PARIS, OCT. 25.

(From the Private Correspondent of the Timm)
*ln my letter of yeaterdny I mentioned to you that the
Council had then broken up without any final decision
upon the modification of the present Ministry. Several
propositions were made and discussed before the King.
All the Ministers in fact offered to go out, if deemed no
misery by his Majesty for the better consolidation of public
opinion, but strange to say, in the reconstruction of an
administration, nobody offered to come in. The public!
Exchequer of France at this moment requires replenish-
ing, and every man in the path to political power wishes
to stand away from -the approaching process against the
Ex-Ministers ; the inducements to take office are not
therefore as strong at present as in other times,
Many names were, however, mentioned,
.but the only
authentic particulars which I have recelvet are as follows,
they are the whole of what can be depended upon, so late
es half-past two o'clock this day :—The intended project
is to include in the Ministry three of the Ministers with-
out portfolios—M. Lafitte, for Finance ; 111. Casimir Per-
rier, for the Interior ; M. Mignon, for Public Institution ;
General Gerard to quit the War-office, to make way for
either Generals Lamarque or Hero; Dupont de More,
Moll, and Sehastiani, to retain their present offices; Louis,
Guizot, Dupin, and .Broglie, to retire. This is the in.
tended modification of the Ministry which is at present
under consideration. There are to be no more Ministers
without portfolio..
Other projects are circulated, but that which I have
just written is the only one upon which you can rely. It
is, in fact, authentic.
Still every thing here is permitted to hang upon events.
'the Ministers one day all wish to go out ; the next day
some of them express a readiness to remain. The Duke
do Broglie is the only one who is heartily sick of being iu
office. The great difficulty is, I repeat, the disinclination
to amthset the impending prosecution, Every body wishes
to keep Ids hands out of, it; and some, who are pressed
to remain in by the King, but who know that their tenure
of oilicm is not permanent, reply by the French proverb,
that they do not wish to stop in the house merely " to dry
the plaster." V.
P.S. There is a complete cessation' of nocturnal dis-
turbances. The National Guards are every where punc-
Wel to the duty which they have undertaken.

Never did mortal hold the noblesse in such
utter detestation as did the direcieur Swers. " When-
ever I meet a stranger," said he, " I ask him this ques-
tion--; Are you my equal ?' Should be reply in the
negative--' Then you are a wolf,' I rejoin, ' arid as a wolf
1 will trent you.' "—ln the year 1796, a certain abbe
Ponwc, a fanatic, having contrived to gain admission into
Slims' house, discharged a pistol at the latter's head, but
visaed kis aim: upon which the _ Republican, nowise
flurried at his narrow and almost miraculous escape, coolly
turning to his housekeeper, said aloud, " Should the ahhe
Poorat call here again, you will have the goodness to say
era not at home."-- The Taller.

THE WATEIt WITCII.—The scene of this
extraordinary Tale of the Sea, which Mr. Coona has
lust presented to the public, is laid in the reign of Queen
Aloe, one of whose cruisers is egnipped and despatched
for the express purpose of capturing the renowned
" Skimmer of the Seas," a notorious smuggler and con,-
trahand trader, and which, when primed by en viten%
appears to glide like an arrow over the waters. The sudden
appearance and disappearance of tide mysterious craft,
which is reported to be under the omnipotent iriluence
and protection of the " Sea Green Lady," awl her esba.
Hate spells—and the strange and inexplicsble Wog, styled
4, the giefinerof
_the Indian Strand," who e,ommantli the
Flying Outlaw," invest tlre work with an interest never
approaches' by any other Narclist, awl which far exceeds
Oren that to be found in " The Red Rover."'
