FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de France.)
PARIS, JAN. 7.—A1l Royalists will applaud the
first nomination made by the Ministry. The choice
of M. de Belleyme could alone console them for the
loss of M. Delavuu.

TRIESTE, DEC. 20.—We learn by ships lately ar-
rived from the Levant, that the news of the burning
of the Greek fleet at Scio amounts to nothing more
than the destruction of a few small vessels near the
Port of Miconi, and elsewhere.
Letters announce the surrender of the fort of Scio.
This news, though not official, is very probable, for
we know for certain that the bombArdment had com-
menced, and every day caused fires in the fart. To
the uon-official news, we must add, that of the capi-
tulation of Patras, and that of the sailing of the ex-
pedition against Candia.-17orence Gazette.
ODESSA, DEC. 19.—The contrary winds have hin-
dered us from receiving any news from Constanti-
nople later than the Ist of December.

" CHARLES, Scc. S.
" On the Report of our Secretary of State for the Home
Department,
" We have ordained, and do ordain, as follows
1. The Direction of General Police in the Department
of the Interior is suppressed.

" 2. Our Minister Secretary of State for the Home De•
partment is charged with the execution of this Ordinance.'

IL This Ordinance appoints the Sieur (113 Belley me,
Procurator in the Tribunal of the First Instance in Paris,
to the office of Prefect of Police at Paris, in the room• of
Sieur Delavau."

These two Oillinances arc dated the 6th of January.
(From the Quotidienne.)

PARIS, JAN. 6.—lt is asserted that M. de Cham-
pignv, Field-Marshal, Aid-de-Camp of the Dauphin,
has just been entrusted with the regulation of the
army, under the direction of his Royal Highness.
This evening the new Ministers assembled at the
Count de Chabrol's, Minister of Marine.

This morning, before parade, a Lancer entering
into the Court of the Tuileries had his leg broken
by the fall of his horse, which fell upon him. The
necessary help was immediately afforded him by the
King's surgeon.
A Sardinian vessel, which left Genoa to bear the
annual presents of the King of Portugal to the
Monks of the Holy Land, has been pillaged by the
pirates of the Archipelago.
A letter from Cadiz says—
" The French frigate L' A terore, Captain Villaret,
has entered this port expressly to take in a lading of
❑opal (the cochineal tree), and of those precious in-
sects, transplanted for some time past from Mexico
to this country. The French Government seems to
intend cultivating this shrub in Senegal. The Cus-
tom-house officers wished to stop the frigate at the
Mole, and oppose the exportation ; but the Captain
having said that be was only going to Port St.
Mary, and having also no doubt used irresistable
arguments, he was allowed to depart, and go where
he pleased."

POSITION OF THE NEW MINISTRY.

PAR/S, 6.—The new Ministry, which is

' great part the last work of M. de Vißele, endeavours
by all means to wipe away the vice of its origin,
and we shall not reproach it for its solicitude. It
proves, on the contrary, that the Ministry appre-
ciates its position, and that it wishes to throw out
its roots in other than the ground of Jesuitism. We
are not quite certain that its efforts will be crowned
with success. There is a halting in their steps, and
an uncertainty in their plans. We will, at present,
_content ourselves with stating some curious facts,
and accompanying them with some brief reflections.
We know, positively, that M. Portalis, before his
nomination to the Ministry of Justice, wrote to M.
Michaud, Director of the Quotidienne, that he would
only take office with two Ministers taken from the
.
extreme right. - It is now sought to perform this
solemn promise. The King's Household has been
offered to Prince Polignac, yvho little confiding in the
Ministerial future, has not thought proper to accept
it. The direction of Public Instruction was
destined for M. Delalot; but he declared
that he would not form a part of the Adminis-
tration unless M. de In Bourdonnaye were admitted

into it at the same time. The general directions
have been presented to men more or less of the
same opinions. Those who do not look to the pre-
sent merely, have politely returned thanks, and keep a
watchful eye on what passes. 'We have also learnt
that M. Moustier refused the Direction of the
Police and the Communes, a post he occupied for
several years, but which remains stained with the
impression of M. de Franehet. As for the Prefec-
ture of Police, it is said that M. de Vandoauvre,
Ancient Deputy and Procureur General to the Royal
Courts of Rouen, accepts the sanguinary inheritance
of n. Delavau, on condition of not being bound by
any thing he has done.

We can affirm; that no proposition has been made
to the constitutional opposition, which has triumphed
at the last elections, and which, by talent, knowledge,
and number, will have so marked an ascendancy in
the new Chamber. This antipathy, which it would
be easy to explain by the formation itself of the
Ministry, inspires us, in spite of ourselves, with some
doubts of the sincerity of the professions of con-
stitutional faith of the Members of the Council.
Men are also an expression of things, and to repulse
the one is a 'very unsatisfactory guarantee for the
others. Let us, however, wait; the reign of deception
is past; half measures, illusory measures, arc no
longer in season; it would be difficult to make us
take appear; aces for realities. With regard to
things, the following, according to accurate informa-
tion, arc the first measures destined to satisfy public
opinion. A circular of the Keeper of the Seals was
to have appeared to-day, but will appear to-morrow
or the day after; this circular, addressed to the Pro-
cureurs-Generaux of the Royal Courts, enjoins them
to put in execution the laws of the kingdom relative
to assemblies of men. We shall see its drift, and
what will be its probable results. We are not with-
out inquietude for a measure salutary in itself, but
which will be confided to men who owe their posts,
the greater part of them, to M. Peyronnet. An or-
dinance, restricting the number of small seminaries,
is also in agitation. This ordinance, which has slept
these three months in the portefeuille of M. d'Her-
mopolis, has, it is said, had some dissentient voices
raised against it in the Council. Nothing useful will
be accomplished if the small seminaries are not again
brought under the surveillance of the University,
and if they are not reduced to their true destination,
of solely forming ecclesiastics to supply the wants of
religion. Their actual organization is an odious usur-
pation of public instruction. An approaching. re-
organization of the National Guard of Paris is also
talked of. It will be the reparation of a. great in-
justice, and a great fault. All good citizens will
applaud it. It remains to be known upon what
Principles the re-organization is to take place, and if
those principles will be in harmony with the spirit
of our institutions. It is also announced, that the
important question of the late conflicts will be in-
vestigated. It will be a sensible improvement, and
a valuable triumph of opinion, if the plenitnda of
their power, especially
in electoral matters, be re-
stored to the tribunals. Those shocking- conflicts,
which were only raised to deprive citizens of their
rights, were the most violent outrage that the old
Ministry committed upon the nation. That alone
would justify the impeachment of that Ministry.
If we are now asked what we think of the situa-
tion of things, our answer would be easy. We are
firmly convinced that a Ministry, which. does not
free itself completely from the influence of the old
Administration, which thinks to surprise public opi-
nion by insignificant measures and light palliatives,
would be the dupe of its system. To explain, our-
selves
without circumlocution, we will frankly say
that a Ministry, which does not combine the highest
knowledge, with talents tried in the tribunes in de'-
fence of our liberties, would never be sufficiently

powerful to do good, and extirpate the Jesuitical
gangrene which consumes society.
A decision of the Minister of War, dated Dec. 8,
last, directs that from the Ist January of this year,
and until further orders, no man should be admitted
as a volunteer if he does not present a certificate
stating that the number of the effective men of the
corps allows of his incorporation. Nevertheless,
and according to what has hitherto been practised,
there will lie excepted from this rule the volunteer
engagements which may be offered for the Regi-
ments of Cuirassiers and the Foot Artillery of the
Line. Thus every man joining the required condi-
tions, who may ask to serve in one of those Regi-
ments, will be excused presenting the certificate re-
relative to the state of the effective.
The Courier de l' Ain quotes a circular of the same
Minister, of the 4th December, which directs the
return to their homes, until further orders, of a great
part of the contingent of the class 1826, the services
of which had been ordered by the Royal Ordinance
of the 18th November.
