PARIS, Nov. 24.

(From the Morning Herald Private Correspondent.)
The internal affairs of France have taken an unexpected
turn. The management of the Doctrinnaires has been ad-
mirable, and crowned with success. The triumph of M.
Dupin and his party has been so far beyond their own
hopes as to have thrown them off their guard. The de-
feat of the Liberaux has been so complete as to reduce
them to sullen opposition.

The first trial of strength of these parties occurred in
the choice of the Chairman and Secretary for each of the
nine Bureaux or Committees into which the Chamber i f
Deputies is divided. Of these nine the Gauche were
only able to procure the return of one of their party.
The next essay was the election of aPresident of the Cham-
ber. The contest lay, as you know, between M. Laffitte
and M. Dupin, and was decided by the throwing of the
whole might of Ministerial influence into the scale of the
latter, which gave to him an immense preponderance ; of
the election of Vice-Presidents I shall say nothing ; but
the third grand struggle took place yesterday, on the ap-
pointment of a Committee of Nine, to draw up the Ad-
dress in reply to the Speech from the Throne. Here the
Doctrinnairestriumphed—theDupinites exhibited weak-
ness, and the Gauche manifested impotency. Of these
nine not one belongs to the Liberal party, as will be seen
in the following brief recapitulation :
The first on the list, M. Lepelletier d'Aulnay, is the
ftther of the Doctrinnaires (M. Royer Collard). Al.
Madier de Montjaud, is the elect of M. niers. M. de
Schonen is the candidate of the Camarillo. M. Martin,
the cypher of the Minist.r of Finance. M. Keraty is a
professed Doctrinnuire, but so versatile and so otherwise
ridiculous, that his election is calculated more strongly to
evince the strength of the Doctrine, than was the choice
of the protege of Royer-Collard himself.' M. Vatimesnel
is a man still more strongly opposed to liberalism than M.
Keratry. M. Pelet de la Lozere is a calculating time ser-
ving person, who held a Prefecture during " the hundred
days ;" and on his retreat from office after the battle of
Waterloo, prudently erased his name which he bad ap-
pended to the acts addi,ionel. Those seven are the Re-
presentatives of Ministers and the Doctrine in the Com-
mittee of Nine appointed to prepare the address. The
remaining two, MM. Etienne and Berenger, are Depu-
ties, men possessing more talent than the other seven, but
although they may induce the majority to adopt
verbal amendments or rhetorical flourishes, the seven
will outvote them, and draw up an add tees per-
fectly in the Ministerial sense. Thus am I justified in
saying that the management of the Ministers and Doctrin-
naires has been admirable and successful—thatthe Dupin-
itea, have been thrown off their guard, and consequently
defeated—for the moment--and that the Liberaux have

been totally discomfited. A peat deal more might be
said on this subject, but I think I have given you quite as
much of it as, at this moment, or rather at this crisis, you
would endure. I may be permitted to observe, however,
that the Opposition has not been deserted by a single
man. The Moderes have preferred Ministers, but their
leader, M.Dupin himself, is so excitable, th it there can be
no tenacity in the union with them which the Doctrin-
naires imagine they have cemented. The Gauche will
remain a compact, firm, inflexible phalanx, and will as
certainly triumph in the end, as did the Reformers in the
British Parliament.

Public opinion continues divided on the subject of the
pistol-shot fired as the King passed the Pont Royal on
Monday last. lam again assured that a man did actually
fire that shot, and I have the authority of an Ex-Judge of
one of the Com to of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland for saying that " no man ever received his ad-
versary's fire with worse grace than did the King of the
French." In making this remark, my fire-eating country-
man meant not, I am sure, to attribute to his Majesty
Louis Philip any undue portion of nervousness ; still he is
culpably critical. His own experience in those matters
has been so great as to deprive his auricular organ of all
sensibility ; but he ought to recollect that it was not ever
thus.

That cocking of a pistol"
