CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Tuesday Evening.
The hopes and aspirations of the Italian insur-
gents who fancied that Victor Emmanuel would
shrink from opposing their machinations against the
Pope are completely overthrown by a proclamation
from the King, in which he unequivocally declares
that he will oppose to the uttermost any attempt at
the " destruction of the spiritual authority of the
head of the Catholic religion." The proclamation
proceeds—" Italy ought to be reassured against the
dangers she may run. Europe should be convinced
that Italy, faithful to her engagements, cannot be
the destroyer of public order. A war with our ally
would be a fratricidal war between two armies who
have fought together in the same cause.

" The right of peace and war belonging to me, I
cannot allow the usurpation of that right. I have,
therefore, confidence that the voice of reason will
be heard, and that the Italian citizens who have
violated that right will come and promptly place
themselves behind the lines of our army.
" When calmness shall be restored to the public
mind, and public order completely re-established,
my Government, in accord with that of France,
will endeavour faithfully, in conformity with the
vote of Parliament, to come to some useful arrange-
ment calculated to put an end to the grave and
important Roman question." •

This proclamation is signed by the King and all
the new Ministers. The compopition of the new
Cabinet is as follows :—General Menabrea, Presi-
dent of the Council and Minister of Foreign Affairs ;
M. Gualterio, Minister of the Interior ; M. Cam-
bray Digny, Mayor of Florence, Minister of
Finance ; M. Cantelli, Minister of Public Works ;
General Bertole Veale, Minister of War; M. Mari,
Minister of Justice.

The communications with Rome are again inter-
rupted. The Florence despatches state that the
Italian Deputy, Do Santis, was killed in the attack
at Viterbo, as well as the Garibaldian chief, Acerbi.
Two other deputies, Messrs. Nicoteva and Mosto,
were seriously wounded during the engagement at
Monte Rotondo.

As far as it is possible to trace the march of
events in Italy, from the mass of contradictory
statements, it appears that Garibaldi passed the
frontier on the 23d. The next day he occupied
Correse, Monte Libreti, and Monte Maggiore. A
junction with his band had been formed by the in-
surgents, under the command of his son Menotti,
Caldesi, Salomone, Mosto, and Friggesi. It was on
the 25th that he arrived at Monte Rotondo, where
the action, already alluded to, took place. On the
26th, having unsuccessfully attempted to carry
Monte Rotondo by assault, he marched with the
mass of his adherents in the direction of Rome.
Monte Rotondo is at such a short distance from
Rome (four leagues) that Garibaldi may have
reached the Holy City before the French troops, but
no further fact about Garibaldi has to-day reached
Paris. On leaving Florence, Garibaldi said to
Cialdini—" I believe that the ball which will strike
me on the chest will be useful to Italy. 1 cannot
renounce my duty to my country. It is the last
that I shall have to accomplish."

Au account from Passo Corese states that
Menotti Garibaldi has 3,400 men well armed with
him. The interview between Garibaldi and his son
is described as very effecting. The General said
to his son—" I gave you such and such orders. Do
you find them judicious ?" " Perfect," replied
Menotti. " Then I go in advance," said Garibaldi.
" And we will follow you," said Menotti. Gari-
baldi, after enjoying a very moderate repast of
bread and cheese at a small inn, where he stopped
but a very short time, marched on with his band.
The very interesting ceremonial of the distribu-
tion of rewards to apprentices and working children,

by the Empress took place on Sunday, in exact con-
formity with the programme I sent. Senator Dumas,
in an earnest address to her Majesty, dwelt upon
the importance of training the rising generation to
industry, and spoke eloquently of the charity and
assistance of the Empress. The Archbishop of Paris,
M. Darboy, followed, and made a comprehensive
sketch of the efforts made by those high in authority
to improve and assist the young. The Archbishop
took a cheering view of the state of modern society.
He said—" Modern society, no doubt like every-
thing else in this world, had its imperfections and
its hours of failure, but the moral and religious sen-
timent had not abandoned it. It disdained sophis-
tries. If the feet touched the earth, the mind and
the heart touched heaven." Fervent and frequent
acclamations greeted the Empress and the Imperial
Prince. On leaving the Palace her Majesty ex-
pressed great satisfaction at all the arrangements
and deep sympathy with the object in view.
The last autumn meeting at Vincennes of the
Society of Steeplechases of France went off very
brilliantly. The Emperor of Austria was present.
The Prix du Polygone Military Steeplechase,
3,000 fr. (2,000 fr. to the first, 800 fr. to the second,
and 200 fr. to the third) was won by Magenta,
ridden by M. S. Romans. The Duke of Hamilton's
Sly Fox, ridden by M. D'Aubigny, was second.
The Prix de la Ville de Paris, grand autumn
prize, given by the Municipal Council of the City
of Paris, for 5 years and upwards, foaled in France
was won by Said. The Duke of Hamilton's Avenay
arrived second.
The Prix des Minimes Handicap, 2,000 f., was
won by Nemesis, belonging to Prince A. Murat;
Ocean Witch was second.
The Emperor Napoleon and the Emperor of
Austria had a splendid day's shooting on Sunday
at Conflans, in the forest of St. Germain, The
Emperor of Austria is one of the best shots in
Europe, and made some hits at long distances which
astonished the natives. The Emperor Napoleon
uses breech-loading guns. The Emperor of Austria
shoots with guns which aro loaded by the muzzle.
They are prepared by six of his servants who ac-
company him in his shooting excursions in coquettish
costumes. During the shooting the party were
agreeably surprised by three vineyard proprietors
in their blouses, bearing baskets filled with the
choicest grapes of the country, which were accepted
with courtesy and pleasure. The Prince de la Mos-
kowa and Prince de Leichstein, who were of the
party, are both capital hands at shooting. The
latter brought down 150 birds. The following
is a list of the game killed during the day :-400
rabbits, 50 deer, 150 hares, 100 partridges, and
1,300 pheasants. The two Sovereigns were every-
where greeted with immense applause.
There are no further details of the accident on the
Great Northern Railway, but I have seen a letter
from Dr. Alibran, who was in the train, which
states that eight Englishmen had either fractured
legs or arms.

There were no less than 150,000 persons at the
Exhibition on Sunday. The visitors did not all
pay, but many of them belonging to the working
class had free tickets, which the Commission with
its accustomed consideration liberally distributed.
To-day the sight at the Exhibition was very gra-
tifying, at all events to those who admire the great
admonition, " Suffer little children to come unto
me." There were some thousands of boys and
girls ; the boys attended by priests, and the girls
by Sisters of Charity and governesses. All classes
are taking advantage of the short time to elapse
before the close of this great spectacle. The Exhi-
bition was so full to-day that it was difficult to
move about.

It is my intention, on the occasion of the closing
of the Exhibition, to enter into a searching analysis
and appreciation of the various articles exhibited.
To-day however I content myself with a brief general
comparision of English and French products. It is
admitted that the superiority is with France in
many respects. England has shown great advance
in art, taste, and industry, but as a spectacle the
English department is dull and flat compared with
the French. As you advance along the Galerie
Mobilier the most costly, glittering, and splendid
articles meet the eye at every step. Furniture of
unparalleled beauty on one side, and on the other
the articles of crystal, the tapestry, and the Sevres
china excite equal admiration and astonishment.
The exhibition of the manufacture of Aubusson
forms a fairy palace, with which the Palace of

Aladdin could not bear comparison. Immediately
nprna;to to It is tko o.alstbition of frlcoora. Cliariatoflo
and Co., whose house has achieved a triumph which
will mark an important era in industrial taste.

Nothing has ever been seen to equal their produc
tions. The Emperor wished to have the table orna.

went which I have described at St. Cloud, but

a sufficient abundance of beautiful articles 07
their manufacture remains to excite the won•

der and admiration of all.

Such a dis

play of orfevrie has never before been seen.
A little beyond on the same side are the articles in
the clock-making department, which prove the in-

disputable advance made in France in this branch
of mechanical industry. An inspection of the stand
of M. Detouche must convince every one of this.
It appears that the immense clock sent by that

skilful manufacturer is so admirable in its details
that it has marked the time since it has been placed
in the Exhibition with the precision of a chrono-

meter. It has become a saying in Paris, "If you
want to know the time of day go to the Rue St.

Martin." It is impossible to have better or cheaper
watches and clocks than you can get there. Re-
turning to the English department, I may say that

the leading jewellers of London have exhibited some

good and tasteful articles. Messrs. C. F. Han

cock, Son, and Co., have, however, fairly attained
the right to take the lead of them, for they have
brought a continued succession of articles of jewel-
lery unparalleled for beauty, originality of design,

and skill in execution. Of course they had a gold

medal. Had it been set with diamonds the reward

would not have been too great.

THE NEW 110LBORN AMPHITHEATRE.

The performances at this elegant place of amuse-
ment at the present time present very great attrac-
tions. Not only have we horsemanship of the most
remarkable description, but a troup of clever pan-
tomimists, under the direction of Mr. Charles
Laurie and an almost endless number of gymnasts,
whose surprising feats elicit the most unbounded
applause. Last evening the entertainments com-
menced with a very amusing necromantic fairy
ballet, entitled " The Fiend." The antics of Mr
Lauri were of the most laughable description,
and forcibly called to mind recollections of
the late Mr. Wieland, whose legitimate successor
Mr. Lauri seems to be. This part of the perfor-
mance having concluded, we then had the enter-
tainments proper to the circus, and with a full re-
collection of Astley's in all its glory, we may at once
say many of the " trick acts" at the new amphi-
theatre completely distance those ithich delighted
us in the palmy days of Ducrow. Little Kate
Pouell is a very charming cquestrienue, and, al-
though apparently only about eight years of age,
she accomplishes all the feats usually performed
by those three times her age. The perfection
of training is also shown in the performance
of a splendid animal, trained by Mr. J. Finis.
Troost is a most accomplished equestrienne.
But what shall we say of M. Gerard ? his per-
formance is altogether a perfect wonder, his leap
through a " tunnel" being the most extraordinary
feat ever accomplished in the arena. The jockey
act of Mr. Bradbury is a splendid specimen of
horsemanship, and the gymastic evolutions of the
Delevanti family and M. Aires are quite on
a par with the other entertainments. The
proprietors seem determined to carry on their
enterprise with the greatest spirit. Not con.
tent with having secured the services of the
most eminent equestrians of the day, they have
entered into an engagement with the renowned
Dassie Family, with their wonderful troupe of
ponies, dcgs, and monkeys, who will make their
first appearance in England on Monday next in an
entertainment of the most remarkable nature.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

",THE ROMAN QUESTION.

PARIS, Oct. 30.
The Maniteur of this morning says :—" The
French fleet arrived on the evening of the 28th
October within sight of Civita Vecchia. On that
date Rome was tranquil, and the precautions neces-
sitated by circumstances have been taken in order to
repel au attack. Garibaldi was still at a few miles
distance from the city. Quiet continued to reign
at Florence, and the unimportant demonstrations
which had taken place at Tu:in and Naples had been
repressed -without leading to any disturbance. Now
that the French flag waves upon the walls of Civita
Vecchia, and that the French troops are in the pre-
sence of the revolutionary bands who have invaded
the Pontifical States, it would be almost superfluous to
remark that all correspondence with the insurgent
bands or their leaders, all encouragement, all
assistance given them either by subscription or by
any other means, would constitute a fact equally
opposed to the provisions of the French penal laws
as to the country's sentiments of loyalty and de-
votedness. The Government relies upon the
patriotism of all the organs of the press whatever
opinions they may defend, and hopes that it will not
be compelled to have recourse to the severity of the
laws. A legal prosecution bas just been ordered
against the Courrier Francais for an article pub-
lished last evening by that journal headed " The
Intervention."

FLORENCE, Oct. 29, Evening.
No further intelligence of the latest movements
of the insurgents has been received.

Communication is interrupted on the railway
between Orvitello and Civita Vecchia.

Garibaldi is said to have crossed the Tiber, and to
be now between Nero's Tomb and Monte Mario.
FLORENCE? Oct. 30.

The rumour that the Italian troops would cross
,he Papal frontier last night is announced to be

premature.

General Garibaldi had arrived yesterday within
a short distance of Rome.
AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Oct. 30.

This morning's papers discuss the toasts ex-
changed between the Emperors Napoleon and
Francis Joseph, at the Hotel de Ville banquet. All
recognise that the meeting of the Sovereigns at
Paris may prove of great political importance, and
accept in the sense of the toast proposed by the
Emperor of Austria the good understanding stated
to exist between Austria and France.

It is stated that Baron Beust will go to London
on Friday, and that the Emperor of Austria will
leave Compiegne on Monday.
The Fremdenblatt alleges that Baron von
Werther, the Prussian Minister Plenipotentiary,
will be replaced at this Court by Count Redern at
the end of the year.
The Debatle announces that, in consequence of
foreign influence, Ali Pasha's mission in Candia has
failed.
