which have been made:—

M. Behic Minister of Agriculture, Commerce.

and Pablic Works.
M. Rouher ....Minister President of the Counc

M, De Morny..President of the Corps Legislatif.
The Moniteur of this morning says
"The Plebiscite of 1852 establishing that the
Ministers were responsible to the Emperor alone,
had the object of terminating those parliamentary
rivalries and ambitions which were the constant
causes of agitation and weakness for past govern-
ments.

" Without lessening tho strength and liberty of
action necessary to his power, the Emperor, was
desirous of giving to the great bodies of the State
a more direct participation in the general policy of
his government.

" This decree, however, did not modify the fun-
damental principles of the Plebiscite of 1852, which
a fresh Plebiscite could alona change.
"The ample and complete discussion of public
affairs was the motive for the creation of Ministers
without portfolio, having in the matters under de-
bate no personal part.

" The Emperor by the decree of to-day substi-
tutes a Minister, entrusted with the mission of
representing the relations of the Government with
the great bodies of State, with the object of more
solidly organising the representation of the govern-
mental idea before
-the Chambers, without departing
from the spirit of the Constitution.
" The Minister of State who is freed from admi-
nistrative functions, and the Minister President of
the Council of State, with the assistance of tho
members of this Council, are henceforth deputed
to explain and defend questions placed before the
Senate and Corps Legislatif.
The bulletin of the Moniteur of to-day quotes the
following from the Independance Beige:—
" Although the details of the award pronounced
by the King of the Belgians on the 20th inst., in
reference to the Anglo-Brazilian difficulty are not
yet known, it is believed that the principal question
has been decided in favour of the Brazilian
Government.

"It is said that his Majesty decided that not-
withstanding certain irregularites on the part of
the Brazilian authorities—which he points out and
censures—the treatment of which the English
officers complained did not constitute an insult to
the British Navy.

A Paris letter, in the France Centrale, contains
the following --
"For a long time past the Empress has enter-
tained the idea of going to Jerusalem. That excur-
sion is now decided on, and will take place towards
the end of the autumn. The Empress will be ac-
companied by three of her ladies of honour, the
Countesses de Rayneval, de Lourmel, and de la
Poeze. Her Majesty, it is said, will take with her
a supply of objeets for presents valued at
2,000,000 fr."
