FROM OUR Paris CORRESPONDENT.


AXIS, OCIOBEh III, lOJls
The Alonife,r of this morning announces, rather
unexpectedly, the termination of the Ministerial
crisis which, for the last fortnight has been ac-
lively occupying the public mind The attempt
to get at the head of the Cabinet man Of ability
and influence, belonging to any other than the Bo
napartist faction, has signally failed. Legitimists
and Oreanists OF all shades have refused 10 accept
office upon condition Of proposing the repeal of the
law of the 3lst of May, and the re-estabishment
of universal suffrage prescribed by the CoHsti-
tuition. Republicans and Democrats have refused
to accept office upon condition of receiving with
universal suffrage the revision Of the Constitution
and devotion to the personal policy Of the Prcsi-
dent. The new Cabinet therefore, is composed Of
men who can bring to the support Of M. BoNAPARTE
no additional influence whatever, either in the AS
sembly or in the country. All parties at the pre-
sent moment refuse alliance with him; and we
will see in the early measures of the Assembly,
which is TO meet on the 4th of November, the
strength in that body pure Bonspartism. Ofthe
nine late Ministers, none are retained. Of the nine
new Ministers the name Of none, save that OF M.
LACROSSE, has probably ever been uttered on your
side Of the Atlantic. The Cabinet is composed as
follows, by Presidential DEGREES bearing date yes

TIrgiiia.-The Richmond Enqui-
rer learns that the joint-worm has
commenced It's ravage5, in the wheat
fields in Albemarle county, and de-
stroyed already a great deal of the
growing crops in that county.
Somh CaroLlna.-The Yorlville
Miscellany, of the 24th ult., says:
"The weather is and has been for
several days extremely warm and
dry-the thermometer ranging from
so to 90 degrees. We have not had
q drop of rain for some four or five
weeks, and the need of is fast tell
ing on the crops-the corn is badly
wilted, and in many places burnt
the cotton is small, ,sickly and yellow /;
oats have come to dead stand
gardens are severely injured, and
nothing seems TO be doing well but
the wheat crop, which presents a
fine prospect for an abundant har-
vest. But with the exception of the
wheat, we have strong indications OF
at least daguerreotype likeness OF

TenneSSee.--The Memphis Enqui-
rer of the 30th ult. says: "Wo are
informed by intelligent gentlemen
from the country, that the crops oJ
all descriptions, wheat, cotton and
corn, present the most promising ap-
pearance. The i'll effect OF the ear.
ly bad weather, has been entirely
surInounted, and the planters are
confident of plentiful reward o.
their labors."
Georgia.-The Cassvile Stand,
ard of the 29th ult. says: "Thc very
dry weather which we have had fol
the last month, is likely to prove Sc,
riously injurious to the crops in thi,
section. Corn is small and back
ward, and oats will prove almost ,
total failure without a speedy fall o
rain. The stands of cotton are tol.
erably fair, though so backward thai
fear is entertained that the early
frosts Of fall will cut short the crop
The wheat crop has sustained less
injury than any other, and without
some very unusual calamity, fail
average crop may be regarded a!
certain"
L0uSSianG.-The Franklin Plant
ers' Banner, of the 3lst ult. says
"The young corn throughout on
parish looks quite thrifty, and prom
ises good yield. There has beer
more than usual planted this year
A little more rain, however, woul,
be beneficial not only to it but to tn
