The elestric ‘elegrapb, in all probability, transmited the intelli- gence that the first stadium bad been passed, and that Louis Napoleon had smcceeded in forming a new ainistry, or, rather, in replastering up the old one; that General Changarnier, had been dismissed from his command.and that the greatest excitement prevailed as to the measures likely to be adopted by the Legis- lative Assembly, which body appointed Changarnier. Atter restating, to avoid mistakes, the names of the vafuisters, I will take up the thread of events where I broke off in my last. The following are the members of the new Cabinet M. Baroche—Interlor, KM, Fould—Finances, M. Rouher—Justice. M., de Parieu—Public Instruction: The above were members of the late Cabinet, who, after having resigned, were reinstated in their former offices. The new ministers are:— M. Drouyn de L’Huys, Minister of Foreign Affairs, in of General de la Litte, d’Angely, Minister of Wi place of General Schramm M. Theodore Ducos, Minister of Mart \d Colo- M. Mague, Minister of Public Works, in place of | il, Bineas M. Bonjean, Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, tn place of M’ Dumas. The Moniteur published the official decree depriving C nier of his command. Louis Napoleon has sison greatly in the estimation of many, by this bold act. He stoutly refused to listen to the adverse counsel of all the leading men of France. He felt that Chengernier wae a sort of gensdarme, appointed by the Anvembly to keep him in awe, and he resolved, coitte of coite, to get rid of him. Changarnior has already left his quarters at the Tuileries, in obedience to the deoree issued in virtue of the terms of an article in the constitusipn, which empowors the President to dis- niet subaleerns, As wight have been expected, this event created no omall sensation. Much agitation was visible in the Assembly ov Friday; the new ministers were present, and the tribunes were crowded. M.deRémusat de- manded explanations trom the ministry as to the cause of their resiguation, and thought that if the oxplanations of the ministry did not prove satisfactory, the Assembly ought to withdraw to its bureaux, and appoint s committee to propose resolutions to the | Aseembly on the grave conjuncture.

He hoped the Assembly would well consider before it voted the Proposition. I shall not trouble you with the speeches, pro and con, of pxinpocient members. M.

The Assembly had the rigat to im he did not conform in his aolley to the wishes of the majority. M. Baroche alluded to the noble language of st message of Louis Napoleon, and defended the poles of the government. win honorable member (M. Trauchere) exclaimed that‘ the General had been dis- missed because he was an obstacle!” * To what, sir 2)” ine terrupted the minister, with some warmth—* To allowing the utterance of cries ef Vive VEmpereur.”” Loud cheers Solloued. The minister went on, and was interrupted by a voice, to say that the seditious cries were en- couraged by the ministry. The minister said bis anony- mous interrupter had uttered an odious calumny. M. Charras immediately rose to show it was he who hed spoken. The minister continued. He said General Changaroler was dismissed, not because he opposed the cries at the reviews—not because the Assembly gave bim its confidence—but because it was necessary to place the President of the republic in the plenitude of bis powers. M. de Herke: excl amidet loud applause, that “ that was gross ingratitude.” The minister denied, in the most formal manner, an: tendency om the part of the government towar an imperial restoration; he could say the same for the President, who bad sworn to observe the constitution, M. Jules de Lasteyrie replied to M. Ba- roche, in # speech which caused a desp impression on the Assembly. He stated that the Bonapartist club of the Dix Decembre consisted of 20,000 brigadiers, who might bave under their orders an unlimited number ot eoldiers, and that recompenses had been promised to those who showed activity in the interests of the President. He then aliuded, in severe language, tothe seditious cries of Satory. He praized the acts of the permanent committee, which led to the dissolution of the Club of the Dix Decembre, and to the removal of the Minister ot War, who had tolerated those seditious cries. He said that (ieneral Neumayer had been re- moved from his coramand because he reprimanded an ofticer for allowing his men to give vent to their senti- ments when under arms, In bursday’s (yesterday) sitting, M. de Lasteyrie coi ded his speezh approy- ing of the conduct of the Assembiy. . Flandin supported the ministry, M. Berryer declared that he wasin favor of a yote of severe cen- sure on the ministry.
