CORRESPONDENCE PROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Monday Evening.
The Emperor and Empress arrived at Biarritz
yesterday morning in perfect health.
The health of the King of Sweden, Charles the
XV., has been entirely re-established by the waters
of Vichy and the regimen he adopted there. His
Majesty, who has resided in the country since his
return, is expected shortly at Stockholm. His
Royal Highness Prince Oscar of Sweden is at pre-
sent at the camp of Gardenden, where he has taken
the command of the troops.
The official Gazette of the Kingdom of Italy pub-
lishes the royal decree which dissolves the perma-
nent squadron of the Mediterranean. That squad-
ron will be reinstituted in the month of March,
18G8. _

The Moniteur, in its bulletin, says :—" After
some difficulties the military question seems to be
settled between Prussia and the Duchy of Bruns-
wick. The latter has obtained the same conditions
as the Kingdom of Saxony and the two Mecklen-
burgs. Its contingent will be exclusively recruited
from subjects of Brunswick, and will retain a part
of the uniform. All the officers, to the rank of
colonel inclusive, will be appointed by the territorial

sovereign.
" In Bavaria the camp, which is annually formed
on the banks of the Lech, has just commenced its
manoeuvres. It will be composed of two divisions,
placed under the orders of Prince Luitpold.
General 'faun, aide de camp general of the King,
will command one of the divisions."

The Constitutionnel has the following upon the
subject of the despatch of the Marquis de
Moustier

" Public opinion in England is intensely satisfied
with the declarations contained in the despatch of
the Marquis de Moustier. Most of the English
journals, as well as the German papers, applaud the
feeling which dictated this despatch, and congratu-
late the Imperial Government upon the faithfulness
of its policy."
A calculation has been made which will give an
idea of the immense additional consumption by
foreigners iu consequence of the Exhibition. It is
stated that the train from Prussia alone brings

thily through Namur 1,225 travellers. They began
to arrive on the 18th of May. At the date of the
31st of August, therefore, the number amounted to
19,610. Suppose an average expenditure of 15fr.
a day, and in twenty days this would make an
amount of 5,880,000 fr., levied only upon the
Prussians who have passed through Namur on their
way to Paris.
A broker on the Boulevard de Clichy, Batig-
nolles, near Paris, exhibits a portrait, on which is
inscribed genuine portrait of Paganini, painted by
himself. It is a miserable similitude of the
" human face divine," and if it be really the pro-
duction of Paganini all will easily admit that Paga-
nini could play much better than he could paint.

News has been received at Berlin from the
Consul-General of Prussia in Mexico that
Baron Magnus was on the Bth of July, the date
of his correspondence, at San Luis de Potosi
in convalescence. The illness of this repre-
sentative of the Prussian Government was
the sole cause of the interruption in his communi-
cations to the Prussian Ministry.
It is stated from Vienna that the visit of the
Emperor and Empress of Austria to Paris will take
place in the early part of October.
Before the departure of the Emperor and Em-
press for Biarritz, on Saturday, his Majesty gave an
audience to Countde Goltz, the Prussian Ambas-
sador, and also to Monsigneur Chigi, the Pope's
Nuncio.

The Paris papers, to-day, are remarkably defi-
cient of news or incident.

The Council of State, in its judicial capacity, has
just given an important decision upon a point of
Ecclesiastical law. A Catholic clergyman of Paris,
who was ordained in the year 1828, and who bad
officiated in various parishes, had been curate of
Neuilly since 185. lie had lived there several
years with his sister-in-law and her children, and
enjoyed the general esteem of his parishioners,
when, in consequence of some calumnious reports
respecting him, the Cardinal Archbishop of Paris
first suspended and then dismissed him from the
curacy. The curate appealed to the Council of
State, contending that the suspension was an abuse
of power. He also made a canonical appeal to the
Court of Rome. The latter appeal was submitted
to the Sacred Congregation, interpreter of the Coun-
cil of Trent, and after a long and minute investiga-
tion it was declared that the order which had de-
prived the minister of his curacy could not be sus-
tained, and ought to be annulled. The Holy
Father approved and confirmed this decision,
and on the 29th of August, 1864, an ordinance was
issued for Rome, restoring the minister to all the
rights of which he had been dispossessed. Through
the medium of the Pope's Nuncio this ordinance
was communicated to the Archbishop of Paris, and
it was intimated that the minister desisted from his
appeal as to an abuse of power, but he claimed a
restitution to office in compliance with the ordi-
nance issued, on the part of the Pope. An Impe-
rial decree was, however, issued on the part of the
Minister of Public Worship, opposing the Papal de-
cision, and confirming the sentence of dismissal by
the Archbishop of Paris. The former curate of
Neuilly now appealed to the Council of State
against the sentence, on the ground that the Arch-
bishop of Paris had no power to annul the acts of
the Sovereign Pontiff. M. Labordere, advocate of
the curate, contended that the faithful of the parish
of Neuilly demanded the return of their minister,
and,that, in pursuance of the sentence of the Holy
Father, he ought to be reinstated in all his rights.
The Council of State, however, in approval of the
arguments of their Commissary, M. Ancor, decided
that the sentence of the Court, in matters of dis-
pute regarding archiepiscopal matters of contention,
could not be disputed in France without the autho-
rity of the French Government. The annulation
of the sentence of the Archbishop of Paris by the
Sovereign Pontiff could not be registered by the
Council of State, unless with the permission of the
Government. The Government, not having given
that consent, the deprivation of office decreed by
the Archbishop of Paris must be sustained.

THE BOUNDARY COMMISSIONERS.

MEETING THIS DAY.

This morning Major Bainbridge and Mr. Nassau,
senior, the A;sistant Commissioners appointed by
the Boundary Commissioners for England and
Wales under the provisions of the Representation
of the People Act, held a Court at the Vestry-hall,
Kings's-road, Chelsea, for the purpose of inquiring
into the boundaries of the proposed new borough of
Chelsea, including Hammersmith, and one or two
outlying parishes.
The proceedings were not at all of au exciting
character, indeed very little interest was manifested
in them. when the Commissioners commenced
their labours there were only two or three gentle-
men present,
conversation was entered upon
in a boundary map, which was
spread connection
out en
upont the table.
with
In answer to a question, the Commissioners stated
that they were not instructed to
inquire into paro-
chial boundaries, and had only to deal with the pro-
posed borough generally.
In the course of the morning a few gentleman in-
terested in the matter dropped in,
and afforded the
Assistant-Commissioners such information on
local matters as they bad at their disposal, and upon
this they (the Assistant-Commissioners) will in due
time make their report.
