CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
Pants, Thursday Evening.
The Moniteur publishes correspondence from
Florence, explaining the conditions of peace signed
at Vienna on the 3d inst. between Austria and
Italy. The treaty contains 24 articles and one
additional article. The chief points of the treaty
have been mentioned. The great result is, that
" perpetual peace is concluded between the Em-
peror of Austria and the King of Italy." Austria
consents that the Venetian provinces shall be united
to the kingdom of Italy. The former treaties be-
tween Austria and Sardinia, and particularly the
treaty of commerce of 1851, come again into opera-
tion for the period of one year, which will enable
the contracting parties to make fresh arrangements.
The regulation of the railways in Venetia which, it
appears, delayed the termination of the negotiations
for some days, is reserved for the present. Austria
undertakes to restore, without exception, the works
of art and public documents belonging to the esta-
blishment or archives of Venetia, as well as the
iron crown of the ancient kingdom of Lombardy,
which became, under the first empire, the emblem
of Italian nationality. There is a special clause
which removes the sequestration upon the private
property of the dispossessed Italian princes, reserv-
ing, however, the rights of the State or of third
parties who may allege claims upon it. The
account adds that the way in which the treaty is to
be carried into effect will very shortly be explained.
The High Court of Justice was to meet to-day
(Thursday) to try Admiral Persano for the course
he adopted at the battle of Lissa. The chief article
of the accusation against him is that he left at the
moment of the fight the Admiral's frigate the Re
d'ltalia and went on board the ironclad ram the
Affondatore. Admiral Persano has published a
pamphlet, in which he enters into various details
and arguments, with a view to justify the course he
adopted at the battle of Lissa.
The official journal, pursuing its comments and
explanations of events from its latest information,
says that tranquillity is completely restored at Pa-
lermo, and that the news of the conclusion of peace
was received with patriotic enthusiasm throughout
the island of Sicily. The cholera was on the decline
at Naples and Genoa, the two cities where it had
chiefly prevailed. The mortality, however, was
still considerable.

A letter from Copenhagen in the iloniteur states
that the Queen of Denmark will shortly go to Eng-
land, where she will stay a long time as the guest
of the Prinqess of Wales. Her Majesty will be ac-
companied by her youngest daughter, the Princess
Thy ra.

I mentioned yesterday the terrible affliction
with which the young Empress of Mexico has been
visited. She has returned to Trieste from Rome,
accompanied by her brother, the Count de Flandre,
and is said to be much better. The Count went in
all haste to see his sister immediately on the receipt
of the afflicting news.
The Siecle says it has received information from
which it can rely, that the Austrian Government
does not intend to appoint M. Beust as Minister of
Foreign Affairs. It adds, " The former Minister
of the King of Saxony is, without contradiction, a
statesman of the highest value, but he represents
essentially the old German policy, and his entrance
into the Cabinet of Vienna would be considered as
an indication that Austria was about to recommence
the struggle against Prussia and New Germany.
We receive the news with pleasure (adds the Siecle)
as a proof that the Hapsburgs have renounced the
idea of again playing a part in Germany.
The Journal des Debats says it has received a
report from Vienna to the effect that the King of
Saxony had consented to deliver the fortress of
Kcenigstein to Prussia. The Debats translates
rather a long report of Mi. Bright's speech at
Leeds, and remarks, as a wonder, that the pacific
Quaker did not advocate brute force in that speech.
" This fact," it says, " should be noted." The
Debats appears to appreciate John Bright very
accurately. His fire and brimstone speeches recall to
recollection the anecdote of the Quaker who hap-
pened to be on board a vessel when an engagement
was about to take place with the enemy. The
friendly and pacific Quaker would not fight, but
when a sailor attempted to board the ship, he thrust
him into the sea with the marling spike, saying
" Keep to thy own ship, friend."
Great satisfaction will be felt everywhere at the
news which I am able to communicate, that the Em
peror is restored to perfect health, and is able to
take long walks in the vicinity of Biarritz.

The weather to-day has been very cold, gloomy,
and foggy. It has been more like December than
October.

Wine of
.this year's vintage is now on sale in the
wine shops of Paris, and is pronounced to be of the
average quality. The vintage has proceeded in all
the wine countries. In the Chalonnaise district the
wine exceeds by a quarter the produce of last lyear,
but the weather is inferior. In the Maconnais the
produce is 45 hectolitres per acre. Last year it was
only 30. The quality there is also somewhat in-
ferior. In the Beaujolais the wine produced is both
plentiful and good. The Courrier de l' Ain says that
in some of the wine countries there have been such
quantities of wine that it was difficult to find barrels
to contain it.

The lnvalide I?asse published at St. Petersburg,
the official paper of the Russian Empire, contains
some particulars respecting the construction of the
electric telegraph between America and Siberia by
American engineers. It says that to judge from the
indefatigable exertions made, the telegraphic works
between Siberia and America will be concluded in
three years. Travellers have to cross a desert of
6,000 werstes in vehicles drawn by dogs, and that the
cold is sometimes at 35 degrees of Reaumur. There
are no houses where they can find shelter for the
night. Of course they must take their provisions
with them.

THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY.
One of the local statutes passed in the late Session was
yesterday issued, granting additional and various powers
to the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company to
acquire land, for extending the line, and for completing
certain works. In one of the schedules there is a copy of
an agreement betweenthe Apothecaries' Company and the
ritgyfa7 191 the pluchom 91 property.
