Froqi the .Vessayer des Chambres—Second Edition.
The rpport of the change of Ministry was universally circulated
yesterday ; and what took place at the Chateau inspired much hope
in the salons. This morning, too, politicians, though leas credulous,
"cc ..use they have been many times deceived, begin to consider a
crisis as serious and definitive. The true friends of Royalty, the
imelligent defenders of the interests of the Crown. whose position
enables them to enlighten Princes who only seek after knowledge,
are now convinced from observation that the fall of a Ministry,
odious to the country and destructive to the Throne, is certain.
The Cabinet of the Bth of August no longer acts, and no longer
understands itself. It is full of treaton at home, and confusion
abroad. M. de Polignac knows this well, and endeavoun himself
to accomplish the change which he does not with to take place.
The important question of the moment is whetber the Council.
which it is necessary for the Crown to have in order to common'.
cate with the Chambers, shall be compoaed under the expiring pa-
tronage of the present one. It is not to be desired that men, known
for their devotion to the Throne and to France, should be mixed
up with the follies of a late Administration, when they are called
upon to execute a task which the imbecility of their predecessors
has rendered difficult.
There is but little alteration in the names of the ministerial list
They are, Mears. Pasquier, for Foreign Affairs ; Alartignac, for
the Home Department ; Humann, Finances; General Ambrugeac,
or Marshal 'Mahon, as Minister of Wart and M. de Belleyme,
Minister of Justice. It is a consolation to reflect. that every hour
the reign of the atate.men of the 9th of August draws nearer to a'
close ;so that the country will soon be delivered from them, and
there will be a new blessing f..r our King. •
A letter from Arras, dated Dec. 5, says-4. The department of
Pas tie Calais also possesses its association, modelled upon the same
plan as those of the sixty-two other departments of Franey. In
our province it was Boulogne which was the foremost in this act of
• ao wsconstitutional energy, proceeding upon the suggestion of the wor-
thy and honourable Deputy of the second electoral arrondissement,
M. Fontaine, who has sent us this document, which in every short
time received a great many signatures. This act of association,
which hinds its members to refuse the payment of any taxes ille.
galls. voted, need not alarm the most timid. It is an essentially
legal instrument, framed after that agreed to at Paris, which has
received the signature of thousands of aliens, and of a great many
members of the two Chamber., and of our Tribunals. It is an act
which has been declared by legal authority to be conformable to
the spirk of our institutions, without danger to the constitutional
monarchy, and impregnable to the 'deaths of power:'
After numerous trials, the Government steam-packet, the Soul-
- deur, left Rouen at the latter end of November, and arrived at
, Cherbourg after a good passage on the 29th. It was feared at first
that the engine would not turn out to be made according to the
model given by the Minister of Marine,but some judicious altera-
tions having been effected in the mode of heating, and in the dimen-
sions of the chimney, the result was most satisfactory. A letter
from Chetbourg,written by an officer who was onboard the vessel,
gives the following particulars of the passage :
" The engine submitted to the expansive force of the steam
worked very well. The mercury easily kept itself at between 40
and 60 centimeters; the piston was struck from 18 to 20 times,
and the speed of the vessel was found to be from six to seven knots
five-tenths. I think. too, that better results will be obtained when
the friction, which is always greater in new engines, is reduced by
working. The passage from Rouen to Cherbourg, a distance of
about 60 leagues, was performed in 29 hours, though the vessel
encountered a strong tide near Barfieur. The engine was not in
the least deranged, but it should be mentioned that the sea was
very calm."
The destination of the vessel. is Toulon, and she will only remain
at Cherbourg the time necessary to complete her armament and
take off the wheels, in order that she may sail the rest of her voyage.

- COPENHAGEN, Nov. 20.
The Commissioners appointed in April last year, to examine the
light-houses on the Norwegian coast, have concluded their labours,
and presented a detailed report. The result is, that in the period of
19 or twenty years, sixteen new light-houses must be bolt, and
others repaired and improved. The expenses are estimated m 113,900
specie dollars (about 28,00 W. sterling,) once for all as the first cost ;
end the annual expense of keeping them in order at 16,706
dollars. His Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway has given or-
ders that some of the proposed light-houses, the first cost of which
is estimated at 14,700 dollars, Bathe annualexpense at 1.620 dot-
hrs, shall be immediately erected. It is well known that Corn.
missioners have been appointed as well in Norway as in Sweden,
to draw up a new penal code. Some members of both Commis-
sion are to meet in Stockholm, and to confer together, in order to
draw up the new codes for both kingdoms, as nearly as possible on
the same principles.

STERNBERG IN MECKLENBURG, Nov. 20.

It is many years sine so way sheathers of the Diet were pre-
sent as to-day, the number tithes, who attended being above 100.
Very little has yet transpired of the result of the deliberations;
hut we are glad to hear not only that the extraordinary expendi-
ture will he met without increasing the Uses, but that there is a
considerable surplus, which will be employed in paying off debts.
