abandoned. This morning President
MacMahon's immediate followers affect.
cd TO regard the meeting OF the Left
last evening, at which he declared that
the abuse which had been attempted Of
the Marshalps name by the Republican
Cabinet, could continue no longer. Fon.
tier was in the country till morning, and
Buffet had not been seen at Elysees, So
everybody is convinced that the Marshall
did not write the letter 10 Simon. No
one yet acknowledges its authorship. So
well has the Importance and danger Of
the act been understood that Duke De-
cazes received all Of the Ambassadors
yesterday, and found among them the
most unlavorable impression. Not one
approved OF what had passed, although
come, perhaps, professed little sympathy
Tor the Republican system. On all hands
it was felt certain that the public
opinion OF Europe would be painfully
struck.
The Times correspondent further shows
that the Broglie ministry was appointed
in iultilment OF the threat uttered by Mac.
Mahon that il the Left passed their order
Of the day, which they did adopt yester.
day, declaring that the Chamber will only
place confidence in u Cabinet free to and

republican principles, which alone can
secure order and prosperity, he would
Immediately form a ministry from the
Right. Relative TO Gambetta's speech in
the Chamber Of Deputies yesterday the

Chief Of a Radical party display greater
or more overpowering eloquence; never
did he obtain such applause. The Right

sage from President MacNlahon has lust
been read in the Chamber proroguing the
sitting one month.
LONDON, May 1S.-The Daily News
correspondent telcgraps as follows: Tho
development Of the Ministerial crisis in
France is watched here with very keen
interest, It is universally supposed that
Simon's fall is the result Of ultramon.
taine intrigues. II this should prove the
case the effect on the relations between
France and Germany may be yery grave.
It is an extremely hazardous experiment
for the Right at Varsailes TO begin such
movements, expecting the adoption Of
important military measures by the gov.
ernment. This opinion is publicly ex.
pressed here with very little reserve.
PARIS, May lS.-The Cabinet has been
gazetted. President MacMahon has writ.
ten to Duke De Cazes as follows: "Cir-
cumstances do not permit me to entrust
power 10 the late Cabinet, Of which you
formed part.I wish it to be well under.

with foreign power the relations Of

LONDON, May ls.-The Times Paris
correspondent says that those who have
brought about tho crisis are neither en-
gagged in an Orleanist or legitimate con.
spiracy-not even in an anti-Republican
conspiracy. This conspiracy is simply
one for office, and they are going to BAT.

this paltry ambition they have perhaps
sacrificed the Marshall and France, and
justified beforehand the inevitable re.

VERSAILLES, May l8.-Beiore the leg.
islative bodies were prorogued, a message
was received from President MacMahon
and read in both Chambers. The Presi.
dent explains that he scrnpulously con.

favre and Simon Cabinets were chosen in
accord with majority OF the Chamber
but were unable to unite sufficient
support to guarantee good government,
The President continues: l could not
make further steps in the same path,
without making an appeal to the radical
factions which desire modification Of
the Constitution. Ny conscience and pa.
trtoiism do not permit me TO associate
myself with the triumph OF these

disaster and the humiliation of
