THE E: SH PRES S.

LONDON,

MONDAY, JANUARY 4, 1619.

AVe have since our last publication received Paris
Papers of Wednesday and Thursday last. A .1/o-
wifeur of Wednesday having previously arrived in
town, by express, we were enabled on Saturday to
communicate the recent appointments in the French
Cabinet, and to this point the other Papers hunt
their intelligence. They are, indeed, strangely
silent upon a topic which cannot foil of interesting
every reflecting mind in France, and yet they dismiss
it with very little more attention than they are. ac-
customed to thew the least important °cell' resico
The Journal de Paris alone seems to con-ider the
event as worthy an observation. Aftcr i;iving the
names of the new Ministers, it whit, " Since the
day before yesterday these nominations had ac-
quired a considerable degree of probability, and
they load an auspicious iritinei ce upon the public
funds. Yesterday their inqirovenient continue,l,
and enabled us to judge still furjier by this ther-
mometer of the confidence inspired by the above
intelligence." The silence of the Journals
on such an occasion canoot be altogether at-
tributed to the magic influence of the ['le-
sions censorship—a word, even in the way of
praise, might lime been inserted ; and now
that the t•hanges are elf-cted, we cannot its.
give that the Censors vet•ti;tl love refused a few short
paragraph-, to gratify Ilse atixitty, or even the cu-
riosity of the country, and of Europe in general,
respecting the :ort.lyible causes of a revolution so
sudden and complete.

The reason assigned in private letters for the re-
signation of the late 51iiiistt-l9 is, that some (title-
rence hod existed in the Cabinet respecting the
modifications that ate required in the laws of elec.
time and recruiting. But this is by it° menus tide-
(mate to such an event. It %%will stem from some
cirction•tances that the elbell;V!* iu the Cabinet is by
no means pleasing to the Kiln. The Manikinr
and other Paris contain N paragraph. staling.
that his 11AJEsTY, nu accepting the resignation
of Baron Phsouts.a, late Minister of Justice, testi-
tied in the in t tbitteiitir manlier his approbation
