FRANCE,

PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE following semi-oficial
note is published;
The President having accepted the conditions
on which M. Dufaure agreed to form new
cabinet, had on bis part asked as his sole con-
dition that the ministers of war; marine aud
foreign affairs should retain their Office No
difficulty oaght to have arisen on this point, as
it has been admitted u, der all previous minis
tries that these departments should in the
interest of the country and army be placed
beyond the reach of parties. At the last mo-
ment, however, these portfolios have been
claimed by the projected ministry. The Mar.
sha has not been able to agree to this modifica-
tiop, which appears to him adverse the good
organization of the army and the continuance
of diplomatic relations.
The negotiations are consequently being
broken off. M. Dnfaure has been relieved of
the mission to form new cabinet and M.
Bathe is entrusted Herewith.
The note in which NJ. Dufaure and his COL
leagues announced their inability to agree to
the Marshaps con iition stated that while the
chief of parliamentary cabinet could not
consent to three colleagues being placed be-
yond his control, still when this question of
principle was settled President MacMahon's
preferences would naturally be taken into
serious consideration.

BOSTON, Dec. THE Herald publishes a
lengthy statement by Mr.. Calvin relative to
the recovery of the body of Capt. Ryan, which
says that the relatives in nearly every instance
received no aid from the government. being
obliged to get to the scene of the wreck and
back again as best they could at great expense,
and charges Capt Truxton, in command at the
Norfolk navy yard, with refusing to allow
bodies TO be left at the navy yard over Sun day
night till caskets could be obtaiped. The state
ment says, in conclusion, that if Captain
Truxton had sent couple of launches, which
he bad lying at Norfolk, to the scene of the
wreck Immediately upon being made acqnaint-
ed with tee disaster nearly every body would
have been recovered at the time. AS it is
now no little trouble and difficulty
would attend the removal of many
of the seamen who lie so buried that it would
be hard to identify them. He thinks Captain
Truxton has been dereict in his duties other
wise. He says notice was sent to the captain
from Van Slyck's landing on Wednesday that
the bodies of Captain Ryan and others had
been found on the previous day, but neverthe
less the fact was never reported by Captain
TruxtDn. Parties interested are of the opinion
that Captain Truxton's behavior is worthy of
some notice on the part of the government
