1t appears that it is NJ Troplong, the President Of
the Senate and First President of the Court Of Cas-
sation who will perform the functions of officer of
the eat cira for the Emperor at the marriage cere-
m0ny.
In letter, dated Wednesday evening. the 10th
ult, the correspondent OF the Morning Chronicle
says The great event Of the day Il the proposed
marriage OF the Emperor with Mademoiselle de Mon
to which creates an indescribabe sensation in every
quarter and among every class. l understand that
the ministers are 80 much alarmed at the effect the
announcement will have on the public mind, that
they yesterday with the sole exception Of NJ Fould)
sent in their designations, but that the Emperor has
refused to allow them to retire. In my letter Of yes
terday mentioned that Louis Napoleon had himself
announced his intentions to the assembled cabinet.
II appears that before making the communication
he sent for the Count de Mony, M. Troplong,
ing their advice, but to announce to them his
intention to marry the lady as q thing COM
pletely decided on in his own mind, and to express
hope that they would show the same devotion and
the same affection to the future Empress that they
had done on so many important occasions to himself
The council of ministers, on hearing the communica
ton from the mouth OF the Emperor were in state
Of CONSERVATION; and as / have already stated, al
most the whole of them rendered their resigna-
ton. N. Fould alone assumed the character Of a
coulter, and affected to act as c0ncator between
his colleagues and the sovereign. His conduct is
said to have given great offence to the other minis
tiers, who declared that his evident object was TO
make himself "master of the situation" by attering
the Emperor and thus raising hmselfto at the
expense or his colleagues. M. de Persigny and Mar
shall dc st. Armand were the only two who had the
ciaring that they were only expressing the unani-
nous feeling of the public. Their opinion was, how
ever, overruled by the Emperor himself, who plainly
told them that his mind was made up, and that he
did not ask their advice to whether it was to be
done, but as to how it was to be DONE It does not
appear certain whether the ministers will persist in
their retirement or not: but the general opinion is
that as soon as they find that the hubbub created
by the first announcement shall have ceased, they
will quietly resume their places As to the opinion
Of Bonaparte family on this great event, it is
generally unfavorable. The ex-king Jerome and
his son have kept a00f, and the Emperor, probably
knowing what their feelings on subject would
be, has made them no communication. fhe ex king
makes an excuse OF his recent ndispOsti0n to re-
main at home so as not to be called upon to explain
himself with his nephew. The Princess Mathilde,
to whom, as stated in my letter Of yesterday the
Emperor communicated his intentions, is the only
member of the family who has ventured to remon-
strate on the subject with Louis Napoleon. She has
not only made use Of facts and arguments-some of
them by no means complimentary to the future EN-.
press-in the hope Of dissuading his Majesty from
the nresdlidnce, but adopted the usual course of
pretty woman, tears and applications. All was of
no use Louis Napoleon said that his mind was made
up, andth he was infexble; and he added that he
knew that the salons of Paris were not favorable to
him. but that the people, when they saw young and
beautiful empress, on whom rested the hopes Of the
Napoleonic dynasty, would welcome and applaud both
him andher The marriage may therefore be consider
ed as matter which, though not yet fat accom-
pti ia as inevitable if it were. have just learned
that several Of the ministers who present last
evening at the Princess Mathilde's weekly reception
spoke Of the marriage as settled affair and said that

future Empress would not attend any more sources
and that the Emperor had intimated his wish that

RUMORs OF MINISTERIAL CHANGEs-LoUIs NAPO-
Icons SECOND BALL-COLONIzATIoN OF ALGE-
RIA.
Among other rumors that were rife lately was that
of Ministerial crisis. 1t was alleged that M.
persisted in it; and that his successor would be
either the Marquis dAudiret, or the Marquis d'Pas-
toret; further, that Count Morney was to be the
Minister Of State and that the present holder of the
office, M. Achille Fould, would resume the direction
of the Finance Department; finally, that General
Caurobert would succeed Marshal de st. Arnaud in
the War Office. The Moaitenr denies that there is
any truth in the statements, yet the probability that
believed, the only difficulty being that he makes the
recall Of the exiled Generals condition Of his
ccptancc.
The emperor's second ball was great affair;
COCO persons were present, among them good many
SpaniaIds, but neither M lie Montjo, nor her mother.
1t may be remembered that sometime since, we
mentioned report that colonization company on
gigantic scale, was among the cherished projects
of the Emperor. Thatreport has again been revived
and the Akbdr of Algiers states it for fact, that
sum of five millions Of francs is to be taken from the
reserves of benefit and charitable societies, for the
purpose of transporting population Of 500 900 per-
sons to Algeria
