The Cabinet Council, which assembled yesterday,
was for the double purpose of considering the new ar-
rangement of the Ministry and the diplomatic mission
to the Congress. It is now fixed that the latter charge
will devolve on the Duke of WELLINGTON ; and that
his Grace will leave town to-morrow or Saturday for
Vienna. The delay that has occurred in nominating
a successor to the late Marquis of LONDONDERRY has
not been in consequence of a difficulty of finding a per-
son qualified for the office of Foreign Secretary, but
on account of the doubts as to who is best able to
take the lead on the Ministerial side in the House of
Commons. One portion of the Ministry, with the
Earl of LIVERPOOL at their head, still persists in the
necessity of retaining Mr. CANNING for that purpose.
—Another party, which includes the LORD CHAN-
CELLOR (who is said to have some personal dislike on
the subject), thinks that the " machine of Go-vern-
silent," as Lord CASTLEREAGH was wont to call it,
may be kept in motion without the assistance of the
Right Honourable Gentleman; and, indeed, as it is
but a sort of Ministerial Tread Mill, in which, like
that at Brixton, the parties, once in, act simultane-
ously, there is perhaps little doubt but they are right.
The Anti-CANNING party are, however, believed to
have a powerful support in the repugnance which
exists in a higher quarter ; and it is believed that no-
thing but a conviction of the absolute necessity of,
adding Mr. CANNING to the present Ministry in order
to keep it together, will change the destination al-
ready assigned him.

French Papers of Monday have been received.—
They confirm the account given in the STAR of yes-
terday from the Bayonne Papers, of the defeat of the
Insurgent Monk, known by the name of the Trappist,
by the Constitutionalists. The rebel leader had a
very narrow escape, and hopes are still entertained
that he will be arrested. _ _ _

The Court of Assizes at Poitiers continued its sit-
ting on the 30th ult. but nothing transpired to throw
the least light on the character of the plot, or of the
principal actors. Witnesses were examined as to the
share which six of the accused, Fradin, Ricque, Lem.
bent, Senechault, Ledein, and Dufresne, had in the
transactions. The testimony was as usual, very con-
tradictory, and the facts proved were very trivial.
The witnesses varied in many instances from their
former depositions, and in other cases pleaded forget-
fulness of facts they had previously sworn to. On the
whole, very little resulted from the day's proceedings.
From the nature of the evidence brought forward,
it is evident that the object of the prosecution is
rather to implicate LA FAYETTE, BENJAMIN CON-
STANT, and the other leaders of the Liberals in the
conspiracy, than to punish those who are now charged
with being its authors ; and that if General BERTON
would lend himself to that view, lie would save his
own life and those of his real accomplices.
A report is given of the proceedings of the Assize
Court at Paris, relative to the affair at Rochelle, on
the 30th and 31st of August, and the Ist of Septem-
ber, but there is nothing interesting in the details.
Lord BURCHERSH, British Minister to the Court of
Florence, arrived at Paris on the Ist inst. from Lon-
(len, and it is said is to proceed to the Congress cf
Verona. Sir WILLIAM A'COURT, the Ambassador to
Si,ain, is also kt Paris on his way to Madrid.
'file Gazette of Augsburg announces that the King
of NAPLES is expected at Leghorn.
M. LEMERCIER, the French Tragic Poet, Author
of Agamemnon, has been engaged two years at
great work, in which he proposes to bring regenerated
Greece on the scene. The title of his work, which is
in a state of great forwardness, is Les Martyrs de
Swill, or Epirus Regenerated.
The Ami dela Churte has given an account of the
affair at Nantes on the 26th ult. which is stated to
frar•c been occasioned by the insolence of the Swiss
soldiers of the garrison, who had on the preceding day
insulted several females, and wounded one with a
sabre. The irritation was increased on the 26th by
the Swiss soldiers, posted near the Place de Com-
merce and the Exchange, maltreating a man whom
they were conveying to the guard-house. In conse-
quence of the al cation which this occasioned, the
Swiss made a clAseon the people who had assem-
