PARIS CORRESPONDENCE.
TrESDIT

The personnel of the Ministry is still the great topic of
Vie day, and stories are rife respecting the final negotia-
tions. Copies of the letters exchanged between M. Magne
and M. 011ivier on New Year's Day are published in most
of the journals. The Temps gave them yesterday in
full, the Const;tuti'onnel only in part, omitting
M. 011ivier's final reply to M. Magne. For this omission it
i sharply called to account by the Liberte of to-clay,
w:dch maintains that either a correspondence should
be given in full, or entirely suppresed, since full
publicity is history, half publicity is adulterated truth.
There seems no doubt that the members of the Left
CAltre really made the exclusion of the ex-Minister of
Finance from the Cabinet a sine qua non of their own en-
trance. The Patric, in addition to the letters I have al-
luded to, publishes one from M. Magne to M. 011ivier
putting the portfolio of Finance at his disposal. The esta-
blishment of the Liberal Empire is, he says, the great
wish of the country, and for his part he is ready to make
any personal sacrifice to attain it. Another letter from
M. Magne to M. Schneider announcing his retirement from
the Ministry of Finance appears in the journals, in which
he declares that he much prefers being left out of the
Cabinet, with the political situation clearly defined through
his efforts, than within it from the effects of a misunder-
standing and equivocal arrangements. Everyone is

gainer,
The Journal gificiel of this morning disposes of the
uncertainty attending the appointment of M. Parien
as President of the Council of State. Ile is to be in the
Cabinet, and the decree of this morning attributes the
omission of all mention of this important fact in the
original list of
,the Ministers to an error which it is
necessary to rectify. Naturally this incident has given
rise t) some speculation, and -nitre are net wanting
those who think the omission was no accident, but that M.
Parien's Entrance into the. Cabinet is due to a subsequent
decision of M. 011ivier and his colleagues.
The terms upon which the fusion of parties has
been arranged furnish matter for animated specula-
tion. The Liberal press are somewhat doubtful
on the point, and there are already rumours respecting
the dissolution of the Chambers. If we are to believe the
Potpie Francais, the journal of the Court, no such dissolu-
tion must be looked for. The three conditions of the
union between the two centres were, according to
this journal:-1. The maintenance of the existing
Chamber, the Ministers agreeing to recognise it as the
expression of popular feeling; second, no change in the
present organisation of the constituent power; and,
third, the nomination of Mayors by the Government.
the Siicle, rejoicing to find so good an opportunity
for attacking the new Ministry, declares that
the Left Centre has put its programme in its
pocket, while the Bight Centre must, for its part, sincerely
regret its manifesto. Of what use, asks the Slide to put
forward a measure of electoral reform? The Ministers
having recognised that the existing chamber fairly repre-
sents the people, the best means of securing electoral
liberty is to maintain the prefects at their posts and
to make a few of them senators. This unlucky phrase
about the representation calls forth, likewise, the ire of
the Temps. The new Ministers are, it says, free to 'com-
lromise their own reputations if they like ; they are free
to recognise in the Chamber, they themselves
sondenmed, the true representation of the people,
NI. Buffet is free to bow before that official
majority against which he has so often voted ; but
the Temps, for its part, will not cease to demand .electoral
reform, the dissolution of the Chamber, and elections free
from all pressure whatever. Without these, all other eon-
sessions are valueless, and we shall have the agitation
of parliamentary regime without its guarantees.
Marshal Valliant is said to have entreated the Emperor
to allow him to remain in his service until the end of his
rife, and on that account he was permitted to have the
administration of the Emperor's household. Some changes
have been made in that department. The theatres are to
oe assigned to the Minister for the Fine Arts, together
with the charge of the letters, which was one of the duties
of the Minister of Public Instruction. Marshal Vaillant
will not take part in the Cabinet Councils.
The North German Gazette, in considering the new
French Cabinet, says that the programme of the
Ministry is the signal- for a policy of peace. The
Foreign Minister is bound by no past promises, and is
"ertain to carry out, so far as possible, the common wishes
sf his colleagues. He will derive the greatest assistance
from the friendly relations which exist between France and
the foreign Powers.
The Constitutionnel makes mention of an interpellation
which will be brought forward at one of the earliest sit-
tings of the Senate, and which already bears a great many
signatures. Its object is to obtain from the Government
an explanation of the home policy they intend to pursue.
The Figaro states that Troppmann, on the last day of
ais trial, wrote a letter to the director of the Conciergerie
thanking him for: his kindness, and offering him his auto-
graph as a mark of gratitude ! If condemned to death, he
hoped to die on the 21st of January, the day on which the
.nost innocent of French kings was executed. Before
raving the Conciergerie he wished to see the cell in which
Marie Antoinette was confined. The Petit Moniteur
sublishes a number of manuscripts which were
hen
Lauad in the wearing apparel of Troppraann w
ais usual clothes were exchanged for the prison
suit. Some of these documents aro traced in ink,
and others in pencil. Some of the compositions
Ire in verse, and one is addressed to the young woman
who was desirous of sharing, his prison life in order to
sniuse him. Ile was writing verses when his counsel,
11;,zerain, came to see him on the subject of the appeal he
ta made to the Court of Cessation. What next?
The strike of the drapers' assistants has come to an ena,
Ind at a general meeting held on Sunday, the assembly

Improvement has, it is sold, been effected in the position
of the young men.
