ENGLAND. .a
The English general and political news
possesses no special feature of interest.
m ,.g FRANCE. r-r
Great excitement had prevailed at Paris
during the week, in consequence Of the
resignation en- masse of the minister's
This was caused first by the open hostili-
ties Of the President towards General
Changarnier, who, in defiance of the open
prostration of the ministry, was given per-
mission on the instant, and by decided
majority. to justify his conduct before the
Assembly. Both the right and left warm
ly applauded the general, wher the min
istry abruptly withdrew and with equal alb
ruptness resigned in body. The Presi-
dent experienced great difficulty in the for
nation of a new cabinet-M. Barot hav-
ing refused to accept the office This
state of things continued for nearly week,
when, as is stated by the telegraph des-
patch of Friday, dated Paris, the Moni-
teur appeared with the Presidents speech,
and the official announcement Of Drouyn
de L'Huys for Foreign Affairs, and Gen.
eral Regnaud des Jean de Angly for War,
with the new appointments also Of Minis
ters Of Marine, Public Works, and Com
merce.
Another decree, signed by the Minister
of the Interior and Of War, is published,
and revokes the decree by which the Ma
tional Guard and the troop of the first di-
vision were united under one command.
The effect of this decree is to establish
the post heretofore held by General Chan
GARNER. General Parrot takes command
OF the National Guard, and the troops of
the first division are to be commanded by
General Broguay de Hilliers. He enters
upon his duties by issuing general order
10 the army Of Paris, in which he explains
the object of his mission, and states that
he will maintain the discipline which his
predecessor established. He also states
that he will uphold the authority establish
ed by the constitution, and give his ener-
getic support in the execution of the laws.
A postscript states that "a motion had
been made in the assembly that the men,
bers should retire to their bureaus to raise
commission to prepare resolutions ex.
pressive Of the sense of the legislature in
regard to the recent events, which motion
was carried, against the active opposition
of the ministry, by vote of 500 to 359.
Great confusion is stated to have taken
place In the Assembly. After the decla.
ration Of the vote. very little was done at
the Bourse. On Friday, SIS opened at
"a a IS, and closed at "a a 95.
GERMANY.
In regard to the German question there
are many probable and improbable ru-
mors. Nothing is actually known, the
purposes of the conference at Dresden
being scrupulously secret, which is thought
not to be a favorable sign.
The tone Of triumph which pervades the
Prince Schwartzenburg, and the growing
hostilities of the Chambers at Berlin, which
meet on the Sd instant. are also named as
evidences of the unsatisfactory state of the
negotiations.
At the latest dates, 9TH instant, Prince
Schwartzenburg's mission to Vienna was
stated to have failed OF its intended OBJ.

The Emperor of Austria and the King
Of Prussia have agreed to meet at Dres-
den about the middle of the month. The
convention to arrange the difficulties be.
tween the Dutches had arrived at Rems-
bv, and at the latest date had given the
authorities three days to consider what
course they would pursue. Meantime the
government and the peoples representa-
tives in Wur,omburg are at loggerheads
upon the subject Of voting the supplies,
and there appears to be probability that
a second edition oil the Hesse- Cassel affair
will he enacted.
The accounts from Rome indicate that
any serious disturbance at Paris would be
taken advantage Of to unfurl the republi-
can banner in the Holy City, where French
soldiers have become so obnoxious that
they are indiscriminately assaulted by the
citizens on every possible occasion.
SPAIN.
There is no news beyond the usual
weekly statement Of the resignation of
Narvaez's cabinet, which this time was
caused by the Queens having received
