SpeculatiOus as 10 tho Presidents Future
Ceurse-Resiguatisn OF Dnke Decnzes-
A New Ministry snid TO Have Been
Formed-The Elections for Councillors.

LONDON, Nov. The Times correspondent.
commenting on the less conciliatory tone of the
Moniteur and the other semi-ofica papers,
says the reason for it is that the ministry have
decided t. be governed by the result of the
elections for the general council. If the Con-
servatives have a considerable success the
session Of the Chambers may possibly open
with the present Cabinet in power If the re-
suit is drawn battle, the Cabinet will be
changed, but not the policy. If the Left is
successful. a more thorough change will be
made to bring the government into harmony
with the Republican majority. If the Right
wins decisive victory, the Senate may ac-
quiesce in second dissolution of the lower
House, as such victory would show that the
senatorial electors were not hostile to dissolu-
ton, and by granting it would not risk their
seats.
The same correspondent has received the in
formation that Sundays elections will make
little difference in the present political status.
Most OF the outgoing councillors will be re-
elected.
Duke Decazes has consented to a postpone
ment OF the announcement of his resignation
until after Sundays elections.
A Paris correspondent asserts that the fol-
lowing sem-oficial note has been sent to the
provincial papers:
SIT appears to have been decided at the last
Cabinet council that the present Cabinet will
elections 30 the Council General the govern
ment will fiDd itself in the presence of two
extreme pOhcies-one of resistance to the
Chamber of Deputies with the support of the
Senste, the other of complete CONCESSION,
bringing into office a ministry composed ex-
clusively of the Left The present disposition
of the Marshal does not admit of the latter
policy. However. the President is willing to
see il it be not poss BILE TO arrive at some kind
OF transaction by which the Left of the Cham
Der of Deputies and the Right Centre may be
represented in the Cabinet thereby establishing
harmony between the two houses
PARIS, Nov. 3-It is stated that Power
Qaeruer has been invited by the President to
form Cabinet of the Right, in which the
former is to be president of the council and
minister of finance.
Duke Decszes, minister of foreign affairs
has retired from the Cabinet. Other miuis-
terial designations are imminent. MacMahop
has asked Pouyer Quertier, president of the
financial committee and MEMBER of the Left
Centre, to form a new ministry. This has had
coDciiatory effect M. Pouyer Qoertier,
however, meets unexpected d fficultIes and
makes no progress.
At a meeting of Senators of the Left M.
Calmon sharply criticised the acts of the gov
possible.
New YORK, Nov. A cable special saws
the French ministers, in accordance with the
wish of the President, have made up their
minds to meet the Chamber of Deputies on the
7th, recognizing the uselessness of trying to
come to an understanding with the hostile ma
jority of that BODY, and being determined to
persevere in the policy pursued by the Cou-
servative coalition since the 18th of May The
ministers will simply announce the Propagation
of the Chambers for fifteen days Duke Gle
Broge expresses tire conviction that this
measure will be accepted for the reason that
almost all the Deputies and Senators have
business to attend to in the provinces at this
period OF the year, Daring the Propagation a
Conservative campaign will be carried
on. An effort will be made to show that a
parallel exists between the state of the parties
in France at the present day and that in
Prussia during the four years from 1862 to 1866,
and that policy similar to that adopted by
the Prussan government will be equally sue
cessful in solving the French difficulty.
