From Our Own Correspondent
PARIS, Tuesday, Nov. 81 1854.
Since the date of my last, the journals have
given cficial reports and private correspondence
containing details OF the terrible battle OF the
9Th. There is no very late official news from
the .eat of war. 4 Russian dispatch, received
here yesterday, and dated Sevastopol, Nov. ~
represents that the works Of the besiegers were
not advanced since the eth; that the lombard
nent continued-doiDg, however, only such dam
age in the day, as was repaired by the besleged
during the night. The Allies seem to hsve been
mainly busted, of late in defensive works The
assault, of eour.e, had not taken place: toe al

the Monitsar says, will soon arrive in sueh

French army in the Crimea- This Official article
refrsins from giving the exact humber OF troops
which the Government sends to the Eat but

were beginning to fear that the Allied Armies
will be consumed entirely by their losses II the

From tn, Baltimore dr0Ys

That another Filibusterng expedition Is on foot
within our borders for the invasion Of the ever
faithful isle Of Cuba, there cannot be the slight
est doubt. have just read letter from Gen John
A. Quitman commander of the invading force to a
gentleman in this city, wherein the plan Of opera ioUs
i distinctly set forth. In the first place the General
declares that il is especially desirable to evade sny
infrnction of the neutrality laws and to that end il is
essential that the expedition should be organized in
some locality adjacent to but outside OF our borders
The invading amy is 10 be composed OF five
thousand men-picked bloOds of the country
each man is to pay bis own expenses to the
place of rendezvous and to contribute fifty dollars
toward his own equipment. Some eieisnt eKofiiceIs
Of the L. s. Service engaged and thus organized,
a dercenti is 10 be made at some point near the Ha-
vsna where the Spanish deienses are strongest
thus by the very audacy of the movement, striking
terror into the tyrants who rule the destinies of the
Gem Of the Antilesl' However aodacous and
hair Drained this movement may appear IN the face
of the opposition which must be arTayed against it,
know TOO much of the Adventures concerned there
in to doubt that il is seriously contemplated. TIE
Administration though duly informed Of all that is
intended will probably, under the circumstances, be
powerless to prevent the serious consequences that
NAV befall.

| The SABBATH IN FRANcE.-A Paris letter
writer talks as follows: g 1t would be great
relief to see this Government, with its des-
potic power, arrested for one day whether
on the Sabbath or another, all secular en-
Payments, and all those immoral exhibit
lions which everywhere abound especially
on those days. 1t is well-known fact that
the emperor is, and has always been in favor
Of making the Sabbath day respected, and
strong movements have been making by
certain individuals Of influence, with appro-
baton, to bring on change in the public
mind on this subject. Circulars were distri-
buted, demanding from each family or man.
ufactory, how many persons in that family
or establishment were in favor Of closing
their shops and ceasing work on the Sab
bath. Yesterday heard a celebrated Cath
olic Able preach sermon on the, subject.
in which he pointed to the material and spir-
itual prosperity of England and the United
States as examples of the results of an oh
servance of the Sabbath day. The Emperor,
whose views and opinions were very much
modified by his long residence with the Eng
,lish, now openly expresses himself in favor
70 this moral change in the habits of French
peoble, but it is one of those changes which
even Louis Napoleon, with his rod of iron,
dares not thrust suddenly upon hiss ubjscts,
for you can take from true Frenchman his
political rights. the right of speech and al
most ofthought bnt when you take from him
his amusements, word that to him express
es many things not recognized in the ten
commandments, he begins to talk at once
abont crushed rights, strangled liberty and
barricadeso
