CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FRO3I OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Sunday Evening.
The Moniteur states that the Emperor has received
the letter by which his Excellency Don Joaquin
Perez notifies to his Majesty his election to the Pre-
sidency of the Republic of Chili. _

The Italie contains the exact details in reference
to the journey to Rome of M. Tonello, to fulfil the
mission which was previously intrusted to M.
Vegezzi, which he is not able to execute in con-
sequence of ill health. M. Vegezzi having declared

Liat the state of his health rendered it impossible for

him to go to Rome, Commander Tonello has been
appointed to execute the task instead of him. M.
Tonello, now a Councillor of State, was professor of
canon law. His special knowledge, his moderate
opinions, and his conciliatory character,' naturally
pointed him out to the choice of the Government.
He was to leave for Rome on the 7th or Bth, ac-
companied by M. Maurizio, who has been connected
with the preceding mission. As to the instructions
gWeu to M. Tonello, the Government is not dis-
posed to insist upon the oath of the bishops and
upon the exequatur should those formalities inter-
pcse any obstacle in the way of an arrangement.
It appears from the statement of some of the other
Italian papora that the journey of the l'opo to Civit:i
Vecchia, which wm to have taken place on the sth
of this month, was countermanded at the latest
hour.

M. Berthemy, formerly Minister Plenipotentiary
of France in China, and recently appointed to the
same post at Washington, embarked yesterday "at
Havre on board the General Transatlantic Com-
pany's packet Pereire for his distination. M. Ber-
themy accomplished almost the whole of his diplo-
matic career in the United States, where he will no
doubt be received with affectionate recollection.
The Vienna Gazette announces that the Italian
Government intends to construct vast maritime
establishments in Venetia, and that the commission
appointed with this object has already commenced
its labours, and has carefully inspected the arsenal
of Chioggia and the dependent localities.
According to the last news received in Paris
several districts which had been in insurrection had
submitted, and the insurgents had returned to their
homes. The Caimakan of Candia, who had made
an official tour of inspection, had been cordially re:
ceived by the various populations. Quantities of
arms had been surrendered. The account concludes
by stating that there was perfect tranquillity
throughout the Empire.
The Archbishop of Paris, M. Darboy, has issued
a mandement respecting the affairs of Rome and the
position of the Pope. It is a calm, dignified, and
conciliatory document, expressing full confidence
that the rights, privileges, and power of his Holiness
will be protected. The Archbishop seems to be
of opinion that if there should be any attack upon
the spiritual or temporal power of his Holiness,
France would again interfere to support him. The
Archbishop says :—"Should there be any attempt
by popular revolution to abolish the temporal
power of the Pope, would not this be for
France the signal to return, and for the great
Powers of Europe to regulate by a Congress the

fate of the Roman States, upon the basis accepted
by them all, of the maintenance of the temporal
power of the Holy See ?" The Archbishop then
discusses at some length the hypothesis of perfect
and entire reconciliation between Italy and the
Pope, and intimates that the church in its maternal
condescension would make any sacrifice to establish
concord, if the sacrifice should be compatible with
the principles of honour and good government.
Several of the Paris papers agree in the statement
that the Emperor Maximilian will arrive from
Mexico in Europe about the 20th of this month.
A letter from Vienna states that Count de Bom-
belles had left that capital for Gibraltar to accom-

Maximilian via New York was dated Nov. 23. It
was sent from Vera Cruz or Orizaba to New Or-
leans by steamer on the 16th or 18th November.
In this despatch the Emperor mentions the wish of
the medical advisers of the Empress Charlotte that
he should come and meet her in the latter half of
December, at some port of the Mediterranean, where
the packet will touch which will bring him to
Europe. At the date mentioned, therefore, the
Emperor Maximilian had quite made up his mind
to depart. It was also mentioned to be the wish of
the Emperor that no more letters or despatches
should be sent to him to Mexico after that time. _
Preparations are in progress which remind the
Parisians of the season. Fashionable parties are
numerous, and the first carnival opera ball is an-
nounced for Sunday next.
There have of late been many accidents from fire-
arms. On Friday last a newly-married young lady
at Jouy-au-Josas (Seine et Oise) took a fancy to
clean a revolver pistol belonging to her husband.
Unfortunately it was loaded with ball. The move-
ment affected the trigger, and the pistol went off,
the ball entering the brain. The lady, who be-
longs to one of the chief families of the town, died
almost instantly.
Balague, the man who, it will be recollected, was
convicted at the Court of Assize of the Ariege for
murdering his sister, was executed on Friday at
Foix, in pursuance of his sentence. There was an
enormous crowd.
