Public Works, with (added to it) the Administration of the
Roads and Bridges, which in the empire was a separate
department. He objected to the commercial portion of
affairs, because, being a deputy for the Department du
Nord, the most manufacturing district of France, and the
prosperity of which depended on the maintenance of the
prohibition system, he could not with propriety, as Minister
of Commerce, advocate ameliorations of the existing re-
strictive code, which might be injurious to the interests of
his constituents. He equally objected to assuring the
duration of the agricultural branch of administration, be-
cause in the next year it might become expedient to tax
sugar of home production (from beet-root), and the Depart-
ment du Nord being the great field of that branch of in-
dustry, he could not consistently with his Parliamentary
connexion with it support a measure calculated to act in-
juriously upon it.
The Council separated without coming to any decision,
because of the confusion and embarrassment that would arise
out of the dislocation of departments so long connected.
As, however, no fit person for the office of Minister of
Commerce and Public Works can be found, both were
again pressed on M. Martin (du Nord) this morning, but
with little prospect of success.
Marshal Molitor has positively refused the Ministry of
War. " Nearly at the end of my career," said he, " I
will not expose myself to the criailleries of the press. I
am not an orator, and am determined on spending the re-
mainder of my life in peace."
General Bernard has also been applied to. He has also
refused the War Department, because, say his friends, al-
though an able, he is a modest and an irritable man ; and
if attacked by a rude opponent in the Chamber, might in-
conveniently commit himself.
The Duke de Montebello is, or at all events will be im-
mediately, recalled from Switzerland.
PARIS, SEPT. I4.—There has been little news from
Spain on 'Change. The most positive information that
we have been able to collect, is that Gomez, notwith-
standing the advantage which he has just obtained over the
division of Lopez, and the boldness of some of his late at-
tempts, is now in a situation which he himself considers as
very precarious, being surrounded by several divisions
which seem to combine their movements to hem him in on
every side.
A private letter from Madrid of the 6th, has the fol.
lowing paragraph :
" The present Ministry has no chance of duration. It
is even unlikely that it will live till the time of the meet-
ing of the Cortes. Calatrava alone, though much ad-
vanced in years, is distinguished from his colleagues by
some degree of energy.
M. de Caballero, who is still in this province, will proba-
bly be called on by the patriotic party to form a new ad-
ministration. He will most likely surround himself with
entirely new men, whom public opinion will point out to
him, and who will be equal to the circumstances. The
emigration continues. The Government gives no pass-
ports, but the Foreign Ambassadors give them to persons
who are exposed to danger or alarmed.
The Infanta Donna Louisa Carlotta has expressly for-
bidden all persons belonging to her household from leaving
Madrid."

The Eco of the sth announces that General Alvarez who
succeeds General Manso, had left Madrid to put himself at
the head of his division.

General Espeleta had_ arrived at_Bayonne on the 9th.

[t ►vas reported that M. Alcala Galiano had landed at
Etochefort.

SEPT. 15.--All the negotiations entered into hitherto in

the nomination of a Minister of War, have failed. Mar-
shal Soult has refused, and is no more thought of. General
Caeux has refused. General Dode de la Brunerie has re-
fused. Marshal Molitor has refused. General Bernard
refuses.

The Duke de Coigne refuses the Embassy to Madrid.
Even the post of Secretary-General to the Prefecture of
Police is refused.—Messtjger, Sept. 15.

BOURSE, QUARTER TO FOUR.—For some time we have not
had so boisterous a market as this day; at the opening of the
Bourse the price was 79f. 85e., but the Three per Cents.
rose rapidly to 79f. 95c., buyers ; it is even said that some bar.
gains were done at 801., when on a sudden there was a change
in the market, and the Three per Cents. were done at 85f.,
and remained so, sellers. From the beginning the Spanish
Active Stock showed a tendency to fall, the price was 29k, but
they were done at 284 almost immediately after. About the
close of the market several reports were in circulation, one
was that the Queen had left Madrid on the approach of the
Carlists. This was afterwards stated not to be the case, but
that the Carlists have taken Valencia seems more likely. A
sudden fall then ensued in the Spanish securities; the Actives
were done at 27-1, but have since recovered to 28, buyers, the
closing price.
