CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.  (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. According to the appreciation of the Paris papers, founded upon the despatches and private letters from Italy, the return of Garibaldi to Caprera has only had the effect of suspending the revolutionary movement in the Pontifical States for a few days. It appears that an insurrection has broken out in the province of Viterbo. At Acquapendente the barracks of the Pontifical gendarmes were besieged by a band of insurgents. The Journal de Rome says that armed bands had appeared at Canino and on several other points of the Pontifical territory. Some engagements had taken place between the insurrectionists and the Pontifical troops. There were some killed and wounded.  The Siecle, which appears to be well informed in regard to news from Italy, has some remarks worthy of attention upon the subject, but it always speaks with a strong bias against the Pope. This prejudice, however, is not so strong as to induce it to disclose facts. The Siecle says : The news of these events cannot fail to produce a profound sensation in Italy. If the insurrection should only be sustained for a few days, the Cabinet of Florence will, in spite of its resolution to maintain the execution of the Convention of September, 1866, find it impossible to prevent young Italy from rushing to the assistance of the Roman patriots.  " The Florence journals announce that most of the persons arrested in consequence of the manifestations provoked by the arrest of Garibaldi have been set at liberty. There is no doubt that the others will also be set free.  " The Italic of Florence affirms that the Italian Government has sent to its diplomatic agents in foreign countries a note relative to the present position of the Roman question in consequence of the late events."  Ths Siecle then refers to the important corresl  traffic the section of the line from Flers to Vire, a branch of the main line from Paris to Granville. A  few days ago, when the official inauguration took place, the Bishop of Bayeux formally pronounced his benediction upon the station, the engines, and the carriages. The line, when finished, will traverse a very picturesque portion of Lower Normandy. A frightful murder has created consternation at Lambersart, in the Department du Nord. A widow lady named Lescan, aged 83, was assassinated in  her house on Sunday last. The assassin or assassins, knowing that her children and servants were gone to Mass, entered the house and cut her throat with a knife. A sum of 500 f. and various portable articles of value were carried away.  French barristers are sometimes rather facetious and concise in their arguments. At a trial of an Arab soldier, named Mohammed-on-Said, before the Council of War at Algiers, the counsel for the  prosecution contented himself with a very few words to the Court in support of the prosecution, and finished by the remark—" Mohatntned-ou-Said has  his place reserved for him at 'the hulks. I hope, gentlemen, that you will not allow it to be vacant.'  The counsel for the prisoner was equally brief. lle said " Said is innocent, and the really guilty man is beyond your power." The prisoner, who  was charged with various acts of swindling, was  convicted, and was sentenced to ten years hard labour, a fine of 3,000 f., and the restitution of the  amount obtained by swindling.  Yesterday was a perfect summer day. The sun shone uninterruptedly all day, not a cloud was to be seen, and it was very warm, although the fields  were covered with frost early in the morning. To• day the weather has veered round to winter. II has been dull, cloudy, and very cold, with occa•  sional rain.  Two theatrical artists of some note have died this week. The wife of M. Villaret, the tenor of the Opera, who plays under the name of Mdlle. Godfrend, and who was only married three mouths ago, has succumbed after a short illness. Mdlle.  Eleonore has died very suddenly. She was at her  duties at the DelasseEnents C'orniques only a few  hours previously. The monument erected to the Virgin Mary at Sainte' Barbe, near St. Etienne, was inaugurated on Sunday last by the Archbishop of Alby. It is in the architectural style of the 13th century, and is the work of Montagny.
