EVENING, NOVEMBER 17, 1

4:

We have received the Paris j )11.:toils of S ltaiday
and of . yesterday
. . .

The semi-official Patric announces that M. BLON-
DET has refused to accept the office of Minister of
Finance. It is considered as not improbable that
M. ACUILLE FOULD,WhO on Thursday abstained from
voting on the electoral law, may resume the portfolio
of the Minister of Finance.

Oa Saturday M. VITET presented to the Assembly
the report of the Committee on the proposition of the
Questors for the military defence of the Assembly. It
was decided that the report, together with the corre-
spondence which had taken place between the Minister
of the Interior, the Minister at War, and the Com-
mittee should be printed, and that the debate on the
question should take place on Monday.
We read in the Siècle :

" For some days back rumours were afloat of a mo•
dification of the Cabinet, but yesterday a complete
change was spoken of. After the unsatisfactory attempts
in the tribune, made by M. de Thorigny, and still more
by M. Daviel, the two oratorical heads of the combina-
tion, it is impossible for M. Louis Bonaparte not to
think of making an appeal to other devotedness. The
new Minister of Foreign Affairs is spoken of as likely
to be M. Drouyn de l'Huys. Besides, M. Bonsprte's
rupture with the msjoriiy opens henceforward to him a
more extended horizon. He will not now be forced to
choose his Ministers from amongst the narrow circle of
tha pure Elysbaus. What is strange is, that M. Fortoul
appears to be the only person who sees nothing of what
is passing around him. That young naval gentleman
causes it to be announced in the public journals that he is
preparing to go and visit our principal seaports. He has
also just taken an side-de•cacap in the per -n of M. de
Montour, lieutenant in the navy and one of the editors
of the Patrie. Query—ls a Minister of Marine, who
fa neither admiral nor caption of a line-of-battle ship,
absolutely oblited to have an aide•de-camp?"
It is said that the majority refusing the repeal of
the electoral law will be reduced to one, as M. DE
BEAUMONT, who voted for the repeal, has been re-
turned as having voted against it. He demands to
have the error rectified.

M i. LEON FAUCHER and DE MONTALEMBERT voted
against the proposed repeal; MM. RoaRER, ACHILLE
liouLD, and BABOCUP.; abstained from young.
The Constitutionnel has the following under the
head of " imaginary terrors :"
" It is stated that the day before yesterday at the close
of the sitting of the Assembly, and when the majority of
the deputies were preparing to return home, an extraor-
dinary anxiety and emotion was visible among some croups
of representatives. To persons acquainted with Parlia-
mentary habits there were visible every mark of agonizing
agitation. In the first rank were seen the great manceavrers
of that politics 1 guest chamber, which, composed ot violent
Orleaniets and irascible Legitimatists have declared a mer-
ciless war against the Ely., be, and chosen in this memo-
rable campaign M. Changarnier as herald, and M. Beze
as general of the troops. This staff, without troops, ap-
peared to be seized with the greatest exasperation and a
not less pre. occupation. What was the matter? Was
the country on the eve of a catastrophe? .Was the capi-
tal in danger? Such were the questions put by a certain
number of representatives, who were surprised at this
agitation and terror. They were soon intormed that a
formidable crisis was about to commence, that the signal
of a new 18 Brumaire had just been given, and that the
troops were already in movement to accomplish it: I?ur
some time past there has been so many reports of coups
d'etat, which have never come to pass, that
any OHO might be allowed to discredit this account.
Those who believed in the Alais conspiracy,
and who wished others to do so, have, it
must be admitted, lost the right to c',mplain,
of sceptics. These alarming accounts met with un-
believers. A good number of the eeputies refused to
place any faith in the story, and went peaceably home.
Others, it is said, at the entreaty of their colleagues,
waited to watch the course of events. An appeal was, it
is affirmed, even made to the devotedness of some mon-
tagnards under pretext of saving the Constitution, of
defending the tribune, and of preventing a dictatorship.
This is not all; in anticipation of a terrible struggle
the means were arranged for keeping the public au
courant to the particulars of the affair, and the editors
of some journals were invited to concert with the
leaders of the party of resistance, to record in case
of need, these acts of heroism, their victory, and the
defeat of their enemies. At all events, hour after
hour passed sway in dread and apprehension, but no-
thing came. Several representatives, overcome by the
pangs of hunger and fatigue with a useless waiting,
returned home. The sacred battalion of the defenders
of parliamentary prerogative diminished by degrees, but
we aro assured that many of them carried their patience
and courage so far as to remain until a very late hour
at night to wait for this coup &eat, which did nut, how-
ever, make its appearance. At two o'clock in the morn-
ing M. Baze himself retired to his bed. Such aro the
strange scenes which followed the recent vote, if we may
credit the account given to us by several Deputies. It is
added, that in these hours of feverish agitation the most
puerile threats were uttered; we disdain to repeat them,
although we find some trace of them in certain journals,
which ssy that :here is reason to fear a manifestation of
the faubourgs, and that it is time a stop was put to the
demoralization and disorganization of the army. Whilst
the champions of Parliamentary prerogetive, who had
just be'ore treated that ot the President with so little re-
spect, and who apparently had their consciences a little
disturbed, established themselves cn permanence against
a chimerical d Inger, our brave soldiers were sleeping
tranquilly in their beds, and Paris enjoyed the most
perf-et calm."

Several persons liave been arrested, charged with
being members of a secret society, calling itself " The
Young Mountain.'
M. CHETON has presented the follow log proposition,
which has been sent for examination to the Committee
of PArliAmentary Initative

tions of the conscription, and who after having ceased to

to incribe himself on the electoral list, in case his in-
scription has not boen officially made.
" Art. 3. The political domicile in any other place,

relative to public functionaries and to ministers of reli-
gious worship, is maintained. The other articles of the
same law and of that of May 15, 1849. which are not
modified by the preceding clauses, shall continue to be
followed and executed according to their form and tenor.
" Art. 6. From the date of the promulgation of the

of Art. 57, of the law of Msrch 15, 1849, shall kn3w-
ingly take an account of a bulletin the contents of which
is contrary to a constitutional prohibition shall be
punished with a fine of from 100 f. to 1,000 f., and the
Interdiction of political rights for not less than one or
more than five years.
Art. 9. Any elector inscribed who, without an excuse
considered valid by the bureau, shall abstain from vut
lug, shall be liable to a fine of not less than 25t. or more
than 5000

Intelligence has been received of the proceedings of
the expeditionary column in Algeria up to the 7th
inst. It would appear that the attack directed by the
Governor-General on the one hand and by General
CUNY on the other against the M4ikas, who had been
led into revolt by the wild preaching of BoU-BAGLIA
had proved quite successful

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 11th have arrived.
The Spanish Chamber of Deputies was occupied on
the 10A) chiefly with a discussion on the budget. It
was rather animated, in consequence of a proposition
by the minority that each branch of the budget
should be discussed separately, as it was discussed in
the committees. The Chamber passed to the order
of the ctay. One of the Members gave notice of in•
tprpellations on the subject of the insults to the
Spanish flag by American citizens. The discussion
in the Senate on the proposition for a vote of censure
on the Government had not terminated when the
post left.
The herald() states that in the municipal elections
at Painpelima LoGaoNo and ALBACETE, the Pro"
gresista candidates, have he'n ruecessfu;, that at
Santander and Badajoz the Progresistos and Modera-
dles have returned an equal number, and that at
Burgos the Progresistos have returned the majority.
