Rumours of Ministerial modifications have circu-
lated for some days in Paris. What gave rise to
them was the high position M. Fould, as Minister of
State, will derive from the absence of the President.
This fact naturally pre-occupied his colleagues, and
warm discussions arose in council, which ended in a
compromise satisfactory to all parties. M. Fould, on
the other hand, is supposed to be attached to men
with whom he entertains a community of ideas and
sentiments, and whose accession to the Ministry he
must desire. He is accordingly an object of distrust
for some of the present Ministers, who view with a
certain alarm the high favour he enjoys with the
Chief of the State. Nevertheless, the present Mi-
nistry are believed to be firmly fixed in their places.
There is no truth either in the reported suppression
of the Ministry of General Police. Whatever change
may take place in the Cabinet, that department has
now acquired such an importance, and proved itself
so useful, that it may be considered altogether indis-
pensable. Its organization is far more efficient than
that of the same office during the Empire, and what-
ever may be thought of it abroad, on account of its
name and the recollections of another period, the
police as now exercised is regarded by the country ac
a guarantee of order and security against future
catastrophes. M. de Maupas may be said to have
realised the recommendation addressed to Lim by
Louis Napoleon—" Let the good be re
the wicked tremble." tvaured and
