The Cabinet and the Opposition-In Intrigue for

Gitimists.
PARI 8, June /, 1870.
There is great Intrigue going on for the purpose
OF oustlng the present Ministry and bringing into
power many Of those who held the rens OF govern.
ment prior to last January, although NJ Rouher 1t Is
not intended should at the outset have porteJeune.
The plan of the intriguers Is to form new Cabinet
with NJ. Olivier the chief; that NJ. FORBADE de Ia
Roquette should return to the Ministry OF the In
terror, NJ Magne to that OF Finance and the Marquis
de Lavaette to the Foreign ONCE. M. Olivier, how
ever, has refused to join this combination as by
doing he would have to throw over his friends OF the
centre gducle and portion or the centre drott.
He has, moreover the sagacty to see that
the proposition is simply 1.-The insertion Of
the thin end or the wedge" for his own
downfall. The Intrigue has actually been carried
into the Tuileries, but the Emperor, like NJ. Olivier,
Will not listen to it, and the result Is the strengthen
ing II possible, or the entente c0rdae between the
Emperor aud NJ. Olivier.
Connected with the above are certain editors of
newspapers, such as the Pays, the Orleanst, the
legitmlst and republican organs. They proposed to
have a dinner at the Cascade, in the Bois de Bou-
logne for the purpose Of coming to an under
standing and pledging themselves to do all In
their power to turn out" the present Ministry.
Many of the editors accepted the invitation, be.
lleVing that the dinner was TO be simply pro.
fessona and friendly affair, unconnected with poll
ties Tn true intent, however, having come to the
knowledge OF NJ Pietr, the Prelect OF Police, that
functonary has forbidden the dinner 1t is contrary
to the law for than twenty persons to meet for
the discussion OF political matters without the con-
sent Of the police.

THE IBERIAN QUESTION.
Nobody takes the slightest interest In the Portuguese
revo .ution and the French government participates
in the opinion. Whenever Louie IS Minister, Sadan-
ha heads military revolt and Is sure OF success.
Within six months after Saldanha becomes Minister,
Louie plays the same cards and Is sure to win. A
flend of mine told an attache Of the Portuguese EN-
bassy TO state this view OF the case to his Ambassa
dor, who endorsed 1t as correct.
