CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.  (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. The German papers received in Paris to-day, as well as the Paris journals, attach much importance to the present aspect of affairs in Germany. The simultaneous departure of M. de Goltz and M. de Budberg, the former for Berlin and the latter for St. Petersburg, is supposed to have connection with some arrangements between France and Austria, and it is asked whether Prussia and Russia are likely to adopt any energetic measures in opposition to the desires of the two former  Powers. The Ost Deutsche Post, a journal of some influence, supposes that the basis of a new arrangement may be the cession of Venetia to the kingdom of Italy for a consideration, which France will undertake to provide. It is admitted by the official Paris papers that the administrative reform suggested for Venetia has excited considerable opposition in that country, and that public opinion is generally against it. Letters from Vienna affirm that the Venetians still believe in the possibility of regaining their national independence. There is a schism in the management of the Presse, and M. Emile de Girardiu, the editor in chief, and Messrs. Duvernois and Vermorel retire. According to the generally believed version, M. Emile de Girardin advocates more energy and liberalism, and the committee of management are afraid of any course which might by possibility entail the interruption of the publication of the paper or its suppression. M. Emile de Girardin has been " everything by turns and nothing long," and I for one am not astonished that the proprietors should fear any sudden impulse in favour of rash radicalism which might endanger their property without being of any service to the cause of real liberty. Accounts from Chili state that the blockade of the coasts of Chili is now reduced to the blockade of the two ports of Valparaiso and La Caldera. The frigates the Ville de Madrid, the Blanca, and the goelette Venedora blockade Valparaiso. The  Numancia, the Berenguela, the Marques de la Victoria, and the Matias Cousiuo, blockade la Caldera. A skirmish took place on the 27th of December, in the roads of Caldera, between the Chilians and the Spaniards. The armed boats of the Numancia and the Berenguela succeeded in entering a creek, and took possession of the Chilian steamer Corbalau ; but a company of infantry kept up a powerful fire, and compelled the boats to abandon the steamer, which they had taken in tow. ' According to the latest news, the commerce of Chili 'has resumed its usual activity. A report was in circulation at Panama that several Spanish trading vessels had been captured by Chinn corsairs.  Au English three-masted steamer is now under the surveillance of the authorities of Brest, in consequence of her having on board munitions of war. The name of the steamer is not mentioned.  A man named Joyard has just murdered his wife at the little village of Sauvian in the departmilt of the Herault. They had been separated about a year in consequence of the brutal character and jealousy of the husband. The woman, however, is said to be of irreproachable character. The husband, who had often threatened his wife, returned to her a few nights ago and inflicted several mortal wounds upon her with a chopper. The darkness of the night favoured his escape, but the police of Beziers obtained a clue to his place of retreat. He had shot himself near the house with a double barrelled pistol. He discharged both bagels into his head.  M. Camille Doucet has assumed his seat in the Academie Francais° in the room of the late Count Alfred do Vigny. The audience was very numerous, and M. Doucet made a brilliant and appropriate speech, in which he passed a high eulogium upon de Vigny. lie said that Chatterton and Stello were always for M. de Vigny his works of predilection. M. Jules Sandeau followed in a strain of similar eulogy of Count de Vigny, and proceeded to express his admiration of the beautiful comedy of M. Doucet. lie analysed the chief of  these comedies " Les Ennemis de la Maison," "La Chasse aux Fripons," and "Ea Consideration," and said that they seemed to revive the genius of Corneille. The election of M. Prevost Paradol will take place on the Bth of March, when M. Guizot is expected to make a speech on the occasion. Among the marvels of the Great Exhibition of Paris will be an aquarium -10 ft. deep.
