CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Thursday Evening.
It appears by further information from Italy,
which may be relied upon, as it has been collected
from official sources, that the battle between the
Papal troops and the Garibaldians, near Monte
Rotondo, was even more serious and sanguinary
than first described. Garibaldi had 10,000 men
under his command, of whom 800 were killed or
wounded. They left in the hands of the Roman
troops 2,000 prisoners, 6,000 guns, and 6 cannon.
The Pontifical troops had 150 men killed or dis-
abled.

Your readers should not place any confidence in
the rumours and insinuations circulated by alarmist
journals, as to differences between the, French and
Italian Cabinets. The result of the impotent
attempt of Garibaldi, and the change in the aspect
of the Roman question is such that directions have
been given by the Government to countenance the
order for the departure of the third division of the
French contingent, which was in readiness at
Toulon to leave at any moment for Civita Vecchia.
The conviction is spreading in Paris that the Roman
difficulty is at an end.
Marshal O'Donnell, Duke of Tetuan,who played
in his time such an important part in war and poli-
tics in Spain, died on Tuesday, at Biarritz, from

typhus fever. He was 59.
There was a Cabinet Council yesterday at St.
Cloud, under the presidency of the Emperor. The
Empress was present at the Council.
Marie Sophie, ex-Queen of Naples, has just em-
barked at Marseilles with the intention of joining
her husband, Francis the Second, who still resides at
Rome.

The Paris papers to-day are remarkably "sober"

in regard to news or even inventions, that being the
orthodox expression where the quantity of news to
be imbibed is small. Failing in this they descant
upon a supposed confusion relative to the exact
name of the locality where the defeat of Garibaldi
occurred. First it was called the affair of Monte
Rotondo ; then it was described as the route of
Tivoli ; now the battle is called the combat of Mon-
tana.

The Emperor of Austria was received with as
much demonstration of affection at Wurtemburg
on his journey homewards as at Strasburg. There
was a grand dinner at the Chateau Royal, and a
gala night at the Opera. Similar demonstrations
were made at Stuttgard.
On the occasion of the recent visit of the Consul-
General and Charge d'Affaires of France at Japan
to the residence of Osaka, the Taikoun went on
board the Admiralty frigate La Guerriere, carrying
the flag of Admiral Roye. Such an act on the
part of a Sovereign of Japan, hitherto unparalleled,
was the occasion of a brilliant reception, in which
the English ships in the roads of Osaka partici-
pated.
Really Royal personages are very tardy in their
correspondence, at least if one may judge from an
official notification in the ilioniteur of to-day.
Most people probably forget when King Otho of
Greece died, it is so long ago, but it appears that it
was only yesterday the Emperor Napoleon received
the letter of the King of Bavaria ratifying the fact
of King Otho's decease.
Although the splendid new opera on the Boule-
vards is in an advanced state, and its fagade even
now presents a majestic appearance, it is believed
that the opening cannot take place until 1870.
Should this be so, it will be a centenary anniversary
of the opening of the opera of the Palais Royal,
which was in 1770. That building was soon after-
wards destroyed by fire.
Another murder has been committed. The crime
was committed at Lous-le-Saulnier, under the fol-
lowing cirumstances :—A young man of 25, named
Laurent Prost, in the employ of Fevelat, a tin-plate
worker, fell in love with his master's daughter, and
on asking permission to marry her was dismissed.
The murderer in a fury went the next day to M.
Fevelat and renewed his solicitation. On meeting
with another refusal he took a revolver from his
pocket and shot M. Fevelat in the chest.
Count Duchatel, formerly Minister of the Interior
under Louis Philippe, has died in Paris after a long
illness which was not supposed to be of a dangerous
character, but death took place very suddenly. The
Count was born on the 19th of February, 1803.
He was a member of the Academy of Moral and
Political Science, free member of the Academy of
Fine Arts, and had the Grand Cross of the Legion
of Honour. The Count leaves two children, Vis-
count Duchatel and the Duchess de la Tremoille.
November is in a fair way of losing its character
for gloom, fog, and suicide. The sun rose cheergy
and brilliantly., and has not been obscured for a
moment all day. The streets of Paris are as dry
and as dusty as in the height of summer, but it
has been peculiarly cold.
The work of demolition at the Exhibition pro-
ceeds with astonishing rapidity and regularity. At
this rate but a very short time will elapse when all
that was of it will be like " the baseless fabric of a
vision."

Some of the restaurateurs of Paris have lately
been victimised to a serious extent, they having
been robbed of silver forks and even silver dishes.
A man named Edmond Moulin has been sentenced
by the Police Tribunal to five years' imprisonment
and five years' surveillance by the police for such
robberies from the café restaurant of M. Bignon on
the boulevards. It is supposed that the robber has
carried on this game for seven months, during which
time M. Bignon has lost articles of great value.
The waiter detected him. While at sinner he pre-
tended to read a newspaper, with which he covered
a silver dish, and, watching his opportunity, put
the dish in his pocket. He played the game once
too often. Another customer dined at the same

time who had paid his bill. The dish was handed
to him, and the accomplice made off with it. M.
Gosselin, another cafe proprietor, has lost a great
many valuable articles in the same way.

ACCIDENT CAUSED BY A GUY.—On Tuesday
morning as a "guy," supposed to represent King Theo-
dore, stopped the traffic at th• corner of Gray's-inn, a coal
waggon, laden with three tons of coals in sacks, was sud-
denly pulled up, and a poor fellow who was lying on the
top of the load was thrown off. Unfortunately the wheel
passed over h's stomach, and when he was lifted up he was
found to be dead.

RELEASE OF THE PARANA FROM QUARANI INE.—
SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 6.—An order has been received by
the Customs authorities at this port from the Lords of the
Privy Council directing the release of the Parana and all
on board from the restrictions of quarantine, provided no
new matter shall have been brought under notice by the
Medical Superintendent of Quarantine before noon to-mor-
row. The Atrato, Eolus, and Menelaus, and all on board,
still remain m* quaruktim.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE,

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

ITALY.

PARIS, Nov. 8, (4.40 a.m.)

The Aloniteur announces that the news from Italy
is satisfactory. Tranquillity continued to prevail
at Florence and most of the cities.

At Milan and Pavia, where manifestations organ-
ised by the Mazainians rendered the interference of
the armed force necessary, the population have not
responded to the appeals of the agitators, who
chiefly obey the orders given by the secret societies.
Some arrests have taken place, and order has been
re-established at the two cities.

FLORENCE, Nov. 8.

The Italian Parliament will be convoked before
the end of November, and probably on the 26th.
Duke d'Aosto has been charged by the King to
proceed to Venice to compliment their Hellenic

Majesties.
The Danish Minister, M. Brahetrake, has arrived
at Florence.
