The Paris correspondent Of The London DAILY Neos


The Ga,as de France speaking Of the retirement Of ~
Drouyn de Lhuys The signifeauon Of tie ministerial
change is easily understood but impossible b commented

naturally afraid 10 say what little IL knows More
Sunday most OF the principal editors take
holiday and there is nobody IN the newspaper olives WHO

situation II is only after consultation aid an inquiry as TO
the Whereabouts Of the black man that leading artce
with reference much to the matter in hand as to ne
state OF the liberation barometer venture TO tell the pnb
lie what his journal Thinks Without however the assist
auce Of the French press agree with tie Ga' "a fTa
that the why NJ Drouyn de huy leaves The cabinet y
not difficult TO seek. He accepted the portfolio OF foreign al
fairs in 1862 because his predecessor NJ Ihouvebe had gone
greater lengths against the Pope than upon rejection tue I'm
into Office as the champion Of the temporal power 80

event OF the days for 10 notorious that ~ Benedetn has
been severely censuIed by the war party at court
The news announced by tie Moner today reported
three four days but remembering the severe admoni
lions which the NonET has otter glyen - journals winch
mention IT, 1t is difficult 20 penetrate the motives which
rendered Necessary the resignation of ~ DrouJn de Lhuys

remembered that the rupture of the Vienna Conferences he
resigned in 1855 and that IN the following year be resigned

ing hen considerable length However 10 would perhaps DC
too far to consider the present change OF ministers as on
indication Of advance toward Prussia. We not al

with the Court Of Berlin nay have entered into the cOndea

post
The other Paris journals merely mention the change Of min
listers without any comment.
The /sdfpeNde1os BeL1s
We beard the days since but hesitsted
mention it appeared 10 be doubtful Now however the
Monitor confirms The report The OF this modification
According the reports most generally spread VI Drouyn dc
huys laitery found himself opposition 20 bis colleagues
and especially Nm Rouher FOud and Lavaette on the sub
jsct Of the policy which should be adopted toward Prussia
Hence antagOnsm which did not allow him entire
freedom action IN the direction Of his department and
the Emperor relieve him from his functions which request
the Emperor complied with in the most friendly terms II
AOpeUG Be concluded from this change Of Prsonf mat

ever and they probably be revived the final termina
ton Of peace between Prussia and Austria without however
