May The new ministry is gazetted as follows: The Due dc Broglle, President of the Council and Minuter of Justice; M. Jc Fourton, Minister of the Interior; M. Eugene Callioux, Minister of Finance; X. Farts, Minister of Public Works; Viscount de Meux, Minister of Agriculture; M. Brunei, MinWer of Public Instruction: H.

Berthaul, Minister of War; tbe Due de Cazes, Minister of Foreign Affaires. Tbe Due de Gazes received all the ambassadors yesterday. He found amour them a most unfavorable impression. Not one approved wliat had pasted, although some, perhaps, professed little sympathy for the Republican system. On all hands it was Mt certain that the public opinion of Europe would be painfully struck.

The Broglle ministry was appointed in fulfillment of a threat uttered President MacMahon that, If tbe Left piased their order of the day, which they did adopt yesterday, declaring that the Chamber will only place confidence in a cabinet free to act, and resolved to govern in accordance with principles, which alone can aecure order and prosperity, he would Immediately form a ministry from the Bight. Relative to H. Garabetta's speech in Chamber of Deputies yesterday, a correspondent says: 'Hover did the chief of the Radical party display greater or more overpowering eloquence; never did he obtain such applause-- the Right maintaining atilentand dismayed attitude. Only.from having heard thia speech and being at the scene could any one understand liow much earnest- nets of. tbe situation added.

It is universally supposed that M. fall, is the result of an Ultramontane intrigue. If this should prove the case, the effect.

upon the relations between France and Germany may be very grave. It ia an exceedingly hazardous experiment for the Right at Versailles to begin such a movement pending tbe adoption of important military measures by the German government. This opinion is publicly expretsed hcra with very little reserve. i The second edition of the Timts his a Paris dispatch stating that the Dae de Cazes will accept the Foreign Ofllcc, and Vice Admiral Garnaul will be appointed Minister of Marine. It is presumed that the Chamber of DeDuties to-day will reply by a vote of defiance, which may lead to a prorogation and dissolution, if the consent, of the Sen-' ate can be obtained.

A dispatch from Versailles says a message from President MacMahon has juttheenjead in both chambers. The president explains that he scrupulously confided to constitution. The Du- faure and Simon, cabinets were chosen In accordance with the majority of the Chamber, but they were unable to unite sufficient support to guarantee -good' lovernment The president continues: I could not make a further step in the same path without making an appeal to the factions, which desire modi- Ication of our institutions, and my consciousness of patriotism docs not permit roe to associate myself with the iriumph of ttose ideas, which can only result in disorder and in the humiliation of France. As long as I retain, tha depository pf power I shall use it within legal limits to prevent such results which would the ruin of the country. The triumph of such theories was not con- lemplated when at the last election all ihe candidates availed themselves of my name.

If the country. wera not in- it would reject auch a'con- itruction. I am firmly resolved to re- and maintain the existing institutions until 1880. I might propose modi- Icatloni, but I propose nothing of tho tind. In order to allow emotions to calm I nvite you to suspend sittings one month.

You can then discuss the oud- ret; meantime we shall maintain the subtle peace, suffer nothing at home -to compromise it, and notwithstanding tbe agitations in a portion of Europe, I am confident we shall maintain it to our good relations with all powers and our policy of neutrality and abstention. On this point all parties are agreed. The nsw, cabinet thinks like the old. If any imprudence and utterance on tbe part of tte press iiestcns compromise the concord we all desire, I ahall repress it by legal means. To prevent thw, however, I appeal to that patriotism which is iackingin no class in France.

PjuuvMay Uneasiness prevails among the supporters of the new ministry. It is feared that dissolution would narrow the issue to MacMahon and Gambctta, and that the country would declare for Gambetta. The bu- reaux of the Left have decided to pro- an order of the day, declaring that the Chamber is solicitous for the maintenance of peace abroad and order at home, but the Cabinet under the Due dcBroglie possesses neither the confidence of the Chamber nor of the nation. The extreme Right of the Senate held a meeting to-day, and resolved to preserve an expectant attitude and demand from the government the first place a change of the pre- fectoral staff. IOKDON, May The Tunes, in a leading article commenting on the situation in 1 tne Gnd ttlc lft may even strengthen the republic, i they display a command of temper ind respect for tha Jaw.

A single riol the street might do irreparable mischief by giving a pretext for display of military rigor. IIw.Tima Paris correspondent says that thoeewho have brought about the crisii are neither engaged in an Orlean- sls nor Legitimist conspiracy not even jn an anti-Republican conspiracy.

P.utM, May MinUtry Worship, which was separated from the Ministry ol Justice whsn M. Simon was appointed, is now again aaso- ciatccl with it.

Gen. Btrthaul provi sionally administers the duties of the Ministry of Marine as well as of War. President MacMahon bag written to the Due dc as follows: Circumstances not permit to entrust power to the late cabinet, of which you formec a part, and I wish to be well understood, however, that I intend to maintain, with foreign powers the relations of friendship and confidence irhich you have been able to establish. Nothing must be done to impair the relations and nolhiog muit be changed in the foreign policy you so ably and worthily represent. I appeal to your acd beg you to remain in the post to which I called you three yeais Hgo, so long as you may not relinquish it without prejudice Lo the public welfare.

Both houses adjourned amid great tumult. Meetings arc progressing in Paris VEHSAIH.ES, May the Chamber of Deputies, when M. De Fourton, tbe new Minister of the Interior, mounted the tribune to read President MacMahon's message, an uproar arose from the Left, lixny ironical exclamations were used. One memberihouted, "To the pillory." Paul de CaEsogaac retorted, Down with the factious minority." After message had been read M. Gambetta tried to speak, but was prevented by shouts from the Right, some exclaiming "'Down with the Tke scene was most tumultoup.

M. Grevy, the President of the Chamber, decided that tbe message having been read, no debate was possible until the house reassembled. The future must be awaited with prudence, firmness and confidence. Tho House then adjourned, the members shouting ViveJa Republique." In the Senate ascended tribune. The president announced that the government wished to address the Senate.

animated discussion ensued as to who should speak. Ultimately the Duke de Broglic, the new President of the Council of Ministers, communicated President MacMahon's message. The de Granclien and M. Jules Simon both tried to speak, but dc Broglieexclaimed, "So- iody can speak; the sitting is adjourned." M. Tolain retorted: The president and not the Dukti de Broglie has to direct the debates." M.

Simon began: "I am obliged, to rny great regret," when the Duke de Broglie interrupted, saying: "All now spoken is illegal." The president then told M. Jules Simon that President MacMahon had e-- ercisedhis rights; his decree must be obeyed. M. Simon then left tha tribune under protest. S'' M.

Barnard shouted: "The country will judge you." The senate then adjourned amid a tumult. Nearly all the former react! on- tionary. prefects were in the lobbies awaiting the new Minister of Interior. A meeting of tbe Left took place at Paris to-night, and M. Marcent, a former Minister of the was He said the composition of new revealed intcn- calculated to inspire the nation with legitimate distrust, because men arc returned to power who on-the 21th of May, 1873, undertook to restore the monarchy.

The meeting of Left udopted a mani- fcnto to the nation commencing: The decree'assailing your representatives is the first act of the ministry ef a combat which presumes to bold the will of' France in check. The President's message displays a desire to dissolve the chamber. The cabinet, which had not lost.its majority, has been dismissed without discussion. The aew ministry, feeling that if they allowed the Parliament freedom of speech, they would immediately fall 'from power, have prevented our expressing reprobation of their proceedings from the tribune. Consequently our first thought is to turn towards you and say that tbe men -now-again assuming power will again prove themselves powerless.

France desires the It concludes: Dear this trial will not last long. In five months at the latest France will be able to speak out. We are sure the republic will issue from the voting urns stronger than ever: By-gone parties will' be vanquished, and France be able to view the future with confidence and serenity. The Republican papers continue to express the greatest indignation against toe new miniutry. A general dismissal of Republican functionaries and stroog measures against Radical papers are expected.

A hundred Senators of Leftjnet here to-night. Victor Hugo protested against distubance of. the tranquillity, especially at the moment when danger threatened from abroad. Tbo meeting finally drew up a protest against the system of tactics which prevented liberty of discussion. HELIGUOUS INTELLIGENCE.

THE Inspector of Mines in Wiles recites in an official report the various expedients adopted to effect the release of the miners recently imprisoned in the Tynewidd pit. At first two divers attempted to reach them, but failed; owing to the long distance, 2GO yards, md the great obstacles met with. During tbe next few days nothing but pumping wai attempted.

That pita alio failed, as thuy could not make the doors sufficiently close. Tbe next Idea was to thin barrier of coal to five or six feet, and bore three loles through it, with a view of supplying the men with food. Owing to itc great pressure of air in the holes they could not pass anything through, that failed.

The engineers and knew that tbe water, which wai cept back by the compreawd air. was stawalaf from fear to five feet above the Tke leading engineer sug- tint the three holes which.Md bond through and plugged should te opened, aod the air allowed; to from' impriaoncd men was', to tbe same prewnre as the air with them. He Minted out.that as the air was iarged the water would riss, and be -men not extricated in sufficient time, they would be drowned. As tbo water could not be pumped out within two or three days, and as the were dying, the engineers adopted plan.

As soon as they opened the iolei and allowed the air to escape the water began to rise, aod th: men told hem that they would soon be The engineers- kept asklnjr them if. the waUr was still rising, and the reply in- was "Yea." The air being sufficiently relieved, they pnt the col- lieri on to" cut away the nve or six ok: coal, which took about two hours llo accomplish. During the whole of that time the imprisoned men continued Ib call to them in the'moat pitiful tomts hat they wonM be and they also tried to the holes.

Edt, Jfetn-- Since tbe arrest of Bill RoberUoa, a cousin of John Wesley Hardin, Olccy and the Redding crowd, four in number (ail prisoners belonging to Coleoian, county), it intimated and frtely talked about upon our streets that an attempt would be made to rescue the prisoners.

The majority of our citizens paid but little, if any, attention tho rumor, resting in perfect case, no doubt believing such an attempt to be beyond all reason. TOE RUMOIt YlRimD. Yesterday morning a number of men came into town who pretended to be cattle men, and that they had a herd on the i drive," which a very plausible story, ind they were not impeded in the least. Immediately after dinner some person hitched a number of horses to the rack in front of the jail and some on the west side of the building, which was noticed only by a ex of the citizens. About 3.30 o'clock four men went Into tbe sheriff's ofllcc, which is immediately in -froat of the jail, and asked the Sheriff if the County Clerk was present to which he answered in the affirmative.

They them asked to see the Record of and Brands," which Mr. Ford very politely placed before them for their inspection. Shortly after this the Sheriff suspected something wrong from their maneuvers, and just about that time one of the party, who had been playing off cripple, confronted the sheriff with two six- shooters, and -said, wkh a thundering oath, Give up the keys!" The county clerk and the sheriff's clerk, Mr. G. Allen, were covered br four more pistols, threatening their lives and demanding the sheriff to "give up the keys," or else receive the contents of In order to detain them as long possible so that the citizens might have a chance to secure the sheriff told them that he had not the keys that J.

D. Burns, deputy, had them, to which they answered, Issue an order for him, quick!" But while this was going on ihoy had two mctt on the outside one at each comer of tbe building in front-- who kept everybody at bay. The sentinel on the southeast corner of the building then commanded those inside: "Knock him down and take tbe keya away from him," which was immediately followed by the other sentinel on tho southwest corner, who exclaimed: "Hurry up, boys, we arc in danger." The party on the inside then commenced work in earnest, they punched the sheriff with their cocked pistols, who was forced to produce Jjc -which he had in his pocket. He was at once ordered open the doors of the jail and the iron cages and turn'thc prisoners loose; as soon as this -was done the prisoners were furnished with arms, taking along a Winchester 'gun belonging to the sheriff, and then they made their exit. Citizens could be Been run.nina;' in every dircctiou in search for arms, while the greatest excitement-prevailed.

Only four out of the eleven prisoners confined in ourcouoty jail succeeded in making their escape. They jumped on some of the horses not their own -which were hitched near by. As they started offl they gave a yell, when the sheriff commenced firing through tbe windows, and the county clerk ran out- and gave them ITVO or three rounds," wliich "waa returned, by tbo retreating party, but without harm to cither side, save a horse, which was shot in the neck. The sheriff, with some right or ten others, at once started in pursuit, and them about two miles, where they met Mr. who informed them.

that he had met the desperadoes and that they numbered between fifteen and twenty men, well armed. The sheriff's party then concluded to return homo as the other party outnumbered them, and were of the most desperate characters in the State. TEKSONS IDENTIFIED. The following arc the names Of those were identified as being with the crowd who released the prisoners: John Wesley Hardin, for -whom there Is if 5000 reward murderer of the deputy sheriff of Burnet county; Caldwcll, who had been acting tne spy, and one of the Waldrop boys. There is a formidable party organized in Coleman county, wbo make their headquarters near the Santa Anna mountain, composed of tbe following parties: the Taylor and Hardin party of DeWitt county, and the desperadoes of Mason, Llano and Burnet counties, making in all about 100 to 130 men strong.

The sheriff's party of Coleman coun-f ty numbers nearlv 200 strong. They have been trying to execute the law by arresting desperadoes and cattle thieves and bringing them to this place for safe keeping, but since the delivery, I opine, there will be. but very few, if any, dealt with according to law. TUB An hour after the Jail delivery the wind commenced blowing frcm the west, accompanied with rain and hail, which continued to Increase until our streets were one sheet of water. About half past four o'clock the wind shifted' from northwest to north and then suddenly to the ensl, and with such violence as never was known before.

The black clouds above and the shreik- ing of the winds was not the pleasant- est or sound one would like to have heard. Fences, signs and small houses flattened to the ground. The sun rose bright and clear and the damaje done during yesterday afternoon, could bo easily ascertained. TOE first races of the South Carolina Regatta Association. this year came off at Charleston on the 10th.

There were thres good races. Nobody grumbles at the prospect of dullir politics and livelier business. SPECIAL, NOTICE.
