Se. The now ministry, have heen chosen from the emembers of the majority of 297, who are in favor of sthe Elysée. The news of this decision producad a «deep sensation in the Legislative Assembly, the enembers of which thought that Louis Napoleon had taken « too sudden resolution, and had also somewhat defied the Assembly in selecting for ministers aacn who had been obliged to resign threo months ago, through the displeasure of the majority. Such was the general opinion on Friday last, when +the meeting wae called to order by Mr. Bodeau, one of the vice-presidents. Mr. Leon Faucher ase nded the tribune, end, amidst greut silence, explained the views of Louis Napoleon in the formation of his ministry. His speech may be found in the reports of the sevsion of the 12th inst. Though the new Minister of the Interior had done his best to soften the situntion, Mr. St, Beuve tried to prove that such a ministry az that chosen by Louta Napoleon could not decently be accepted, for it was composed cof the same men who had been forced to retire on the 18th of January last. He said, with much reason, that, to accept it, would look like a draw- “back on the part of the Assembly; and then he pro- posed to renew the vote of January last. But the | ajority did not think proper to act with so much rity; and they thought it was not prudent to pronounce a sentence which would be interpreted, by many, as a proseription against some particular individuals. ‘The proposition of Mr. De St. Beuve was, therefure, rejected by a majority of 327 votes against 275. Thus the now ministry is organized with the feeble majority of fifty-two votos. This is indeed, very small, and Messrs. Baroche, Faucher, Fould, and their colleagues, aro still in a very awk- warl position. ‘There is no doubt that Louis Napoleon, for a long time, has had the project to recall to the minis- try Messrs. Baroche, Fould, and Rouber. In order toreach his aim, he played that long comody dur ing which the name of Mr. Barrot was put forward asafiag of conciliation. But the dénowement has teken place before it was desired. Tho project was to put off the life of the provisional cabiuet till next month, when the revision of the constitution was to be d Tordie du jour. The cause of that “hasty” determination was the refusal mado by the provi- sional ministry to present a project of a law in which the President takes so much iuterest. It ap- pears that Louis Napoleon’s intention is to demand of the National Aseembly the entire settlement of the salary of Marshal Jerome Bonaparte sinco 1815, when he was ouly a general of division, till 1818, when he was chosen by his nephew to fill the high position of Governor of the Invalids. ‘This demand would, if granted, be the beginuing of all those claims pretended to by the Bovapere family, and also by the President himself. Mr. Lucien Murat, for instance, claims a sum of twenty five millions of francs and the possession of the Elysée. Where would be lodged the President, if ever Mr. Murat is lucky enough to have his part of the pie? In such a state of things the ministers refused | Louis Napoleon, saying that it was “too big a thing” to be laid before the Legislative Assembl, by acabinet which, by his extra parliamentary si- ion, had no power of action upon the Assembly. Will the new mixistry undertake this difficult task, and will Louis succeed? That is the ques- tion, and I think I may answer in the mane. There is already @ sort of misunderstanding among the new ministers, and I am told that Randon is to be replaced as the Minister of War ither by General Aupick or General Rostolan. It is also whispered in political circles that Mr. do Crousheillhes will retire. The ministers of the ex-provisional cabinet have receiveda compensation for their necessary removal, and besides the dignity of the decoration of the » Legion & Honneur, they have, all of them, been re- warded with new situations. Thus, Mr de Royer has H resumed his place of Procureur General of the Court of Appeal of Paris; Mr. de Germiny has been restored | into his recette générale at Rouen, and Mr. Giraut | has been reinstated as mew ber of the General Coun; cil of Public Instruction; Mr. Vaillant is named Go- vernor General of the West Indies, and Mr. Brinier director of the finance de ent of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.‘ Al ell that ends well;” and this motto is quite appropriate to the circum- stances. r Change, it appears, is much & Pordre du jour, and there isa rumor floating through the air that Gen.

Spring has come at last. The trees of our public squares, of the garden of the Tuileries, of the Champs Elysées, and of the Boulevards, are covered with groen foliage, and the air is as pure as in the finest days of the Indian summer in America. We have enjoyed this fine weather for the last cight days; and last night the temperature was s9 warm that we had the sight of a very curious phonomenon, which was a thunder storm, accompanied with inces- tant lightning. This tempest continued for about half an hour, filling our streets with torrents of water. Several of our elevated monuments were shaken b; the violent thunder.

AIT these re were transported to France by St. Louis, the IXth of his name, whon been given to him by Baudouin Il, Emperor of Consisatioople. It is one of the customs of the church to exhibit these relies duriug the Holy Week, avd they are viviled by all the fiddles of the city.

A sort of double match took place on Friday last at the Bois de Boulogno, between two gentlemen riders, Messrs. the Baron of Monperrierand Sir Edmond Stearvan, on which oceasion the French horseman boat the English amateur. The number of spectators was mense, und it was composed of the most fash- able people of the sporting society of Par ‘There was among them the celebrated M’mo How- eof the Elysée, who, though oa tho eve of losing ber life by a fall from a horse about two months ago, nevertheless mounted the samo animal for this occasion. The women, we muit confezs it, are the most daring creatures in the world. Instead of being afraid of danger, one must believe that they are fond of it. ‘The publi ‘dens of Paris, as Mabille and le Chateau dea Mleurs, will s20n'ro-open their gates to the amateurs of the art of Terpsichore. Mr. Mabille, who is the proprietor of these two gardens, has renovated them from the gates to the very cor- ners of these bewitching places of amusement ; and it is said that he has added to the amusements of the dance, the refinement of an excellaat restaura- teur. The first night is announced for Sasucday evening next. ‘The cireus of the Champs Elysées, directed by Mr. Dejean, is also on the eve of beng re-opeaed to the public. The troupe of skilful equestrians, which had formerly at their head the talented Caroline Loyo, who is now in New York, will resume its e: ercises next week. No doubt this place of amuse- ment will be much frequented this season. Mr. Arnault, the lucky manager of the i drome, is making wonderful preparations for his next campaign. It is said that he hss sent to Al- rid an agent, with ordors to fetch with him to Paris a number of camels, horses, aud last, not least, of Arabs, who will offer the public of Paris the spectacle ofthe fantasias of that country. Mr. Arnault is also building another Ln hippodrome at the Barricre du Trone, which will be ready with- in three weeks. Another rendezvous of pleasure, which will be no less frequented by fashion during the coming sea- son, will be, no doubt, the Park of Monceaux, situ- ated at the gates of Paris, and which is the most magnificent country residence of the department. ‘This chateau, belonging to the re Orleans, will be thrown open to the public, and the mana- er, who has rented it, intends giving the public of Paris the most magnificent festivalsever beheld in our great city. lore anon. The theatres of Paris are still much frequented, and are doing an excellent business. At the Grund Opera, Roger, the talented tenor, who was on the eve of leaving for London, took a benefit night, on Saturday last, and offered the pub- lic a series of musical entertainments which were of the first order. Alboni, M'me Ugalde, and the celebrated violinist, Vieux Temps, delighted the diccttanti, and the entertainment ended with a charming comedy performed by the best actors of the Theatre Francais. A new opera, in three acts, the music of which is by Mons. Gounod, was per- formed last night at the Academy of Music, and I nin told that it was very successful. Madame Vi- ardot appeared in that opera, which is entitled “ Sapho,” and personated the heroine. ‘The scenery and costumes are magnificent. At the Italian Opora, the success of M'lle.

The persecution is attributed to the ence of certain secret so- cieties of Chinese.” “A large expedition left Manilla, in the bo- ginning of February, intonding to bring the Suttan of Sooloo to account for insults lately offered to the ish governmont.” ‘Siam dates to the 3d of February had been ro- ceived at Simgapore. Sugar was high, and the coming crop expected to be very small. All the European and American residents were on the point of leaving, for what cause is not stated.” The Free Press gives a very interesting account of the trials to which the crew of a vessel wrecked on the coast of Japan were subjected, before they were permitted to feave the country, illustrating the extreme care taken to preveut any informatioa re- lative to that country being made known :— “On the 3d of February, 1850, the bark Hamont left Hobart Town on a whaling voyage towards tho northwest, and on the 8th, coming in sight of the island of Espirito Santo, three boats went ashore for the purpose of trading, and on their return one of them reported having seen a white woman with the natives. Four boats returned to the shore to inquire for the woman, bu on their approach the natives fled. Next day an attempt was made to obtain intelligence of the woman, which resulted ina quarrel with the natives and the death of oag of them. The vessel left the island without obtain- ing any further intelligence of the woman, and on the 224 of May the ship struck on a reef on the coast of Jupan. Onthe2%h the Japanese came | and carried away the crew, and put them in a house ina village, whors they wore supplied with fish and rice. On the 23d of June a Japanese offi- cial called on them, and gave them somo wine, cakes, and tobacco, and told’them to be contented, and he would soon send them away. On the 2th of July three of the men mado thoir eszape, but they wore pursued and brought back. “On the Ilth of September they were placed on board two junks, which on the Mth were wrooked, after dragging their anchors six miles. After get ting ashore what they could of the wreck, the crow were again locked up, when they were farnishod with rum and provisions. On the 22d they were placed on horseback, with a large cscort of natives, and started for Hydada, which they entered in the | night, every precaution boing taken to prevont their seeing the place. At Hydada, they were put oa board ajunk, and cach one of them placed ia a separate cage, with bars to look through. They ar- rived in the bay of Nangasakai on the 7th of Octo- ber, and here they were takon before the king, still kept under strict surveillance, and on the Sth of December they embarked on board of a Duteg ship, which carried them to Batavia. “ By this account, we fiud that the crew were in the hands of the Japancso from the latter part of May till the beginning of December, during which time they were not permitted to have their liberty, and all because of the fears of that people that a knowledge of their babits and customs would be mado known.’? — Murver at Kinastox, Ca.—Arrest or THE Moxperess.—During the week before last, a most heartless murder was trated near Kingston, (C. W.) A man and » woman, passing as man and wife, under the name of Freeman, had been for some days in the vicinity, boarding at a hotel. ‘The man was taken sick under wry euspicious cir- cumstances, and after an illness of two or three days, suddenly died. The woman, very soon afver his death, sold a horse and buggy belonging to valued at about two hundred dollars, for seventy dollars. The circumstances awakened suspicion of foul play; the woman was arrested, a post mortem examination of the deceased was mide, and strych- nine found in his stomach. On inquiry, it was found that she had, not long before, purchased strychnine at two diflerent places under the pretence of killing rats. On her arrest, about six hundred dollars in moncy had been found in her possession, which she requested to have deposited in the Ogdensburgh Bank, to the credit of William Smith, of Cen.on, in this county. Instead of complying with t quest, the authorities made a deposit of the y with s banker in Kingston, and wrote to olfeess here to ascertain if anytl was known of Wil- liam Smith. On jaquiry, it was found that ten dollars had been deposited to his evedit in tho Ogdensburgh Bank, from Kingston, and on finding him, he stated that he expected a remitinnce of money from his mother, who left him in Marsh, for Chenango county, where, she alleged, she ex- pected to receive monoy. In reply to a questiva to that point, he replied that he did not expect any movey from Kingston. In company with Sherif! Barber, of this county, he weat to Kingston, where he recognized the horse and buggy, which had been sold by the woman, as the property o Mr. Elijeh Pease, of West Potsdam, in this county. This led to the developement of the fullowing cir cumstances:—Llijah Pease, a man 75 years of ag of highly respectable standing aud coanections in West Potedain, but with a mind considerably im- ired by the infirmities of age, having wlved is previous busivess connections, Was anxious to ibe hase a farm, and had proposed to his wile to focate in Canada. This she was unwilling to consent to, and Mr. Pease consequently instituted a search for a farm ia this county. It is sup- d, tbat, on hearing of Smith, who lad been ief ia the death of her husband ton, she having married cond husband, who left her a few mouths a» the marriage, he entered into negotiations with her fur the purchase, und disclosed to her that be had in his possession some $9). ing positive, however, was kaowa, beyond his going from home ® number of times during th winter, #8 he alleged, for the purpose of the nego- tiation.
