CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.  (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)  PARIS, Wednesday Evening. The Monitcur to-day publishes some of the long despatches between France and the United States upon the subject of Mexico, but I do not see in them any important fact which is not already known.  The following is all that the ilioniteur contains in regard to Spain. In the provinces of Barcelona and Tarragona the insurgents have almost entirely disappeared. There was no longer any doubt in Catalonia that in a few days the country will be entirely tranquil. The Siècle says, in reference to the most recent of these despatches :—" The French Government is actuated by the same sympathies as the Government of the United States. It establishes a distinction I between the right of war which it has adopted, and the principle of intervention, for which it professes the same doctrine as the United States. \% ithout ambition, without any other thought than that of protecting French interests, France will recall the -e_veditionary corps as soon as it can with dignity for herself and safety for the people." The yellowbook, containing the documents in question, consisis of 226 pages. The documents amount to 120. A woman of 32 years, named Jeanne Leveque, has been tried before the Court of Assize, at Nantez, for the murder and mutilation of a male child to which she gave birth. It was proved that she boiled the body in some soap suds, and then cut it into small pieces, thrusting them into a barrel of vinegar. She admitted the fact of having given birth to the child, and, indeed, indicated the spot where the mutilated remains were found. She, however, persisted that the child was dead when born. Various experiments were made with the remains by medical men with the view, if possible, to ascertain whether the child had ever breathed. The jury found the prisoner guilty, but with " extenuating circumstances," and she was sentenced to hard labour for 20 years. I cannot ascertain' from the evidence one single extenuating circumstance, but French juries are very clever in discovering them. Perhaps one extenuating circumstance was that the woman endeavoured to preserve at least a portion of the child by putting it into vinegar.  M. L. Reveliene, formerly a deputy for the Loire Inferieure, and one of the editors of the Univers, has just died at Paris in his 91st year. A young actress, Blanche S _ , has committed suicide, not exactly for love, but for money, at least that was her explanation, for she left upon the table a piece of paper on which was written, " I poison myself because my lover cannot keep me any longer." She was the mistress of a gentleman who told her the other day that in consequence of reverses he could not afford to give her so much as he had done. Blanche passed Sunday night with her lover, and partook of supper, as it is stated, with a very good appetite, but in the course of the night he was awoke by her groans, when she soon expired. She had swallowed a large dose of mercury (corrosive sublimate), and died in great agony. While the doctor who was called in was attending to his patient the gentleman inflicted a serious wound upon himself with a knife which was on the supper-table.  In addition to the blue and yellow books, two other important documents have been presented to the Chamber of Deputies--the project of law for the supplementary credits of 1866. These documents were—the ordinary budget, 8,531,183 f. ; extraordinary budget, 76,276,005 f. It is stated that the iron-clad frigate the Huescard, built in England for the Peruvian Government, and which recently sailed from Plymouth for Brest, is to be detained in the latter port until the differences between Spain and Peru are settled, of which there now appears to be some prospect.  There were some incidents in the career of the late Prefect of Police (Gisquet) which I think will interest your readers. He was born of poor and
