CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Friday Evening.
The following is from the bulletin of the Moni-

teur :

" We learn by a private despatch from Vienna
that the Emperor Francis Joseph left that city yes-

terday afternoon for Brunn, from whence he will

continue his journey in the provinces which were
the scat of the late war. Count Wimpffen had left
Vienna for Berlin, where he will represent the Court
of Austria.

" By an Imperial decree, dated the 14th inst., the
Diets of all the provinces of the Austrian Empire,
with the exception of the Diet of Hungary, are
convoked for this day (the 19th). In an autograph
letter of the Emperor, sent on the 17th inst. to the
Chancellor of Hungary, the reason for the tempo-

rary adjournment of the meeting of the Ilungarian
Diet is stated to be the extension of the cholera in
Hungary. At the same time, his Majesty, in his
letter, requests the Chancellor to adopt measures in
order that the meeting of the Diet may take place
as soon as there shall be an amelioration in the state
of health in the country."

" Charity begins at home" in France, and it often
roams abroad from thence. The Moniteur contains
more than four closely-printed pages of the names
of the charitable donors to the fund for the relief of

the sufferers by the inundations. "Their name is
Legion." The total amount announced is 857,775
francs. All classes subscribe.

Within the lae.t few years the Emperor has lost
several dear relatives and faithful servants. Another
is just added to the melancholy list. M. Thouvenel,
formerly Minister of Foreign Affairs, died at the
Luxembourg yesterday, after a long illness. Ile
was only 48. M. Thouveuel wore the Grand Cross
of the Legion of Honour, and was Grand Referen-

daire of the Senate. This eminent Stltesman was
successively Minister of Foreign Affairs at Munich,

Director of Political Business at the Ministry a

Foreign Affairs, Ambassador of France at Constan•
tinople, and then Minister of Foreign Affairs at

Paris.

The Moniteur, in announcing the death of M.
Thourenel, says :—" We shall confine ourselves
to-day to the announcement of the loss which
the Emperor and country have sustained by the
death of the eminent statesman who, called to exe-
cute the highest functions by his rare talents and
the elevation of his character, attracted universal
sympathy. The name of M. Thouvenel, with
which is associated the recollection of the annexation
of Nice and Savoy, will ever be connected with the
most legitimate and honourable regret."
The German papers draw very favourable in-
quiries from the conclusion of peace between Aus-
tria and Italy. The Debats of Vienna says :—" We
perceive with satisfaction that the tenour of the
treaty justifies the best hopes for the future of Aus-

tria and Italy. It does not speak of the nature of
the relations between the two Governments, but it
strengthens the ties which will bind the two peoples
in solid union. It is true that the treaty only con-
tains general promises, but from those contained in
the treaty of peace with Italy the conclusion may
be drawn that a new era will be inaugurated for our
foreign policy."
The Constitutionnel states that, according to letters

from Constantinople of the 10th inst., the Sultan
was at first disposed to break off diplomatic rela-
tions with Greece, but upon consideration he aban-
doned the idea of adopting this extreme measure.
Popular demonstrations had taken place in favour
of the Cretan insurgents before the Hotel of the
Foreign Legations. General Kalergis had defini-
tively refused to accept the appointment of the
chief of the insurrectional movement. The accounts
add that there was every reason to believe that the
energy of the Ottoman Government and the legiti-
mate wishes of the population would lead to the
establishment of tranquillity and peace.
A remarkable death from anger has occurred.
A carter of Gentilly, 62 years of age, went into a
wine-shop,there and was served w ith a chopine (about
a pint) of wine. He called for a second chopine, after
having drunk the first, but the landlady refused to
serve him, believing that he had not money to pay
for it. This so enraged him that he jumped up with
clenched fists and foaming mouth to strike the
waiter, but, reeling round, he fell upon the floor,
and was instantly dead. Medical assistance was
called in, but it was useless. The deceased had an
affection of the heart, and the surgeon was of opinion
that his death was caused by passion.
I understand that the departure of the Emperor,
Empress, and the Imperial Prince from Biarritz
will certainly take place on Sunday. The Royal
party will not stop at any of the stations, but on
their arrival at Paris will proceed to St. Cloud,
where preparations have been made for their return.

some various
of
the Paris papers, as to the proposed occupation of
Home by Austrian troops after the withdrawal of
the French forces. It says, "If Italy respected
Rome, it was because France was there and because
Italy had obligations to fulfil towards France. The
object of the Convention of September was to place
the Pope in the presence of his subjects, and the
Italian Government undertook to prevent or sup-
press all external attack against the present terri-
tory of the lloly See. The idea that they would per-
mit any other Power than France to keep a garrison
at Rome is simply absurd."
The cholera continues to prevail with some in-
tensity both at Boulogne-Sur-Mer and Marseilles.
The rain has not persevered to-day, and we have
had gleams of sunshine. Upon the whole, it has
been a rather dull day, but warm.
The conductors of the Paris papers often take a
long time to consider before they give an opinion
upon passing facts and incidents. It is only to-day
that the Monitenr has a biography of the Marquis
de Boissy, who died at Londeciennes on the 26th
of September. It speaks " trumpet-tongued,"
1, however, for the genuine liberality of the French
