The struggle between the two powers OF France,
The President and the National Assembly, is not
yet over and, if quetness is not restored ere leng
we may toresee much more difficult contest be-
tween Louis Napoleon and the representatives Of
France. Though it had been reported that the
same ministers who had sent in their designations
would keep their offices, the President thought it
more prudent to form another cabinet, and, al
though do not think he has been lucky IN his
choice, cannot blame him.
The facts relative to this ministerial crisis and
Its denoutment are interesting to those who are
carefully following the course of events in France
The debate which furnish for the Herald, will
throw light upon events which are little known,
not only in the United States, but even in Paris.
The crisis which took place last week may be
called an :" old story" The dismissal of General
Changarnier had been decided by the President at
the review of Satorv, and at that time it would
have taken place on the dismissal of General Neu-
mayer, If the ministers Of Louis Napoleon had not
been opposed to it. But the President as every
body knows, is very obstinate he insisted upon
this being done as quick possible, and it was de-
cided in the State Council that the ordinance
January. AT this time, M. Fould, Minister Of Fl
nance, sent to the journal La Patrie the copy Of
the order given by Gen. Chargarnier to the army,
and, by doing So the Minister hoped that the read
ing of the article would indispose the majority
towards him. His object was, also, to prove that,
if M. Baze, when he went to the prison of Clichy
to deliver M. Mauguier, had thought it necessary
to demand the help Of troops, he would have been
unable to oh tain them.
Thus the batteries were ready, and everything
seemed TO have fair chance Of success, when the
interpretations of Mr.. Napoleon Bonaparie forced
the Minister OF War to demand delay OF twenty
four hours, which, in fact was useless, to answer
the representative Of the mountain. These twenty
four hours would have been sufficient to publish
the removal Of General ChanGarnier; but the loyal
impatience OF the old soldier, who desired 10 clear
himself OF the accusation Cast upon him, prevented
the execution of the plot, and the victim of the
E'ysee obtained an unanimous triumph. Juae ire
at the Presidency, and the cabinet of minis
were broken Oft, not by the consent of the minis
ter, but by the wishes of Louis Napoleon, who de-
manded them TO resign Immediately.
have neither time nor space to relate here the
difficulties encountered by the President to form a
new ministry. Mr.. Oiion Barrot would have had
the preference il he had not been opposed to the
discharge of General Changarnier. Louis Napo-
leon, in this difficult position, was on the eve of
conserving to the wishes of Mr.. Odilon Barrot,
versatlons with the leaders of the Montague party
of the Legislative Assembly, came to announce to
the President that the extreme left was energet-
cally against General Changarner, and conse.
quently, it would be possible to obtain ma jority
in the house. From this very moment, the dis
charge Of General Changarner was decided, and
the new ministry constituted as follows -
Mr. Rouher, Minister of Justice.
Mr.. Drouyn de L'huys, Minister of Foreign
Affairs.
ME- Mr.. General y Regnaul' de st. Jean d'Angely,
Mr. Theodore Ducos, Minister OF the Navy
Mr.. Baroch, Minister of the Interior.
Mr.. Magne. Minister of Public Works.
Mr.. Bonjean, Minister of Commerce and Agri-
culture.
Mr. de Parieu, Minister of Public Instruction.
Mr.. Achille Fould, Minister of Finance.
The position of General Changarnier was divided
The command of the troops OF the first military d.
vision was given to General Baraguey d'HitlIers,
and the command of the National Guard of the
Seine TO General Perrot. This ministry swa-
lowed up like hasty plate of SOUP" and there
was such hurry TO dispossess General Changar-
ner that, at two O'Clock, couriers were sent in all
directions to announce TO the generals OF divisions
and brgades that they were to be present, at nine
O'Clock precisely, at the Ministry of War, in orde
TO receive their instructions
The removal of the Commander.n-Chiefo Of the
hrmy was received with sort OF establishment by
the National Assembly, and IL will be anxious
to know what excuse is given to the representa-
lives OF the supreme decision taken by the Pres-
dent and his ministers. 1t appears that the Elysee
hal received communication of a plot organized
between General Changarnier, M. Dupin, the
Speaker OF the Hcuse, and the Committee of Per
manence. The plot he'd for its object TO arrest
Louis Napoleon under the charge OF high treason
Then General Chaugarnier would have received
full powers the Committee OF Permanence would
have decreed the forfeiture of the presidency, and
his mise accusation. The necessary orders for
the accomplishment OF this plot, IL appears, were
signed few days before the first sitting of the
legislative assembly, and had been seen by
men whose homer cannot be denied. Connected
" IN this pot was the Dutchess Of Orleans, in Yer
ssilies. Unfortunately, all this is but humbug.
II has been proved that the mother to the Count of
Pans was at Clermont, when she was said 10 be at
Versailles. The fact which caused the story to be
forged is, that Madame Mahul, whose face is
very like that OF the Princess, went that day 10
pee her mother, Madame Dejeau, who lives in
he capital of the department Of Seine ct Disc,
accompanied by her son, who is charming
boy, whom she calls "my king" as many
mothers call their son "my darling, "my pretty"
Dr by any other love name. The house occupied
by Nine. Dejeau's mother Is situated in a lonely
place, and, Mime MaIru being sick, all the shutters
were closed. This sort OF mystery alarmed spy
,i the police, who, having taken some information,
ono ooted the whole affair." which was spread all
pver France, and thought as true as gospel No
ioubt that the plot Of General Changarner, Mr..
)apin and his colleagues, belongs to the same
hop as that Of the Dutchess Of Orleans.
But you know the saying which says that,
when one wishes to kill his dog, he swears that

o'eoa and the COMMANDMENT. Chief OF the first
vision OF the French army.
To what cause can be attributed the fall Of &C.
Eers Changarnier That Is the question Some
ay that the General, having received from Mr..
iuzot the volume Of "Moore," and being asto-
ished at the nonreception, at the same tune, of
he work on Washington" said that very likely
be celebrated writer had presented it to Louis
Napoleon. Some say, also, that General Changar-
Ter I'D refused to go any more TO the Elysee, ex-
en-, on business; some others, that the lodgings
ccupied by the illustrous General, at the Tulle-
zee, were wanted by Louis Napoleon. | think
y self that the cause OF the fall Of General Chan
hrnier, only be attributed TO the obstacle ne
yas To the Propagation Of powers by the President
