The correspondent of the Times says the silence
with which the Ministerial statement received re-
sembled that ut sentence Of DEATH The capital
omission from the statement the promise of dis
missals from Office without which nothing can save
the Cabinet. The republicans, after eight years i'm
patient waiting, now wish to install themselves. and
Cabinet can last except on condition Of making
terrible clearance of officials. AS there Is other
reason than this for upsettng the Dufaure Cabinet
do not think its successors need alarm France or
Europe. All that will be Witnessed is avalanche Of
aismissals and appointments which will pass off
without giving trouble, except to those di-
rectly affected. 1t would be premature to
pass judgment ut on the doings
of the Left. We must wait for the new Cabinet and
its programme before crying, Fire President
Mac Mahon, it is hoped, will stay in any case and
show himself perfectly constitutional and ready to
give France any government commanding majority.
The Paris correspondent of the Standard elegraphs
follows although the prevailing opinion is
that the days of the Dufaure Cabinet numbered,
still retain strong impression that the storm will
blow over. 1t is reported that NJ Gambetta intends
to get up ministry of nobodies under Senator
Duclercq. who would be laughed at throughout the
country. do not believe he will perscvere in such
foolish policy" The Daily 7elepaphs Paris
spondent says current rumors point to the retire
n:ent of all the Ministers except NM Say and de
Marcere.
WHAT THEY THINK IN PARIS
despatch from Paris says:-'"The ministerial
statement has generally produced unfavorable i'm
preston. the moderate journals discussing it
with reservations The Journal des Dtbats expressed
regret that the government did not employ more
animated and cordial language. 1t says-'In read
ing their declaration might believe that nothing
had happened in France for long time. whereas
only week ago the Republic established The
Repubiiqae Francais: says:-'The government must
rely only upon the significance of their acts
and the frankness of their attitude, the
declaration will be of no assistance to them.
The Dir Neuvlcmc Steele says:-'The govern
ment spoke for twenty minutes without
pronouncing o single word that they ought to have
spoken. The language Of the Ministry is not new
programme. but simple exposition of the situation
or report Of parliamentary proceedings The
Figaro says THE Ministerial statement is political

after the unfsvorable reception Of their programme

opinion that the Ministry cannot survive more than
twcntyfour hours In some quarters it is said that
. crisis will immediately. that President Mac
AIahon will summon NJ Garnbetta, aud. in the event
of his refusing to form a Cabinet, President Mac
Mahon will resign. On the other hand it is believed
by some that if NJ Gambetta shall refuse to form q
Cabinet President MacMahon will not resign. but will
request NJ Dufaure to form q Ministry It is
pointed out however in parliamentary circles, that
according to strict parliamentary rules there be
other President Of the Council than NJ. Gambetta
since he, at the present moment. practically holds
the post. In Spite however of the language of the
republican journals and the generally prevailing i'm
preston there is somewhat strong belief. in we'll
