CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.  (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Tuesday Evening. The Marquis de Banneville, the newly-appointed Ambassador for France to the Helvetic Confedera..  tion, presented his letters and credentials to M. Knusel, the President of the Confederation, on Friday last. In doing so, the Marquis made a speech, in the course of which ho expressed " the constant and unalterable friendship of the Emperor to Switzerland." I-fe proceeded to say :—" Placed by the public right of Europe beyond the vicissitudes which have modified the international condition of several neighbouring States, Switzerland increases daily in her internal prosperity, without having any fear for her independence, and thus she has the right to be jealous of the advantages secured to her by her respected neutrality, because she knows and practises the duties attached to it." In conclusion, the Marquis said it was the desire of the Emperor to develope more and more the relations of good neighbourhood. M. Kunsel, in the name of the Federal Council, expressed sincere thanks for the sentiments of constant and unalterable friendship professed by the Emperor, and proceeded to say :—" The Swiss Confederation proclaims spontaneously and under the shield of the public right of Europe, the principle of strict neutrality. Consequently, it avoids any interference with the questions agitated in Europe which modify the territorial limits of countries. But it expects in return that no State will think of making any attack against its autonomy, its independence, and its interests." After bearing testimony to the efforts of the last ambassador, M. Turbot, to increase the cordial relations between the two countries, the President, in conclusion said—" As there exists on both sides the best intentions to consolidate still more the good ' understanding now existing between the two States, the t hNtF,tiehtdhoeis:ea al i nfteewntdiCounciloany ssdwtohielesl whole eho otrlecelaooliutf3bettdh e.f or an instant who were at Rome will be again on"FFrench troops terr ' tory.

The 69th Regiment had left Rome, and the frigates Mogador and Labrador, the Seine and the Intrepide, are at sea with orders to bring back the rest of the troops. Thus the long-agitated point of the occupation of Rome by French soldiers may be considered as solved.  The artists of Paris have lent their aid to the project of founding a Conservatoire at Rouen, to be called the Institute Boieldieu. Rossini recently wrote a letter to M. Malliot, of Rouen, one of the chief promoters of the institution, in which he expressed his desire to contribute " to the success of a musical Conservatory in the country of my friend Boieldieu."
