not decided. Col. Negrier had still a slight advan-
tage over Louis Napoleon in the Moselle
Changes of an important nature in the Ministry
are spoken of, and crisis is looked for. Ca
vaignac, who is a shrewd man, has seen the weak
of the Ministry, and the necessity of getting
rid Of them. He must throw himself either on the
left or right. A combination of parties is spoken

inclines
The news principally stirring in Paris relates now
70 the State Of Venice, which the Governments OF
England, France, and even Austria, are agreed
upon in maintaining in statt quo, that is, free OF
Austrian garrison. The armistlce prolonged Tor 10
days, will thus be understood throughout Italy
There is no doubt of England and France having
interposed in the Sican warfare.
The leading subject of conversation in the lobbes
of the Rationale Assemblies Sales des Conference,
on Friday, was the ministerial crisis. The Club of
Deputies Of the Palas Nationals decided, in its sit
ting the previous evening, that committee chosen
from amongst its members should wait on the head
OF the Executive Government to submit new pro-
grammes which, among other things, should pro-
pose the suppression of the duty salt, the creation
of mortgage paper, the removal of great number of
projects, sub-preiects, and other administrative
functionaries Thenew programme probably could
not be carried into effect but by new Ministry.
The deputatOn went on Friday to the hotel OF the
President of the Council. NJ Glas Bzoin spoke in
the name Of the meeting. Gen. Cavaignac de-
clared change in cabinet might then be inoppOr

talent in the Assembly might be made useful

founded in saving that the ministerial combinations
have been in agitation, between the Executive Gov
eminent and several influential members Of the two
principal classes Of Deputies. There was a cues
ton of forming Ministry to be composed as fol-
lows Gen. De Lamoricere, NM. Goudchaux, Il.
Nerninhac and Ihouret, were to retain their posts,
and the other portfolios were TO be held by General
Bedeau, foreign affairs; NJ. Dufaure, interior, and
M. Leon de Mallevile, public instruction This
combination failed for want of coming to pro-
gramme
The same paper adds: ''At the commencement
of the sitting in the Assembly on Friday there was
talk of an arrangement between Cavaignac and
Ledru RolIin to form a new Ministry taken excu-
slvely from the Club Of the Palas Nationals, and
from that Of the absolute democratic party. This
combination has also failed and has been decided
that things shall remain they are for the present.
So srong was the opinion of change being likely
to take place in the Ministry, that all eyes were
directed to hear from Gen. Cavaignac.
In the Assembly, some explanation of his, in re-
gard to the 18th article of the constitutions, was
creating much angry discussion. This article raises
the knotty question of property and taxation.
M. Goudchaux is an advocate for progressive
property taxation, as disting uished from a general
unvarying per centage income and it was thought
the article in question had been so insidiouslV
framed as TO commit the Assembly to a principle,
the opponents of which regard as not only spolia-

that man, instead Of paying so much per cent on
his income, without reference to its gross amount,
must pay per centage rated, and perhaps arbitra-
rily rated, according TO his wealth.

Napoleon has been beaten in the Orne. The legiti-
