lie Globe Of this day states, that Will, the excep-
ton of NJ. dc Poignac, the Cabinet is in state of
lperpexity. NJ. Couvoisier appears to be overcome
by surprises NJ. de Montbel is uncertain NJ diIa,ls-
seq, thoughtfu NJ. de Guernon, full OF care As for
M. dc Rourmont, he is busy with his contracts and
preparations for the expedition against Ngiers. In
this state of things all is confusion and disappoint
ment; there exist in the Cabinet. in the Chamber,
a Right side, a 4eft-side, and Centre. The Right
side calls III Nj. dc Peyronnet; the Lett dc Nartig-
nae, de Beeyn,e, and de Berbis; and!,te Centre Nj.
dc Vllce. Hence three negotiations are on foot for
introducing changes into the administration.
| The Constitutional OF the Goth, Contains some
shrewd commentaries on the propagation of the
Chamber. The measure, it says, cannot be consid-
cred as being taken in passion and without rcec-
ton. Power, III its most sudden movements, has al
ways some motives, though they may be foolish ones,
and the prorogation must be regarded the result
of plan previously contrived to escape from the
deliberate and significant ression of parliainenta-
ry opinion. Those who dive into the views of the
ministers and their political friends suppose that a.
mong their calculations, is, that they will be able
TO buy twenty-five the forty majority, before Sept.
Some suppose that modification of the Cabinet will
be tried In the mean time it is asked what is TO be
done with The law doyganisation danoriisseYnent
which must be acted upon in June, and whether the
ministry will undertake to settle by simple ordon-
nance what ought to be regulated by law; and :Iia-
tler the amount OF the expenses of the expedition to
Algiers will be settled by the Kinrs simple warrants
The Constitutional also asks whether the ministers
suppose, in case they could buy the twenty five votes
that the forty majority who carried the address con,
stitute the whole strength ofthe opposition in the
Chamber? As TO the threats of dissolution he saws
/ it is exactly what the Deputies desire and op;non
/ calls for.

the chances OF civil war, than expose himself to the
