FROM PARIS.  (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, THURSDAY, June 11.  Though the Emperor is at Fontainebleau, he is not taking bis holiday. There is constant telegraphic communication going on between him and his Ministers, and yesterday I courier went down with a large portfolio full of papers. Before the Emperor left Paris he went to see a new apparatus for raising vessels. A barge was sunk at Courbevoie, and the machine, consisting of two cylinders, worked by divers, brought the barge to the surface in seven minutes. The affair was superintended by M. Dupuy de L6me, Director-General of Naval Construction. This is likely to prove a very useful invention. A certain Dr. Bollentuit, superintendent of a hydropathic establishment is endeavouring to carry out Ft scheme for bringing sea water to Paris. He believes that he can carry the water from the Channel to Paris at a very small cost, and have it laid on to every house just as ordinary water is. His object in starting this idea is to obtain for our nearly two million inhabitants the great therapeutic advantages which he believes are to be derived from the use of salt water.  The news from Belgrade is very serious, and at present we do not know what to make of it. There is a suspicion that Russia is at the bottom of the affair, but at present the Paris journals withhold their comments, desiring to have further details before they express an opinion. Meanwhile, we have information from the neighbouring country of Roumania, which chews how unsettled is the condition of all the Danubian Provinces. A little while ago the Austrian Government endeavoured to persuade ours and your to unite in insisting upon the withdrawal of a certain document published by Stephen Golesco, the Prime Minister, which the Vienna Cabinet considered offensive. Thereupon Prussia interposed, and declared that such pressure would stultify Prince Charles in the eyes of his subjects, and that the most serious consequences would result. I fear that after the murder at Belgrade we shall hear of further complications.  A Vienna paper vouches for Prince Napoleon's pacific tendencies. He is credited with desiring the unification of Italy and the restoration of Poland. But it is added, that he sees the time for these changes is not come. There is certainly a good deal of agitation among the Poles just now, and they seem to think that before long they will be able to utter something more than pitiable complaints against the outrageous oppression of the Russian Government.  The Brunswickers are just now debating who shall be their next sovereign. The general impression seems to be that they will unite themselves to Prussia, but that the connection between them and King William will he, as in the Duchy of Lauenhurg, only a personal one. Perhaps they won't be consulted in the matter any more than the Hanoverians have been.  We hear the last of the Tunisian difficulty to-day. The Bey completely " caved in." Ile wrote a letter to our consul expressing his extreme regret at the temporary suspension of diplomatic relations, and his formal adherence to the financial convention, whereupon up went the tricolour, and all was harmony again. The Moniteur is likely to come into the law courts. The Government wants to transfer it to M. Plon, the Imperial publisher, but the present personnel claim a large compensation, declaring that the official journal belongs to them, whereas the Emperor and his Ministers consider it to be Government property. According to present appearances the dispute will have to he decided by the judges. M. Henri Rochefort is said to have sold 80,000 copies of the first number of La Lanterne, and thereby to have made £640. If he go on at this rate, he will be getting over £30,000 a year. It is rumoured that he has been wounded in an encounter with the Prince of Moskowa, but I believe there is no foundation for the report. A hairdresser is the fortunate winner of the great prize of £6,000 in the lottery for the Enfants Paurres. Much amusement was caused in the Corps L6gislatif by the appearance of the lucky man in a k t Ate of high excitement. He would come to see his deputy, and insisted upon the honourable member going off with him in < r ler to obtain payment of the money forthwith. As the elections are close at hand, of course the deputy went, amid the laughter of his colleagues.
