additional details Of the intelligence brought by that
vessel
The two most important events which have occurred
in Europe since the previous arrival. the dissolution
Of the French ministry. and the retreat Of the Russian
Car from his arrogant demand upon Turkey for the
tradition Of the Hungarian refugees.
The act of the French President Louis Napoleon. in
requiring the resignation Of his cabinet to have
excited much sensation in the political circles of both Paris
and London. and has given the public views with
regard to his character By spectators upon po
tcal events. il is regarded evidence Of his deter
minaiion ultimately to assume supreme power How
that may be, time alone unfold. But, perusing
his message to the National Assembly announcing the
dissolution OF the ministry. find very satisfactory
reason assigned for the act which is, that his cabinet
was composed Of discordant materials, which could not
coalesce and hamonize. II he had tried the
pertinent OF bringing into his councils representing
different political opinions, in the hope OF conciatng the
ques and factions to which they respectively belonged
In this Ne found himself mstakenhey could not agree;
and desiring that his cabinet should be unit, be
dismissed them, and called others about him, who may
possess congenality Of opinion. That at least,
the ostensible reason OF the change What the real
may be, and what are the covert designs Of the
French President the future only reveal The disso
luton OF cabinet would cause but little sensation in this
country Certainly would be one Of the last indica-
tons OF revolution in this government The French
President seems also TO have resolved upon more lib
era system Of policy in the management Of the external
relations of France, not in his domestic administration
He appears 10 be determined to adhere to the policy init
mated in his Ney letter with regard Rome. and thus to
redeem in some measure the bstering nfamy which at
aches to the French name for Its monsous and revolving
treatment Of sister republic invoked into being by its
own treacherous example. and founded upon the very
principle to which the republic of France itself owes its
existence, viz the voice Of the people.
We trust that the most favorable view OF these events
may be confirmed by time, and that France will ulti.
mately settle down into republic in substance well
And that such will be the result, we have strong
hopes, she preserve her internal tranquility for
few years longer She has established the principle OF
universal suffrage, the great instrument of reform far

lions Of Frenehmen can now express their sovereign will
through the ballotbox, the mode Of efecting political
changes and reforms prescribed by liberty and law; and
hence there is need of orcble and sanguinary
revolutions in France, in order to improve the condition
Of society. II Frenchmen realize this great truth,
andact in accordance with its dictates, their experiment
of republic will be successful, and will command the
admiration OF mankind
For the sake OF humanity we also rejoice that the En-
peror Of Russia has finally to the discrimination not
