PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
Are I Pasts, t

og Will M. de Villa* keep to himself the depart-
ment of Foreign Affairs ?Shell we see Chateaubriand
again take his seat at the Council Board, as predicted by
the Journal des Debate The law project for the reduc-
tion of the interest of the Rentes, will it be again brought
forward next Session? Will the Members of the Com-
mission named to examine the accounts relative to the
Spanish campaign be hottest enough to denounce to the
world the shameless peculation. practised upon that oc.
casion, and make M. Onvrard render up his ill-gotten
gains ? What has become of the threatened indemnity
to the emigres and the counter-oppositionists--tluis is to
say, the Labourdonnaye party? Such are some of the
principal questions agitated in the political circles
this capital at present. As the greatest number of them
belong to the future, we must consent ourselves wider
conjectures instead of solution. The power of M. Villele
is based in a great measure upon the financial prosper
rity of the country. This Minister saw clearly that pt..
cuniary considerations occupied the frst place in the
minds and hearts of his coontrymen. 'Upon this ircum•
stance, unfortunately too true, be has built his projects.
—Above everything else he has sought to connect in-
dissolubly his maintenance in the Ministry with the rise
of the Funds, and, as it were, to identify himself with
the public wealth, in such a manner as that the port-
feuille cannot be wrested from his bands without the
inevitable consequence being a financial catastrophe.
In this it must be allowed M. Villele has succeeded,,
for even his enemies now confess, that if he should ab-
ruptly quit the management of affairs, the Funds would
in all likelihood fall below 80. This is a powerful consi-
deration in his favour. It cannot, therefore, be denied,
but that he has shewen no little skill and address in thus
taking such a position, as that his disgrace cannot be ac-
complished but at the risk of a public calamity. But is
this position indefinitely tenable'? Does the present
prosperous state of the finances rest upon a solid foun-
dation ? The rapid rise in the funds, is it not a fictitious
one—or dependent upon evanescent circunutanits?—.
Is it not supported by a kind of scaffolding which may
all at once tumble to the ground, and which has actu-
ally appeared in a tottering state within these last
