Ihf Dissolution Of NE MiniShy-ihe Ministerial
Crisis
II is impossible that the present ministry
can exist long time in the Assembly-it IS
too feeble, and already broken down in pub
lie estimation--as one man said, sit cant
get up opposition enough to make decent
pretext for retiring; for the Assembly are
determined that il shall die out, OF ITS own
Diseases All is now confusion IN the pup
lie mind, not only as 10 who will compose
new cabinet, but, also, as to the measures OF
public policy which they will adopt /; for
though France has President, and the con-
stitution makes him responsible, thus far the
practical course has been the same as under
the monarchy the ministers govern and not
the President, and practically they, not the
President, ale responsible; and this meets
with the general idea, think, because, if
the President should govern, that is, appoint,
and recommend measures, and be overruled
by the Assembly, he must resign. That is
the French idea--so he acts the part Of the
majority, Napoleon undertook to govern,
and was checkhated by the resignation Of
his ministry. So he yielded the point, and
they appoint the officers, propose the meas
ures, and take the responsibility, by resign
ing in case the Assembly votes them down,
in the same manner as under the monarchy
Judge Favre yesterday Intercepted the
ministry upon the publication of the letter
Of Napoleon to Louis de Molleville, and M;
o. Barrot said it was an act which could not
be justified among honorable men Novel
Their Molleville or Napolean must have eau
sed the publication, II is not probably the
latter---for il is neither good French, nor
good composition, and it was done to de-
grade the President, as Jules Favre decla-
red, The ministry were interrogated, also
as to the foreign relations Of France, and a
picture was drawn of the European difficult
ties. But the ministry receded upon their
right Of reserve, and all appeared to feel as
itther existence was, as the Presse describes
it, one Of transition, and, Of course, Of little
consequence II is said, and greatly feared,
that Napoleon has resolved to throw over
board the Orleanists by whom he is now
surrounded, and ally himself with the repub-
Gcans Of the tricolor, in the Assembly. The
Consfiiutionnelis alarmed at the appearance
and prospect Of such an event; while the
Liberty openly and directly recommends it..

can rely upon the Army; and he. ought,
therefore, to dissolve the Assembly forth
with while new club, of more than two
hundred members Of the Assembly, have
been formed, at the Beaux Arts, who have
resolved that they will not fix any day for the
dissolution, nor entertain any proposition
upon the subject. The act OF this numer-
Gus club, in concert with that of the Palais
National, settles the question, that the disco
