dispatch from Paris saws: at is
hardly possible to oYerrate the dangerous
character the Ministerial crisis has as
sumed. There were three Cabinet coun-
ellis on Tuesday when the news came that
the special committee showed a majority
against the government. Gen. BillOt.
Minister of War, and Admiral ,Jaurregni,
berry, Minister Of Marine, have again re-
signed. President Grevy urged them not
to resign. He said You are soldier
and you are sailor. am quite sure YOU
would never desert your posts under fire;
but, If you retire now and leave me with
out Cabinet, that would be desertion.'n
Another dispatch saws: ''The Duolerc
cal panic is unabated and fund holders are
throwing their stocks ON the market. The
want OF guiding star is miserablv felt.
The possibility of a military prOnOuncia-
mentO is freely talked of throughout the
bOuTgeOiSie class. There is a reaction
against the regime of the doctors and
journalists and yearning for the saving
sword. 1t is certain that the Chambers
will adopt nj. Floquet's proposal. Gam

LONDON, Jan. 24.-The Times, in s lead
ing editorial this morning ON the recent
events IN France, says: "TheYNe can he

little resembling Indispensable genius as
NJ. DucIerc."
Eugene has arrived in London. A cores
pondent telegraphs that sit is impossible
to say yet whether this is in consequence
OF direct lntimatiOn from the French
Government, as is stated, or as a sten
taken at the persuasion of her friends, ali
OF whom are grieved by her imprudent
action. Her coming was the result of no
deeply laid scheme. After hearing of the
arrest of Prince Napoleon she teIe-
graphed to NJ. Rouher that she was
coming with some attendants.
She asked to have the same
rooms as those that had been occupied bv
her husband in 1S4S. This last was the
only point of any political Significance in
the whole affair, and but for it the state
ment of her friends that she was called to
Paris to consult an Oculist would have
been credited. During her stay here she
has been seen but by few leading people.
"Ihe Cabinet can certainlyonly continue
III office two or three DAYS. During the
excitement concerning the expulsion of
the pretenders Prince Napoleon seems In
be entirely lost sight Of. One would think
the Orleans Princes were the only persons
affected by the proposals of the govern
ment."
A press dispatch to the Globe this evar-
ing says a crowd assembled at the Hotel
De Rhine to witness the departure of the
Empress Eugenie, and greeted her with
marks OF sympathy. A private message
had been conveyed to the
eX-Empress by the Grand Duke
Constantine from President Grevy to the
enect that her presence in Paris was not
desirahle. The Orleans Princes agree to
thelr expulsion in order to prevent minis
terial dislocations. The latter statement
is probably not true.

commenting on the report that all tke
Ministers except NJ. Duclerc. General
Blllot and Admiral Jaurreguiberry had
resigned, says that the succeeding Minis
ters appear to be in favor of Welding to
the demands OF the Radicals and Irrecon-
oilables. If this is so, NJ, Duclerc
supported by General Rillot and Admiral
Jaurreguiberry, may form new and ener-
getlc Cabinet, which, if beaten i'm the
Chamber, may dissolve and appeal to the
country. In the event of a general cleo

MN. Duclerc, Falliers, Deves and RiJ-

the Committee on Bills, relative to the
question OF the expulsion Of the Orleans
trlnces. NJ. Duclero stated that he con-

doned in parliamentary circles.
The Temps maintains that the disquiet-
ude, which exists throughout the country
does not arise from the abandonment Of
the policy Of reserve hitherto observed bv
the Princes of former dynasties out from
fear revived by the recent Incidents that
the republican regime is incompatibIe
with stability of any kind. The TENNIS

coolness and directing power, and 'ex-
