CORRESPONDENCE PROM PARIS.  (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, SUNDAY, November 15. The Bourse was gloomy yesterday. After-enjoying a remarkably long term of existence in the salubrious regions above 70, Rentes threatened to fall below it, and have narrowly escaped. The events of the day are unusually unfortunate for the Second Empire. First there is Lord Stanley's speech at Lynn, which, however just and statesmanlike, is by no means welcomed here. 1 The telegraphic summary was considered so unfavourable that some of the papers, it is said, received invitations from a certain quarter to hold it back and wait for the full text. It was feared that the case of the article from the Journal de St. Peterthourg might be repeated. The full text, however, is even more disagreeable than the summary, and has served only to produce a stronger impression. The speech clearly announces that, in case of a war between France and Prussia, England would remain an interested but not an active spectator. This is no news, but other tokens go to shew that France is left alone in Europe. Baron Beust's circular to the Austrian Ambassadors disclaims any warlike signification in his rpeech to the military committee ; and it has beendivulged that France has made Rome a present of 20,000 rifles—an action which can hardly meet with a favourable reception lln Italy. It would not be inappropriate, as the inderenVance] Beige observes, to draw up a fourth map pf Europe, in which all the nations on the Continent are represented by shades more or less dark of hostility or defiance to France. Lord Stanley, however, said something much more obnoxious. The excitement here has been caused chiefly by the assertion, which is true enough, that Prussia has nothing to do but bide her time in order to fully accomplish 'her political unity. This, then, cry the indignant Parisians, is the evil of England's media'ion in the interests of peace. The British Government wish to bring about 2,ientente cordiale between France and Prussia, but the on y mode by which it is proposed lo accomplish that difficult task is by granting Prussia all the benefits and exacting from France all the concessions! Lord Stanley has fallen greatly in French estimation as a political mediator. His Prussian " sympathies," as they are called, are deemed unpardonable. The Gaulois, too, has managed, by its incredible conspiracy announcement, to do the Governrent considerable harm. Not only did it state that the Baudin agitation really emanated from he authors of a widespread conspiracy, but it has persisted in supporting this statement, notwithstanding facial denials. The new journal is to be prosecuted for publishing false news, but, whether real or imaginary, its ' conspiracy " has had the effect of causing much alarm. come well-informed people say that the question of this lot was raised first by M. Pinard, the Minister of the interior, at the Cabinet Council of Thursday. M. Pinard tepresented France as intersected throughout by the ramif cations of a vast democratic league, the aim of which pas and is to try again the test of the 2nd of December, which placed the present r!gime in power. The Ministerof the Interior is said to consider the situation as a very grave pne, but he did not affirm, as the Gaulois did, that a plot tiad been discovered. It is added that the discussion was very animated, and that M. Pinard offered his resignation ; but if he did so it has been refused. Another rumour is to the effect that a plebiscitum will shortly be taken, with the view of again securing to the Emperor the powers which were conferred upon him in 1852, and abrogating 11 the concessions of the 19th of January and the 24th of ovember. These statements, particularly the last, must e taken cum magno grano, but they spew how great is the feeling of dissatisfaction at the manner in which France is tow governed.  Lastly, there is the Baudin affair itself. The journals are flied with immense reports of the trial, the judgment alone teing a report in itself. It wholly sets aside the prime argu. pents of the Opposition, that such a prosecution was pithout precedent, that it really came under no law, that publishing a subscription was not a manoeuvre, and that the demonstrations in the cemetery, whatever might ie their illegality, had no connection with the act of the gewspapers. The court deliberated long, but its reflection could hardly have been more than a farce. This rosecution would never have been carried so far in he face of a possible acquittal. As it is, it difficult to see ow the Government can claim to have gained a victory in his unfortunate affair.  The deaths amongst men of influence and fame have been very numerous during the last day or two. Baron amen de Rothschild has followed Rossini and M. Havin. e was the fifth and last surviving son of Meyer-Anselm, he founder of the great house. He was born May li 5, 1792. He settled in Paris in 1812, and was Pie head of the financial establishment in that city with which his family is connected. He was married to a daughter of his brother Solomon, and has a son, Edmund, ivho in 1856 espoused his cousin, a daughter of Baron Lionel de Rothschild, of London, who, being the son of Nathan de Rothschild, is the nephew of the deceased laron.  M. Navin, the proprietor of the Silcle, was neither a food writer nor a good speaker, but he occupied an influtntial position as the owner of the most widely-circulated paper in France. After the revolution of February he was elected to the Constitutional Assembly, the first in a list of fifteen.  Rossini will be buried at the Madeleine. All the artistes of the Paris opera will be present at the last ceremony.  Another strange suicide. A gentleman of the name or Paulin has destroyed himself by enveloping his head in linen soaked in a large quantity of chloroform. An extraordinary poisoning case will shortly be heard at Geneva. A nurse is charged with having poisoned no less than nine individuals committed to her charge. Not the slightest pretext for these murders has transpired.  ti
