the President. who Immediately commenced sign

tribune, from which he read the ordinance OF the
King, by which the legislative session is declared
to be closed. This was received with few cries
of Vive lie Roi!' after which The President left
his seat, and all the members withdrew.
The rumours relating to an approaching change
of Ministry, which have oeen lately gaining
ground every day, seem to have acquired some
consistency. It's certain that NJ. c. Perier's
ability to resume the direction Of public affairs is
by this time nearly despared Of by his political
adherents, and that his nearest relations and
most private friends have resolved to use every
means capable Of dssuading him from the inten-
ton of doing so, which up to this moment he
seems to entertain Yesterday and the day be-
| fore Nj. Perier was much worse than he had
been for some time To-day he is rather better.
His wife is in very bad way with the cholera,
and his son Paul has been attacked by the same
disease.
General SEBASTIAN is still in hopeless state as
| to any prospect of returning to an active life;
and as to NJ d'Arsout, who, since my last let
ter, has been attacked by the prevailing disease,
his life is in danger, therefore no one can say
that he will remain member of the present Ca
binet. Under all these circumstances, 1t is evl.
dent to every one that the Perier Admimistra-
ton is tumbling to pieces, and that the chances
of change of men, if no, of measures, almost
amount to certainty at the present moment.
| The decline Of the cholera is still apparent
from the official and other reports, bat it is not
quite as rapid as it promised to be when it first
began. Among the most recent victims of the
disease is NJ. Philip, the Hanoverian Charge
d'affairs. On Wednesday afternoon | met him
on the Boulevard-he was then in high spirits
and perfect health. Last night he was corpse.

STATE OF NJ. Cashier PERIER.
PARIS, April 26.-lt is with the most sincere
rep ret that announce to you the mental aberra-
ton Of M. Casimir Perier. This is an affection
for France, for the conservative party IN Eng
land, and for all Europe. The Journal des De.
bats of to-day broke its long silence. and gave
way to those sad reflections which so nseurnful a
subject could not fail of exciting.
The Debats admits that the system of Nj. Pc
rier was likely to lose his appui but it maintains
that nevertheless the same system must be pur-
sued.-M Casimir Perier Is insane. lie has
moments Of calm, and freedom from agitation;
but today he has been in state of terrible ner'
vous excitement, and regret to add that he
must have dreadfully suffered. The details oil
all have heard dare not commit to paper, but
he is insane. The admission of the Debats has
of course given great uneasiness to the political
friends Of VI. Perier, and to all men of property
IN Paris,
The Moniteur has hitherto preserved sad and
solemn silence with respect to M. Perier. Ii

and confirms by that silence their melancho J

days, or even hours, should terminate the sad
state of NJ. Perier. He cannot long suffer as he
is now doing, with an emaciated frame and ru
ined constitution.
I The Constitutional Of to-day states. that the
medical advisers Of NJ. Perier have been called
before the Privy Council, and have been inter.
rosated as to the possibility of his recovery; and
that the doctors have replied, that they were
convinced he would at any rate for long time
