PARIS, June 81, 1853.
| The Moniteur has Of late been retrieving its re-
putation, as an attractive and vigorous newspa-
per, which had began to be seriously compromised.
Nobody had been exiled, nobody's property had
been confiscated, and no startling fiat whatever
had gone forth, for two months at least On
Tuesday afternoon at the Bourse there was ru-
NOR that the next days JMoniteur would contain
something novel, and, to the public in general,
unexpected. The spokesman was consulted on
the morrow with no little interest. There it was,
in the first column, under the heading Partie Of
yfcseNe. The Ministry Of Police was suppressed,
and de Maupas dethroned. The motive alleged
remember, alleged) was that the calm and secu-
rty prevalent in the country were such that there
was no longer any necessity of the ministry,
(which had been instituted under exceptional cir
cumstances" De Maupas was put in among the
Senators, as consolation, Gas if that could con-
sole anybody for any thing and would shortly
bo sent somewhere in a diplomatic capacity The
more important officers in the department were
advanced in the Legion of Honor, if they were
IL
outsiders.
Ofcourse, the "calm and security" business is
a mere pretext to cover the real motive, which is
none other than desire on the part of the En-
peror and the other members Of tho Cabinet to rid
themselves of the society and co-partnership of de
Maupas Though he held the title of Minister,
and has seat at the cabinet councils, he was
not looked upon quite at par by the others, and
he gradually became intrusive and importunate
with his advice and his pretensons. 1t became
necessary to shake him off and Louis Napoleon 8
way is always to clap the individual to be dis
pensed with into the institution called the Senate,
otherwise known as Chelsea Hospital, or the Re-
fuge for the Destitute. The Pays and Patris called
upon the country to rejoice at this reward Of
merit and this accession of dignity in the person of
the late Minister. A day or two afterwards de
Maupas was appointed Ambassador to Naples,
the Ambassador already there being transferred to
Belgium, and the envoy there being recalled to
Paris in the capacity of Councillor of State So
ends de Maupas to be put out of the cabinet and
sent away on mission is, in France, perfectly
we'll understood to be a political downfall.
Now, as to the suppression of the Ministry of
Police. The department is no longer ministry,
but it existed under form of Correction de S,srete
Generate, (" as bureau attached to the Ministry
of the Interior; and project, who had signalized
himself by INSCRIPTIONS obedience, is called in
from the Department Of the Aube to take charge
oft. To all intents and purposes the ministry
is still maintained, only the presiding officer is
not member Of the Cabinet. The sscalm and
security" are not such as to enable the Emperor
IN with he octi IF h,,roo
Three weeks ago the Emperor proposed to the
Legislative Body guillotine law for the repression
of Instruction and barricades, which is strikingly
at variance with the calm and security now SO
complacently referred to. Four weeks ago the
budget, containing the appropriations for the
Ministry Of Police for the year 1853, was submit
ted to the Legislature and voted. The appro-
priation will doubtless be applied to the purposes
notwithstanding the declared suppress
sion Of the department.
Other motives, all working together, have con-
spired to remove M, do Maupas. The Minister
of Police was very unpopular innovation. The
Minister of the Interior did not like it, for it some
what circumscribed his action. The Minister of
State thought that de Maupas watched him UNI
necessarily closely, and had been for some time
complained that their hands were no longer free,
and sent serious circumstances to Paris. But
above all, the Project of Police of this city felt
and harassed by the supervision exer-
cised by man who, he felt, was less acquainted
with the matter in hand than himself. Their at
tributes were not so clearly defined as to obviate
clashing and interference. 1t was said, too, ia
fortnight ago, that dc Maupas was totally igfo-
rant of some conspiracy that Pietri the project
had discovered in all its ramifcations. 1t was
Lhen represented to the Emperor that dc Maupas
was useless, and his removal was urgently pressed
by Pietri, Fould, and Persigny. All these con
siderations have doubtless had their influence in
bringing about the result have described.
The same number of the official journal con-
taned several other mutations in the departments.
Agriculture and Commerce are taken away from
the Interior and absorb the Public Works, max
ing new ministry out of the whole. M. Magne,
head of the latter department., and one of tho
most efficient officers of the government, becomes
minister of the consolidated departments,
Then again, we have batch of nominations
10 the Senate-morc cases of restitution. Pros
,er Merionee, of the Institute, is made Senator
because he has done good deal of writing of late
Tor the .Moniteur, and suppose it was part of the
bargain. Berger, project of the Seine, (upperl
municipal officer of Paris on account OF his long
services in that capacity, and also in compensa-
ion for his removal. The Marquis of Lavalette,
ate ambassador to Constantinople. in tardy con-
,deration of his late ignomnous recall from that
post and his non-appontment to any other diplo-
matte station 1t was said three months ago that
his indemnfcation for his disgrace was offered
lin, but that La Marquise de Lavalette, an
American lady, Indignantly refused it, as she APP
,reciated the Senate in its real light, and under
tood that her husbands diplomatic career was
,ver The accepted it. If this was true, 1t would
appear that reflection has brought other councils,
md that the second offer was received in differ
