PARIS, OCTOBER l3, 1851.
Since the date of my last there have appeared
in the political horizon signs which leave little doubt
that this Government is on the eve of important
notifications, not only in the personnel of4ts Minis
try, but of its interior policy. 1t is the determine
tion on the part of the President to effect this last
change which is producing forcibly change Of
Cabinet. An abandonment of the direction hereto
fore pursued, and acquescence in the line which
the chief of the State is now seeking to enforce,
would imply personal extinction and selCbelittle-
ment revolving to the selfesteem of certain men,
bers of the Cabinet, and effronery in tergversa-
| ton of which even BARoCHE and LEON FAUcHER
are incapable. Ii seems certain, then, that NJ Bo-
NAPARTE, in order to open some chance to the legal
revision of the Constitution, by which alone he can
retain power without revolution, after the expi-
ration of the few remaining months Of his term has
resolved to propose TO the Assembly the restoration
OF universal suffrage, by the repeal Of the odious
law of May 81, 1850. Upon this condition GER
tain number of the Democratic members Of the AS
sembly have promised to support bill for the con-
vocation of a Constituent Assembly. Il is very
doubtful whether with their aid, the required ma
jority of three.fourhs can be obtained. The Re-
publican LAMARTINE and the Democrat GIRARDIN,
who have given this pledge, have little personal in
fuence and can detach, with themselves, but very
few from the two hundred and fifty Republicans in
the Assembly, of whom the great mass are abso-
lutey opposed, for the present. to any modification
of the Constitution. Inthis they are not very con-
sstent Democrats for their opposition is evidently
dictated by their fears that full and free expression
Of the will of France under universal suffrage might be ad
to republican institutions and they absolutely
tain that majority Of the Assembly seek revision Of the Con-
stituon solely from their hostility TO the Republic is
likely too, that if at the proposition Of the President and his
friends universal suffrage should be re-esabshed, many Of
the majority especially Of the Oeanist divisions who voted
three months ago for revision, will ssanst it from the
fear that revision would exclusively the benefit Of
M. BoSAraRrE, whom they particularly desous to
cude. is likely therefore, that the gard project Of rev
zion wesld lose many would gain BY the repeal
of the law Of the sls May At any rate, argue the friends
of M BorAPARrE, can, if revision be carried
make much political capital of advocacy Of the repeal
Of the law of 9ts May to be made available irregular
