 Paris, Dec 26.
 The motives which led to the resignation of laia!e are thus stated is one of the papers The Chamber of Deputies, apparently alarm cd for reform, passed a vote enaetng that the National Guards should not be permitted to choose their own General.
 On Friday evening, December 24th, a reso- lutlon was passed by the Chambero of Deputies. declaring the office held by General Lafayette. as eommander-irl-chicf of tie National Guards. unnecessary.
 Inc necessary consequence of the vote in the Chamber of Deputies last Friday evening, upon the New organization of the National Guard. was the removal of General Lafasette from the cammand of that body, with, howe .er, the per feet understanding, that he was to be forthwith Ire-aPPolnted by the King. The General and his friends, however, took fire, and determined not 10 submitt to this piece of coquetry and yes terday, after q consultation with his friends. the venerable patriot resigned his commission into the hands the King ina letter. ill whichhe de- elafed that, in resuming his station as simple soldier of the revolution. he was determined by allthe means still at his disposal to support the throne and the principles which had grown out Of the events of July. It was always under stood, before the vote of Friday, that I.atay- cite appointment was for fife. but that.the office would die with him. This splendid mark of public confidence could only have been justified by the patriots long tried virtues and purity of heart. The King, upon receiving Gen. LafaY- ettes letter yesterday, immediately sent {as lie called him) for shis old and long attached friend The cali was promptly obeved, and q long inter- view was the result. Lafayette declared that he appeared not as an uneonnected individual. but as negotlator; and in reply to the Kings earnest entreaty, that he would re-accept the command-ln-chlet of the Guards from his hands. said that he could never do so, without an infu- sion of popular strength into his majestys pre-. sent councils, and the introduction of such an electoral law as would satisfy the people, and give soldity to the institutions of the revolution They parted late in the day on terms of warm mutual respect, and inc king held a council of ministers, which lasted till midnight.
 Paris, Dee. 2s.--You will see from the Jour nals the partial change which has taken place a. mong the ministers; but it has not vet been men toned that, although General Lafayette refus- ed Inc earnest indeed supplicatng entreaties of the King to retain his command of the National Guard, he went to the palace al three o'clock on the following morning to revoke ilis resgna- ton, but the King replied, it was then too late for at midnight Gen. Lobau had received his commission.
 The four ex-Mlnisters were removed on the night of 29th December from Vineennes, to be transferred to the fortress of Ham, in Picardy, there to undergo their yentence Of per- e.,;A imprisonment.
