FURTHER MODIFICATION OF THE
MINISTRY.

cities.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
They contain the announcement of the resignation
by M. Gotructiaux of the Ministry of Finance. M.
Goupcnaux, it appears, had some time since ex-
pressed his determination to resign, and on Tuesday a
council of Ministers was held on the subject, at which
M. ARMAND MARRAST, the President of the National
Assembly, assisted. The Ministers were unanimous
in urging M. GOUDCIIAUX to withdraw his proffered
resignation and to continue in office. He was net, how-
ever, to be persuaded, and his resignation was at length
reluctantly accepted by his colleagues, who at once
proceeded to deliberate as to the choice of a successor,
when it was finally arranged that M. TRouvE
CHAUVAL, Prefect of the Seine, who was formerly a
banker at Mons, and who is well versed in financial
matters) should succeed M. GOUDCHAUX as Minister
of Finances, and that M. RECURT, who last week
resigned the Ministry of the Public Works, in order
to enable General CAVAIGNAC to make the Dufaure
modification of the Ministry, should succeed M.
TROUVE Cllauvau as Prefe,ct of the Seine.
At the sitting of the ASsembly yesterday,
GRANDIN put his promised queetion relative to the
late Socialist banquets. This gave rise to a very
tumultuous discussion, which continued sonic time.
The law for regulating the election of President,
which was presented on Tuesday, proposes to fix the
10th of December as the day of the election. M.
DE LAROCHEJAQUELIN has given notice that he shall
propose as an amendment that the election shall take
place on the 26th of November.
The question as to the property of Louts PHILIPPE
is, it is said, at length settled. The Count DE Mow.
TALIVET is to be liquidateur, and a loan of twenty-four
millions is to be raised to pay the most pressing
claims on the property, and for the immediate sup-
port of the members of the Royal Family now in
England. Louts PHILIPPE is said to have bound
himself, if this plan be agreed on, to pay regularly
to the Duchess of ORLEANS her dowry of a million
of francs per annum. The Government wished M.
Duets to be liquidateur, but this was objected to by
the ex-King.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 19th and 20th have arrived.
There hai long been going on a struggle for
mastery between NARVAEZ and CHRISTINA. NAR
VAEZ has conquered. He has dismissed ATIRAEUHIES,
who has always been the agent of CHRISTINA in her
secret negotiations, from the office of Governor of the
Palace, abolished the office itself, and invested the
KING CONSORT with the sole direction of the Royal
Household and patrimony, to attain which has been
the object of the worthy Paquo from the moment he
married the QUEEN. The Marquis of BEDMAR has
been deported from Spain. While NARVAEZ is en-
gaged in these palace intrigues, the insurrection in
the north is becoming every day more formidable.
According to the last accounts, IRIARTE and AMETT-
Lsu had entered Spain and joined the insurgents.

PRUSSI A.

There is again a Ministerial crisis at Berlin. On
the morning of the 24th instant General PFUEL, the
recently appointed Prussian Prime Minister, tendered
his own resignation, and that of every one of his col-
leagues, to the Ktx.G. His MAJESTIC requested
General PBUEL to withdraw his resignation, but the
General was inexorable. There are various rumours
current as to the causes which have led to this inexo-
rable determination on the part of all the members of
the Pfuel Cabinet. One rumour. is that they
anticipated a defeat in the Assembly on the
Posen question, it having been ascertained that
the majority of the Deputies will vote in favour of
the amendment of Baopows,,, by which the Grand
Duchy of Posen will remain under the Sovereignty
exclusively of Prussia, without being divided into a
Polish and a German portion, and cannot under any
circumstances become a portion of the German Con.
federation. This plan is in direct opposition to the
plan proposed by General Prunt. himself; yet it is
scarcely probable that he would have resigned merely
in anticipation of a defeat in the Chambers ; it would
have been quite early enough to resign after he had
been defeated, and when the division lists would have
furnished the ICING with data for the formation of a
new Cabinet. Another and much more pro-
bable cause alleged is, that the KING, by unad-
visedly indulging, in season and out of
season, and; upon all occasions, in his
almost monomaniacal love of speechifying, so continu.
ally commits himself and his Ministers that no man
who has an ordinary regard for his reputation as a
politician, or even for his personal safety, can pos-
sibly hold office under him, and that it was only on the
KING's refusal to abstain for the future from oratory
in public that General Prusr. and his colleagues ten-
dered their resignations.

AUSTRIA.
A letter from Vienna, dated the 19th, says :—" In
the evening sittiAg of the Diet on the 18th, SCHU-
aolged
saLKA. stated that he had received information to the
effect that the Hungarian army, on the ground of a
decision of the Diet of Hungary itself, had refrained
from entering on the Austrian territory. He added
that it was doubtful whether this
orr of
esoluttihoen n
le the
part
with C
of HouonngtarAiatinEDitsipeEtll7o,as the result of the
recent interview of the Ilungarian deputa-
tionmenaces of Russia. The refusal of the Hungarians
to cross the frontier is, it is said, owing to the dissa-
tisfaction they
.feel at the proceedings of the Aus-
trian Diet.
The Breslau Gazette says that the members of the
deputation appointed by the Left of the Frankfort
Assembly to proceed to Vienna, in order to express
sympathy with the Viennese, have not only accom-
plished the object of their mission, but have gone one
step further, and have taken up arms fur the good
cause. On the 17th they made their appearance,
amidst enthusiastic cheers, in the hall of the Aca-
demy, where they declared that the cause of Vienna
was the cause of Germany, and that Vienna must
conquer; otherwise the entire population (of Ger-
many) must rise up to a man. In all parts of Ger-
many there existed the same feeling in favour of the
"good cause." .At the conclusion of their speeches
they were invested with the insignia of the Academic
Legion.
