The new French Ministry, as finally arranged, indicates a con-
siderable dislocation of parties. It would appear that the Duc do Broglie has le.41 dewa as his programme the • prolongation of the Provisoirsvand as the two representatives of the Extreme Right in hie Cabinet—MM. &mon' and De la Bonillerie—refused to accept it, he declared himself unable to form a Government. Marshal MacMahon therefore declared that they must go, and that they must be replaced by M. de Larcy and M. Fourtou, of the Right Centre, "if they resigned their places next morning." The Cabinet, therefore, is without Legitimists, and though one Left-Centre man, M. Fourtou, is included, is considered a Right- Centre or moderate Monarchical Government. M. do Broglie, however, while retaining the Premiership, accepts the Home Office, —transferring foreign policy to the Duc Decazes,—and has already announced that he shall bring in Bills for enabling Government to nominate all Maires for a time, and a Press law which is to be "identical with the Press law under a state of siege." In other words, the General in command can suppress any disagreeable paper at once and without notice. This is utter despotism, and ought to be resisted by the Left Centre, but will not be, pluck appa- rently having gone out of all moderate parties. The Legitimista resist, and the Left abstains, but all others vote as they are bid.
