Admiral ROUSSIN has refused to accept the Ministry of Marine
; Which department is therefore confided to the care of an obscure Admiral, named JACOB,—supposed to be an obsequious tool of the real First Lord of the Admiralty, the King. The Chamber of Deputies adjourned on Tuesday sine die; and will probably be soon dissolved. Before its adjournment, the Deputies rejected, by ballot (the numbers being 189 and 109), the ensemble of a law for granting a million of francs for the relief of the Lyonnese sufferers, every separate clause of which they had passed by a large majority. This mean-spirited conduct is in every way worthy of the men who compose the majority of the French Chambers.
