CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM 'OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, WEDNESDAY, December 2.
A grand democratic manifestation was rumoured to be

projected for the 3rd of December, but nothing of the
kind is likely to take place. It was reported that a pro-
cession of democrats clad in' mourning would be organised,
and that the certain interference of the military would

lead to a serious disturliance. The authorities, it was
confidently urged, had already taken strategic
precautions against the possibility of such a demonstration.
Certainly, if any procession takes place to-morrow, it will
be contrary to all expectation, and cannot prove a very
formidable affair. The democratic leaders all condemn the

project. The Siecle hopes that the citizens of Paris will afford

no such pretext for the Government again "saving society."
There is, adds the Republican organ, a rendezvous which
no democrat ought to fail to attend : it is the electoral urn.
There the victory must be gained. "It would be very
bad strategy to, play the game of our adversaries at the
very moment when their repeated blunders are exciting
public feeling against them." Very true : the Siz',c/e and
the democratic leaders have done wisaly in condemning
this proposal.

Seflor Olozaga has Lad interviews both with Prince
Napoleon and M. Ronher. There is still talk of divisions
in the Cabinet. M. Rouher is represented as being sepa-
rated from his colleagues on account of his opposition to
the Baudin prosecutions.

Marshal de MacMahon, Governor-General of Algeria,
now at CompiZgne, is said to demand a sum of £120,000
to purchase food for the natives during the winter, in
order to prevent a renewal of the sufferings of last year.
Algeria is an unhappy colony. Military government,
and the natural inaptitude of the Frenchman for the
onerous post of pioneer of the desert, have rendered the
African possessions of France a complete failure. Nearly
one thousand French colonists have just left the country
in order to seek their fortune in the Brazils. The
"admirable centralisation, envied by all Europe," has not
cut a very creditable figure of late at home, but it is
systematically and invariably out of joint abroad.
In compliance with the intentions of the deceased Baron
James de Rothschild, the Baroness and children have, in
addition to the generous donations already made by them,
just sent £2,000 for the hospitals of Paris. The most
diverse statements of the fortune left by the great financier
are published, but an account from a good quarter says
that the income left to his widow is not less than £60,000
a year.

Garibaldi is said to be seriously ill at Caprera. This is
not the first time such an announcement has been made,
nor will it by any means be without precedent should it
prove false. Mazzini has been left in peace for the last
few days. Nothing is known of his condition.

The woman Jeanaeret, who was accused of poisoning
nine people in Switzerland, has lust been tried. The case
lasted several days, each separate murder being in.
vestigated. The court found the murderess guilty on
eight of the nine charges of poisoning. A plea of insanity
was set up, but failed, as it was proved that the
woman was in full possession of her faculties, and she was
accordingly sentenced to twenty years' hard labour.
