PARIS, MAY 20, AT Noox.—(The Messager gives from the
Afoniteur all the Ordonnances.)
EXCHANGE ON PARIS Max 19.—The report which we gave
yesterday is confirmed. IV. de Peyronnet returns to the Ministry,
escorted by Messrs. de Chantelauze, de Suleau, and perhaps by
some other men, whose names offer the same guarantees of the
liberty and tranquillity of France. To announce such a choice,
is to say plainly enough that the most lively alarm must have
been spread among our speculators, and that our Funds could
not recover the check they experienced yesterday; in fact, the
decline has continued to make a sensible progress. The Three
Per Cents fell 30 cents below the closing price of yesterday ;
the Five per Cents. 15 cents ; the Ducats 35 ; and the Rente
Perpetuelle %.
(From the Quotidienn Min Thursday.)
We give this news (change ofstry) from the Gazette
without venturing in any way to compromise ourselves. We
would not, however, have it understood that we, by this expres-
sion, indicate a choice. We have perfect confidence in the
King's wisdom, and have no doubt but that the new selections,
whatever they may be, will confirm the principle of the policy of
the Bth of August. Talent, courage, discreet and provident
firmness, are what we look to for the safety of the throne and
the honour of France. Our concurrence is pledged to the King's
Government, faithful to itself, and devoted to the defence of
Society.
ST. CLOUD, MAY 19.—This morning his Majesty transacted
business with Prince Polignac, and afterwards with the Baron de
la Bouellierio, Intendant-General of the King's Household.
The King gave a private audience to M. Courvoisier, Minister
of Justice, and M. de Chabrol, Minister of Finance.
M. de Montbel visited his Majesty at three o'clock.
MM. de Peyronnet and de Chantelauze had afterwards an au-
dience with the King.

(From Le Globe.)
MONSIEUR DE PEYRONNET.
The evil genius has prevailed. A man whom France never
names in cold blood—a man who has commenced his political
fortune by demanding twelve heads from the Chamber of Peers,
is Minister of the Interior. Under existing circumstances, AL
de Peyronnet is worse than M. de la Bourdonnaye. We have
now even to regret the Ministry of hug. 8.
This melancholy change, this progress in the career of evils,
will distress all persons of any sense and patriotism. We see in
it but one compensation—namely, the happy influence which
this piece of intelligence, and the measures likely to follow it,
must exercise on the elections. Our majority—namely, that of
the Liberals—will be the stronger for it, as well as the more spi-
rited. Electors! the Ministers are recruiting for you. France
appeals against their fatal resolutions to your vigilance, and to
your activity and energy. May you save the Government in
spite of itself.
TRIBULATIONS OF THE MINISTRY..
The clerks of the Post-office were the first to set an example.
On Sunday they laboured till five o'clock. Poor functionaries !
The electioneering manoeuvres have begun. The coming month
will justify you against all sneers about bureaucratic sinecures.
One laborious month like this willbalance eleven months' official
idleness. How many (days will you spend without rest ! How
many nights without sleep ! An active correspondence,—revisal
of documents,—analysings of indorsements,—lists of thousands
of names, ciphers, and calculations! Then come the secret ser-
vice occupations, the inventions of chicanery, of frauds, and
abuse of favours—the statistic of opinions—the study of police
reports, secret meetings, and diplomatic interviews, heart-burn-
ings, and the anxieties of a mind tossed between Ministerial re-
proaehes and lashings of the Press, and the still more terrible
Phantoms of dismissal ! '1 he life of a galley slave is by far more
sweet. No prisoner was ever doomed to a ruder tr.:ad-mill—no
convict ever turned a capstan half so toilsome I
(From the National.)
Messrs. de Chabrol and Courvoisier having resigned, there re-
mains no longer any hope for M. de Villele. Thus all the effort.
of the Gozette eo obtain the dissolution only ended in raising M
de Peyronnot to the head of a combination, which destroys the
Ministry of M. de Polignac, and prevents for ever the return
of M. de Villele. How the Gazette has been dui-ed. The Quo-
tidienne has been not less so, as Messrs. Berryer, de Vitrolles,
and Dudon, do not appear. M. de Peyronnet will shortly be the
real head of this Cabinet. He formerly attempted to supplant
irIL de Villele, which was no easy matter. He will more readily
ern M. de Polignac, upon whom he looks only as a great
Oblernan without any capacity.
All who know M. de Peyronnet may easily anticipate what
sort of thing his system of Administration will prove to be--
namely, the epunter-revolution more openly pursued than by M.
de Villeie,:and with more activity than by M. de Polignac. We
must be prepared for any thing. M. de Peyronnet will aim both
at the end and the means.
It would be a mistake to consider M. de Montbel as the mere
warming-pan for M. de Villele. The former means to stick to
the Finances, and M. tie Villele would only form part of a Ca-
binet composed by himself.
M. d'Haussez, who was said to have been shaken in his hopes
by the voyage he had undertaken, has, on the contrary, returned
with his head full of illusions. The whole Cabinet fancies itself
capable of conducting the elections in such a manner as to secure
the majority, and of regaining the legality, and to use it after-
wards for their good pleasure, and according to the inspirations
of the Congregation, which is entirely restored by this blow.
When M. de Villele was at Paris, M. de Peyronnet had al-
?eady evincod some intention to act on his own bottom • and it
i;,...asserted [that the late Presidentiof the Council and 'himself
had not Parted on the best terms. This is not to be wondered
airtrintfoirny,ts.l. -hede Peyronnet was, to a certain point, out of his ele-
patienco Cabinet, where he had figured for such a length of
alls sallies in the Chamber often embarrassed even the
.de Villele. He was the counter-revolutionist of
thate Cabinet and had ever absolutest bravadoes in his mouth.
He Was incapable of any political manmuvring. Ho was ambi.
:',14t0l of the honour of setting public opinion at defiance when
epee;',sented his " Loi d'amour" (the law against the Press), and
,law of sacrilege; and he succeeded in enhancing the odium
of these measures by,his insolence of forms. He is one of those
wrongheaded and passionate beings who seek for unpopularity
in their publicuc life, as others do in their private affairs. But, for
all that, as much real audacity, and an energy proper,
if not toprevent the electors from doing their duty, at least to compel the functionaries to do what is called theirs. M. de Po-
lignac, being pushed on in spite of himself in the grand measure
of the dissolution, may have wished him to become his auxiliary
and, therefore, may have formed this alliance. This, at least,
Is supposed to be the case; and the funds have this day felt the
offeet of this opinion.
The result of the elections is now less doubted in the public
offices than any where else. The clever Royalists of the Gazette,
and the generous Royalists of the Quotidienne, will be over-
whelmed by the same defeat, and by the same demonstration of
their impotency.

It appears by a copy of that spirited paper the
North Briton, that the novelty of double sheets is
not to be confined to London Newspapers, for
the march of double sheets, like every other
march of mind, has found its way to Edinburgh.
The North Briton of Wednesday last, with an en-
terprise which reflects the highest credit upon its con-
ductor, contains, in a double sheet, a correct and—we
need not add—lengthy report of the DUNDONNELL
CAUSE—for it runs to twenty-eight columns of small
type—a thing unprecedented in the annals of Law
reporting !—and nearly as interminable as a Scotch
law case can well be !

We, of course, have not room for this report—
nor even for an abstract to-day—but" the object of
the action was to reduce two deeds—that is to set
them aside, by which the estate called Dundonnell
has been taken away from its natural proprietor, and
conferred on other individuals not heirs of the
family." The trial occupied four days, when at last
the Jury having been locked up from six o'clock on
Friday evening to a quarter-past six on Saturday
morning—returned no verdict ! and were discharged
according to the Statute,because they could not come
to any agreement ! Ten of the Jury were said to be in
favour of the plaintiff, and two of the defendant.
The case, therefore (says the North Briton), re-
mains in precisely the same situation as if it had
never been sent to the Jury at all ; the battle must
be fought over again ; the parties must once more
run the gauntlet of trial, and once more encounter
the enormous expense of this Court, besides bring-
ing up a second time, whole legions of witnesses
from the north. Such are the bles,ed fruits of re-
quiring unanimity in Juries.
" During all the four days the trial lasted, the
Court-room was crowded to excess ; and on Friday
night a number of persons had assembled in the
Parliament-square, waiting in anxious expectation
for the verdict of the Jury. The case, indeed, hz"
excited the most intense interest, not so much per-
haps from its own importance, however great, as
from the extraordinary circumstances connected

with it ; and above all, th e prodigious sensation it
has produced in Ross-shire and the adjoining

northern counties.
"Counsel for the Pursuer,—the SOLICITOR-GE-
NERAL and PATRICK ROBERTSON, Esq. Advocate;
Agent, HUGH MACQUEEN, W.S. Counsel for the
defenders, HENRY COCKBURN, ANDREW SKENE,

The estate in dispute is situated in a remote part
of the county of Ross, about fifty miles from
Dingwall.

In the Bath Herald we find the following para-

graph :

" LONDON MAILS.-it is said that an alteration in the
London mails generally is contemplated. The mails ate
to be despatched from the General Post-Office an hour
earlier than at present; and it is intended to save time by
shortening the stages, and increasing the speed."

Now this is news to us. The proposed alteration,
if really contemplated, would be no improvement
whatever. On the contrary, we think that if the
departure of the mails were delayed an hour, or even
an hour and a half, it would be a decided advantage
to persons in the country, as enabling the news-
papers to give any important intelligence arriving in
London up to that period, or nearly so. At present
there is a very illiberal feeling manifested in certain
quarters against conceding the least accommodation to
the Public Press. However, we trust, with the im-
proving spirit of the age, a corresponding feeling
may be generated in those official quarters which
ought to take the lead—not be reluctantly led, in the
good work of promoting the public welfare and con_
venience by all possible means. It is perfectly no-
torious, that at present no principle of improvement
is first introduced into our public establishments,
but it originates in a laudable spirit of individual emu-
lation and enterprise. Even the most creditable and
splendid of our National Works owe their existence
to individual spirit and munificence, so that what
reflects most honour upon our country, or redounds
most to the national glory, is produced by individual
liberality, not by Government influence. England
may thus be proud of her sans, though she blush in
her glory !

In another part of The Sun will be found a full
and authentic report of Mr. O'CONNELL'S reply to
the attacks made on him in the House of Commons
by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL for Ireland, and the
Hnn. Member for Melbourne Port. We have given
this reply precisely as we find. it reported in the
Dublin Morning Register of Thursday, on the
principle that we are bound, as public Journalists, to
give every man fair play. The attacks made for
two nights successively on Mr. O'CONNELL were
reported in our Paper at length; and it is but just in
us to take this opportunity of giving his defence
with equal minuteness.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY).

COVENT-GARDEN MARKET.

There was a good supply at this morning's market,
but the trade was dull. Cabbages, Onions, Radishes,
French Beans, New Potatoes, Gooseberries, Currants, and
Strawberries, were cheaper than on this day se'nnight ;
prices otherwise about stationary. Red Cabbages, Tur-
nip Greens, and Broeoli Sprouts, have nearly or quite
gone out of season.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK.

_ - - - - - ---
This is one of the dullest, mornings we have experienced for
some time past in the City, we have neither news nor the least
speculation going forward in the Funds, and the Express from
Paris is of little or no importance. Owing to its being a holiday
in the above capital, the price of the Rentes are nut quoted.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 93!c3 1,4 for the Account,
opened at the same price, and continue so without a bargain
doing as yet.

The same stagnation prevails-in the Foreign Market, and the
prices are nominal as per yesterday.
Demerara Papers to the 10th April have been received at the
North and South American Coffee-house, but they are destitute
of information.

In the Foreign Market some business doing in Spanish and
Greek Bonds; the former has gone down 1 per cent., and the
latter about 2 per cent.. owing to reports that Prince Leopold
has changed his mind and will not proceed to Greece; but this
is a mere stock-jobbing manoeuvre, and cannot be depended upon.
