The following is from Galign a: izi's Messenger :
"We can positively state t b at there is no truth
whatever in a report given in ti 'veral English jour-
nals, to the effect that the r quis of Normanby is
about to be replaced by Sir He o ry Bulwer as British
Ambassador in Paris.

General Cavaignac was me r tied the day before
yesterday to Mademoiselle Odi( 0 , the grand-daughter
of M. Odier, member of the Co, i sultative Commission.
The civil ceremony took place at the Mairie of the
3d arrondissement, and the rel ig ious ceremony at the
Church of the Madeleine. Th( 3 parties were attended
by a numerous circle of friend a . The General and
his bride persevere, it is said, , in their intention to
travel to the south.

The Constitutionnel devotee t nearly a page to an
article on the subject of the r isignation of Lord Pal-
merston. More than half of i e however, consists of a
notice of the causes assigned' r the English journals
for the retirement of Lord Pi di nerston. We extract
as follows the concluding po rt ion of the article :
"We shall confine ourselves lei summing up the re-
proaches addressed abroad to Lord Palmerston, to
quoting the repartee of an E. si elfish statesman, when
he was congratulated on tI ie tranquillity of his
country. How can Engler: d be anything but
quiet ? All our firebrands, a ll our casse• 0028, all
our sour-tempered men are e: cl ported by Lord Pal-
' merston, and engaged in diplor a acy. We must, how-
ever, be just towards an adve: ary. In spite of the
incessant attacks of which he has been the object in
England and on the continent , Lord Palmerston will
carry with him into retirem 31 it lively and not un-
merited sympathies. He is in d ebted for them partly
to his personal character, and pi irtly to his incontest-
able talent. Ic is forty-five y ears since Lord Pal-
merston entered into politi cal life, and more than
forty since he began to take t t part in the manage-
ment of public affairs. No i ire , in Europe has more
experience and practical line w ledge of international
policy ; no one is more con- rei 'sant with"the text of
treaties and the general inte. ?a, its of nations. If the
impetuosity of his character tee ids him a',; times into
embarrassments, he possesses a nexhaustible resources
both of words and conduct to extricate himself from
them. Thus, the Times, w hi eh has been bii most
bitter opponent, recently said, 'lf one could forget
the welfare of the country for , a moment, one would
be pleased to see Lord Palmei •st on make a false step
fur the pleasure of seeing w it Is whit extraordinary
dexterity he recovers himself Lord Palmerston is
one of the first orators of tb is House of Commons ;
he is the only man who is able to make head
against Mr. Disraeli by the vies .city of his epigrams,
and the abundance of his sha rg retorts. His words
lbw clearly and elegantly, art d he has wonderful
power of argument; he knov ss how to win over his
auditory, and to skilfully are use rational suscep-
tibilities, and no one has ever known how to better
turn to account that honour et Is and popular sen-
timent knowe in France and 3f the name of Chau-
vinisme , and he has alwa is found, under critical
circumstances, a secure res, )u: •ce and an infallible
effect in it. Amiable, gay, ar d spirituel, he is, in
spite of all, the favourite of a pi ,rty in the House of
Commons and of the English r 13 .ion : no one is more
insinuating when he wishes to please—he succeeded
in fascinating M. Thiers, and it after 1840. Strong
in his long experience, and his, talent as a statesman
and an orator, and in his pope larity in the House
of Commons, Lord Pahnersiscs s has always shown
himself absolute in his depart ea ent. He has never
permitted the slightest centre d lotion either from his
subordinates or from his coil as gues. He exhibited
in the exercise of his functio• as the most admirable
zeal and assiduity. Notwitl is :ending be is nearly
seventy years of age, he was t, tie only Minister who
never kept holiday even in the ii iterval of the sessions,
who never missed attendance S t a council, and who
did not pass a day without Fes ttiog all bis business
in a proper train. It might be said that all the
places in the Foreign-office w .e so many sinecures,
because Lord Palmerston ito ver suffered a single
employe to assist him in his 11 ,bours. That part of
the character of Lord Palm, ne iton which has made
him the most enemies abroa,i, is also that which has
caused his countrymen to proC lon his faults. He is
thoroughly an Englishman. rhatever may happen
in any part of the world where, an Englishman is im-
plicated, Lord Palmerston im m ediately, without ex.
&mining into the merits of the case, took the part of
his agent or his countrymen. He loudly expressed
and obstinately maintained ai ly opinion which he
bad once advanced. It was ti 015 feeling which im-
plicated him in so many cr au rrels, which were at-
tended with different results; b at this ardour, which
could not fail to raise hostile feelings against him,
had its source in a sentime n t which the popular
masses in England would re a, lily pardon. An ex-
aggeration of patriotism is a fi ult which the people
readily
.forgive in stateagan.-+lriviiuldlihrew
inqtnre as to what the effec' t of the retirement of
Lord Palmerston on the polit is s of Europe may be.
We shall merely say that this s tatesman, whose pene-
tration no one ever disputed, / in derstood from the very
first day the real character a nC l all the bearing of the
events recently accomplished ,in France. While a
portion of England yet hesit a, ted, Lord Palmerston
had with sagacity and frankn
,s admitted the salu-
tary influence of the Revolut it ,n of Dec. 2. He has
opened the eyes of his county yt aen on this point, and
his judgment has on this occte ;its n been ratified by the
whole of Europe. Perhaps Li /rd J. Russell may
soon, with regard to Lord Pal ra erston, repeat the old
remark, that no man can li vi either with him or
without him.' He could not taro Lord Palmerston
without seeing the immedi at s dissolution of his
Ministry. On the other hal ad the ex-Minister of
Foreign Affairs served as a bo! ad between the Cabinet
and the Radicals, whose suppelt was indispensable to
it. This bond being broke; ilf Lord John Russell
does not succeed in forming a, lot Iher alliance, he may
at the opening of the session, thi it is to say, in six
weeks, find himself under the
.necessity of quitting
office, or of dissolving the House of Commons. What
a strange destiny is thit of a Min ister, whose presence
in office or whose retirement fr on I it, is equally fatal
to his colleagues 1"
