VI OATsEktOh al
Home and n Pacific Policy Abroad.
The Paris correspondent of the
London Pail Nall Gazette writes as
follows:
The information contained in nv
letter the day before yesterday turns
out to have been quite correct. The
Emperor, desiring unity in his Cab
met, has modified his Ministry.
This is the reason which the Patrie
gives the substitution of NJ. de
Lavalette and NJ. De FORBADE la Ro-
quette for the Marquis de Moustiers
and NJ. Pinard. The semi official
journal adds that, besides this gen
eral consideration there is a partic
ular One-M de Lavalette has al
ways shown himself favorable to
pacific policy. Then to a profound
knowledge of men and affairs he
unites urbanity Of manner and toll
Grant opinions In terminating its
article, the Patrie says that the sig
MITIGATION of the Ministerial reorgan-
ization may be summed up thus-at
home, unity of direction; abroad,
pacific policy. 1t is said that the
Marquis de LaYalette has already
drawn up a circular in which he
does not disown the admiration he
previously expressed when he wss
Minister adj interim for agglomera
tons, and this is, of course, the
same as recognizing what has been
accomplished in Germany; but it is
supposed that the new Minister, not
seeing why Germany alone should
profit by agglomeration, hints in
vague manner at compensation. 1t
is uncertain, however, whether VI. de
Lavalette will try to get Luxem-
bOurg, or whether he will carry his
propositions still further. The Mar
quis de MOustiere, who was fore
warned of what was about to hap
pen, has been raised to the dignity
of Senator, but nothing has yet
been accorded to NJ Pinard, who,
last night, had no idea of the fate
which awaited him. 1t seems that
the ex-Minister of the Interior gave
dissatisfaction in different ways; his
manners were too cringing even for
a domestic court; he allowed too
much fuss to be generated round
the Baudin affair; vexation was oc-
casioned by the Minister having
been nicknamed the Duke of Clichy;
and finally, the frigid reception
which the Emperor met with on his
return to Paris after an absence of
six months was the browning cause
of disgrace. If the changes just
made signify anything at home,
they cannot be looked on as reac-
tionary; they certainly show that
the power of NJ. Rouher is in the
ascendant, the present Minister of
Foreign Affairs being to the Minis
ter of State what Frere Joseph was
to Cardinal Richelieu-his anne
ddmRee. If the change is regarded
from a foreign point of view, one
sees NJ Pinard, who has always ex-
pressed sympathy for the Catholic
clergy and the temporal power,
leaving the Cabinet, and M. de Law
alette, who quilted office last year
when the government acted with
energy in Italy, re-entering it. NJ.
de Lavalette is supposed to have
done all in his power to prevent the
Emperor from assisting Austria in
her hour of need, and if he be any
thing more than a government clerk,
his accession to the Foreign Office
implies peace with Prussia and good
will toward Italy One thing will
not fail to strike every one with sur
prise, which is, the moment chosen
to dismiss NJ. de Moustier, who was
called to Office in consequences Of
his intimate knowledge of Eastern
affairs. 1t is stated that the gov
eminent here has not received any
official notice of the departure of
the Turkish and Greek ambassa-
doris from Athens and Constantine
pie. The France says this evening
that when the ErOsis was blOckaded
in Syra by Admiral Hobart, the
government of Athens dispatched
the ship of war Hellas to her assist
ance. The French Minister, on
hearing this, sent the Forbin to the
same waters to mediate. The result
was attended with success, and Ad-
miral Hobart sailed Off Admiral
Jurien de la Graviere was yesterday
summoned by telegraph to Paris;
the Admiral was at TOulon
