We are indebted to Harnden's Elk
press, for extras Of the Boston Cour-
Ter, containing fifteen days later and
most important news from Europe,
per the steam ship Caledonia, Capt.
Cleland, arrived yesterday, at o'clock
p. nj. from Liverpool, whence she
sailed on the 4th inst, at 4, 2. NJ.
having made the passage short Of fif-
teen days. She arrived at Halifax,
10th inst, at 8 l-2, p. M. and left at
s SIS, same evening.
BY this express we have also been
furnished with London papers to the
evening ofthe Sd inst, and with Liv-
erpool papers to the 4th. From these
we gather the following items, the
most important of which is that rela-
tive to the dissolution of the French
Ministry and the Organization of a
new one.
This change clearly indicates the
determination Of the King to preserve
peace with the continental powers.
The retirement Of NJ. Theirs we con-
slider merely provisional and Temporal
ry, to change the policy which he re-
commended on the Turco-Egyptian
question. twill be seen, after affairs
in the East have become tranquil, that
Soult will not remain President of the
Council. We consider the arrange
ment iudicious, as it extricates France
from an embarrassing position, while
the detection of the Emir Becker, in
Syria, renders further opposition from
Mehemet Ali hopeless, and he will
submit to the quadruple treaty, and
fall back on Egypt.
By this arrival we have nothing new
from China. Nothing lad been re-
ceived in England at the time of the
Caledonia's learing there. News
thence, however, was hourly expected.
A letter, dated Liverpool, Nov. 4th,
states that the steamer British Queen
had put back into Hastings-causs
not mentioned.
The Caledonia arrived at Liverpool
on the afternoon Of Friday, the Both

passage, including stoppages, in 13
days. 10 hours.

Theirs and his colleagues rendered
their resignation. Ministers brought
the King a draft of the Royal speech.
His majesty objected, not the warlike
wording Of the speech in general, or to
that Of any part of it, but to the an
nouncement in one paragraph Of the
immediate levy of 100000 troops
more. This included the anticipated
levy Of the conscription of lS41. The
London Evening Chronicle says: il
seems that the German Powers have
made a strong representation against
the increase of the French army, poin-
ting its inevitable result to be, not tc
settle the Eastern question, but to dis.
turb the peace of Europe. The King
therefore, objected to any such grea
addition for the moment to the militia
ry force Of the country. Minister
Immediately rendered their resigna
tons. The King has accepted tn,
designations, and already appointed
Marshal Soult to form new cabinet.
Galignani's Messenger says: w
have just received the important intel
ligence that M. Theirs and all tn
Ministers have given in their resigna
ton, on account of a difference wit
his Majesty relative to certain par;
graphs in the draft of the speech froI
the throne, which the King considere
too warlike in their tendency. Coul
Mole and Marshal Soult have, it
said been summoned to St. Cloud.

King and the Council Of Minister
His Majesty, it is said, wishes that t

vague and pacific terms, concerni
the new position of France with re

Gil, on the contrary, is SAID to insist
