French Affairs.

PARIS, December 7.-Presideut Mac
Mahon's determination TO inslst on hay.

seems to have been very sudden. On
Thursday, after discussing this question
with NJ. Dufaure, he concluded with
these words: After AL you aIe responsi.

the choice of your colleagues III. Du
tsure was afterwards much surprised 10

determination.
PARIS, December 7.-Presldent Mac
Mehon has finally conc uded to give Nj.
Delnure ful liberty il forming the new
Cabinet. The Ministry will, therefore,

President Mac Mshon's reservation that
he may have the choice OF the Ministers
of War, Marine and Foreign Atfnrs
PARIS, Decem Der The following
semi.otiicisl note is published; The
President having accepted the conditions
on which Mr. Dursure agreed to form Il
new Cabinet, had, on his part, asked as
his sole condition that the ministers OF
War Marine and Foreign Affairs should
retain office, no difficulty ought, it would
seem, TO have arisen, IS 1t has
been admitted under all previous minis
tries that those departments should, in the
interest of the country and army, be
beyond the reach of the parties. AT last
however, these portfolios have been
cl-imed by the projected ministry. The
Marshal has not been able to agree to
this IN Jdifcatlon, which appears to him
adverse TO the good organization OF the
arnY ard continuity of diplomatic rela.
tions. Negotiations have consequently
been broken Ch.

dentIy for piunder, as the parties had

nflcnng injurie5 which caused MS death
soon after. The old LADY WAS siso club

ney and vile, who wore sleeping IN the
