CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Tuesday Evening.
The following is from the Bulletin of the Illoni-
teur

" General Koucheleff, aide-de-camp to the Empe-
ror, has arrived at Copenhagen, bringing to the King
and Queen of Denmark the official notification of the
marriage of the Princess Dagmar with the Heredi-
tary Grand Duke of Russia. There was a grand
dinner on the occasion, and the King presented to
General Koucheleff the grand cross of the Danebrog
set in diamonds. The time for the departure of the
Prince Royal from St. Petersburg is not yet fixed.
His Royal Highness, on his return, will pay a ♦isit
to the Prussian Court.

" A private telegraphic despatch from Venice
announces that the results of the elections for the
Italian*Parliament, as far as they are known, are
favourable to the Moderate party.
A private letter from Ibraila, dated November
15, gives details of the enthusiastic reception of the
Prince de Roumania, Charles the First, after his
recognition by the Porte, in the cities of the Lower
Danube. The Consul of France, in the name of the
other Consuls, presented an appropriate address to
him, in reply to which he said that the development
of the commerce and industry of his country would
be the object of his constant care. On leaving
Ibraila the Prince was cordially greeted by all
classes. He was to leave Galatz on the 17th for
Ismail."

There is nothing in the Moniteur in reference to
Mexico, and in the meantime several of the Paris
papers continue to doubt the truth of the alleged
abdication of the Emperor Maximilian. They
abound in speculations and contradictory reports
upon the subject.
The six transports now at Cherbourg destined to
bring back the troops from Mexico will, it is said,
return with the enormous number of 9,000 men,
without reckoning the crews composed of 1,128.
Thi3 is the estimate of the number to be brought
by each vessel. The Aveyron, 2,299 passengers ;
crew 226. Ti e Garonne, 2,340 passengers ;
crew 211. The Calvados, 1,456 passengers ; crew
211. La Nievre, 1,344 passengers; crew 180. La
Gironde, 800 passengers ; crew 150. La Durance,
800 passengcrs ; crew 150.
The Siecle says :—" The most curious spectacle
presented in Germany at present, where Prussia is
forgotten for the moment, is the labour of the
Cabinet of Vienna with a view to conciliate herself
with Hungary. These efforts up to this time have
been attended with only relative success. Three
parties still exist—the ultra Magyars, whose head-
quarters are at the hotel of the Archduke ; the
centre left, who hold their sittings at the hotel du
Tigre, and the Deakists, who meet at the hotel de
l'Europe. Each party has the designation of the
locality where it meets. The Deakists have consti-
tuted themselves into an independent club, with the
title of the Deakist Club.

A letter from Caux gives an account of the loss
of the French fishing vessel, the Aigle, of that port,
which was engaged on the herring fishery on the
English coast. The Aigle is supposed to have
struck on the Crossand sand, about four miles from
Yarmouth. •The crew consisted of twenty-eight
men of St. Valery, all fathers of families, and the
whole crew are supposed to be lost. The vessel
made signals of distress, but the sea was so heavy
that it was impossible to render any assistance. The
disaster has created great consternation in the town.
The weather continues wet and stormy, but not
cold. The bulletin of the Observatory records a
considerable fall in the barometer, and strong winds
off the French coast. The Adriatic and the
Mediterranean are much agitated. The Seine con-
tinues to rise, and more inundations are feared.
By the mutual consent of the English and French
Governments the treaty of extradition which would
have expired on the 6th of next month has been re-
newed till next September.
The figures showing the expenses of the City of
Paris speak with a certain degree of eloquence. In
1852 they amounted to 66 million of francs. In
1861 the amount was tripled, and reached 192
million. In 1865 the amount was 215 million, and
for the present year they will exhibit a considerable
increase. In 1852 the amount required for the
payment of the interest of the debt was but seven
millions and a half. In 1866 the City of Paris pays
for the interest of its debt 16 million and a half.

M. Ferme, editor of the Courier Francais, con-
demned by default to six months' imprisonment and
to pay a flue of 50f., for " exciting hatred and con-
tempt among the citizens to each other," has ap-
pealed to the 6th Chamber of Correctional Police
against that sentence, but that Court confirmed the
sentence. All well disposed men thank the Govern-
ment for repressing these silly but mischievous
attacks.

Baron de Watteville, who died a few days ago,
was the author of numerous useful works connected
with the public establishments of Paris.
A singular case has been tried at Caen. A man
named Martin, 30 years of age, was accused of
selling his wife and a cupboard to Pierre Vautier,
a neighbour, for five francs. The trial took place
with closed doors. The seller was convicted and
sentenced to eight years' hard labour. Vautier, the
purchaser, was condemned to five years' imprison-
ment. The details involved some terrible acts of
immorality.

The G'onst itutionnel states that the overtures made
by the Austrian Cabinet to that of Prussia for a re-
vision of the Austro-German Treaty of Commerce
have been well received. The Prussian Govern-
ment, in reply to the propositions, said it was ready
to enter into negotiations upon the subject, and that
the Ministers of Commerce and Finance were charged
with the arrangement of a new treaty, having for
object the development of the principle of free trade.
The Mediterranean squadron of evolution will
shortly go through various manoeuvres, in order to
test the tactics proposed by Vice-Admiral Count de
Gueydon in regard to iron-clad vessels.
A letter from Florence, dated November 24, says
--" General Fleury, the envoy from the Emperor,
has been received in diplomatic and military circles
with the honours due to his raik. The day after
his arrival King Victor Emmanuel gave him a pri-
vate audience, and on the same day he had two
long interviews with Baron Iticasoli and M. Via-
coat) Velloota, Miuiatero# EQreigu Affairs."
