PARIS, May 25.-The gentlemen whom President
MacMahon charged with his Cabinet-making hav-
ing. after a week of excessive labor, failed in the
business the President lost patience took the mat
ter into his own hands last Friday, and clapped one
together himself. AS remarked, rather needlessly,
last week. this is in no wise parliamentary Gov
ernment. Not one member of the new Ministry is
taken from the majority that oyerthrew the last
Ministry. Two other of the Duke de Broglie's
Cabinet are reinstated. All Monarchists, the
President refusing after seeming to incline slightly
toward the Left to accept alliance with the Conser-
vaive Republicans. The present Ministry Is asreac-
tionary the preceding one, and until 1t undertakes
TO constitute is likely to receive the same support
from the same quarters. The current notion Is that
il will not put forward constitutional programme
of its own, but will leave the initiative to the
Assembly. The Assembly, however, is not like to
hurry in that direction. The municipal and general
electoral laws can hardly be kept back from discus
the law against the press the law public nstruc
tion the financial and union questions, should
furnish enough raw material for iangling to occupy
the Summer. So what is called Ministry of
Affairs" may live as long as it can refrain from
setting forth and standing by political programme
or policy BY such programme this or any other
Cabinet is on the brink of falling and bringing the
Assembly itself one stage nearer to dissolution.
Bonapartists are in great glee over the renewed
choice of their Minister Magne, who, in several of
the combinations which some days last week seemed
final, was discarded just because he was Bonapart-
list. Seeing they cast bat 20 votes more or less
they more strongly represented in the Cabinet
than any other group of MonarchIsts Their triumph
is all the greater from the circumstance that, ten
days ago. they cast Is Of their 20 votes to aid the
overthrow of the Cabinet of which this very Magne
was member Whether the inference properly be
that the President of the Republic who persists in
doing without any of the numerous Republicans,
cannot or viii not do without the Bonapartists ii
equally gratifying TO them. Nor are the Legiti-
mists low in spirits. Although not quite as vigor-
ously represented in the new as they were in the
old Cabinet il promises TO answer their general pur-
poses Just as we'll They have had the pleasure of max
ing their strength felt and of casting out their favo
rite enemy, the Orleanist Duke de Broglie. They
are now relieved from the fear of what at
one moment threatened to be the fiery consequence
of their jumping from the Orleanist frying-pan.
There was day or two last week, while NJ.
fAuditiret Pasquier was employed as the MarshaTs
Cabinet-maker when il seemed possible, nay, proba-
ble that. throwing over both Bonapartists and
Chambordists, the President of the Republic would
follow NJ dAudiffrets counsels and rest himself on
the Centers. giving and.takng frankly aid TO and
from the Conservative Republicans. While the Le-
gltimists and the Imperialists have escaped that
danger the Marshal appears TO have thrown away
a chance Of obtaining what at times he has APP
peared TO be desrous of securing 10 w.t. the
ization Of his authority. The organization of the
impersonal Septennat is accepted, in principle by
enough moderate Republicans and Orieanists to
make majority Of the House-a majority II IS true

question of principle should be shaped to question

The defeat of the late and the construction of the
new Ministry, taken together IN one hstorcoparty-
pol;t;ca view principally teach that the organiza-
ton OF the impersonal Septeunat is less than ever

organization Of the personal Septennat is highly i'm
probable. To spare your readers needless etymoogl-
