The Messag•er has the following on the Ministerial

crisis :
"We have to request the reader not to confound
the information which we are about. to give with the
approximate news which find their way
.so easily.
into journals, and often unknown to the chief
.editor.
At a Cabinet Council held a few days back, with the
President of the Republic in the chair, that high
functionary proposed plainly to his
.Ministers. to repeal
the law of May 31. That proposition was ener-
getically opposed by the_ majority of the Cabinet, and
particularly by M. Leon Faucher. The President
having persisted, the Ministers then tendered their
resignation. The Minister of the Interior declared
that for his part he would not keep his portfolio
unless the law in question was maintained, and
M. de Persigny sent away on some foreign mission.
Two days after this council, the Prefect of Police
waited on the President of the Republic, and, after
long and fruitless efforts to convince the head of the
executive power of the danger of repealing the law
of May 31, also tendered his resignation. We are,
consequently, in the midst of a ministerial crisis; it
is even more than a mere ministerial crisis, for the
withdrawal of M. Carlier indicates a change of sys-
tem. Different opinions may be formed of the Pre-
fect o. f Police, but it is the judgment of the public
which fixes the signification of political men, and
public opinion has made of M. Carlier one of the
personifications of resistance to the revolution. The
withdrawal of M. Carlier consequently would signify
that the Government is no longer disposed to persist
in the political system which it has hitherto pursued.
What could confirm this indication is the fact
that
well-informed persons assert that AI. E. de Girardin
bad, three days ago, a conference with the President
of the Republic. M. Veron, it is said, openly. ad-
vocates the formation of a De Larnartine Ministry,
in which, perhaps, M. de Girardin would enter. In
the event of this combination succeeding, measures
of the highest importance would be proposed at the
same time as the abrogation of the law of the 31st
May, such as the abolition of the octroi duties, a re-
duction of the land-tax, and in order to make up
for the deficiency of the budget that this would
occasion, a considerable reduction of the army. There
is finally on the tapis a combination much less eccen-
tric, but whichis more difficult of realization. It is
contemplated to form a Ministry, of which M. Odilon
Barrot and M. Casa Bianca should be members. It
is not probable, however, that M. Barrot would enter
the Cabinet without conditions, and certain conditions
would not be agreed to. All this is grave. It is pos-
Bible,however, that from this mountain there will
only issue a few phrases, in a message, perhaps. It
is, however, the duty of the journals to inform the
public of what passes. Public opinion once warmed
is a force by which many resolutions are destroyed."
