FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and Sunday. The French Ministry on Saturday tendered their resigna- tion to the President of the Republic, being moved thereto by two events, which occurred in the Assembly, on Friday. The first was the result of the interpellations ad. dressed to the Minister of War by M. Napoleon Bonaparte, on the subject of the order alleged to have been issued to the garrison of Paris, by General Changarnier, which order, or pretended order, appeared in the Patrie, the known organ of the Klysec, and supposed to be personally under the controu) I of the President. The Minister-at-War, it will be seen, de sired that the matter should be postponed, but, in expressing the desire insinuated that such instructions had been issued, and gave it to be plainly understood that Changarnier was to expect no aid from the ministry the postponement, however, was refused, Changarnier himself voting against it, and then Changarnier utterly denied the truth of the statement which had appeared in the above-named paper, and which had been just before endorsed, as it were, by the Minister of War and on his denial, the Assembly voted the order of the day, thus giving him the victory over the ministers. On the same day the election for chairmen of committees for the ensuing quarter took place, when those Questors who had supported M. Yon against MM. Batoche and Carlier, were all elected chairmen of committees, as was General Leflo, who had per- sonally insulted the President of the Republic, by quitting the Elysee, at the commencement of the New Year's Day, snub- bing, and before M. Bonaparte had finished his speech. These events induced the ministry to tender their resignation, 'I he following appears as the premier Paris of the Patrie of Sunday Yesterday, at noon, the ministers assembled in council in the cabinet of the President of the Republic. We believe that we may venture to affirm that the subject of deliberation was the incident which terminated the sitting of Friday. However that may be, on the breaking up of the council, all the mem- bers of the cabinet tendered their resignations, which were, it is said, accepted. A gre: t agitation reigned in the assembly the greater number of the representatives, both in the lob- bies and the Ilall of Conference were engaged in most ani- mated conversations, and made the most opposite conjectures. Many lists have been circulated, but as none of them have^ a character of authenticity, we abstain from mentioning them. It is said that the President sent for M. Abatucci, and ap- plied to him to form a ministry, and that he recommended that overtures should immediately be made to M. Odilon Barrot, but it is said that he has refused to enter the ministry without M. Dufaure. Another rumour is, that M. Leon Fau- cher has been commissioned to form a new ministry, and that he has made it a condition of accepting office, that stringent measures should be adopted against the Legitimatists. The Presse states the following lists were circulated on Sa- turday, as those of the new ministry :— Justice-Odillan Barrot. ltiterior-Leon Faucher. Public Works—Count Daru. Public Instruction—M. Fortoul. Finance—M. Aassy. War—General Regnault deSaint Jean d'Angely. Foreign Affairs- M. de Flavigny. < Agriculture and Commerce—M. Bocher. Marine—M. Romain-Desfosses. A Second List. Justice—M. Abbatucci. Interior—Leon Faucher. Foreign AtTairs-M. de Pcrsigny. Finance—M. Fould. War—General Barguay d'Hilliers M. Carlier has resigned his office of Prefect of police. The Patrie of Sunday denies the truth of General Changar- nier's statement to the assembly on Friday, and publishes, in eitenso, the document to which it referred, which contains the passages which it had quoted. In allusion to this docu- ment, it says, in a postscript,—"Just as we were going to press we received the authorisation to publish the entire text of the general and permanent instruction which was the object of the incident which occurred in the sitting of Friday." This instruction is signed by the General of Brigade Reibell. It is said that the President of the Republic was exceed- ingly anxious to dismiss General Changarnier on Friday even- ing, but that the ministers told him it was then too late. The Ordrt (the organ of the Odilon-Barrot party), declares that it believes the resignation of the ministers is a mere make-believe. The following is the composition of the standing committees of the Legislative Assembly as declared after the election of Saturday:— Bureau. President. Secretary. 1. M. de Laussat Eschasseriaux 2. M. Baze Ladoucette 3. M.dePanat. Cunin-Gridaine 4. M. de Grouchy. Lesperut 5. M. Crouseilhes De Rianccy 6. M. Radoult de Lafosse Ancel 7. M. de Laboulie Paulmier 8. M. Berryer Fremy 9. M. Lepelletier d'Aulnay B. Delessert 10. Count Mole Poujoulat 11. General Leflo .< Quentin Bauchard 12. M. Odillon Barrot Denjoy 13. Admiral Dupetit-Thouars De Bryas 14. M. de Mornay Chapot 15. M. de Keratry Desinaroux We have received the Paris journals of Tuesday The Ministerial crisis still continues, and it is said that the President of the Republic is not at all anxious to terminate it, as he hopes by delay to procure a demonstration from the de- partments in his favour. He insists, it is said, as a sine qua non for admission into his new Cabinet, that the ministers to be appointed shall at once countersign an order for the dismissal of General Changarnier from the command of the garrison of Paris and shall propose a bill for the renewal of the dotation to the Assembly. A Cabinet Council was held on Monday evening, when some of the ministers consented, it is said, to retain office. On this subject we find the following in the Bulletin de Paris :— The report is current that General Changarnicr has been dismissed. The rumour is completely false. It is nearly cer- tain that four only of the ministers will retire, namely—MM. Baroche, Roman-Defosses, Rouher, Bineau, who persist in resigning. It is hoped that General Schramm will consent to retain his portfolio." In the meantime the Assembly is prpparing for the conflict; their tactics are already proclaimed. On the appearance of the decree dismissing General Changarnier from the command of the garrison of Paris, the Assembly, in conformity with the thirty-second article, of the Constitution, which is as follows The National Assembly determines the placeof its sit- tings it fixes the importance of the military forces established for its safety, and it disposes of them'will fix the amount of iqilitary force which it considers necessary to guard itself against a coup d'etat on the part of the President, and will no- minate General Changanier to the command of that force and thus there will be in '.presence of each other the army of the Presideot, commanded by Genera' Harraguayd'Hilliers, and that of the Assembly, commanded by Changarnier. The members of the Mountain have it in their power, by abstain- ing from voting, to prevent the appointment by the Assembly of Changarnier to the command of the troops destined for its protection the Mountain will, however, vote for conferring the command on Changarnier, on condition that the Assembly, shall immediately thereafter order the impeachment of the President and his ministers. M. Odilon Barrot was sent by the President on Satiuday, and in answer to the request of the latter for advice on the present situation of affairs, M. Odilon Barrot said :— "I have only to repeat what I have often said on former oc- casions. In this country a President ot the Republic has more occasion for a Parliamentary Cabinet, than even a King, because he has not, like a King, the right to dissolve the na tional representative Asssembty. It is said that MM. de Broglie and Mole have declared in favour of the prolongation of the powers of the President. UNITED STATES. The America, Captain Leitch, arrived at Liverpool, yester- day afternoon, with dates from Boston to the 26th, and Halifax 27th ult. Her day of sailing from Boston was h-ed for the 25th, but she was detained till two o'clock of the morning of the 26th. She brings .15,000 dollars. Not the least interesting portion of the mail s news is that of the Forefather's Day" Celebration, at which Daniel Webster and Sir Henry Bulwer spoke. The celebration was in the shape of a dinner, which was given at Astor House, and the occasion the anniversary of the New England Society. In anwer to the toast of "The Constitution and the Union and their chief defenders." the Hon. Daniel Webster rose, and made a speech, which, as well as one from Sir H. Bulwer, were raptuously received. New York has been visited by a severe stoim, to which reference was made by Mr. Webster in us speech. On the 22nd. it commenced and lasted some time, ooing much damage-flooding wharves and damaging many ships. The sloop Talma (says the New 1 ork■ Enquirer), dragged her anchors, aod is now ashore alongside the Battery wall. She has received considerable damage, and if the wind con- tinues, will be a complete wreck. There were four men on board, who landed in safety. The sh.p Niagara Captain Smith, from Liverpool, lying at anchor at the pi ias cut or carried away her fore and mainmasts, and her mizen- topmast is also gone. A sloop named the Good Return, of Greenport, was discovered tossing upon the waves in the North River, paitially a wreck, and without any person on board to command her. A large number of vessels lying at different wharves along the North River, were more or less damaged by chafing against each other and the docks. A block of new buildings in process of erection on Madison Avenue were blown down. In Brooklyn, eight 11 ame buildings in progress of erection, on the corner of Smith and Mill street, weie blown down—not a stick lelt standing. The subject of a uniform system of cheap postage had been under discussion in the House of Representatives, but no action had been taken as yet. No important business has been transacted in either House. Mr. Webster's reply had been sent to the Austrian minister, and was soon to be called for in the Senate. The charge ap- pointed to Austiia left Washington without his commission, and the diplomatic relations between the two countries are thus left in a state of suspense. A court martial was in session at Washington for the tiial of Commander Jones, of the United States navy, for alleged frauds on the government while he was in command on the Pacific station, and for scandalous conduct and oppression.
