The appointments to the principal places
in the government, made by his majesty
since his return, Will no doubt have sur
prlsed you, and are to be attributed only
TO the urgency of circumstances. The
existing ministry was organized by Talley-
rand, but it should be considered as only
temporary, and dictated by the situation of
things. This skilful politician. fearing, and
perhaps justly, that the line of Vauban was
forever lost to France, recommended
to the king a sort OF reconciliation with
these members IF Bonaparte's Legislature,
who are thought to have most influence with
their party. The king consented, except
ing, however, some individuals, such as New
and Regnault de St. Jean d'Ang-ly, who
have entirely forfeited the public es-
produced the greatest astCnishment, but
Fouchc has been the friend of Taiievrand.
Fouche had kept up an uninterrupted COM
munication with the negociators at Vienna,
and although the King refused to treat with
the minister OF police, who had been one Of
the murderers oftae unhappy Louis 10th,
yet the Count jaucourt, and all the iadivi-
duals Of Ialleyrand's party, continued to
correspond with FogChc during the farce Of
the Champ de Mai. 1t was Fouche, TO
whom was entrusted the task Of reconciling
the Aati-Royalsts to his majesty. When
Prince Talleyrand had ex.orted this COZ
sent from the King, the removal of The
Count de Blacas became indispensable /; so
too there was found in the person OF Pas
quier, the master of requests, the man who
must succeed TO the place ot the ex-conven-
tional hontesquieu, who hims,ll agreed,
that ne was no longer necessary. The duke
OF Feltrc, minister of war. distinguished

Gle himself to the heterogene US union of
Talleyrand and Fouche, bat little cOnnec-

St. Cyr, who was for having given to The
army the fine example which the Duke Of
Feltre had done.
