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 procession'of democrats clad in:mourning would be organised, and that the certain interference of the military would lead to a serious disturbance. 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 Slide and the democratic leaders have done wisely in condemning this proposal.  Serior Olozaga Las had interviews both with Prince Napoleon and M. Rouher. 'There is still talk of divisions in the Cabinet. "M. Rouher is represented as being separated from his colleagues on account of his opposition to the Baudin prosecutions.  Marshal de MacMahon, Governor General of Algeria, now at Compil•gne, 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 £OO,OOO 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 Jeanneret, who was accused of poisoning nine people in Switzerland, has just been tried. The case lasted several days, each separate murder being investigated. 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.
