CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Friday Evening.
The Moniteur says that a project of law has been
submitted to the Saxon Chambers respecting the
nomination of the Parliament of the Northern
States. According to this project, the election will
be direct and not by three steps, according to the
present Prussian electoral system. Every Saxon
citizen of twenty-five years will be eligible as
elector. One deputy will be elected by 100,0)0
souls ; and should there be an excess of 50,000
another deputy may be elected. Saxony may rest
on upon 24 members in the Parliament, and the
Northern States, exclusive of Prussia, en masse,
upon 75 votes.

The Chamber of Deputies of Dresden has agreed
unanimously to the treaty of peace between Saxony
and Prussia.

It appears from the German papers that the
Prussian Administration in Hanover is giving fresh
impetus to the advance of public works. It is de-
cided that there shall be granted to the Company
of the Railway from Cologne to Minden the con-
cession of the direct line from Paris to Hamburg,
which is to be constructed between Osnabruck and
llarbourg. A gigantic bridge over the Elbe wily
connect that town with the great Hanseatic city.

The Prussian Minister of Commerce has an-
nounced to the Chamber of Deputies that the con-
struction of the canal between the North Sea and
the Baltic will be commenced as soon as a capital
of 30 millions of dollars shall be realised. The
State will perhaps take upon its account a few mil-
lions of dollars and a certain number of shares, but
it will not guarantee the whole amount.

It appears (says the Siecle) that Prussia has
thought better of the matter, and does not wish to
defer indefinitely the organisation of the Confede-
ration of the North, as was reported. The Cabinet
of Berlin has just addressed to the States of which
it is composed a Circular requesting them to ap-
point delegates to the Conference which will be
opened at Berlin on the 15th of December, with
the
.object of settling the constitution of Parlia-
ment. By the same Circular the Cabinet of Berlin
informs the States of the North that the elections
will terminate on the
.Ist of February, 1867, and
that the meeting of the Parliament is fixed for the
15th of that month.

Some of the papers have raised a difficulty in re-
gard to the exact day on which the delay of two
years allowed for the evacuation of Rome and the
Pontifical territory by the French troops will ex-
pire. Article 2of the Convention of the 15th of
September, 1861, says that the evacuation is to be
effected within the delay of two years, and by the
terms of an additional Protocol the Convention
should receive its executive power from the day
when the King of Italy shall have decreed the re-
moval of the capital of the kingdom to another city.
According to a future arrangement signed by M.
Dronyn de Lhuys on the part of France, and by
M. Nigra on the part of Italy, an additional delay
was allowed for the removal of the capital. The
Journal des DebaLs, after explaining this and other
points, says :—" Thus on the 13th of December
next there ought not to be a single French soldier
at Rome. That is the day on which the temporal
government of the Pope will commence a period of
greater trial than any to which it has yet been sub-
ected."

The despatches received by telegraph from New
York, of the 2th of Number, have made " con-
