Chamber gave to the Ministry not moro than
about twelve supporters in on Assembly which

would have made men Of ordinary sagacity
cautious in their dealing with the people. A
wise Government would try to devise mean,
to change tho feeling among the people, and to
create for itsclf more numerous party. In.
stead of this, We find the Prussiau Ministers
incapable of inaugurating any popular move
ment. They make themselves not only hated.

their opponents over to their party, but they
ALLEVIATE many Of their friends by their utter

Of compromise with traitors anywhere.

Some Of the Sunday papers publish report
from Washington that the President determlheu
some time during the past week to recall uen'
Mcclellan to the command of the Army OF the
Potomac, and was only prevented from do'ns
30 by o threat on the part Of several members
of the Cabinet to resign in case such o step
was persisted in. We do not believe there 10
the slightest foundation for such story. A
certain class Of newspapers, inimical to the
Government, and opposed to any energetic &c,
ton in the conduct of the war, are determined
to keep Gen. McClellan's name before inc
country, and fill their columns daily Win It,
ports of the movements Of man who' except
80 far as he can be used as the instrument OF
political design, has ceased to be OF any I'm
portance whatever. This story is undoubtedly
got up as a part of that plan. AT least SIX
months ago the President lost all confidence in
Gen. McClellans fitness to command an army,
and the wonder is, not that he does not restore
him to q place for which, after 50 long trial,
he proved his unwortbness, but that be should
have permitted him to remain in it so long.
