TEI,IIGENCE.

in makingup postscript last evening. the intel-
cencc was not given in that clear and intciigiblc
manner that We could have desired. We will endea-
vor 10 supply the deficiency.
FRANCE.-The perfect freedom of the French
press. appears very distinctly from the opinions ex
pressed respecting the dissolution of the first minis
try ofthe revolution and the formation Of q
II strikes us as no very favorable change. The min
listers who have been compelled to retire, Baron
Louis, Count Mole, NJ. Guzot and the Duke Of Bro
gle.
"remaining under the influence Of the doctrines Of
the restoration, they incapable Of comprehend
ing the claims of the revolution of July" 1.-THE new
combination fail to impress greater spirit of
freedom upon the measures Of government" 1.-THE
new cabinet may present itself with confidence be-
fore the people, and consequently before the Cham
bsrs. We may now expect to see a decisive system,
and in fact real government"
The Journal du Commerce says, ''the new arrange
ment must be- satisfactory tn the public-6rst, be-
has put end to affecting suspense, and to
.intrigues for replacing ministers who had withdrawn
thcmselves-and second. because the names of the
ministers, in the absence of facts, pledges
of Their honest and pal riotc intentions" ''Such men
will never show weakness in tho face Of our enc
miles,"
The Courier Branca,s speaks doubtfuliy az follows
The extreme left cannot claim victory. and those
who pretended alarm, can longer find any preext
for their apprchcnsions at is point gained 10 have
escaped from the crisis Of the last days Though
we approve OF the change, we far from believing
that il will afford remedy for all the difficulties of
present situation. We do not hope to find,
in every member fthc cabinet, that union Of firm
ness and ability which Is requisite to repair all he
errors that have been committed and to answer all
the exgences Oft post on filed with difficulties
Tho Tribune de- Departments says-"If the acts
Of the new ministry arc in conformity with our cx-
pectaions it will ensy long and successful career
in spite of the opposition which the aristocracy will
raise against il from lis very birth"
Tho Journal des Debats is much dissatisfied, dnd
holds the following language:
1--WE shall say nothing of the new members who
have entered the Cnhiet, and France will inquire
little about them. But what is of great Importance
to France the ensemble of the ruck out of
the lis, of the Councillors of the Crown. She will
ask what unknown tempest drives from the avenues
of that throne raised by France shelter against
storms, Messrs. c. Perirr, GuIzot, Mole, Broge and
Dupin the eloquent and courageous leaders Of our
long opposition, tribunes in tranquil times, and minis
tiers in times of Danger. Among these names, there
is not in whom France might not trust with
rity. In in the m DIST Of the great struggle of
the nation, that they arrived at power, when power
was IN be esia bshcd, rather when it s at
st. Clouds when to assume 1t, was attended with the
risk life; when it was uncertain whether both
foreign and civil war would not break out; in short,
when there were required more resignation, courage,
and devo,edn"ss to accept the government, than
there is ambition in seeking for it in peaceable times.
These men no longer form part Of the Kings Coun
Gil"
The National says-eIt is impossible to please ev-
cry body. The question is, whether the Chamber will
the radical vice which existed the cabinet, it
was composed after The events July, will not be
found Ia the present arrangement. The mos, emil
men Of the Ia Ministry were long attached to
legitimacy. Fhey contributed to the too reservations
They scere afraid Of the reroiution being dccnmphsh-
cd." They were obliged to borrow arms Of the sys-
icm If the Restoration TIE Ministers tUiH not
be afraid Of The revolution" But do the conditions
of capacity accompany them? We do not know
Marshall Maison diplona'ist or NJ. D. Monta
vet as an administrator These boo aDDointr' - -
s.'u anef prove satisfactory
The Times speaks as follows, which is MT the most
favorable language:-
THE new Ministry proceeds from he extreme
arisen out Of the threatened designations of Du-
pont and Gen Lafayette, and proves that they alone
have the power of managing that which they alone
ava created In them resides the entire principle of
tho Administration. Before wo pronounce = iuds-
uIeut upon r,en, bound 10 visit for their ac-
tons but may be allowed to anticipate from their
iner line of conduct, what will be the principles Of
Their future proceedings"
y quote the following oh from lie Gio6e:-
''Iu the new Ministry, three Members only, name.
y, Mcssrs Lsfittte. Dupont (de l. Eure,) and Mer-
b1u belong to the cote Gaucle. Is this enough? We
DO not think so. Unless the other Members of the
Bn!stry should prove docile to the impulse that will
DC given them and move like obsequious satellites in
the sphere that will DO traced for them We do not
see the unity Of direction and of power which was to
eSrlcate us from the sad state in which We are Ian
Of representatives? Where is the hsmopeneity
which was promised us, and which aRer waiting ten
days, we had right to hope for, Is It the last ma
nGuvre of tho opinion docrnaire, which has perhaps
eDdcavored to give ITSELF especially in the Interior
department, successor suited to occupy the place
al interim? However, let wait. We earnestly
wish that NJ Laitte and his Two colleagues may find
strength to direct the Cabinet influence the Cham
her, and thus lead US, without severe Shocks to
the necessary development OF the electoral const-
tuition.
The Quoiidienne is not only dissatisfied but rdi.
cUleS the Ministry. 1t accuses H. de Eont vlivet
OF having been created Peer by particular favor Of
hous AVlli. and Of having treated his King with
ingraii,ude He is also SAID to be so Young as not
yet TO have arrived at the age necessary to vote in
The Chamber Of Peers. The chsice therefore. is
not catering to the Chamber. &c.
The Gas tie de France, of Nov q, Gays, the diff
cnltles continue. The ministry can neither live nor
de. Days and nights are consumed in fruitless con.
ferenees. Every measure which is atte,npted in con-
cert turns out painful abortion. Negotiations and
Ieconciatlons only multiply obstacles. Even what
Is done concludes nothing Yet the Chamber meets
10 morrow.
