CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.  (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. It appears by further information from Italy, which may be relied upon, as it has been collected from official sources, that the battle between the Papal troops and the Garibaldians, near Monte Rotondo, was even more serious and sanguinary than first described. Garibaldi had 10,000 men under his command, of whom 800 were killed or wounded. They left in the hands of the Roman troops 2,000 prisoners, 6,000 guns, and 6 cannon. The Pontifical troops had 150 men killed or disabled.  Your readers should not place any confidence in the rumours and insinuations circulated by alarmist journals, as to differences between the, French and Italian Cabinets. The result of the impotent attempt of Garibaldi, and the change in the aspect of the Roman question is such that directions have been given by the Government to countenance the order for the departure of the third division of the French contingent, which was in readiness at Toulon to leave at any moment for Civita Vecchia. The conviction is spreading in Paris that the Roman difficulty is at an end. Marshal O'Donnell, Duke of Tetuan,who played in his time such an important part in war and politics in Spain, died on Tuesday, at Biarritz, from  typhus fever. He was 59. There was a Cabinet Council yesterday at St. Cloud, under the presidency of the Emperor. The Empress was present at the Council. Marie Sophie, ex-Queen of Naples, has just embarked at Marseilles with the intention of joining her husband, Francis the Second, who still resides at Rome.  The Paris papers to-day are remarkably "sober"  in regard to news or even inventions, that being the orthodox expression where the quantity of news to be imbibed is small. Failing in this they descant upon a supposed confusion relative to the exact name of the locality where the defeat of Garibaldi occurred. First it was called the affair of Monte Rotondo ; then it was described as the route of Tivoli ; now the battle is called the combat of Montana.  The Emperor of Austria was received with as much demonstration of affection at Wurtemburg on his journey homewards as at Strasburg. There was a grand dinner at the Chateau Royal, and a gala night at the Opera. Similar demonstrations were made at Stuttgard. On the occasion of the recent visit of the ConsulGeneral and Charge d'Affaires of France at Japan to the residence of Osaka, the Taikoun went on board the Admiralty frigate La Guerriere, carrying the flag of Admiral Roye. Such an act on the part of a Sovereign of Japan, hitherto unparalleled, was the occasion of a brilliant reception, in which the English ships in the roads of Osaka participated. Really Royal personages are very tardy in their correspondence, at least if one may judge from an official notification in the ilioniteur of to-day. Most people probably forget when King Otho of Greece died, it is so long ago, but it appears that it was only yesterday the Emperor Napoleon received the letter of the King of Bavaria ratifying the fact of King Otho's decease. Although the splendid new opera on the Boulevards is in an advanced state, and its fagade even now presents a majestic appearance, it is believed that the opening cannot take place until 1870. Should this be so, it will be a centenary anniversary of the opening of the opera of the Palais Royal, which was in 1770. That building was soon afterwards destroyed by fire. Another murder has been committed. The crime was committed at Lous-le-Saulnier, under the following cirumstances :—A young man of 25, named Laurent Prost, in the employ of Fevelat, a tin-plate worker, fell in love with his master's daughter, and on asking permission to marry her was dismissed. The murderer in a fury went the next day to M. Fevelat and renewed his solicitation. On meeting with another refusal he took a revolver from his pocket and shot M. Fevelat in the chest. Count Duchatel, formerly Minister of the Interior under Louis Philippe, has died in Paris after a long illness which was not supposed to be of a dangerous character, but death took place very suddenly. The Count was born on the 19th of February, 1803. He was a member of the Academy of Moral and Political Science, free member of the Academy of Fine Arts, and had the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. The Count leaves two children, Viscount Duchatel and the Duchess de la Tremoille. November is in a fair way of losing its character for gloom, fog, and suicide. The sun rose cheergy and brilliantly., and has not been obscured for a moment all day. The streets of Paris are as dry and as dusty as in the height of summer, but it has been peculiarly cold. The work of demolition at the Exhibition proceeds with astonishing rapidity and regularity. At this rate but a very short time will elapse when all that was of it will be like " the baseless fabric of a vision."  Some of the restaurateurs of Paris have lately been victimised to a serious extent, they having been robbed of silver forks and even silver dishes. A man named Edmond Moulin has been sentenced by the Police Tribunal to five years' imprisonment and five years' surveillance by the police for such robberies from the café restaurant of M. Bignon on the boulevards. It is supposed that the robber has carried on this game for seven months, during which time M. Bignon has lost articles of great value. The waiter detected him. While at sinner he pretended to read a newspaper, with which he covered a silver dish, and, watching his opportunity, put the dish in his pocket. He played the game once too often. Another customer dined at the same  time who had paid his bill. The dish was handed to him, and the accomplice made off with it. M. Gosselin, another cafe proprietor, has lost a great many valuable articles in the same way.
