MAJORITY FOR THE FRENCH MINISTRY
PARIS, THURSDAY EVRNINO.

The Chamber having passed yesterday from th•
general discussion to the paragraphs of the Address,
M. de Came proposed the following amendment to
the first paragraph :
" Our labours ended a few months ago in th•
midst of complication that clear-sighted and firm
conduct might have prevented, or terminated in a
more satisfactory manner."
The amendment was to-day sustained by Messrs.
Cremeux and Billault, and opposed by M. do Gas-
perm and the Minister of the Interior, after which
the question was put to the vote, when there ap-
peared :
Against the amendment 223
For it .

Majority for Ministers .... 28
The Chamber rose at a quarter past six o'clock.
Thus the question of confidence raised upon the
first paragraph has been settled in spite of the co-
alition ; for although the paragraph related to Mo-
rocco merely, yet the amendment was so worded as
to affect the whole policy of Ministers.

Our correspondent, writing at seven o'clock, says
that the result, considering the coalition, is of the
most satisfactory character in the estimation of well-
informed political persons.—Herald.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 21.—The Chamber of Represen-
tatives discussed and adopted to-day the project of
law on the importation of cattle. It then proceeded
to the project of law relative to contagious diseases
among cattle. Articles 1,2, and 3 were agreed to.
The King of Bavaria has just adopted an important
measure respecting the navigation of the Rhine ; he
has decided that goods embarked in one of the ports
of Rhenish Bavaria shall enjoy the restitution of all
tolls coming to Bavaria, in the whole portion of the
river through which they have passed.
This measure, which has been long since adopted
by France and Holland, must necessarily be adopted
by the other States on the banks of that river, if they
will not see their ports deserted for those of Bavaria.
It will lead sooner or later to the complete abolition
of the Rhine toll, which is absolutely necessary, if
the navigation of the river is to support the competi-
tion with the railways.
The King will not set out for Ardenne until to-
morrow. His Majesty will be accompanied in this
excursion by Mr. Conway. His Majesty will pro-
bably go also to St. Hubert, and will return by the
end of the month.
CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 31.—1 t is well known that
about four years ago the French Ambassador promised
the protection of his Government to the charitable
society fur the relief of poor Franks (Societa Com-
merciale Artigiana), which led to unpleasant discus,-
sions with some representatives of Roman Catholic
Powers whose subjects would not have the protection
of a foreign Power forced upon them. The
conduct of the French Legation was considered
to be wise, as a new attempt to appear as the first
protecting power of the Catholic interests in the East,
which must seem the more strange in the present case,
as the question related to a temporal, purely charitable
institution, in which all nations took part. An
arrangement has been made by which the Societa
Artigiana is to be successively, for one year, under
the protection of the Catholic Powers which have
representatives here, in alphabetical order. Austria
will be the first for 1845.

There have not been any arrivals of late dates from the
Colonies anr.ounced in the course of the morning. The
trade of the port of London is at present extremely
animated, the recent arrivals from almost all parts of the
world having increased enormously the quantity of tonnage
of goods, and requiring almost incessant labour, so that the
