CORRESPONDENCE FROA PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Tuesday Evening
The 3loniteur, in its official part, announces tl
the Emperor has received the litter by which the
King of the Belgians notifies to his Imperial Ma-
jesty the marriage of his brother, the Prince Philippe
Eugene-Ferdinand-Marie-Clement- Bandonin-Leo-
pold-George, Count of Flanders, with her Highness
Madame the Princess Marie Louise-Alexandrine
Caroline du Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen. (Royal
personages seem rather tardy in their correspondence,
but when they do write, they are very particular,
at least in regard to names.) Acknowledgment is
also officially made of a similar letter from the
Princess announcing her marriage with the Count
de Flandre.
The non-official part of the Ttloniteur states that,
by order of the Emperor, the Minister of War,
has just adopted a regulation, upon the proposition
of the commission on the dotation of the army,
according to which the price for exoneration from
service for the year 1867 is reduced from 3,000 f. to
2,500 f.

A camp of instruction is about to be formed at
Bruck, on the Leitha, on the confines of Hungary,
and a part of the garrison of Vienna has received
orders to march to that locality. The number of

surround that capital with a number of
forts, at least 40. They will be connected by cir-
cular trenches, but there will not be a continuous
entrenched circular wall.
A despatch has been received in P • aris announc-
ing the return of the Queen of Denmark to Copen-
hagen from London.
The Imperial Commission, which has
displayed
great activity in arranging everything
to increase
the attraction and interest of the great Exhibition,
has made excellent regulations
That body is composed of 553 sergents de ville and
52 detective police in plain clothes. They do their
duty in conformity with the advice of T alleyrand
to his diplomatic agents not to " display too much
zeal," so that the public are protected, but not
annoyed. The detectives arc men whose peculiar
talents arc of the first water, and are perfectly
acquainted with all the various. modes of extracting
valuables from people's pockets. If there were to
be a general competition for prizes for the most
expert thieves these agents would be very com-
petent jurynten. The body is commanded by 29
brigadiers and sub-brigadiers. In addition, 110
Gardes deParis, under the command of a lieutenant,
came to the Exhibition. The two posts arc at the
Ports de l'Ecole Militaire and Jena, wheresand is
accommodation for from 15 to 20 gue, a
separate place for women. Each post contains
42 beds for the police agents. No one is allowed
to enter the Palace after six in the evening, when
the drums beat and the police see that all the visitors
leave it. The arrangements are such that there is
no hurry, confusion, or inconvenience. The park
is cleared at midnight in the same manner. Thirty-
two police officers pass the night in the park.
During the day they occupy the same points and
are very assiduous in giving any information or
assistance to visitors. Their instructions are to be
as polite as possible, but they must obey orders
with much strictness. It is said that there have
been only six attempts at robbery, which were in-
stantly prevented. The number of pickpockets
who effected their object has been only 21. If this
course of honesty be persevered in, we shall arrive
in Paris at the same happy state as in England,
where, according to a Freitea writer, thieves are so
rare that the authorities are obliged to offer a' re-
ward for them.
The Society for the Encouragement of National
Industry will hold a meeting every Friday evening
at their office in the Rue Bonaparte during the time
of the Exhibition. At dick last meeting some in-
teresting communications were read from M.
Berard, Professor of Chemistry at the Faculty of
Sciences, and from other pvofes.sors. These com-
munications were accompanied by an explanation
in regard to various articles of art, jewellery in
aluminium or bronze, crystal, and flint glass. A
new process for lighting by gas was also under con-
sideration.
The Turkish portion of the Exhibition is pecu-
liarly worth attention. Turkey earpeta have bad
