four, it transpired-4)st the ecbility of the
try was still in jeopardy, and the funds fell l f. 75c.
I subjoin a list of the new Ministry, which every
one believes to be a correct one :--

Minister of the Interior M. CmER,
Of War - General LAURISTON
Of the Marine - M. de VILLELI
Of the Great Seals M. SIMEON

Of Finance - Count 31uLLtEte.

"The Police Deportment is to be replaced by a
direction us in 1814, and M. TOUR.NON is partied as
its Chief. It will probably be under the jurisdtc-
tion of the Minister of the Interior.

•' The most extraordinary rumours are afloat;
some affirm that the KING intends dissolving the
Lower Howe, others that the Deputies of the
Chamber, named by the Krim infrouvubk of 1815.
are to be reinstated in all their functions ; more
moderate men maintain that the determination of
his MAJESTY is to adjourn the Chamber fur four
months, and in the mean time by an Ordinance to
make a provisional Law of Elections, un►il a Cham-
ber composed in virtue of that Ordinance shall have
modified or annulled the old one. The Deputies
of the Independent and Liberal Party, aware of
this, are revolved to oppose with all their vehemence
the demand of 6.l2ths, which is to be discussed
to-day, and to accord merely 1-12th, so that the
subsidy must be granted atm,* vvvry month. The
debates will be of the highest interest.

" An extraordinary Moniteur was expected this
morning, but none has appeared. The official ac-
count cutout be delayed beyond tomorrow.

" PARIS, Two a'Cloek, Saturday.

" Since my letter of this morning I hasten to an-
nounce to you, that the public have as vtired the
certainty that all the indirifluth to whom the Duke
de RICHELIEU had offered appointments, and whose
names I communicated to you this morning, have
absolutely declined accepting these perilous func-
tions. M. de VILLELE insisted as a sine pra non
nit the modification, or, in other words, the abolition
of the Election and Recruiting Laws ; to this his
MAJESTY gave a positive refusal. Messieurs
CUVIER, SIMEON, and Mot.i.tus, have refused to
share the responsibility of measures dictotrd by
NIM. de VILLEI.F. and LAURISION. To those who
have already sent in their resignations I have to add
the mines of MM. RARENTE, VILLEMAINE,
ROYER COLLARD, CAMILLE JOURDAN, de SERRE,
CUISOT, &c. Thus the Duke de RICHELIEU,
under whose auspices the new Ministry was to have
been formed, finds himself singularly embarrassed
at these unanimous refusals.

•' Great and just apprehensions are entertained
of the funds ; bets are offered that they will
be down to 64 in less than it fortnight.
" A bon mot of M. TALl.Eirsaisto is in circu-
lation on this state of affairs; he says it is the corn-
menceonnit de la fn. " D•"

" Saturday Evening.

" I embrace this opportunity of acquainting
you, that hopes are still entertained, both by the
Liberal l'ility anal by the Mini•terialists, that M.
DE CAZES will be recalled to office by the Kirin,
and that the resignation of M. LAIN will alone
be final. " D."
