HIS MAJESTY'S HEALTH.

The following is the Bulletin issued this day :
" Windsor Castle, May 22.
" The KlNa's symptoms remain the same. His MA°
Jits.nr has passed a better night.
(Signed) " HENRY HALFORD.
" M. J. TIERNEY."

An Express from Paris has brought the Moni-
leer and other Papers of Thursday,—confirming
the change in the French Ministry, which vve
noticed in The Sun of yesterday. Besides the
change in the Ministry of the Seals and Finance,
there is a new Member added to the Cabinet by the
creation of a new office, under the title of Depart'
ment of Public Works, the duties of which formerlf
belonged to the Minister of the Interior. The neve
Minister appointed to this department is the Baron
CAPELLE, Prefect of the Seine and Oise.

Of the retiring Ministers, M. de COURVOISIER,
the Keeper of the Seals, and M. de CHABROL, the
Minister of Finance, a Morning Contemporary
justly remarks, that " the former is known for
his constitutional opinions and liberal-party Con-
nexions, before his union with the PoLIGNAC
Administration ; and the latter distinguished for
that acquaintance with business which ren-
ders him an acquisition to any Administration,
along with those moderate views and conciliatory
dispositions which have enabled him to act with
successive changes of colleagues. Their successors
are M. de CEIANTELAUZE and M. de PEYRONNET,
both violent ultra-royalists. The former has BP'
peared very little in public life, and is not much
known beyond the circle of his private friends.
The latter, on the other hand, has been long in
office, has been prominently engaged in party cur
flicts, and has been honoured (as his friends would
say) with more popular odium than any man
in France. In order to make room for M.
de PEYRONNET, in the department of the
Interior, the present Home Minister, M. de
MONTBEL, moves to the Treasury. Whatever
confidence with one party, or whatever unpopularity
with another, M. de PEYRONNET may bring into
the Cabinet, he brings along with him decided
royalist principles, an unquenchable energy of
character, and an admitted capacity for business.
As the battle of the Ministry will have to be fought
chiefly in the Chamber of Deputies, his powers of
oratory will give him a great influence in that
assembly, into which every Minister, though a mem-
ber of the other Chamber, is admitted to defend
the measures of Government. While in the VII.'
LELE Cabinet, he put himself forward, or was put
forward by his colleagues, in many hazardous legis-
lative enterprises, in several of which he failed. It
was he who introduced the obnoxious law of the

Press which was defeated in 1824,—wh0 proposed
the law of primogeniture, which was likewise thrown
out, and several other unpopular acts. It was he
who wrote those circulars to the persons subject
to his Ministry before the general election of 1827,
which were denounced with so ranch indig-
nation before the tribune. It was he who ordered so
many prosecutions against the Press, on the law of
tendency, till he perceived that the Royal courts
would no longer convict. For these reasons he was
the constant object of attack during the whole
VILLELE Administration, to the overthrow of which
his bad repute, both in his public and private capa-
city, not a little contributed. Being the known ob-
ject of hatred with the popular party, he has never
ceased out of office to return their blows through
the Press as far as lay in his power, and he will now
use the powers of his Ministry to set their opposi-
tion at defiance. It may be thought by some, that
this is likely to lead to the return of VILLELE; but
this is a mistake. M. de PEYRONNET is called to
the Cabinet, not to forward, but to prevent such a
result. These two Ministers, though they long
acted together, never entertained towards each
other any cordial friendship, nor reposed in one
another any confiding trust. Besides, if M. de

(OFFICIAL PART.)
REPORT TO THE KING.

Stns,—Your Majesty, always attentive to the prosperity of
France, the progress of commerce and manufactures, the means
of favouring them, of increasing and improving the communi-
cations between the several parts of your kingdom, has thought
that the impulse given to public works did not answer to thisof prosperity, to those improvements, and that it was
by forms of administration too timid—by an excess of
pcstilecaectekuedtion, which does not leave sufficient independence to such
undertakings, or sufficiently free access to capital and the em-
ployment of it ; that it was requisite to put these essential parts
of the public service in harmony with the necessities of the pre-
sent time, with the spirit of our institutions, in order to unite
more and more closely the interest of individuals with the gene-
ral interest, in a concurrence of exertions, of advantages pro-
fitable to the first, and no lessbencficial to the second, by lighten-
ing
the obligations and burdens of the State.
Your Majesty, impressed with these observations, and per-
suaded that the Minister of the Interior, too much engaged in
affairs of the highest order, cannot pay sufficient attention to
the measures which it would be useful to adopt in order to ob-
tain the results which you propose; that such ameliorations can-
not be effected by the most enlightened zeal of subordinate
officers, whose situation is, perhaps, not sufficiently devoted
wholly to comprehend and to vanquish the difficulties, has re-
solved to establish a department of public works, which uniting
in one hand, invested with the necessary authority, the adminis-
tration of the works, enterprises, and concessions, relative to the
highways, streets, roads; canals, now navigable or not navigable;
the mines, quarries, civil edifices, &c., will submit these several
branches of the public service to the tme impulse ; and, beside'
