Chambers) exists, so long will France be in a convulsed
state. If the Ultra-Royalists obtain any appearance of ascen-
dency, the Ultra-Liberals will not fail to alarm all those
whose interests arc connected with the Revolution ; and as to
the ascendancy of the Ultra-Liberals, that never can take_
place. If it does, adieu to the Bourbon's, and to the
peace of Europe. The French would not content them-

and extend the blessings of Liberty and' EqUality to their
Spanish, Italian, Belgian,and German neighbours. It there-
fore requires an able Minister to keep the extreme factions in
France within bounds, and it appears to ate that the labours
of M. Decazes were entirely directed to prevent either of the
two Ultra patties getting the upper band, as both were
equally dangerous to the very existence of the Monarchy;
but'as that was not possible, he was 'obliged to retire. It is
also possible that some coup jet& is in meditation, to which
he was perhaps not inclined to give his Sanction. All I know is,
that a Civil Government is not Calculated for Fra'nce; and bad
Bitonaparte granted the Liberty of the Press and of Pavan/age,
he, with alibis military glory, power, police, gene d' arn:ies and
'snouehards, would not have kept his ground. France cannot
be compared to any other Nation because no ether Nation
experienced such a Revolution as she has, consequently no.
Prime Minister in that country is on a bed of roses. It is ri-
diculous to-suppose that M. Decazes resigned on account of
the aesassination of the Duc de Berri. How could that MI;
nisterc or any Minister, prevent a:crime perpetrated by a So..'
litary individual—for up to ibis hotir no proof exists of there
having been ft:conspiracy ? But then,
.say. the Ultras; the
Minister allowed the Minerva and the Conslitatioxnel to pro-
pagate their poisonous doctrines. But did not the Ultras
themselves wish the restrictions on the Press talien*off ?
It was demanded by both of the extreme parliee, and
the Minister was obliged to submit. Again and again.
I say, that it will he impossible for any Minister to
carry any measure whatever, so long as there are two
oppositions in the Chambers, which will'always be the case,
unless the Minister makes common cause with either of
the extreme parties, and such a coalition will and must lead
the Monarchy to ruin. These are my opinions—and opinions
only.—l hope I .may be In error. I bad written thus far
when the French Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday last
arrived. The Moniteur of Tuesday contains Official °talon-
nances, completing the Ministry of the interior, which is now
divided into two branches, viz.: Count Simeon, out long since
appointed Provisional Keeper of the Seals 'during the ab-
sence of M. de Serres, is the new Minister of the Interior,
and Baron Motinier (formerly one of Boonaparte's Private
Secretaries), is Director-General of the Police (which was '
united ; with the Ministry of the Interior). Count Portalis
(Seiretary of Legation in this country during the peace of
:Ainieraylvail been appointed under 'Secretary of State in the '
Ministry of Justice. It is very- extraordinary that the Duke
4e Richelieu has not been-appointed to any department—he
is merely President of the Council of Ministers. These
very nominations, 'aired of contradicting what I hare above
written. ennfirns as the new Ministers are Constitu-
tionalists-.4consequentlithe'Ultra-Sayalists have not gained
any thing by the removal of the Duc Decazes. This shews
that that blinister was per/maul& sacrificed, as the syitem is
just the sante: Indeed, extraordinary talents excite envy
moon all classes and in all countries. The King of France
by. these new appointments could net have siven a stronger
proof of his satisfaction of the line of conduct purined by the
late Premier. • It will he curious to sec haw the Ultra-
Royalists will be pleased with these new apPO'ntments.

*** As the Doc DECAZEI is coming to. this
Country as Representative of his Sovereign, it is
proper that his character should be rightly under-
stood. IVe have, therefore, extracted •the fore-
going article front a respectable Weekly Journal,
the Editor of which is well known to be peen
-
flatly conversant with the affairs and characters
of France. It fully confirms the opinion of this
Nobleman, as expressed by our own Correspon-
dent in Paris, whose Letter we inserted yester-
day.
