After this, everything seems to have gone as smoothly as
marriage-bells. M. Dufaure was recalled and his terms absolutely agreed to, and the list of colleagues submitted by him accepted. M. Dufaure himself, it is said, takes the Ministry of Justice and Public Worship, with the Presidency of the Council ; M. Wadding- ton, Foreign Affairs ; M. Lon Say, Finance ; M. de Marcere, the Interior ; General Borel, War ; M. Bardoux, Public Instruc- tion ; M. de Freycinet (Gambetta's assistant at Tours), Public Works ; M. Teisserenc de Bort, Commerce ; and Admiral Pothuau, the Navy. A Message was to be read to the Chamber from the Marshal yesterday. And if the character of that Message was as explicit as the composition of the Administration seems to imply, part of the Budget—probably a twelfth part—will be at once voted. M. Pouyer-Quertier deserves a statue of gold. He has drummed a Constitutional idea into a soldier innocent of the meaning of the word 6 Constitution.'
