Sta,—lll. Lafitte has failed In his election, by only otts
OICE ; the battle, however, is not the less lost to a Minis.
U}'. Many of the Deputies had even been seared by the
threat of the Ministry to retire, in case of a defeat in the
tlection of the Presidency, and gave their votes to another
..indidate than Lafitte, in order that M. Perky should not

cape an independent address. This contributed to create
the majority of one for M. Girod. If M. lAtfiue had not
otta for him, and if Messrs. Barthe, and fiebastiani had
not voted, the votes would have been equal on tba second
division.

When the Deputies for vacant places, of which there are
about seventy, shall arrive, the majority will be With the
Ipasition, or gauche.
It is confidently stated, that half of those who voted for
Girod were pledged to vote against the hereditary peer.
•ge, and that at least a third will vote against the late es-
•,rior political system. I understand that many of those
9.;}u voted for N. Oirod would not have done so, but
made that concession to the Ministry, to be mote free
tv gratify themselves in the discussion of the address.
I have just been informed that the Ministers offered their
i,„gnation, on account of the smallness of the majority for
E:.t Presidency, and of the majority agatsd them in the
lection of Dupont (de l'Eure), a member in the extreme
left to the Vice-Presidency.
Offers are said to have been made to Casimir Prefer to re.
:nain himself, with new colleagues, but be declined altar-
'4r• The following are the names which, it is said are to
omposs the new Ministry
Decants, President of the Council.
Biewow, Foreign Mein..
SAL/MATZ, Interior.
CLAVZIL, War.
Basemen, Chem:eller.

This is but a report, but it is very probable. The opera.
dons of the scrutiny for the Vice.Prsaidents has achieved,
tits defeat of the Ministry. By the number of voices ob-
tained by M. Dupont (de rum; one of the most seer.
getic, of the most inflexible repromentadvcs of the pure
Gauche, we see decidedly upon what forces the Ministry
can want, if it has the temerity of being willing to engage
in the address. M. Dupont obtained for the Vice-
Presidency a more oonsiderabb majority than that
which IL Cited (de rAto obtained for the Presidence.
M. Dupin, the type of the opinions of the Perils
ministry, had 189 voices, M. Dupont 182. M. Be.
tenger, whom the ministers never reckoned as theirs, but
who represents a shade of mixt gauche, had three voices less
than M. Dupont. The ministry felt immediately that it
could not resist such a blow of the majority. We an assured
that at the issue of the sitting a Council was assembled at
the Ministry of the Interior, and that the retreat of the'
Ministry es mane was proposed. Several new combine.
dons have already been died. They would attempt a Mi.
nistry of mention, an excellent means of resolving nothing,
and of compromising the men of the pure gautbe who would
be left to feed upon line words.:
General Clausal has refused the baton of Marshal, on
account of the gift emanating from Marshal Sault! Every
body is indignant at the promotion of Count Lobau to
such an honour. The most contemptible and unworthy
practices were adopted to prevent the election of M.
Witte.

The following is from the Prussian Gazette, which ar-
rind at Paris to-day, at two o'clock :
Facarrians or POLAND, JULY 24.--The last reports
state that the grand Russian army (00.000 strong, with 70
pieces of cannon) had passed the Vistula at Niesawa ; and
that on the 19th the Grand Duke Michael, at the head of
the Imperial Guard, had also craned that great dyer. On
the 21st, a Ti Daum was sung in the Russian camp, with
the firing of cannon, to celebrate the event.
The advanced guard of the Russian army, under the com-
mand of Prince Schachoffskoi and General Witt, met with
no other obstacle in their march, and are now near Warsaw.

It is also stated from Lithuania, that the Polish General
Dembiski has been made prisoner, with all his troops.
The Governor of Warsaw has given notice of the approach
of the Russian army towards the walls of the dty, and every
one capable of bearing arms has been enrolled at the Town-
hall, between 8 in the morning and night. The enthusiasm
is very great ; and a proclamation has been issued by the
Governor, to Inform the inhabitants that all the troops not
forming part of the main army, will unite in defending
Warsaw with the citizens. While the Commander-in-chief

is pursuing his successes over the corps of Rudiger and
others, on the opposite side no fears are entertained for the
safesy of Warsaw.

The Courier Beige, arrived this morning, announces
the taking of Venloo by the Dutch. However, as it is the
only journal which gives this news, we believe that it merits
confirmation. We can only add, that the hostile prepare.
dons of William continue, whilst, on his side, Leopold does
not allow to escape him and occasion of arming that he
will maintain the integrity of the territory.
We learn from a certain source, that, according to very
recent orders, a Spanish army of 90,000 men will be eche.
lonned from Pampeluns. unto Baclajos ; that is to say, from
the frontiers of France to that of Portugal. Already several
crepe are in march for their destination, and two parks of
artillery will be formed at each of the extremities of cholla.
In Spain, they attribute this movement to some decision
taken by the Cabinet of Madrid at the moment of our occu.
potion of the Tagus, where at least it will have need to de.
fend itself against the unlooked.for events which may arise
at one or other frontier. Some persons see even already the
preparations of a general attack against Frame, in which
every body believes on the other side of the Pyrenees. The
second version appears to us alone probable... 7; remain,

HOLLAND.

The Queen at Holland left Berlin on the 25th ult. on her
return to the Hague, taking with her, it is said a treaty of
alliance, offensive and defensive, between Prussia and Hol-
land.—Constitutionnel.

The Temps says:—" It Is stated that a frightful scene
lately took place at the Hague, between King William and
his two sons. The Prince of Orange broke his sword, and
throwing the pieces at the feet of his father, reproached
him with having lost, by his obstinacy and Calvinistic fans.
deism, the finest portion of his kingdom. The King re.
torted by pointing out the vices of his sou, which had alie.
noted from him the hearts of the Belgians, and reproached
Prince Frederick with his attack upon Brussels. The
presence of the Queen was to restore tranquillity
in that family, from which peace is for ever banished.
' A private letter from Belgium describes the enthusiasm of
the people as every when at its height in f of King
Leopold, during his journey from Antwerp to Liege,
where be was received with gnat rejoicing. and even
addressed in a complimentary speech, by Tielmans, the
ReTublican.
The upset of affairs in Holland becomes more and more
warlike; the King, we now hear, has given "the command
of the army" to the Prince of Orange, who left the Hague
on Sunday for Breda, to enter upon his office. An article
from Berlin asserts, in reply to Sbysnecki's letter, that the
Pruimians do not supply the Russians with provisions gra-
tuitously, and that in selling whatever stores or provisions
are required, the are acting in strict conformity to established
usage as a neutral nation.

Banana, JOLT 51.—We do not know what foundation
there may be for the reports of war that are circulated.
We would only observe, that three days ago (the 27th) the
King said to the deputation of the Civic Guard of Mons,
that the political horizon seemed to be clearing up. On the

that he bad confidence In the assurances of peace.—Courier

We will add to the reflections of the Courier dela Meese,
that the King confirmed his hopes of peace by what be said

It would be wrong to infer from this that any thing un-

General Pkken de Perhose, between Wesunail and the

minced on the fortress of Ypres are continued with great
activity. This is significant se the speech of the King of
the French, and coincides with the article of the Mosigeur

might refume hostilities. An answer has been given him
to the effect that the Five Powers intend to maintain the
armistice and the flatus quo J and, consequently, there
must be no hostilities.. —Brussels Paper., 5d August.
Those papers contain long accounts of the enthusiastic
reception of the King at Antwerp, Louvain., and Cassell,

LONDON.

THURSDAY. AUGUST 4.

At length we have the very important intelli-
gence of the long expected CHANGE OP THE
Panto' MINISTRY. In the division on the
Presidency in the Chamber of Deputies, the num-
bers for the Ministerial candidate, M. Guton
DE L'Atx, in spite of unconstitutional intrigues
and mtinceuvres of the Ministry, were but 171,
while the votes for M. LAFITTE were 168. And
on a second ballot, other candidates' retiring, the
numbers were 181 and 176—a majority unequal to.
the carrying on of a Government, especially as 34
places, which have returned patriots, twice or thrice,
have their elections still to make, and also as M.
GIROD had been selected as a neutral man, and
rather himself inclined to the anti-Ministerial
Party.

But a still more decisive trial of the strength of
parties appeared in the ballot for the Vice-
President, M. DUPIN, a decided partisan of the
Government, obtaining but 153 votes ; and M.
DUPONT DT L'EURE, the most liberal man in
France, having 182 votes.
The Ministry, in consequence, resigned on Tues-
day morning, and when the accounts now in
London, left Paris on Tuesday evening, the politi-
cal circles were agitated by such various reports,
that as our Readers will perceive, we present them
with three several lists, all sent by well-informed
persons. We venture, however, to assert, that
neither of them will satisfy the present temper of
France ; and, what is more, neither of them will
command a majority in the Chamber. The Kissa
seems to be a stranger to the wishes of the nation,
or, from some peculiarity of character, to be intent
on thwarting it. Happily, however, the issue does
not depend on Court intrigue ; for in such matters
the majority of the Chambers must speedily prevail.
The change will be a happy omen to the Poles,
and some other oppressed people ; and, as far as
the rivetting of chains is connected with the pre-
sent policy of the European Cabinets, their object
will now be disturbed.

In consequence of these events, the French
Funds fell from 54 to 53 on Tuesday, and our
Funds from 1 to 1 per cent. this morning.

Since writing the above account, of what we
have been able to collect from the French Papers,
and the letter of our usual Correspondent at Paris,
we have had the advantage of perusing a private
letter from an individual, moving in the highest
political circles of Paris, and whose means of in-
formation as to the present state of parties there is
indisputably good. We shall now therefore con-
vey to our readers the substance of what we have
derived from this source. At the date of the letter
to which we refer,it was the belief of its writer, that
the consequence of the retirement of CASIMIR
Plana would be the complete ascendancy of the
party of ODILLON BARROT, or the mouvensent
party—that Marshal Sou Lv has long been secretly
of that party, and that he was now to be put for-
ward to unite, in his own person, the two offices
of Minister of War and President of the Council;
that ODILLON BARROT was to take the parte-
fesilk of the Home Department; and that the
other members of the administration would be all
drawn from the well-known partisans of that po-
pular Deputy. It is thought by the person whose
information we communicate, that, beyond all
doubt, war can alone be looked to as termi-
nating, for a while, the present contests between
parties in the French capital; and although Marshal
Souvr and the new colleagues with whom lie will
now act, may endeavour to restrain the popular cry
for War, and prevent its occurrence for some
months, for this very good reason that the troops
are not yet professionally qualified, too many of
them being little better than raw recruits, yet as
soon as possible a war will take place, as the only
coup d'etat which can afford a chance of conferring
a probable permanence to the present Government
in France.

of LEo.

In spite of the pacific
POLD and the Belgians, we lament to state that
offended pride appears to stimulate the King of
HOLLAND to recommence hostilities. The fir-

mistiee expires to-day, and we really fear that
no consideration wOl prevent bloodshed. His
Dutch Majesty's worthy representative, CH A sat,
whose former doings nt Antwerp are never to be
blotted from modern history, has given such formal'
and short notice of his designs, that it seems im-
possible to avert the consequences. Doubtless,l
the Dutch King depends on his Prussian brother-
in-law, with whom his wife has been making a
long visit ; but the changes in Paris are likely to
disturb those arrangements, and if a Prussian army
enter Belgium in the north and east, a French
one may be expected to enter on the south. We
fear, therefore, that the pugnacious spirit of the
Dutch Court may precipitate a war in our imme-
diate vicinity.

An:wisp:Atm. 2.—lt has been officially notified on
'Change, that the communicathm being interrupted by the
Dutch in the &belt, no letters foe England can be for.
warded through that channel. Oeneral TIULIZAS has
issued the following proclamation :--

ORDER OF THE DAY.

The Gomel of Brlpd., Commanda.in-Odef of the eity
and environs of Antwerp, apprises the inhabitants that tie
arailsdes between the city and diode' will moss on Than.
day, the Ads but. at half•pest nine in the syseins, and that
from that dote hostilities may be mesamosseed without
Budget nodes.

CITIZENS AND SOLDIERS!
I rely on your prudence as much as on your courage, sod
foomally oppose for your own sakes, and under the most
same pomades, every hostile demoosuatioo, Woes by my
express orders, which will set be withheld when any emer-
gency requires It.
INHABITANTS OF ANTWERP!
I Satter myself that in them circumstances you will am-
dnue to res the confidence which you have honoured me'
with to this day ; and In every measure that prudence and
your own interest may recommend to you, and rely on the
dal and military authorities for the protecdon of your pa-
wns and property.

From Poland there is nothing new to-day, if we
except some distorted accounts in the Berlin Ca-
sette'. These would make it appear, that while the
Polish left wing is pursuing Ru DIGER southward,
the right wing is inactive, and allowing PAsic
WITSCH and his whole army to cross the Vistula,
and march leisurely on Warsaw. We expect,
however, that SRILYZN ZCIL I will first give a good
account of Runlo ; and that he and the War-,
sovians will then dispose of Pa SKEW ITSCE, who,'
in his new position, is cut off from all intercourse
with Russia. The last direct accounts from War-
saw speak of his retiring from a contest which,
under existing calamities, the Court of Petersburgh
can no longer sustain.

We have report on report of the overthrow

of his bro-

MIGUEL, and under the
ther and niece being so hospitably entertained at
the Palais Royale and St. James's, there can be no
doubt but the Revolutionary party in Lisbon will
soon disburthen themselves of a tyrannical
Usurper, if it has not been done already. We are
happy to observe, that Dow PEDRO is negociating
a Loan in London in support of his daughter—a
circumstance which alone must assure her ascen-
dancy, and the re-establishment of the,Constitution
of PEDRO, which last is the foundation of our good
wishes.

Considerable spirit distinguished the proceedings
in the British Parliament last night. In the
Lords Earl GREY moved tho formal address in
answer to the message relative to the Princess
VICTORIA; and the Lord CHANCELLOR brought
in a bill to give him power to accelerate pending
proceedings in Chancery, a system which confers
on him great honour. The Marquis of LONDON-
DERRY was querulous about Donna MARIA being
received at the ports as Queen of Portugal, but
Lord GREY said no orders had been given on the
subject.

In the Commotrs, Mr. O'CONNELL'S activity
was evident, in presenting various petitions, and
moving for various important returns.
Mr. J. WOOD presented a spirited petition from
Mr. CA REtsEE, complaining of the abuse of the
forms of trial In his cue before the impassioned
RECORDER, and beseeching the enquiry and inter-
ference of the House. Mr. HUNT spoke in sup-
port, and the petition produced the grave attention
of the House.

Mr. WooD also presented a petition against the
law for stopping up foot paths, and several mem-
bers spoke against the present system.
Petitions were presented against the adoption of
Molasses in distillery and brewing ; and also against
the beer shops, probably from brewers or proprie-
tors of public houses.

Mr. GORDON then opened a discussion in re-
gard to the impunity afforded to murder in Ireland
by the inflammatory state of parties. Mr. O'CON-
NELL and Mr. Muu.txs spoke ; and Mr. STAN-
LET avowed indifference about the police acquitted
at Mullingar.
Lord ALTHORP then proposed to increase the
present 12,0001. a-year allowed to the Duchess of
KENT and the Princess VICTORIA to 22,0001. Mr.
HUNT moved for 17,0001. the same as was granted
for the Princess CHARLOTTE, and on a division,
he stood alone with 223 against him.
Lord ELIOT then enquired about the Protocols
in relation to Holland, but Lord PALM Earrox
declined to make any further publication at present.
In the REFORM COMMITTEE, a debate arose on
Greenwich, Deptford, and Woolwich ; and after',
27 speeches, many of them of great length, by
Messrs. PEEL, ALTHORP, WETMERKLL, Alder-
man THOMPSON, HOBIJOUSE, MACAULET, &C.
a division took place, 295 for, and 188 against.
SHEFFIELD, SUN DRILLA D, and DEP IMPORT,
were then agreed to, and the House adjourned at
half-past one.

Despatches were this morning received at the
Foreign Otfice in Downing Street from Paris,
Brussels, and the Hague.

At one o'clock a Cabinet Council was held at
the Foreign Office, attended by the LORD CHAN-
CELLOR, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, Earl
