PRIVATE ANL) AUTIIF.NT:e COIMuESPONDENCE

PARIS, J. 11.10.-Tht indisposition of the
Mi-
nister of the Interior for a moment flattered the
Ishopes of his enemies. The King has been sur-
rounded for this last week by all who fatttienl•theY
might have a chance for his place) and whis-
pers and hints have not been wanting that he
does not enjoy the popular confidence. A cer-
tain Minister even propoied to bold a Council of
State without the President. Silence anda look
that spoke volumes was the. reply of his Majesty.
It may be asked what is the, cause of this great
aff.c ion of his Majesty for M. DecAzas i In
the filar place it is the certainty of his attachment
and fidelity, which no,hing can shake ; it is the
consciousness that his views, even when be errs,
are founded on proper bases—that he is entirely
independent of. every Faction, and .that no party
views can ever make him deviate from the line of j

his ditty and its object, the happiness and pros-
peril yof France. A choice might, it is trite, be
made of a more profound !..itateeman end a mote
brilliant Orator, tho' M. Decazcs unites those cha•

racters in a superior degree to tu•,st men; yer, we
repeat it, he has his. superiors in those respects ;
but if we cast our eyes around, where shall we
fitul another who has nut enlisted, and who does

not even n 0.... combat under the banners of oue
Faction or anwher ? IVe should 'have either a

downright Liberal, in whose eyes the new inte-
rests would he every thing and the old ones no-
thing ; or we should have an Ultra, %V 110 troll la
bring back the happy days of the stake and the
block, till he and Allis party were engulphed
to new Revolution, more sanguinary than the last,
%vlitn MARAT's proposition would he literally ee-
citted.—That there are as honest men to be
found as M. DEcizEs cannot he doubted ; butwe

have no hesitation in asserting that if France is.
to be preserved from anarchy, whoever may be
the Minister, he must adopt the political conduct
of M. DFcAzes, or he is cer►ain to tail in the at-
tempt, and a new Revolution will be inevitable.
The new Laws are not proposed so early as
was expected, on account of M. DEcAzEs
indis-
position ; they will be found to be mere modifiea•
lions to give effect to principles' already recog-
nized; they will contain no new ones; but flit
reason why they are so .muck feared is that they
will prevent.abuses, by which at present tinquali-
fied persons evade the Laws, and become Elec-
tors, Candidates., anti Deputies in defiance of (nein.
M. PASQUIELJR said, the persons chosen at the last
Election Ought to be ashamed 'of the means by
which their returns were obtained. The expres-
sion had the colour of justice, but it was too
strong and personal, -and therefore merited the
spirited reply of General PUMARSAY. It is true
that the Liberals ought to be ashamed of their in-
trigues ;- but, at the same time,- those who make
the accusation ought to recollect the !liable of
the mote and the beam." If the Liberals wet e

guilty the Ministry was not innocent, and it is
precisely to prevent the necessity of these in-
trigues that the new Laws are a►lopted.
