PARIS, MONDAY.
The Enaperor and Empress were yesterday pre-
sent at tne inauguration of the monument erected
by his Majesty to tile memory of his mother, Queen
Hortense, in the church of Rneil, which also con-
tains the mausoleum of the Empress Josephine.
Their Majesties were received at the entrance of the
church by Marshal Magnan, the Prefect of the
Seine-et-Oise, and the Mayor of Rueil, and after
having received the holy water and the incense
offered to them by the cure of the parish, were can-
ducted in procession to the seats which had been
prepared for their reception in front of the grand
altar. After Divine service, and while the
Orpheonists of Rueil were executing the 0 Salu-
tams, the cure, attended by Ma clergy, proceeded to
the be.nedieti,,n of the inathol .un:t. Their Majesties
then retired amidst the acclamations of the crowd
which had assembled.

The new Ministry of the Prince Napoleon will,
as is known, be composed of the direction of Alge-
rian affairs, now vested in the Minister of War, arid
that of Colonies, now in the Ministry of Marine.
The former consists of four bureaux, the first com-
prising, the general and municipal administration of
Algeria ; the second colonisation, agriculture, and
domains ; the third mines, forests, and various
taxes ; the fourth commerce, customs, and statis-
tics. The direction of colonies also comprises
four bureaux, the first the policy and commerce
of the colonies, the second legislation and ad-
ministration, the third military services and public
functionaries, the fourth - finances and supplies.
The French colonies are divided into ten esta-
blishments :-1, Martinique ; 2, Guadeloupe and
its depoudencies ; 3, the Ile Reunion (Bourbon);
4, Mayottes and dependencies ; 5, French Guiana ;
6, St. Pierre and Miquelon, in the Gulf of St.
Lawrence ; 7, Senegal ; 8, the Isle of Gorea and
its dependencies ; 9, the French establishments in
India, the chief place of which is Pondicherry ; 10,
the French establishments in Oceana. The expenses
of the colonies (not includipg Algeria) are set down
in the budget of 1859:' at. 21,754,724 fr., and
200,000 fr. for the bureaux in Paris. The force
employed in the service of the colonies is 4,860 in-
fantry, 1,077 artillery, and 36 vessels manned by
1,000 sailors.
The lndependance of Brussels, which has been
again admitted into France, places the following
very ju t observations at the head of its leading
column :

" The happy effects of the modifications Welch
have of late taken place in France in the tenden-
cies of the Government are making themselves
more and more felt. Each day brings with it
symptoais of the amelioration which may he ter-
ceTved in the general situation of the country.
Calm and confidence ara reviving there, according
as the remembrance of the former mode of pro-
ceeding is becoming weaker. The nominations
of M. Delangle and M. Devienne, and the appoint-
ment of Prince Napoleon—all tolerant minds with
liberal ideas, are favourable to a fair amount of
freedom—aro so many pledges given to puldic opi-
nion that the time of severity has passed away,
and that France is about to enter on the path of
pacification. That being affirmed, it only remains
for us to hope for analogous modifications in the
intercourse of the country with foreign powers.
As far as diplomatic agents are considered, these
relations have not been troubled, and we have even
seen by the speeches delivered at the Lord Mayor's
dinner that with England in particular they are
re-establisht,d en bases of the most comple'e cor-
etiality. But that is not sufficient; the international
diseu-Ision of the governmental press in Franco with
the English and Austrian journals must calm down
and give way to a feeling more in harmony with the
wants of Europa, which needs tranquillity and
peace."
The Belgian journal concludes by blaming the Con-
stitufrionnel for the unmeasured mariner in which
it has of late attacked Lord Malmesbury and other
statesmen of England.
