PARIS, NOVEMBER 6, 1851.
The Assembly convened day before yesterday,
(4th November,) the day to which it was adjourn
ed about three months since. Six hundred and
thiry-three members were in their seats at the call
of the roll This is fifty more than were present
crisis, and the decisive character of the questions
which it was known would be Immediately taken
up, caused this unusually full attendance on the
first day.
The new Ministry, the names of whose mem
bers communicated ten days ago, has been slight
ly modified since M. CoRBIN, appointed Minister
of Justice, declined accepting and decree Of Sa-
turday last nominated in his place M. DAvIEL, a
distinguished lawyer of Rouen. M. D.. has not
been heard of in the political world since the re-
volution Of 1S48. Prior to that, the liberality of
his opinions caused him to be almost ranked with
the republicans of the day. The best proof that
his opinions have been modified by the spectacle
of the Republic in action is found in the fact that
he is member of M. BoNApARTE's actual Cabinet.

new Minister of the Interior among the politicians
of France VIGOROUSLY Bonapartist. NJ It's past
SO far as he has any political past, would attach
him rather to the Legitimists. There is, however
only one man, and he is personal friend OF the
new Minister who believes that the Legitimist par
tialities of M. THoRIeNY will afford any guaranty
against the comprising, whether by constitutional
or extra-constitutiona means, the personal ends Of

But the great event of the day is the annual mes

| Tuesday last. The President distinctly comes GU
with the proposition of which so much talk has
been heard lately. He recommends the repeal o
the actual electoral law and the restoration of uni
uersal suffrage. My provisions have thus far beer
| fully realized. The opening passages Of the mes
sage in which ausion is made to the unsettled state
of the country and the imminent danger of extern
sive revolutionary movement among the ultra De
mocrats and Socialists Of the provinces was receiv
ed by the Left in the Assembly with groans and by
its press in Paris with derision. The body of the
message, in which, by division OF Ministerial de
parments the condition of affairs, foreign and do
mestc, are treated Of, was listened to with eviden
Impotence by the whole house. All were anx
ious to hear the conclusion, in which was announc
ed M. Bonaparte's change of policy and the rea
sons oft The whole Right and Centre, with tn,
exception Of few devoted partisans, gave here un
equivocal marks Of decided disapprobation; ant
| you will read in the papers sent herewith how
promptly and loudly all the journals of the party o
order, Orleanist and Legitmist, have echoed yes
terday the same sentiments. Here is the messsg

i "Messiems les Repyestntants: To-day, ia presenting
you do each year, summary Of the importan

which, in spite Of all my efforts TO the contrary, have led
