LEYDEN, August A.
Eatract Of priuate letter from Paris,
dated July 26.
The appointments to the principal pla-
ces in the government, made by his males
~ since his return will no doubt have sur
prised you, and are to he attributed only
to the urgency of circumstances. The eS-
listing ministry was organized by Talley-
rand, but it shonld be considered as only
temporary, and dictated by the situation u
things. This skilful politician, fearing,
and perhaps justly. that the line of Vau-
ban was forever lost to France, recon-
mended to the king a sort decentralization
with thosemembers of Bonaparte's legisla-
tlre, who are thought to have most inilu.
ence with their party. The king consent
cd. excepting however some individuals,
such as Ney and Regnault de st. Jean
d'Angcly, who have entirely forfeited the
public esteem. The appointment of Fouche
has produced the greatest astonishment.
bat Fouche had been the friend of Talley-
rand, Fouche had kept up an uninterrupt-
Ell communication with ale negotiat0rs at
Vienna, and although the king refused to
treat with the minister police, who had
been one fthe murderers of the unhappy
Louis 10th, yet the count Jaucourt, and all
the individuals of Talleyrand's party con-
tinuedto correspond with Fouche during
the farce of the Champ de Mai. 1t was
touche, to whom was entrusted the task of
rec0nciling the anti-r0yalists to his males
IL. When prince Taileyrand had extort-
ed this consent from the king, the removal
OF the count de Blacas became iRdispensa-
bic so too there was found in the person
oil Pasquier the master of requests. the man
who must succeed to the place IF the ex-
conventional Montesquieu, who himself
agreed, that he was no longer necessary.
The duke of Feltre, minister ofwardis-
tinSuished for his nObieness of mind, una
bic to reconcile himself to the heteroeene-
Gus union If TaIleyrand ard Fouche, but
little connected with the first, and hated
by the second, retired and made way for
marshal GOuvion ST. Cyr who was promot-
ed for having given 10 the army the fine
example, which tie duke of kellre had
done.
Thus, in the opinion Of tic first minis
ter, the services of Fouchc might be for the
moment useful to the king, and in matters
of policy, Tal!eyrand is always governed
by the interest Of the moment. The OBJ
ject Of his policy is now, to anite the forces
offhe royattistS and rebels, to- blend all
parties, to establish an unity Of interest,
and to make the whole concur in prevent
ing any attempt upon the integrity of the
French territory.
The plan of the minister seems to have
the support Of all the principal officers of {
the army. TIE commanders of fortified /
posts all offer their submission but refuse
10 open their gates to the Allies, who, on
their part insist upon entering. Although
