusaL He
said that his entrance into a ministry would be, as it
were, a defiance against the republic, and a signal fur
civil war ; and he was unwilling, on his part, to pro-
voke such a struggle. M. Berryer was supported in
his view of the question by the Doke de Broglie and
M. de St. Priest, and could not be moved from it
by all the persuasion of M. Mootalembert.
In fact and in truth M. Sawyer would not take so
patent an oath of allegiance and attachment to Louis
Napoleon, as becoming his minister would signify, M.
Berryer being too honest to ac apt such a poet, in
order to betray the republic and the personage who
appointed him to it.
Seeing the impossibility of forming a cabinet with
the parliamentary chiefs, the President refused his
consent to have ace chosen front amongst their friends,
and said that the only modification he could consent
to was that of the portfolio of the interior. The quer
Son then arose as to who should succeed M. Barret,
and it was proposed to appoint M. Rouber,
giving M. Baroche the past of minister of justice.
Ultimately, however, the change took place as I have
told you.
By a telegraphic despatch, received yesterday, it
appears that the two conservative candidates who had
been elected for the Haut Rhin were MM. Deltas and
Migeon; not de Berkhelm, as was at first stated.
The announcement of M. de Barrel, the moderate
candidate, having been elected for the here, turns out
to be incorrect ; it is M. Dupont (de Bogue) : but, oa
the other hand, M. Angle'., the moderate candidate
for the Loire, has been returned, thus makin_t: the
number of conservative candidates who have obtained
seats hitherto filled by socialists eleven, as at first
stated. The socialist candidates returned for the Haut
Rhin with the conservative candidate, M. Daus
and M. Migwo, is M. Keatner, who had 44,682
votes, M. Dolfus 44,202, and M. Migeon 43,763.
The other socialist candidates had also rather large
numbers. In nearly all the rural cantons the majo-
rity for the moderate candidates was very large, thus
showing that socialism has made no pr?gress among
the peasantry of that department. At Mulhouse, on
the contrary, the socialist had a majority of nearly
sto 1. In the Haute Vienne M. Battaille, the made-
rate candidate, lost his election by less than 3,000.
He had 26,651 votes, of which 675 were from the
army; and M. Ducoux 29,619, including 401 of the
army. In other departments, also, the majority of
the votes of the army was very much in favour of the
moderate candidates.

The following communicated notes are published
by the Muniteur this morning :

Several joa•nals, particularly the Voiz du Peupte and the
National, have published an address to the " Workmen,
tradesman, ite." bearing the signature of M. Fidutt
as president, and MM. Croce Spinelli, and Breton, a-cre.
Uric", of • committee of tradespeople, manufacturers,
proprietors, and workmen, and in which it is said that
an infernal trap had been laid for them. The Procureor
of the Republie has ordered proceedings to be insti-
tuted against the above parties, as guilty W exciting to
hatred and contempt of the government of the republic.
The Voix du People, the day before yesterday, published
and the DeNSOCialk Pizeifigue repeated, an article, in which
it is stated that cansidirable MCI were adventured i• ex-
pectation of a rim in the event of the success of the eindi
dates of the Electoral Union, by • rich Jewish banker, ow
cupyine one of the most elevated positions in the govern-
menf, and above all, closely connected with the Prwident
of the Republic. The some article adds, the interests of •
high personage are, it is said, gravely compromised by the
regal,. In consequence of the publication of this article,
the Procureur of the Republic has demanded the peewit'.
tion of the publishers of the Vas du Potpie and the
Dittweratis Pacifique on a charge-Ist, of insult to the
person of the President of the Republic ; and, 2nilly, ex-
citing to hatred and contempt of the government of the
Republic.

The long-continued discos-ion on the organic law
on Public Instruction was yesterday brought to
conclusion, the Legislet ye Assembly adopting the
measure by a majority of 162, the number being 399
to 237.

To-day the only thing that created a stir was the
entrance into the Assembly of Messieurs Carnot,
Vidal. sad De Flotte. They had cane difficulty in
finding sate.
M. Baroche also appeared with his pirtfolio of
office under his arm. His appointment creates a
vacancy in the vice-presidency of the chamber. It is
supposed that M. Faucher will be appointed.
Before the public sitting yesterday, the representa-
tives met in their bureaux to appoint a committee to
examine the bill presented by the Minister of War
foe a credit of 2,629,9101. to defray, during the first
six months of the year 1850, the expense of an expe-
ditionary corps of the Mediterranean. The discussion
turned principally on the length of the occupation of
Rome by the French troops. The repress ntatives
were in general in favour of granting the credit • but
with the reservation that the minister should be
called before the committee to state the lessons which
led to the continued stay of the expeditionary corps
in Italy. _

PARIS. Stmosy,ll A.M.
The siting in the Legislative A.sembly was ani-
mated towards the clove by an incident arising nut
of the unwarrantable course pursued by the Astern-
brie IVaional• newspaper, in one of its articles yes-
terday. That journal thinks that the press has a
right to desitnate by name the owners of certain
shops as having votwd for the socialists, and to hold
them up to pubic proscription on that account. No
man that is not blinded by party feeling can admit
that certain shops are to be tabooed la,cau+e of a
political vote, unless in the moat ruthless moment of
revolution. _ -

M. F. de Lasteyrie urged this point in the Atom-
bly yesterday with much force, and M. Jules Fevre
irked what was there to prevent a socialist journal
from publishing in turn lists of tradesmen wl.o voted
against them. Reply to this was difficult, and M.
Benete merely argued that the parties aggrieved
might, if they chose, obtain their reined, by a civil
action.
The point is debate was too fall of poll ical warning
not to 'mate a storm, and M Seour d'Aguese4 au sowed
the whirldwiod by crying out that the vote of Parks
was a vote of war. "Your words," retor.el M.
Fevre, " are those of an insurgent," and M. llopin,
thinking like M. Pane, recalled M. ISegur to
order. The Assembly then palmed to the order of
the day.
