THE SUN.
LONDON, THURSDAY, OCT. 16, 1862.

Whatever truth there may or may aot be in
regard to the exact character of the
:Ministerial crisis now agitating Paris—there
cannot remain an instant's doubt in any
mind as to the course several of the
EMPEROR'S Ministers had to pursue if they
-retained any regard at all for their own con-
sistency. Admit that the Roman problem is not
yet to be solved, that the French army is not
yet to be embarked at Civita Vecchia for its return
homewards, that Northern and Southern Italy are
not yet to be brought together—and there were
members of the present Cabinet in Paris who could
not but at once tender to the EMPEROR
their resignations ! There is the Financial Minis.
ter, M. ACHILLES FOULD, for example. There is
-31. DE PERSIGNY, the Minister of the Interior.
There is M. THOUVENEL, the Minister for
Foreign Affairs. There is M. ROUHER, and
there is M. BAROCHE. Which one among these
administrators could with anything like consis-
tency, or for that matter with the maintenance of
any shadowy sense of self-respect, continue to hold
his portfolio meekly with all the old policy to which
they were all respectively more or less decidedly
pledged, either set aside altogether, or at any rate
postponed indefinitely to some epoch as remote from
the view of the present as the Greek Kalends
or the Millennium ? It is significant in an
extraordinary degree that the first minis-
terial resignation about which we were first the
most confidently assured, about the reality of
which there could scarcely remain a moment's
doubt, was the resignation of the Foreign Minister I
—namely, that of M. DE THOUVENEL. And not only
has M. DE THOUVENEL'S resignation, it would
appear, been at once accepted, but it is understood
that his successor has already been appointed. The
new Minister for Foreign Affairs being M.
DR"" Lx L'lluvs. T
ment is he change in that depart-
more rike in reverting to the old state
of thingl.RODYN DE L'Huys having before
held, for several years, the Foreign portfolio in
the Emperor's Cabinet. It is not, however, by
th any
at means the resignation of a solitary Minister
just occurred, or is just now
occurring in Paris. Tooth
er with M. DE THOU-
VENEL, there go out AIM.

maintained at the Bourse we shall deuce will be
not havelong to
wait in order to recognize. Theeplot
a barometer
of the Funds will show the result
unmistakeable characters. As to the Italian ques-
tion itself—not the Roman question merely but the
whole Italian question in its complete integrity—
that may be left with implicit confiienee to the pa_
triotism of a great people newly awakened from
the silence and subjection of centuries, nu.
der the guardiansbip of Divine Providence.
Lie question that, now forces itself more distinctly

and imminently upon our consideration—coming
nearer h3rne to us, affecting, directly and profoundly,

the political situation throughout Christendom

—is the question as to the manner in which the

Ministerial transformation .now being witnessed in

Paris will influence the loyalty of the French people

in regard to the Imperial Government. The EM-

ITROR is at last playing a bold and open game,

upon which the whole fortunes of his dynasty will
be siAked. Whether he is doing this at tlie in-
