Our French Correspondence.
PARIS, October 18th, 1850.
Louis Nopoieow and the Committee of Proroga-
tion--Cha~ges in the Mlmtstry-Ch amgSxmisr =
Theirs The Late Queen Of Beig,um--L Dold-
haiy--G0mamy- Denmark and the DSchies, &c.
The late meeting of the Committee of ProrOga.
ton had quite an echo in all the provinces. Many
representatives arrived in Paris and were ready 10
proceed to the immediate eonvecation of their COZ
leagues, if this required by the present state
of affairs. 1t was Whispered in some quarters that
Louis Napoleon proposed to act on his own powers,
by the 32d article of the constitution, and that he
would recall the Assembly, in order to put before
its members his contest with the Committee. In
the meantime he would produce his message, in
which he would protest anew his respect for the
constitution of 1913.
The Committ.e of Propagation assembled to-
day, in order to examine another case which has
much importance. very violent article appeared
in the Cowstituttonxei, in which the author Gen.
sured the tw enty. five members of the Committee
for their Ron-respect of the President. The Mont
tear, which is neutral paper, rePublished that
article, and gave to it more importance than it had
be fore. The most bitter speeches were directed
towards Mr.. Baroche, and the whole session was
very stormy. As you see, the position of eur ge-
vernment may be called very interesting; and, no
doubt, before long, we shall witness something
which will net be expected
Changes in the ministry are again rumored in
our political circles. II appears that Mr.. de Parien
Minister of Public Instruction, had very violent
discussion with the President, on account OF the
dismissal of Mr.. Fortoul, who, being at the same
time member of the faculty of AK and re-
preventative was put in the position to choose be-
tween the two places. The President wished to
make passe.droit Gin favor of Mr.. Fortoul, who
had written a very impertinent letter to Mr.. de
Paren, and the minister swore that If Louis Ma
his dismissal The President, to whom this was
reported, only answered " C'est bien! on y
auisra." Such a laconic phrase is quite signi6-
can't; and in case Mr.. de Parien retires, Mr. Du-
mas will take his yortefeniLle, and Mr. Fialin de
Persieny would enter on the Ministry of Commerce
and Agriculture, in the place of Mr. Dumas.
In the meantime Mr.. Fialin de Persigny, just re-
turned from London, where his visit created SEN
resume his diplomatic functions, at least for
short time 1t is said that his return is caused by
the peculiar position of affairs of Prussia and Aus
tria.
General d'Hautpoul, Minister of War, is also
threatened with dismissal from his post of honor.
The President would put in his place General Reg
naut de ST. Jean TAngeh, and would send him
to Algiers, in the capacity OF Governor Of that
colony.
Louis Napoleon has the intention of creating
three new marshals of France, and the names Of
d'Hilliers, and Oudinot. General Changarnier
would "perhaps'' obtain the same honor. The
withdrawal of the superior command from that
General has also been spoken of at the Bourse, but
without any foundation, suppose, for this would
be death-blow to Louis Napoleon. An act OF the
kind would be very silly, for General Changarnier
is considered as the basis of the present, and the
hope Of our future
Much gossip has been entertained about the visit
of Mr.. Theirs to Louis Napoleon, after his return
from Claremont, where he went to visit the
Duchess of Orleans. Though nothing has trans
PRED of the conversation which took place between
them, / have been told that many persons pre-
sumed that very strange proposition had been
made to the President, which was rejected by HIM,
Mr. Raspail the celebrated rouge of the events
of June, 1915, who is detained prisoner at Doul-
leus, was assaulted, on the 10th inst, by one of his
cell-companions, named Huber. who wished to kill
him for having betrayed the cause.
The obsequies of the Queen of Belgium, which
began on the 18th instant, and ended on the 10th,
at night, were very splendid. The unfortunate
wife Of Leopold was much loved by her subjects,
and wherever her corpse passed, the highest marks
OF mourning were exhibited by the population AT
Laeken, where her remains were carried, the
ceremony of the burial was very imposing, and the
whole nobility Of Belgium, the diplomatic corps OF
the foreign nations surrounded the hearse, and
companied IL 10 the tomb with the highest marks

Radetzki has been on the eve of being murdered
at the Camp OF Somma, where plot had been

the reception given by the brewers Of London TO

marks OF satisfaction AT Brescia, the rejoicing was
public. The shops were shut, as during festival.

"A magnificent statue Of Queen Isabella was in

feet high. and made Of bronze.
The Affairs OF Germany are going on with some
hopes Of an arrangement. Mr.. D'Iassem plug, the
cause Of so much trouble in Hesse Cassel has sent
IN his resignation, and his place will be taken by
Mr.. Wamer d'Eschyege. The Austrian troops
cent TO HeEse, in order TO restore peace, received
orders TO return. IL is said that a treaty will be
signe at Esmansdorff, where the Empress Of Rus
tia will 60, as If for health and where the poten-
tates OF Germany will assemble, under the pretext
ofpresenting their respects TO her No doubt, this
news is relative TO the project OF the great powers
OF the north OF Europe TO reconstiue the treaty Of
1915.
No news from the Duchies, where everything
will coon be settled, either by the submission Of
the Scheswig- 1olstein to the King Of Denmark,
or by an armed Intervention Of Russia, Austria,
and France. The sooner the can be ended,
the better il viii be for the people Of the north Of
Germany, who suffer by it.
