A Change tn t French Si The semi official announcement of the re signation of the members of the De Broglie cabinet ig at the present juncture as unex- pected as it is satisfactory. It was predicted that this course would be taken by them at some time before the chamber assembled, but after this event, when combativeness had been aroused by the cutting invective of the republicans, and De Broglie had declared that the government would not submit to the proposed inquiry of the Lft tto election abuses, it was thought that the ministry would persist in its policy of resistance to the bitter end. But the bitter end has come in an uplooked for shape,and MacMahon must supply himself with new advisers. Tne immediate cause of this change of pianon the part of the cabinet is probably the stand taken by M. Bocher and the constitutional group. Their votes are necessary to the con- trol of the Senate. and they seem to have at last convinced the ministry that they will not permit a second dis: lon of the Cham- ber nor uphold any government in opposi- tion to tbe popular will. Their firmness in this decision has enabled France to pass this week's crisis In safety. If the Chamber were dissolved, as De Bre ot to that of any individual. | be, and this body should resist the dissolu- | tion, as insinuated by Gambetta, the outlos would, Indeed, be gloomy.

We regret to see this apprehension confirmed by a statement in the Springfield (Mass.)
