The - question of the French Ministry, which has been so

long agitated. is for the present settled. The following is the list of the Cabinet, as given in the Royal ordinances :— LAFITTE 1 Minister of Finance and President

of the Council.

DUPONT DE L'EURB .. Justice. GERARD.. War.

MAIsoN Foreign Affairs.

MONTALIVET.. Interior.

Meitn.riON .. Public Instruction. SEBASTIAN! .. Marine. In adverting to this subject last week, we substituted for the name of M. LAFirrs the name of his predecessor in the chair of the. Chamber of Deputies, N. CA.SIMIR PERIcqat. %atom was one of the late Ministry. The parties now in power belong more especially to the " Left" than those who have gone out—to that class of politicians who deem it their duty to follow up the Revo- lution. The late Ministers were accused of limiting their views of reform to the mere dismissal of King CHARLES, and to the trial, not to the punishment, of his advisers. The present men are re- presented as desirous of providing for the future, as well as of vindicating the past—they wish, while perfectly content with King LOUIS PHILIP, and relying most entirely on his patriotism, to take such measures as will for ever prevent his successors from abusing their authority in the way in which CHARLES attempted to abuse his. In fact, it is their object to render France republi- can in all senses except in form. The French are, from past ex- perience, averse to the form of republicanism, but ardently at- tached to its realities. So well is the present Monarch aware of' the people's sentiments on this point, that the first question that he put to those who requested him to accept of the throne was, whether there was any party in the state sufficiently numerous to support a monarchy ; and it was only on the strong assurance that there was such a party, that he accepted of the crown. If events should prove that he had been misled by these representations, LOUIS PHILIP, who is, in his manners, tastes, and opinions—in all but nerve—a plain and simple citizen, would resign the name of King as cheerfully as he took it up. There have been some disturbances at Morbihau, where a per- son has been arrested for shouting "Long live Charles the Tenth T." but in other respects the country is perfectly quiet. There was a grand review of the National Guards on the 31st, which has called forth the warm praises of the King. The Chamber of Deputies met, according to adjournment, on Wednesday. No business but the verification of the returns of the new members was proceeded in. The great doubt that now agitates the public mind, is the degree of support that the new Ministry will receive from the Chamber of Deputies, and whether a dissolution, as has often been proposed, may not be necessary. A few days will determine this question.
