M. LEON FAUCHER had addressed to the FRESI
DENT the following letter, refusing the nomination to
be Consultative Committee :

" Paris, Dec. 3.

" Mons. le President,—lt is with painful astonishment
that I see my name figure amongst those members of an
Administrative Commission that you desire to institute.
I did not imagine that I could have given you the right
to offer me this insult (injure). The services which I
have rendered you, while believing I rendered them to
the country, perhaps authorised me to expect from you
a different return. In any case, my character merited
more respect. You know that during my career, already
long, I never belied my principles of liberty, no more
than my devotedness to the cause of order. I have never
participated, directly or indirectly, in the violation of
the laws, and to determine me to decline the mandat that
you confide to me, I have only to recal that given me by
the people, and which I yet retain.—Accept, Monsieur le
President, the homage of my respect.
(Signed) " M. LEON FAUCHER."

Paris :
" Considering that the sovereignty resides in the uni-

General CASTELLANE has addressed the following
telegraphic dispatch to the Minister of War :—.
"Lyons, Dec. 1, Half-past Oae A.M.
" The counter-order for the movement of the 30th
reached the Secret Societies at Lyons on the 29th. At
Chabeuil (Drome) an innkeeper was arrested on the
29th of November, at eleven o'clock in the evening, with
a double barrelled musket loaded, making an appeal to the
freres, and crying, •Let us arm! Let us burn the
canaille!' A patrol of gendarmerie disarmed him.
That was the only place at which there was a commence-
ment of execution. On other points, menaces of pillage
and fire were made on the 29th."

It is said that Generals CAVAIGNAC, CHANGAN..
NIER, and BELEM' and M. THIERS have been trans-
ferred to the chateau of Ham. General BEDEAV
suffers severely from the wound which he received
whilst resisting his arrest.
M. LAGRANGE has been arrested, as has, it is said,
M. MICHEL DE (BouaGas), who attempted to
harangue the people on the Boulevards. M. RECURT
and Ducoux are also arrested.

Amongst the placards posted up last evening, is
the, following composition of the Ministry :

Interior— M. de Morny.
Finance ... M. Fould.
Justice ... M. Reuben
Public Works ... M. Magne.
Marine ... ... M. Casablanca.
War - Gen. St. Arnaud.
Public Instruction ... M. Fortoul.
Foreign Affairs ... M. Turgot.
There appears to be some hitch in the formation
of the Ministry, as the 211oniteur states that no
Ministry has been definitively formed.
