We learn by the Paris papers of Thursday, that the-
Chamber of Peers adopted on Wednesday an amendment moved by M. Beugnot to the first article of the Colonial Bill, which entitles slaves hereafter to demand one day per week to work on their own account, in lieu of the food allowed to them by their masters.
"Many rumours," says the Paris correspondent of the Morning Chronicle, " were circulated on Thursday at the Chamber of Deputies' as to an impending modification of the Cabinet. Among others, it was stated that negotiations had been going on for some time between the Due De Broglie and the Ministry; and that it was now arranged that the noble Duke &Mild occupy a seat in the Cabinet immediately after his return from London. The truth of this rumour is by no means improbable. M. Guizot has long been wishful to have the Due Do Broglie as a colleague; but the difficulty of finding an office suitable to his dignity has always prevented an arrangement.' Another rumour is, that M. Thiers ra about to malesce with M. Guizot. This is founded on their having met at the house of a private friend last week; but that encounter does not appear to have any public significancy.
