CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN -CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Wednesday Evening.
There is nothing in the Moniteur to-day from
Italy, so it may be fairly presumed that affairs pro-
ceed satisfactorily. Your readers will probably
have observed that, in spite of the statements in
alarmist journals that serious difficulties existed
between the French and Italian Cabinets, I was
correct in describing the perfect amity and concord
that prevails between them. The exception was
but momentary, and the .Moniteur has told its
readers that " the patriotic efforts made by the
Italian Government to re-establish order through-
out the Italian Peninsula inspire the greatest con-
fidence in the French Government, and convince it
that the good relations between France and Italy
will be strengthened and developed."
The Italian Government has appointed a com-
mission to inquire into the circumstances under
which Garibaldi effected his escape from Caprera.
The commission is composed of Vice-Admirals
Serra, Ribotti, and Deviry. The officers appointed
to watch Garibaldi will have to render an account
of the mode in which the General made his escape.
To the readers of The Sun the matter is no secret,
for I was enabled to give full and authentic parti-
culars of the circumstances. As soon as this in .
quiry shall be concluded Garibaldi will be placed
upon his trial on the charge of having provoked war
with a foreign Power. The Italian Cabinet has
obtained the requisite permission to commence the
prosecution.

The Empress of Russia, on her way from Livadia
to St. Petersburg, has arrived at Warsaw, where
her Majesty met the King and Queen of the
Greeks.

Lord Lyons has had an audience of the Princess
Matilda on occasion of his appointment as Ambas-
sador to the French Court. The Princess also re-
ceived Baron de Z uylen de Nievelt, the new Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from
Holland.

English swindlers are at it again. For some
weeks past the Paris papers have been well supplied
with an advertisement of a M. Morsdofor, a pre-
tended agent for obtaining situations, whose address
was given at Deborah-terrace, Wick-road, Hack-
ney. He offered plenty of situations in England,
with little work, and a salary of £l5O a year. Of
course there was no lack of applicants. In answer
to a letter from one young gentleman in Paris the
agent asked for £5O as security that he should not
fail in the conditions required, and a contract on
stamped paper to pay 5 per cent. upon the salary to
be received. Suspicion was excited, and informa-
tion has been received by the police in Paris that
the advertiser lives in miserable lodgings, and, from
other circumstances, there is no doubt that the pre-
tended agent is a swindler. This information may
be useful on both sides of the water.

The Journal des Debats comments upon the im-
propriety of the conduct of the alarmists who tried
to impose an idea that the entente cordiale between
France and Italy had been interrupted. It would
seem that a similar game has been tried in Italy,
where, in order to create alarm, sinister reports
had been spread of the dangerous illness of King
Victor Emmanuel, whose health is in as satisfac-
tory a condition as his best friends could wish.
It is, I believe, now quite settled that the Marquis
de la Valette, the Minister of the Interior, will re-
tire, and that he will be replaced by M. Pinard or
M. Magne. The Marquis retires with the full
esteem and confidence of the Emperor, and will still
have influence in political affairs, as he will be ap-
pointed a Privy Councillor.

The death is announced of the Chavelier de
Macedo, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentiary from Brazil to France, and member of
Dom Pedro's Privy Council.
The Countess de Flahault, wife of General
Flahault, died•on Monday. The Countess was au
English lady, and many English were received at
her evening parties, always very agreeable.
In absence of " metal more attractive," the
papers turn their attention to what will probably
take place at the opening of the French Legislature,
now so near at hand. No doubt they are right in
supposing that permission will be asked to put
questions relative to the Roman difficulty, but their
anticipations as to the nature and result are, I
believe, pure inventions. Thiers will no doubt come
out again ; indeed he has told a friend that such is
his intention.
General Nicotera, who commanded the Gari-
baldian volunteers, has issued a report, in which he
asserts that he could not carry into effect the order
given by Garibaldi to occupy Tivoli, solely in con-
sequence of the treason and disobedience of two of
his officers, named Benotti and An tinori, who, he
says, " disgraced their colours by committing in-
famous acts at which brigands would recoil."

We have had another day of summer, at least so
far as sunshine and warmth are concerned, although
there was a heavy white frost in the fields this
morning. The sun was not obscured for an instant
all day. Such a bright and beneficent November
was never known to the " oldest inhabitant" of
Paris, and the Parisians generally talk of it with
much more interest and pleasure than they ex-
perience in learning further particulars about Gari-
baldi. That dog has had his day. Catholics speak
of his machinations with contempt.

The Milan Gazette announces the arrival of
Prince Amadeus in that city, where he had a long
interview with Prince Humbert. That journal adds
that the two princes were to proceed to Fl9rence,
whither they are summoned by the King,
