SATURDAY NIGHT.
The Paris papers of Thursday state, that up to that time all attempts to form an Administration had tidied. The thllowing is the Morning Chronicle's aeconut of the actual position of affairs.
"Our latest Paris ace ts bring tidings of what the French call a titian's. Soult refuses to take office with Titters, and Thiers without Souk. The Due de Broglie refuses to form a Ministry without Tillers, and Villemain refuses to enter Without the Due de Broglie. 31. ( taizot says he cannot form a Ministry without 31. Thiers or General Jacquentinot ; ii hilst neither will grant him terms. Si. llumann will have nothing to say to M. Barrot, nor M. .Dupin to M. (1 aizot. M. Barrot says that 31. Thiers leans too much to the right ; 31. Pasiy and 51. Dufauretimr that he leans too much to the left. There is one personage who could with a word reconcile these jarring elements; but he re- floes to speak that word, enjoying the dissension he himself has createui with a feeling of triumph—the more delicious, because not unaccompanied with danger."
The Paris Gazette states, that 60 failures, for the aggregate sum of SIX millions of francs, were announced in France on one day—the 22d instant.
The Government papers having contradicted a report that addi- tional pieces of cannon had been brought into Paris, some correspon- dents of the .tiV,'../e declare, that they had seen six field-pieces taken to the barracks in the Faubourg du Temple, at an early hour of the morn- ing. The Parisians are represented as " weary and indignant " at the tricks and intrigues which the Ministerial embarrassments had occa- sioned.
The Paris correspondent of the Coupler says- " What gives a dangerous turn to thing,t, is the fact of there being upwards of twelve thousand workmen without employment. The worffing classes of' Paris won't starve. When a Government cannot give them thod, they only think of upsetting it. The general opinion is, that we shall have an insur- rectionary attempt, if the present crisis last much longer. The military au- thorities of Paris are on the gni rive. engaged in making preparations fur sup- pressing instantly- any disturbances that limy arise."
A letter from Toulon, in the Cesenosa., states that a large squadron would be assembled at that port, ostensibly for exercise, but really des- tined for the Levant. It would probably consist of ten ships of the fbur frigates, and five or six corvettes and brigs; to be commanded by Admiral Rosamel.
