[The following appeared in our Fifth Edition of
ast night:—]
FRANCE.

Galignanis Messenger gives the following account
of the different Members of the new Cabinet :

M. de Thorigny, the Minister of the Interior,
although not much known as a politician, enjoys a
high reputation among the members of the bar of
Paris and the magistracy, having greatly distin-
guished himself when Advocate-General of the Court
of Appeal. He is an able speaker, and is said to
have great administrative capacity. M. de Tho-
rigny is considered to be so important a member
of the new Cabinet, that some of the journals
have called it the Da Thorigny Adminstration.
He is an advocate for the repeal of the
electoral law of 1850, but demands, it is
said, in the re-establishment of universal suf-
frage, the application of all just and salutary
restrictions consistent with the principle laid down
by the Constitution. M. de Thorigny has been
generally regarded as belonging to the moderate
Legitimatist party, but he has no engagements towards
that party to shackle him in the post be now occupies.
M. Corbin, the Minister of Justice, is even less
known as a politician than M. de Thorigny, but his
ability as Procureur- General at Angers, at the time
of the trial of M. Ledru Rollin, in 1840, laid the
foundation of the reputation that he has since had,
and he filled tue same functions at the
Court of Bourges. M. Corbin is a member of the
great party of order, but without belonging to
any particular fraction of that party, as po-
litically represented in the National Assembly.
The Minister of Finance, M. Blondel, is known only
as a man of ability in the Finance Department. As
Inspector- General of Finance he has rendered great ser-
vices to the Government, and which have been warmly
acknowledged by successive Ministers. M. Blondel
has, it is said, introduced some important reforms in
the Finance Department, and recommended others.
M. Blondel was at one time charged with the direc-
tion of the finances in Algeria, and subsequently with
the direction of civil affairs in that colony. He is
now on a mission in Corsica, but it is to be presumed
that his acceptance of the office was considered cer-
tain when the decree by which he is appointed was
drawn up. M. Charles Giraud, the Minister of Public
Instruction, has already held that office. He is a
friend of order, and is generally considered a mode-
rate Republican. M. Lacrosse, the Minister of
Public Works, has also filled that office already
with some distinction. This gentleman has always
shown a warm attachment to the cause of order, and
is said to have a strong personal regard for the Pre-
sident of the Republic. The new Minister of Marine,
M. Hippolyte Fortoul, Professor of Belles Lettres and
Dean of the Faculty of Aix, has acquired some cele-
brity as a writer in the cause of order, although some
years ago he was supposed to have a socialist ten-
denc. At present, M. Fortoul's socialism goes no
further than safe and practical amelioration of the
condition of the working classes. His appointment as
Minister of Marine would excite some surprise, as he
has few of the acquirements which have been long
considered essential for that office, were it not for the
fact that the officers of the navy generally prefer seeing
the post of Minister of Marine filled by a non-naval
man, experience having shown that more impartiality
and independence of the influence of a coterie are to be
expected when that is the case. M. Turgot, the Minis-
ter for Foreign Affatrs, does ho‘nour, it is said, to the
great name that he bears, but hitherto he has not fi-
gured very prominently in public affairs. As a member
of the Chamber of Peers, his votes were al ways on the
side of order and good government. M. Turgot is
Lieutenant-Colonel of the Ist Legion of the National
Guards of Paris. M. de Casabianca, the Minister of
Commerce and Agriculture, has enjoyed considerable
influence in the National Assembly in consequence
of the skill and moderation that he has shown as a
Member of Committees, and although regarded as a
warm partisan of the President of the Republic, he
has ensured the esteem of the leading members of the
Orleanist and Legitimatist parties. Of the administra-
tive capacity of General de Saint-Arnaud, the new
Minister of War, little is known, but as a soldier he
distinguished himself greatly in Africa, and stands
high in the opinion of the superior officers of the army.
The name of M. de Maupas, the new Prefect of Police,
was little knows to the Parisians before his appoint •
ment was announced in the Mallet'? ; but his energy
and activity in the cause of order in the department
of which he was Prefect were well known to the
chief of the Executive Government. Succeeding as
M. de Maupas does to one of the most efficient Pre-
fects of Police that Paris has had for many years, he
will require all indulgence and impartiality. The
proclamation which he has just issued shows his de-
termination to deserve the approbation and co-
operation of good citizens.

LOUIS KOSSUTH.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—A3 France is just now in the same position
as she was previous to the revolution of 1789, and as
it took then a little Corsican (who was an alien) to
rule her destines, and who proved himself superior
(since the time of Charlemagne) to any of the rulers
either as a statesman or warrior, I do not see why
France should not take a lesson from the past, and
supply the future destinies of the Republic with
another alien, in every way Equal to the exigencies of
the times—that alien is L. Kossuth, who, I have
no doubt, should the law of the 31st of May be re-
pealed, would be the future elect of France.
I am, Sir, &c.,
