OWN CORIUMPONDECT.  PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.  There is much talk to-day of the infusion of a great deal of new blood into the ministry. M. Cucheval Charigny says in the Presse that the dissatisfaction in the country, which he admits prevailed momentarily after January 19, arose from the fact that most of the old ministers remained in office. The public hesitated to believe in the sincerity of newly-professed principles so long as the carrying out of them was not confided to new men. The Presse does not hesitate to characterise the men whom the Emperor selected as his servants sixteen years ago because they belonged to the party of order and rallied to Napoleoniam, as now old fogies who have played their game out. The Presse proclaims the Emperor as the " head of the liberal party ;" and if the men who but yesterday opposed all that the Emperor now concedes cannot bring themselves frankly to accept the responsibility of the ideas of a new generation, which they can hardly be expected to do, they must make way for younger statesmen untrammelled by antecedents such as theirs. I continue to believe that the cause of reform is in a very hopeful state, but I am told that the Emperor has given up the idea of making a second manifesto in the Moniteltr, and will hold in reserve for his speech of Feb. 14 a series of announcements which to a large portion of the public will be agreeable surprises.  The Bourse was firm and more animated than for some time past. The highest quotations of the day were, however, not sustained, and Rente, after marking 69fr. 55c., closed at 69fr. 45c. for cash and 69fr. 41k. for account, with a rise of sc. in each case. Rente has now about regained the point from which the fall commenced three weeks ago ; and the state of speculative account is likely to lead to a great struggle to bring quotations decidedly higher or lower. Mobilier rose I lfr. 25c. ; and Comptoir d'Escompte, 7fr. 50c. ; Credit Fon_ cier fell 2fr. 50c. ; and Italian, sc.  A letter dated Jan. 31, from Madrid, in the Literie, says :—" Three condemned prisoners have been executed to-day. A fourth committed suicide in prison to avoid witnessing the death of his accomplices. The sentence was pronounced by a military court, the men having resisted the civic guard. There is such secrecy in the proceedings here that it was only a few hours before the execution that the Administration of Justice received notice to send the executioner. As was the case yesterday, a compact crowd thronged the place of punishment." Mr. F. Pulaky, writing front Pesth to the New York Tribe, ar, says :—" Baron Beust has been at Teeth to make the acquaintance of the leading men of the Hungarian Diet. He paid visits to and met Counts Apponyi and Sneceen, Baron Selmer, Count Andrassy, Baron Eotviis, Messrs. Lonyay and Sonuisich, and principally that wise, eloquent old man, Desk ; but it does not seem that he could have felt happy among the.n. lie saw that they were men not so easily to be trifled with as the Austrian members, and gave up all hopes of coming to terms with them without a pressure. That pressure is to be exercised by the Austrian parliament, which is to be called together on the 25th of February, but which, instead of coercing the Hungarians, will probably throw out the present ministers. Some Hungarian exiles have got permission to return to their country, among them Bishop Michael Horvath, the historian, but no generalamnesty is given or will be given. The system of half measures is still paramount at Vienna, and it is exactly that system which ruins empires. Without the rule of complete liberty, nobody can save the Austrian monarchy. We thought Bengt understood that truism, but it seems he, too, is caught in the meshes of the traditional policy of Austria."
