CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Friday Evening.
The following news is from the bulletin of the
Moniteur

" The energetic measures which have led to the
arrest of Garibaldi have been received with satisfac-
tion throughout the whole kingdom of Italy, and
the news received from the provinces shows that
there has not been any interruption to tranquillity.
Some attempts to form a crowd were made yester-
day at Florence, but the assemblage was promptly
dispersed.
" An account of the new organisation of the pro-
vince of Schleswig-Holstein has been published. It
is formed, with a few exceptions, upon the former
Prussian Administration. The province is divided
into twenty circles, each placed under the jurisdic-
tion of a sub-prefect.
" The Queen of Prussia has left the Grand Duchy
of Baden for Mayence, where the Prince Royal will
go to meet her Majesty.
" His Highness Prince Charles of Roumania pre-
sided on Sunday last at the solemn distribution of
the flags to the National Guard of the Danubian
Principalities. After the benediction of the insignia,
and their distribution to each of the Legions, the
Prince reviewed the troops and was enthusiastically
cheered. _ _

"The Viceroy of Egypt arrived at Alexandria from
Constantinople on the 16th inst., and was received
with manifestations of respect and sympathy.
During the reception of the Consuls, who came to
offer their homage to the Viceroy, his Highness
expressed his sincere gratitude for the favourable
reception with which he had been meb in Europe.
" A letter from Damascus states that the expedi-
tion sent by the Turkish troops against certain re-
volted tribes of the territory of Balka, an immense
country situated to the south of Vilazet, has suc-
ceeded in re-establishing order and tranquillity in
the country.
"In consequence of the numerous submissions
and the flight of the rebels, the representatives of
the Turkish authority have proceeded to the ad-
ministrative reorganisation of the country, and to
levy the taxes, an operation which has been effected
without difficulty."
The arrest of Garibaldi is founded upon the in-
terpretation given in a despatch from M. Drouyn

de Lhuys, dated October 30, 1864, of the stipula-
tions contained in the treaty of last year. Here are
the words used in the despatch—" Among the -,
violent means which Italy is interdicted from em-
ploying may be enumerated revolutionary
manoeuvres upon the Pontifical territory, as well
as all incitement intended to produce insurrectionary
movements." Should Garibaldi now refuse to re-
nounce his insurrectionary projects relative to Rome
the Italian Ministry intend to convoke an extraordi-
nary meeting of the Chamber to deliberate upon the
best courso to be adopted.
A new warlike projectile of a formidable cha-
racter has been tried in the port of Calais. The
peculiarity of this shell is that the exact distance at
which it will explode is ascertained. That distance
is 400 metres.
Great interest is manifested just now by arclizeo-
logists, artists, and indeed casual visitors to Paris,
in the inspection of the important works of restora-
tion in progress at the very ancient church of St.
Denis, which had for origin the modest tomb of
the first Bishop of Paris and the companions of his
martyrdom. Already celebrated before the invasion
of the Franks, the church erected by the faithful at
the tomb of St. Denis, the magnificence of which
was spoken of by Gregory de Tours, was recon-
structed, first by Sainte Genevieve, and afterwards,
towards 630, by Dagobert, with still greater splen-
dour. In his time King Pepin undertook to rebuild
the church of St. Denis, and spared no pains in the
endeavour to surpass the work of the Merovingian
Prince. Charlemagne finished the edifice, and con-
secrated it in 775. In the 12th century the church
was entirely rebuilt by the Abbd Suger, but a great
portion of the crypt of the Carlovingian period was
preserved. It was, however, built in haste, and a
century afterwards it seemed as if it would fall into
ruins. Saint Louis, therefore, ordered a great por-
tion of it to be rebuilt. Formerly the cloister of St.
Denis contained the bodies of all the Kings of
France from the time of Dagobert. On the right
of the passage to the sanctuary was the tomb of
Dagobert, richly painted and gilt, and to the left
that of two sons of Philippe le Bel. In the chapel
of Notre Dame la Blanche was the tomb of the
two daughters of King Charles the Fourth. All
the tombs of the French kings which were not
destroyed during the Revolution of 1793 are now
to be seen in this church. The tombs of Louis the
Twelfth, Francis the First, and Henry the Second
are preserved exactly in their original state. Some
of these monuments are very remarkable as evincing
the state of art in the twelfth and fifteenth
centuries. Visitors who come to Paris to see the
Exhibition should not omit to inspect the artistic
and archaeological riches presented in the ancient
church of St. Denis, so intimately connected with
important historical recollections. There is fre-
quent communication by rail, and plenty of vehicles
also.

The Memorial Diplontatique says :—" We have
reason to believe that on Wednesday the Pope's
Nuncio at Paris went to the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs to express to the Emperor, through the me-
dium of the Marquis de Moustier, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, the sentiments of gratitude felt by his
Holiness on occasion of the arrest of Garibaldi. The
Pontifical Government acknowledges that the ex-
cellent measures adopted, with the view of frustrating
the projected expedition against the Roman States,
are duo to the influence of the Cabinet of the
Tuileries."
M. Frederic Thomas, the manager of the Epoque,
and M. Arthur Arnoul, the editor of that paper,
have appeared before the Tribunal of Correctional
Police, charged with having inserted an article de-
famatory of the sergeants de vine or police officers.
In this article it was stated, that of the 4,000 officers
employed in the city of Paris 3,499 committed
excesses against the peaceable citizens, and behaved
with great brutality. The officers were also charged
with insolence and violence, and general arbitrary
conduct. The Tribunal decided that the defendants
had committed an offence provided for by article
60 of the Penal Code, and condemned Terme to
pay a fine of 200 f., and fined Arnoul 600 f., and
ordered the defendants to pay the expenses.
Frequent instances of robbery by night in Paris
and the suburbs are mentioned by the papers.
Some daring thieves have made several attacks upon
the police officers, and in one case they robbed an
officer of his watch and chain.
The weather has been bright to-day, but a very
cold wind still prevails.
