OPINIONS OF THE FRENCH JOURNALS.

This conclusion of s deliberation so long and painful must be sa-
tisfactory to the public, first, because it has put an end to afflicting sus.
pence, and to intrigues for replacing the Ministers who had withdrawn
themselves ; and, next, because the names of the new ministers are, in
the absence of acts, pledges of their honest and patriotic intentions.
The two Peers who complete the coutposition of the Cabinet have
already given guarantees of their devotedness to the revolution, the one
by baring fought in the ranks of the people, with a bravery worthy of
so glorious a cause, and the other by executing the perilous and dell.
cate commission that consummated the expulsion of Charles L. and his
family from the kingdom. Such men will never show weakness In the
face of our enemies.—Jomreal de Commerce.

The suspense in which the public has been so long kept, as to the
formation of the ministry, has at length ceased. Baron Louis, Count
Mole, M. Guizot, and the Duke de Broglie, who, remaining under the
influence of the doctrines of the restoration, were incapable of compre-
hending the claims of the revolution of July, have been succeeded by
men who ought to inspire the nation with greater confidence, and whose
names are guarantees of ample capacity, and, above all, the most perfect
integrity. This new combination cannot fail to impress a greater spirit
of freedom upon the measures of government, without alarming the most
timid. Composed of such men as Messrs. Lsfitte, de Montalivet,
Dialson, and Merilhou, the new Cabinet may present itself with con•
fidence before the people, and consequently before the Chambers. We
may now expect to see a decisive system, and, in fact, a real govern.
ment.—Joitrata de Paris.

We cannot say whether the forceable of the New Ministers cm:widely
satisfies these who thought the presence of the Dostrinaires in the
Council an obstacle to the development of the consequences of the revo-
lution. This is not the question. It is impossible to please every body.
What we have to inquire is, whether the Chamber will act in concert
with the new Ministers, and whether the radical vice: which existed in
the Cabinet, as it was composed after the events of July, will not be
found in the present arrangement. The most eminent men of the late
Ministry were long attached to legitimacy. They contributed to the
two restorations. They opposed, in the early pert of the reign of
Louis XVIII. what was then called the revolutionary spirit, and re.
mined, if not an attachment for legitimacy, an aversion at least to the
contrary principle. They were afraid of the revolution being accom-
plished. Hence proceeded all their errors. In order to struggle against
the progressive march of affairs, which in their opinion was squire.
lent to the idea of subversion, they were obliged to borrow arms from
the system of the restoration. The new Ministers will not be afraid of
the revolution. They will sympathise with it. This is a very bu.
aortant condition of governing at this moment. But do the conditions
capacity accompany it t We are willing to believe they do. Bow.
ever, we do not know Marshal Mahon as a diplomatist, or M. de Mon.
talivet as an administrator. These two appointments excite extreme
:uprise. We sincerely wish they may hereafter prove satisfactory.—
National.

The new Ministry proceeds from the mines gatsehe, and it tends 1
to the crimes* gauche. It has arisen out of the threatened resignatione
ut M. Dupont and General Lafayette, and proves that they alone have
the power of managing that which they alone have created. In them
!esitlee the entire principle of the Administration. Before we pro.
nounce a judgment upon men, we are bound to wait for their actions,
but we may be allowed to anticipate from their former line dumdum,
chat will be the principles of their future proceedings.--Le Tempe.

The new Ministry is so constituted that the party represented as ex•
creme cannot attribute to themselves a complete victory, and those who
rretended to be under alarm, can no longer find any pretext for their
apprehensions. It is a point gained to have escaped from the crisis in
which we have been kept for ten days, and to have got through it with
a decided improvement in the composition of the Cabinet. At the same
time, though we approve of the change, we are far from believing that
it wiU afford a remedy for all the difficulties of our present situation :
we know no men in the world capable of performing so greet a prodigy.
We do not expect to see the depressed state of commerce vanish as by
enchantment—to find all discontent disappear, all ambitious demands
given up, and confidence restored at once. We do not even hope to find
in every member of the Cabinet that union of firmness and ability
which is requisite to repair all the errors that have been committed, and
to answer all the exigencies of a position filled with difficulties. But
there is every ground for anticipating progressive ameliorations,—there
iv a guarantee to be found in the names, and a confidence arising from
the weU•known characters, of those in whose bands power is now placed.
This is an incontestable progress.--Courier Francais.

If the acts of the new ministry are in conformity with our upsets.
?ions, it will enjoy a hog and successful career in spits of the oppo-
sition which the aristocracy will raise against it from its very birth. It
cannot fail to produce beneficial effects, for the whole nation will lend its
strength and support--Tribuiso des Diparkwas.

We shall say nothing of the new members who have entered the Ca-
binet, and France will inquire little about them. But what is of great
Importance to France is, the ensemble of the names struck out of the
hat of the Counsellors of the Crown. She will ask what unknown
tempest drives far from the avenues of that throne, raised by France as
shelter against storms, Messrs. C. Perrier, Oulsot, Molt, Broglie,
and Dupin, the eloquent and courageous leaders of our long oppo-
sition, tribunes in tranquil dines, and ministers in times of danger..—
Among these names there is not one in which France might not trust
with security ! It was in the midst :of the great struggle of the nation
that they arrived at power, when power was to be established, or rather
when it was still at St. Cloud, when to assume it was attended with the
risk of life, when it was uncertain whether both a foreign and civil war
would not break out, in short, when there were required more resig-
nation, courage, and devotedness, to accept the Government, than
there is ambition in seeking foe it in peaceable times. These men
ro longer form a part of the King's CounelL--Journal des Debate.

SPAIN A NDPORTUGA L.
limos, OCT. 11—The following are the names of the members at
the committee d the Salm Public:—Prior Mor do Cristo, Brap mid
&halo, prints ; Berate, Belton, and Cud, magistrates; Poems,
Mosinho, and Voltam°, military. The last named is the resident if
the tantalite', ankthis assembly is answerable for ha acts neither

to the tribunals, the Prefect of Police, nor the Keeper of the Seals.
The committee has power to ordain the attestation of whole families:
amongst ice numberless victims are many priests and stooks. The
prisoners are thrown into dungeons, and thaw nested so barba-
rously, that one of them has committed suicide at St. Julio.
The authority of :he President Verissimo is of such a despots
nature, that lately he did not hesitate to strike the son of the Pre-
fect of Police. It is, indeed, generally believed that these tyran-
Ideal measures have been concerted with the British and ;Spanish Go-
vernments. The acknowledgment of Don Miguel by England is much
spokes of. This will be a new motive of hatred towards the British
peaky—hatred in which all the Portuguese join indiscriminately. No
Government ever suffered inch affronts from another as that of England
from MigueL Two Englishmen have been beaten by some royal vo-
lunteers. We learn that their names are Walker and Cartwright. The
tyrant Miguel has failed once more in his attempts to negoclate a loan
of 400 cantos (about 3,000,000 francs) with the bank of Lisbon His
agents were Maui and Cordeiro. The directors of the bank rejected
their propositions, and they have not been able to assemble even 12
pesprietors for the convocation of a general meeting. The Prevotal
Oust of Porto has just summoned several persona to appear before its
bar within the delay of 60 days. The law concerning the passports
hes just been put in execution to its utmost extent. It Is hardly pos-
sible to travel through the country. The road to Spain is especially
intercepted and almost prohibited. The troops are marching
to the frontier ; they having just received orders to pass it, and to pro-
ceed to (support the Spanish Royalists against the Constitutionalists.
The Cabinet of Lisbon is in perfect harmony:with that of Madrid.—
We all look forward to General Seldanha. His name is es powerful
here as that of Mina in Spain. We have no news of him ; we only know
that he is in Paris, with the illustrious Generals Pizarro and Cabreira.
It is said that the revolution is begun in several villages of Galicia. If
this intelligence is confirmed, I dare say Don Miguel will not be on the
throne at the end of two months. Inn assure you that the arrival of the
two French ships of the line in the Tagus, is a great source of jey to all our
merchants. We hope that the French Government will not allow the in.
suit offered to the tri-coloured Rig at Setuval to pas with impunity ; but
lanotber ship of war should be sent to Oporto, in order to protect the
French commerce, for the Royal volunteers are continually insulting all
foreigners, without distinction, in that town.—Le National.
BAYONNE, Ocr. 29.
The Sub-Prefect of Bayonne went yesterday morning to St. Jean
de Las, and had a very sharp quarrel with Valdes, whom be wanted
to detain in the town with his soldiers, under the meat if some
French troops. He has not, however,:entirely given up all ides of tr.
rannic measures; a company of the garrison was stationed on the
road near the Porte d'Espagne ; the post placed at the Porte having
orders to arrest every man belonging to the army of Valdes, and tie
conduct him to the stun-prefecture. These orders, however, roused the
indignation of the inhabitants, who received several of the officers into
their houses, and the sous.prefet was obliged to countermand his orders.
The whole column is now at St. Esprit. You see that the instructions of
M. Guisot continue to be severe ; and, in order to ensure their execution
be doss not cease to write letter upon letter to his agents. Valdes
has saved the greatest part of his guns and ammunition. In a few
days he will probably proceed to Arragon to try his fortune once
more. Since his defeat, his officers and soldiers are more attached
to him than ever. They have sworn to die with him for liberty..—
Ounce is still on thefronder of Arragen. He will probably succeed
in penetrating into that part of Spain, if his clans are not paralysed
by the Prefets and Sous-Prefets.-.-Le

MOSCOW.

Oct% 13.—Great alarm prevails hi this city. An epidemic, sup.
posed to be " cholera morbus," has appeared here during the bat week.
Every one is leaving this place; the nobility and rich persons are re.
tiring to their country houses, and the lower orders are endeavouring
to avoid the ravages of this dreadful malady ; 30,000 workmen have
already quitted this city; all the shops are shut, and business is cow.
pletely stopped. The Administration has divided the town into 47
parts, each surrounded by guards, who prevent all communication one
_ _

lan the other. As yet, the number of deaths has not been very cond.
derable ; but the anxiety is general, and a short time will decide onr

POLAND.

Monads who have arrived at Leipsic from Warsaw, state that the
grated ezdtemeot prevails not only in the capital, but throughout the
whole kingdom of Poland ; and they add, that in order to prevent any
insurrectionary movement, an army of Russians has been collected urn
the Polish frentien. We have been reproached by the Preetarserr. the
English Courier, and two French journals, with publishing news infs.
vounble to the Spanish refugees, as if they bad been our own invention.
Now that the other journals have received their letters from Bayonne,
they themselves confirm the accounts which we gave two days ago...
Mina and Valdes, unfortunate In their attempts, hindered by the French
authorities, who stopped their ammunition and the detachments that were
going to join them, sad attacked by above 8,000 men, have been driven
back upon the French territory, where their soldiers have been disarmed.
We regret this unfortunate result. We naturally desire liberty in Spain,
and in all the nations about us i but must France become the Censtitu-
donsl champion of other nations ? Could we, without declaring war
against the Spanish Ciovernment, suffer troops destined to overthrow It
to be organised in our territory ? Who will require France to interfere
by arms in the political affairs of Spain, when we are so backward in
the affairs of Belgium ? and when our attitude, which is that of mode.
Tadao and firmness, paralyses even the most jealous cabinets, which
are constrained like us to respect the liberal prindple of nen.interven-
don t as for the refugees it seems that they hod no decisive support in
the Spanish people, otherwise the impediments of the French authori-
ties would have been a slight hindrance, es they might easily have
crossed the *ender, and formed a amps on the other side, either to ad.
ranee, or to remain ins military position while they continued to in.
crease their numbers. Their misfortune is, therefore, to be ascribed
to the want of efforts in their favour. The event shows that they can
do nothing by themeelvat, but must wait till their countrymen in the
interior declare themselves.
