THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

TUE NEW MINISTRY.

MESSAGE FROM THE PEE`,ADENT TO

THE ASSEMBLY.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Ministerial crisis is over ; the PRESIDENT has
appointed a new Ministry, not one of the members of
which is a representative of the people, and all of
whom are comparatively speaking unknown.
The Assembly met yesterday as usual, and at half'
after three Colonel VAUDRT, the aide-de-camp of the
PRESIDENT of the Republic, entered and banded a
paper to M. DUPIN, the President of the Assembly,
who, after the disposal of the routine business, an-
nounced to the Assembly that be had received a
Message from the PRESIDENT of the Republic, which
he proceeded to read as follows :

" Public opinion, confiding in the wisdom of the
Assembly and the Government, has not been alarmed
by the late incidents; nevertheless, France begins to
suffer by divisions which she th plorcs. My duty is to
do what in me lies to prevent the ill results of them.
The union of the two powers is indispensable to the re-
pose of the country, but as the Constitution has rendered.
them independent of each other, the only condition or
this union is reciprocal confidence. Penetrated with
this sentiment, I shall alvvsys respect the rights of the,
Assembly while maintaining intact the prerogatives of
that power which I hold from the poop's. In order not
to prolong a painful dissension, I have accepted, after
the recent vote of the Assembly, the resignation of a Mt
nistry which had given to the country and to the
cause of order signal pledges of its devotion.
Wishing, however, to reconstruct a Cabinet with
chances of duration, I could nut choose its elements in
majority produced by exceptional circumstance, and
have found myself with regret unable to frame a combi-
nation from among the members of the minority, not-
withstanding its importance.
"In this conjecture, after vain attempts, I have re-
solved on forming a Ministry of transition—of special
men, belonging to no fraction of the Assembly, and de-
termined to devote themselves to affairs, without regard
to party feeling; and the honourable men who accept
this patriotic task will have titles to the gratitude of the
country. The Administration will, therefore, continue
as before; prjudices will be dissipated netora a reseal'
brance of the solemn declaration of the message of
November 12. The real majority will be reconstituteh•
Harmony will be re-established without the two powers
having sacrificed aught of the dignity which constitutes
their strength. France, before all things, desires repose,
and expects from those whom she has invested with her
confidence conciliation without weakness—calm and au"
altered firmness in the right. Accept, M. le President,
the assuruace of a high esteem.
" Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE."
The Message was listened to throughout without
interruption, the attitude of the Assembly being
cool and calm. The new Ministy is as follows
General Rendon, War; Weiss, Interior; Gerrninit
Finance ; Magne, Public Works ; Brennier, Foreign
Affairs; Royer, Justice; Valiant, Marine; Giraudt
Public Instruction; Schneider, Agriculture and Cour
merce.

M. WAISS, the new Minister of the Interior, la
the Prefect of the Department of the North ; M. P°
GERMINY, the Finance Minister, is the Receiver-
General at Rouen ; M. MAGNE, the Minister of Public
Works, was Under-Secretary to M. FOULD, the lan
Finance Minister; M. Dr, Rortu, the Minister 0'
Justice, is the Attorney-General of the Court of AP:
peal of Paris; M. GIRAUD, the Minister of Public
Instruction, is the Inspector-General of the Univerr
sity ; M. tiCLINEIDER, the Minister of Commerce,
the proprietor of lalge iron works at Creuzot. The
War Ministry is entrusted to General RANDON, 50
that of the Marine to Admiral VAILLANT.
When the appointment of the new Ministry, an
the contents of the Message, became known on the
Bourse, the funds at first wavered, but closed with RA
rise on the prices of the preceding day.
The Assembly continued calm, and broke up without the slightest sign of agitation. On Thursday Ni'-1
DE MoNTALEMBEET had a long conference with the
PRESIDENT.

The Patrie thus relates the failure of the attempt
of M. LEON FAUCHER to form a Ministry
A report was current at the Assembly that M. Leos
Faucher had succeeded in forming a Cabinet. The
names mentioned as those who were to enter the Xi'
nistry with him were—General d'Arbouville, for the
War Department; M. Lebeuf, Finances; /41. de FlavigdYt
Foreign Affairs; M. Buffet, Commerce; M. Magee'
Public Works; and M. Lacross, Marine. Our privet;
information enables us to say that this list only existea
in idea. We can even say that, at the present time, the
arrangement of a Cabinet with M. Leon Faucher, takes
from the minority of the 286, may be considered 13..5
having tailed, and as having been completely abandoned.
Other negotiations have been opened."
The following are the chief items of the Bank ac-

The items of this account show an increase under.
nearly every head ; there is a slight increase of gold
in Paris, but 4,000,000 more in the provinces. The
portfolio is improved. The note circulation is over
that of last week. The credit to the Treasury is
3,000,000 moie. What is curious and most gratify-
ing, is, the absence of the usual debit for bills lying
unpaid, and this, for the first time, since the revolu-
tion in February.
