PARIS, April 2.

Le Constitutionnel observes this morning in con-
tinuation of its remarks of yesterday in reference
to the retirement of M. Magne from the Cabinet,
that the diff-rense of opinion existing between that
"Minister without Portfolio" and M. Fould, tLe
Minister of Finance, has been for some time past no
secret to anyone. The remark, simple though it
in itself, has about it a very obvious significance.
It is a reminder that the continuance of MM. Fouls
and Magne in the same Cabinet was an anomaly,
the further toleration of which by the Emperor was
impracticable.

Le Siecle announces that yet another Asteroid,
the 78th of the group, has just been discovered by
M. Robert Luther at the observatory of Biik, near
Dusseldotff, and that it has received the name of
Diana.

" The Ministers," says L' Opinion Nationale,
" assembled in council yesterday, at the palace of
the Tuileries, under the Presidency of the Emperor."
This is the first Cabinet Council held since the accep-
tance by his Majesty of M. Magne's resignation.
Le Pays remarks to-day upon the fact of the
new imperial ambassador from France to the Court
of St. James's, having been received, for the second
time, on Tuesday last, by her Britannic Majesty.
It is officially stated that the last reports received
from Mexico announce that Gen. Forey had sum-
moned a council of all the generals and chiefs of the
service for February 28, in order to arrange the de
tails of the movement on Paeble, and give them
their final instructions. The parks of artillery, the
war material, and a great depot of stores were con-
centrated at Quecholac, to which place all the mu-
nitions necessary for the first operations had been
conveyed. The sanitary condition of the army was
very satisfactory.
The Constitutionnel of
to-day, in an article signed
by M. Limayrac, says :--" In the maintenance of
M. Fould in the Ministry,
And of reduction in the the country will see with
pleasure a fresh pledge of
good order in the finances
