The Times correspondent of this morning rests the permanence of
the French Ministry on the evacuation of Antwerp and the ex- pulsion of the Dutchess DE BERRI,—if this latter event, of which we have heard so often, have not already taken place. According to the same authority, TALLEYRAND is the bearer of a message to the Conference, in which it is proposed, that while England and France take possession of Antwerp, in order to re- store it to LEOPOLD, Prussia shall take possession of Venloo, in order to restore it to WILLIAM,—that is, because an army is re- quired in order to compel WILLIAM IO do what he will not do un- compelled, an army must be employed to compel LEOPOLD to do what he is willing, and ready to do. We see nothing in this ar- rangement but another delay or a war. It is now admitted in Paris, that failing the present Ministry, no other can be formed, unless from the Movement party, and that the accession of ODILLON BARROT would he the necessary conse- quence of SOULT'S going out. The case of DUPIN and his party is considered hopeless.
