1t was confidently stated in Paris, on the 18th,
that the President had actually accepted The resig
nation Of the Ministry. The announcement was
made more startling by the further assurance that
M. de Girardin would be member of the new
cabinet. These rumors caused a half cent decline

The Immediate cause of the resignation OF the
French Cabinet was a proposition on the part of
Louis Napoleon TO repeal the electoral law of the
3lst May. The Messenger de PAssemble says !:
At a cabinet council, held few days back
with the President Of the Republic in the chair,
that high fUncionary proposed plainly to his min
listers 10 repeal the law of May 81. That propost

The Minister Of the Interior declared that for his

executive power of the danger of repeating tbt
law OF May 81, also rendered his resignation

The withdrawal of M. earlier consequent
would signify that the Government is no longe
disposed to persist in the political system which
has hitherto pursued. What could confirm this in
