CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FRO3I OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

I'Ams, Monday Evening.

There is no news or announcement of importance
in the Moniteur to-day. It has, however, transpired
that the treaty between France and Italy for the
arrangement of the Papal debt has been signed be-
tween the respective parties at the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs.

The journal La France, which affects to have
peculiar and exclusive information relative to the
Emperor Maximilian, says that he has returned from
Orizaba to Mexico. The date of the despatch in
which this news is conveyed is later than that which
I noticed giving the information that the Emperor
Maximilian had made up his mind to come and see
the Empress at Miramar, at the request of her medi-
cal attendant.

The Journal des Debats, in discussing the Mande-
meld of the Archbishop of Paris, says :--" It con-
trasts favourably with the episcopal prose published
of late. There are no apostolical tirades or insults
against the Italians, but the Roman question is dis-
cussed calmly, seriously, and in good taste. In
advising moderation, M. Darboy preaches from his
own example, and we hope that the advice of the
prelate, which is not addressed merely to the faith-
ful to the diocese of Paris, will not be confined to
them, but will find an echo elsewhere. The infer-
ence to be drawn from this document appears to be
that in spite of the efforts of the violent party,
whose influence is felt too much at Rome, all hope
of a compromise is not abandoned." I may as well
notice that the Archbishop states that the amount
received on behalf of the Pope when the Lent Man-
dement was published was 1,791,062 f. 50c. The
subscriptions since amount to 157,406 f. 80c. Total,
1,948,469 f. 30c.

Rossini has met with an accident, which, how-
ever, it is hoped will not be attended with serious
consequences. He had returned to his bed-room,
according to his usual custom, after dinner. As he
remained, however, longer than usual, Madame
Rossini went to his room, and found him senseless
on an arm-chair. It appears that he had fallen
against the bed and had received a serious blow on
the forehead and nose. The fall produced vomiting.
His medical attendant, Dr. Vio Bouato, came with-
out delay, and from his care the patient passed a
favourable night. The account given to-day is that
Rossini is much better.
An account has been received in Paris, but with-
out any details, of the murder of the curate of
Chateuneuf-sur-Loire with a hatchet while
he was celebrating mass last Friday morning at the
hospital of that town. The assassin is a shoemaker,
who was formerly employed at the church.

Among the recent deaths is that of the Baroness
d'Haussez, wife of Baron d'Haussez, who was
Minister of Charles the Tenth, and who, if I recol-
lect rightly, was oue of the statesmen who signed
the celebrated ordinances against the press, which
led to the expulsion of that monarch from the
throne.

The Countess Anna Apponyi, mother of the
Counts Charles and George Apponyi, the well-
known diplomatist, has just died at Presbourg,
aged 87.

The important point as to the right to publish a
guide to the Great Exhibition is still in suspense.
M. Dentu, who has purchased the right to publish
the Official Guide, and who commenced proceedings
against Messrs. LebigmS and Duquesne, editors,
who announced the publication of an International
Guide, stated by counsel to the Correctional Tri-
bunal that he desisted from the action. M. Durier,
the couns,,,l, said his clients would not accept the
withdrawal of the proceedings. They wished the
Court to give a decision upon the important lite-
rary question whether the publication as a Guide
to the Exhibition is to be a monopoly, or whether
any man who chooses to publish such a Guide is to
be.at liberty to do so. In consequence of the ill-
ness of the counsel for the plaintiff, the further
proceedings were postponed for a week. The
question, although a very simple one, touches
in the highest degree upon the cause of
literature. It is whether the purchase of the
right to publish an Official Guide gives the pur-
chaser the right to suppress the publication of any
other Guide whatever.

The Constitutionnel states that the Military Com-
mission has finished its labours, but there will be
another sitting before the proposalS shall be em-
bodied in a project of law, and sent to the Council
of State. The Emperor has approved of the prin-
cipal bases of the reorganisation of our military
forces. They are to augment the -resources of the
national defence by economising our financial re-
sources, and not to destroy a system which has been
a source of glory for France, at the same time
not to be in a position below the exigencies created
by the increase of European armies, to respect
the great principle of equality without interfering
with the intellectual impetus of the country."
The Italie states that the bishops who had left
their sees have all returned to their dioceses. The
Italian Government has acted strictly in accordance
with the conciliatory views propounded in the Cir-
cular of M. Ricasoli. lie had called upon the
bishops to return, and had neglected nothing to
destroy the barriers opposed to such a course. This
result (adds the Italie) proves how the Italian Go-
vernment persecutes the Church, as some journals
have asserted.

The Italic, in reference to the mission of M.
Tonello, says that it has no reference to political
matters. The object of it is to come to an under-
standing between the Italian Government and the
Pope with respect to the suppression of a certain
number of bishoprics and in regard to the nomina-
tion of bishops whose appointments should receive
the previous approbation of the King. This is the
extent of the points to which the mission will be
confined. 'They are no doubt delicate questions,
but the arrangements made with other powers would
prove, if necessary, that it is not impossible to come
to an understanding with the Court of Rome upon
such matters without it being necessary for Italy to
abandon any of her just rights.
It is officially stated that the negotiations be-
tween France and Austria for treaties upon five
rather important questions proceed satisfactorily,
and that there is no doubt of a speedy and definitive
arrangement. The subjects involved are these :
A commercial treaty extending the principles of
free trade ; a treaty of navigation ; a consular con-
vention ; a convention to protect literary rights ;
lastly, a convention relative to the right of suc-
cession.
