FRANcE.-The British Mail Steamer A.
merica brings intelligence from Paris down
to November LIST.
On the ID of October, the President COM
municated the following Message to the As
sembly:
President BoNAPARTE's MESSAGE.
At alf-past five o'clock, NJ. Dupin COM
municated TO the Legislative Assembly the
following message from the President of the
Republic;
Monsieur lie President-Under the grave
circumstance in which we are placed, the
accord which ought to reign among the diff
ferent bodies of the state cannot be maintain
ed unless by the existence of a mutual conf
dence, and unless they explain themselves
sincerely to each other.
In order to give an example of that SINGER
ity, | come forward now to state the reasons
which have determined me to change the
ministry, and TO separate myself from men
whose eminent services | am well pleased to
proclaim, and to whom | owe friendship and
gratitude.
In order TO strengthen the Republic, mera-
ced by anarchy from so many sides to in
sure order more efficiently than has been
done up to the present time; TO maintain
abroad the name of France at the elevation
of her renown, men are needed, who, ANNA
ted by a patriotic devotedness, comprehend
the necessity of the single direction of a firm
character, and of a clearly defined policy,
which does not compromise power by an it,
resolution; of men, whose minds are as
much filled with the conviction of my pecu-
liar responsibility as of their own, and of the
necessity of action as we'll as of words
(great agitation.)
For nearly Il year | have given many
proofs of selt-denial in order that there might
be no misunderstanding with regard to my
real sentiments. Without rancor against any
individual or against any party, | have allow
ed men OF the most contrary opinions to ar
rive at power, but without obtaining the hap
py result which l expected from that arrange
ment. In place of e~ffecting a fusion of diff
ferent shades of opinions, l only arrived at u
naturalization of force.
The utility of views and intentions was in
terfered with, and the spirit of Cancellation
taken for weakness. Scarcely had the dam
gers of the street been over, when the an
cient parties were seen again 10 elevate their
colors, revive their r~ivalries, and alarm the
country by rousing disquietude.
In the midst of this confusion, France, I'M
easy because she cannot see any guiding
hand, seeks the hand and will of the elected
of December the 10th. But that will cannot
be felt unless there be entire unanimity of
ideas, and of convictions between the Presi-
dent and his ministry; and unless the As
seInbly itself joins in the thought of the ma
ton as expressed in the election of the EX-
ecutive power.
A whole system triumphed on the 10th of
December, for the name of Napoleon is a
complete programme in itself. 1t means at
home, order, authority, religion, and the well
fare Of the people; abroad, national dignity.
1t is this system that | wish to cause to tri-
umph by the aid of the Assembly and the
people. | wish to be worthy of the conf
dence of the people by maintaining the con-
stitulion which | have sworn to observe. l
wish TO inspire the country, by my fair,
straightforward dealing, perseverance and
firmness, with a confidence that business
will revive.
The letter of the constitution has certain
ly a great influence on the destiny of the
country, but the manner in which it is eXer-
elsed has perhaps even more. The longer
or shorter duration of power contributes
powerfully to the stability of things, but it is
only by displaying ideas and principles that
a government can succeed in persuading So
ciety to reassure itself
Let us, therefore, again raise up authority
without interfering with real liberty. Let us
calm the apprehensiOns that are felt by van
gushing bad passions, and by giving to all
noble instincts a proper direction. Let us
strengthen religious feeling, without ADAM
doning the conquests of the revolution; and
we shall save the country in spite of the par
ties, the ambitious, and even the intatuations,
which our institutions may contain.
LOUIS NAPOLEON BoNAPARTE."
The Journal del Debats, says:
All the members of the Cabinet sponta-
neously declared that the President was per-
fectly at liberty to choose his Ministers as he
thought fit, but that in their souls and con-
sciences having fulfilled their duty with zeal
and good faith, after the last vote of the ma
jority, they could not tender their resigna-
tons.
nj. Louis Bonaparte then gave them to UNI
derstand that they no longer possessed his
confidence, and that he intended TO call other
persons to his council. On retiring, the Min
listers are said TO have declared, with a lauda-
BILE anxiety which does them honor, that un.
til the new Ministry was formed, they would
remain at their post TO watch over the direc-
ton of affairs and the public safety-observ.
ing, however, to the President that they
thought that in the present state of the pub
lie mine u ministerial crisis could not, with.
out great danger, be prolonged more than 4e
hours.
The following is the definite list of the new
French Ministry, as published in the .Moni
} telu:
General d'Hautpoul, Minister of War.
M. Achille Fould, Finance.
nj. Rouher, Justice.
M. Ferdinand Barrot, Home Department.
