E said that the neutrals would, as on a former occasion,
demand to be allowed to continue their trade with
Buenos Ayres. The English interest might not be
aroused by a first attack, but if the occupation or the
blockade continued too long, that interest might put for-
ward pretensions, and this is a reason not to embark
rashly in a war which was not immediately and
anxiously required by the honour of France. In con-
clusion, the Minister declared that the Cabinet would
not ratify the treaty, nor abandon Monte Video, nor re.
cede before the consequences of the war, but he would
observe that there were duties to be fulfilled before com-
ing to that extremity. After the close of the negotia-
tions the Assembly would be called to investigate the
conduct of the Ministers, who would explain it with the
same frankness they had exhibited throughout the pee_
sent discussion.
The Assembly afterwards rejected five or six amend-
ments to the resolution of the Committee, one of which,
moved by M. Bouvet, proposed that the settlement of
the question be left to the joint mediation of Great
Britain, France, and the United States; and adjourned
at half-past seven.
The debate was to be eontinued on Monday.
The publication of the note which we have quoted
from the Napoleon, and which appears also as com-
muniqué in the Pattie and Moniteur du &Voir, has
occasioned a great sensation, particularly among the
Legitimatists, to two journals of which party it
appears to have been communicated by mistake. The
Opinion Publique, one of the organs of the Legiti-
matists, and which, during the ascendancy of the
De Falloux party, was wont to be favoured with
Ministerial communications, has the following :
The following note has been communicated to us.
It comes from the Minister of Foreign Affairs. [Tho
Opinion Puldique hero quotes the note of the Napo-
leon.] We cannot but remark the singular phrase
underlined in the original, and which we hare printed
in italics—' So long as the Ministers have the confidence
of the President. they meet with no check.' At the
Palace of the Elytee that may be possible, but at
the Legislative Palace it is ;
quite another thing.
The Assembly has, up to this time, passed for being a
power. Who makes the laws ?—is it the President ?
Who votes the taxes ?—is it the President ? Who
regulates the number of the Ministers ?—is it the Pre-
sident ? Who can put the Ministers on their trial ?
is it the President ? Who can put the President on his
trial ?—is it himself ? Louis Xute , it is true, said,
' The State—it is I;' but Louis 'XIV. 'made head against
the whole of Europe; he signed, after twenty vietori l's•
the glorious treaties of Aix-la-Chapelle, Nimeguen, and
Utrecht ; ho beat the fleets of England and Holland ;
he triumphed over the armies of Spain and Italy ; he
had Ministers who bore the names of Colbert, Louvois,
de Lionne, and de Torcy ; he said at the end of his
reign, " The Pyricf ,s no longer exist.' He did not
think that Rosas was a too powerful enemy for France.
A little less vanity in words, or a little more pride in
action, if you please."
The Opinion Publique then adds—
" whilst writing the above lines, a person presented
himself at our office, as sent by the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, to declare, as not apocryphal, but simply ex-
tracted from a journal entituled the Napoleon, the note
which we published; which the Gazette quoted as au
extract from the &Monied jogrPAll which the Ilioni.

teur du Soir inserted as a first paragraph, and the Patrie
as a c,nnmunicated article." [Toe Opinion Publique is
here in error—the Patrie did not give it with the word
communiqué attached to it.] "We have still by us the
envelope of the communication, with the seal of the
Foreign office, and bearing the imprint as coming from
the Cabinet of the Ministry, and it was impossible for
us to state an article as extracted from the Napoleon of
the existence of which we were not aware, which was
transmitted to us by the Cabinet. A verbal request did
not appear to us, therefore, sufficient, and we aro not
called on to repair the blunders which are committed
in Paris."
Another Legitimatjst organ, the Union, also received
the note. It says—
" This note, which was given in two of the eveninc, journals, was forwarded to us under the cover of the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the word communique.
In the evening a person who declared himself to be an
employe of the Cabinet, came and informed us that the
note had been sent without the consent of the Minister,
and that we were requested to consider the note as not
having been sent."
It is supposed that the Cab:net will have a good
majority, as Count MOLE and the Duc DE IhroGmE
are working to counteract the influence of M. Dimas.
It is, however, very evident that the great and corn
pact majority of which the reactionaries were wont to
boast is completely broken up.

A new weekly journal, entitled the Napoleon, an

said to be the official organ of the PRESIDENT of the
Republic, appeared on Sunday. From it we ex-
tract the following remarkable paragraph :
"In consequence of the smallness of the majority
by which some recent measures of the Government
have been carried certain journals, with regard to
whose intentions we may be permitted to doubt,
advise the Ministers to retire. They contend, arguing
from certain customs of the past, that after expe-
riencing such checks, Ministers who have any feelings
of self-respect can no longer continue in the direc-
tion of affairs.
"'lce journals are ignorant, or; eigo:tobe ignorant
of what must be henceforth the position of the re-
sponsible Chief of the Executive Power. In the new
order of things, so long as the Ministers have the
confidence of the President, they experience no
check. Once for all we warn the obstinate defenders
of the old constitutional routine, that the chief of the
state will retain his Ministry in spite of all jealous
attacks and that the deplorable fact of Ministerial
instability will no longer be reproduced at the bidding
of Parliamentary ambition."
It is said that Marshal MARMONT arrived in Paris
on Sunday.
General TITTE is abcillt to proceed from Brest, on
a tour of inspection, to, the French colonies in the
Welt Ifylies, and on the West,COast'ofAirica.

The Assembly met yesterday, at three o'clock.
M. Baroche, Vice-President, took the chair.- .
After the Secretary had read- the minutes of the pre-
ceding sitting,
M. Laussat ascended the tribune, and complained of
an omission in the report. On Saturday, when M. Thiers
defied any Member of the Assembly to proclaim himself
the partisan of the treaty concluded by Admiral Le
Prodour, he had risen and declared that he was ready to
accept it. The fact, he thought, should have been no-
ticed by the secretary.
A ballot next commenced for the election of the
President of the Assembly, which gave the following
result:—

M. Granier developed his amendment amidst the noise
of private conversation.
The amendment was next put from the chair, and
rejected.
Another amendment was presented by M. de Rance
to this effect—" Whereas the treaty of Admiral La
Predour has not ben submitted to the ratification of
the National Assembly; where'll/ the Government de-
clared that it intends to continue the negotiations, with
a view to guarantee the honour and interests of the Re-
pu lie, and that in all cases our countrymen shall be
seriously protected against the contingencies which
might menace them on the banks of La Plata, the As-
sembly passes to the order of the day."
Several other amendments were next read by the
President, but the Assembly having decided that the
discussion should open first on that of M. de llancd, the
latter rose and said that the speech delivered by M.
Rouher on Saturday clearly indicated the intentions of
the Government. The Minister had formally declared
against the ratification of the treaty and the abandon-
ment of Monte Video, and the Assembly ho trusted
would see the necessity of leaving the Cabinet its full
liberty of action.
M. Daru, in tho name of the Committee, declared
against the amendment and all the others, and called on
the Assembly to vote the resolution submitted to it by
the Committee, which had been the result of a serious
inquiry and a solemn debate. The Committee was de-
termined not to make the sacrifice of its convictions to
anybody, even at the risk of its members being charged
with personal ambition, as asserted in two semi official
journals.
Here the Minister for Foreign Affairs rose and stated
that the article alluded to had emanated from his mi-
nistry, but without his knowledge or participation.
The moment he heard of its existence he hastened to
disown it.
M. Darn again insisted on the adoption of the resolu-
tion of the Committee, which required the executive
power to support the negotiations it intended to open by
a force sufficient to insure their success, and protect the
French residents at Monte Video.
The Minister of Justice, in the name of the Cabinet,
adhered to the amendment of M. de Racal. Twenty
Mt.mb,-!rs having demanded for a division, a ballot com-
menced which was still proceeding at post hour.
M. Francisque Bouvet had presented the following

Tho Mountain also proposed an amendment, signed
by Messrs. Cholat, Jules Favre, and Duct* It was as

" Art. I. Previous to all negotiation the French En-
voy shall order General Oribe to raise the siege of Monte
Video and remove his camp to the right bank of the
river Santa Lucia.
"Art. 2. Should General Oribe refuse to accede to
those preliminaries, the French negotiator is authorized
to employ force to relieve Monte Video and cause tlie
independence of the Republic of the Uruguay to bo
respected."
The National Assembly afterwards adopted the
amendment of M. de Ranks', by a majority of 338 to 300.
The first article of the Bill, granting an extraordinary
credit of 1,800,000 f. to the Government, to pay the
subsidy due to Monte Video was afterwards voted, as
well as the two remaining articles, wizhout any dis-
cussion. The whole Bill was next adopted by 496 to 88.

All this had created considerable sensation in Madrid ;
but it was believed that it was much exaggerated.
Royal decrees in the Gazette announce the appoint-
ment of M. J. DE LA CRYZ OSES to the post of
Under- Secretary to the Department of the
Interior, of M. BALLESTERO3 to the Director-
Generalship of direct taxes; and another decree
transfers the management of all affairs respect-
ing what are called the passive classes of state cre-
ditors to the Minister of Finance. The Chamber of
Deputies, on the 31st ult., was occupied in discussing
the validity of certain elections. On the Ist postal
reform came into operation, and stamps for prepaying
letters were issued for the first time. There was a
report that the Cortes would be dissolved after the
discussion of the budget. The Three per Cents. on
the Ist were done at 291 (ex. div.), but that day being
a holiday the Stock- Exchange was not open.

TURKEY,' AND RUSSIA
Great doubt exists as to the - truth .-; of the
400ouncement. of the settlement of.. the_.#usao-,
Turkish question. Russia is, it
_is Said;'lnoceliver,
Ing to g t dine, and. the Em-PERoic .11a,steinsed'
tq` cc pt the guarantee ',,offered- try iiitr
on the subject of the Polish refugees, and insists on
their expulsion. The Ministers of the Divan, ofl the
17th ult., 'met in a grand Council; and,. it.is stated,,
gave an important dkision; to the effect that they
will not resume negotiations but on the footing pre-
viously proposed and adopted by M. TITOFF and M.
STURALER and the Porte.
On the 15th the SULTAN suddenly made his
appearance at the Grand Council while the
Ministers were in full discussion, and joined
in their labours for upwards of an hour.
Subsequently, in a neat speech, he recommended
union, and caused the Ministers to take each a
solemn oath, to the effect that party spirit will be
done away with henceforth, and that no animosity
should exist among their ranks, which ought at the
present time to be directed in guarding against the
enemies of the state. The warlike preparations of the
Porte still continue. The militia pours in daily, and a
few days back recruits of Rumelia began to make
their appearance. In this city there is such• a
flux of troops that the barracks are crowded,
and about seventy khans (caravanceras) are occupied
by the new comers. The several strongholds of
Turkey are likewise being fortified—among others,
a mint of money is being spent on the fortress of
Shumla.

A few days back a three-decker was launched.
General DEmtnoFr, at the head of 4,000 Russians,
has entered Thalia, in direct contravention of the

tinople of the same date state that the refugee question

GREECE.
Intelligence from Athens has been received to the
21st ult. On the 18th the Canaris Ministry resigned,
