PRIVATE CARRESPONDENCE.

Osr Ministry Us teen for moo tioni:diell;ci It
feu so pieces, is of itestlf, on Wednesday last. three
Members of it, the Date of Rietieliers, M. Lain..
sod M. Mole, had sent iw 'heir IrPOtligliollf to his
Majesty on Tuesday oterslng. The four others, in
osier that the rhale• of his %Newer might not be em-
barrassed. offered their reeiglialions at tile Celina of
she following day (Wedsirselas). Ili. Majesty ar.
dewl all of them to keep. provirionally. their places,
and has since beets migalsod in motesenterine to form
$ new Ministry. The Disks of Itichelima received a
esisimission from the King for this object. M. Is
Cooled, Cases hid prostiossly procured an order for
the suppressian of the Ministry of Police, and in
ennsrqeence remained without oat*.
It is said that tho Dubs of Richelies wished to
base him nominated In a distant mission, oh pur.
pose to exclude him front the camber of candidates
er the Ministry, although M. de Cages had openly
impressed his design to mint himself, and i• retain
only his I'Verage. The Doke of Richelieu has since
berm occupied with the fornistiois of a Ministry, of
which he 1. to be the head. Fir 6ami gram M. Simeon,

Jihrloo ; M. Manion, far the Finance; M. Law.
Lassibtos, for War • M. de Townes, Prefect of
Dosrdeasa, for the Dieection.General of Polley • snit
If. Curler, for the Interior. M. Leine persisted iu
his design to withdraw.

This mew Misislry, where almost ell the parties
bad s representative, presented no unity of views or
principles ; and those who were railed to form it
felt that they could not combine. Every one of
than, before accepting of Mite, spoke of conditietts,
rid no two caseated in their proposals. Taut they
hit seeeessively declined, on different grounds, with
the 'testifier, .it is said, of Coast Laoriston, who
declared, It it added, that he would enter into office
with any individuals whatever. who would consent to
Abolish the law of promotion and of recruiting.
You doubtless knew that General Lewiston is of
Scotch estrocrion. He is a grsodton of the cele-
brated Mr. Law, the Sough See Projector, and was

by these events we have been left for four Ile Jays
almost without a Ministry, and a door has been
*penal to all sorts of rumours and c• njecture, as well
to the eembinatiosts and iarigurs of different per.
dos, web of which has, in imagination, got posaession

There seem no reason to doubt that a change be.
taken place in the French Ministry, though the
Journals have been silent on the subject. The Public
need not be tell that the French press It in that
slavish condition eh t it dares not melte sa announce.
ment but by order of the Government. A Messenger,
we are informed, reached tows yesterday mitts an
official account from the British Ainhamsdor at Paris
of the formation of a nett French Ministry. The
Administration of the D of iticuzzau has given
place to one of hi ac C lUD'S CooglreElies, the
elements of *bleb are es we have already specified ;
bet it remains to be seen how long • composition op-
patently so feeble end unsoiled to the situation and
to-animated energies of France will be allowed to
administer the affairs of thel greet nation. It is Pei-
dent that the power of the Emigres is pest, and
that a Government, even ender the suspicion of fo-
reign influence, will no longer be endured in Front,.
The Duke of RICHELIEU is said to have been
seized with. sudden indisposition. It is, no doubt.
a political one. We hope the change le France is
symptometic of • radical alteration in oar ow a meet',
It is strongly suspected in France, that the ilegocia.
liens at Als•la-Clispelle were covers (or other oh-
jests, than those svigned to them ; anti this may se•
count for the difficalty experienced by the Doke of
RICULNrU in procuring a Ministry willieg to enter
on the evocation of thew objects' It appears
by a letter dated blonds, last, which we give in
another enlawin, not only that the Dec nit Hiatt-
ztett's Ministry resigned, bat that their rosimistioe
took place a day earlier than has We hitherto
asserted. It was on Tuesday tiee t i that Messrs.'
RICUKLICU, LA I 'dr, aid :111ozz, rogemied their
vileoitmel from the King; eta ma she tuNtoiag day,
lest his ki►jelly might be easberreesed Ii th 4 choice of
his servants, fie retraining Members of the Cabinet
gave in their resignaimes also. They HON all CHU-
mantled by his Majesty to retain their respective
portfolios until seceesiore (meld be provided for them
—a circumstance which sufficiently accounts for the
official intercourse maintained by ibis eiththeileg,
141 late as the tOta alt.

The prevent is a period when almost all we re-
view their affairs to aecortein their exact condition in
life. It cannot, therefore, be unseasonable that the
politician shoold take a retrospect of the pest, and
come to some tonclosion on the sitaatiets of public
atisirs. 'The year which has nos► terminated, though
• period of peace to Europe, has bent prodoctive of
some repots which are far mere important than can he
celled from any year of our late wars in the old and
