CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.  (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evening.  Calm reigns again in the political world of Paris, the Italian difficulty being considered as settled after the announcement in the Moniteur, for which I prepared your readers that in consequence of the wise policy upon which the Italian Cabinet had resolved it would not be necessary to send another expedition to Rome to support the Pope. Paris has put on its holiday aspect to-day, and half the population went to the station of the Eastern Railway to see the Emperor of Austria and his brother's party. They arrived at the time appointed, and the Emperor went to.the station to meet them. The procession, which was upon the same scale as that which did honour to the Emperor of Russia, proceeded across the Boulevard de Strasbourg, along the Boulevards to the Madeleine, from thence up the Rue Royale, the avenue des Champs Elysees, to the Palace de l'Elysce. Vast numbers of persons assembled on, all the line, and cheers greeted the Emperor everywhere. In addition to the fetes which I have mentioned in honour of the Emperor of Austria there is to be a grand review of the Imperial Guard and the First Corps d'Armee in the Bois de Boulogne on Friday. The anniversary of the birth of the Prince Royal of Prussia was celebrated with much pomp and marks of rejoicing on Friday last at Baden, where the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Baden, the Duke of Hesse Darmstadt and his wife the Princess Alice of England, went to meet the King and Queen of Prussia.  The arrangement concluded between Bavaria, Wurtemberg, the Grand Duchy of Baden, and Hesse on the sth of February last, at Stuttgard, stipulated that a military conference, composed of plenipotentiaries for the four States, should assemble at Munich in the following autumn, in order to complete the task which was proposed. In consequence the Bavarian Government has just invited the military representatives of the Southern States to assemble at Munich. No official account of the exact composition of the new Italian Ministry has been received in Paris, but I know from indubitable authority that the countermand of the order for the sailing of the expedition for Italy was only given upon the express assurance that the Italian Government would take care that no attempt upon the temporal power should be allowed.  Another sudden change in the weather, and not an agreeable one. It has been dull, cold, and gloomy to-day. The fog was very dense soon after sunrise. In the Upper Alps the cold recently caused much mischief. Last week the snow fell in large quantities, and a local paper says that so much snow was never seen there at so early a period of the winter in the memory of man. The sheep and oxen in the mountains died in large numbers, and a shepherd was found dead buried is the snow. In localities where the grapes had nct been gathered they have all been destroyed by the frost. Another presage of severe winter is derived from the appearance of vast numbers of wild boats at a distance of only about 20 miles from Paris.  The despatches and privets accounts from Rome are silent about Garibaldi. He has, I believe, escaped from Caprera, but ais whereabouts is not known. Indeed, as I said some days ago, his " game is up," and now few 'know where he is, and none care about either his cestinaticn or his pro.• jects. His last escapade was more foolish than his senseless and miserable display at Aspromonte. The following remarks of the Constitutionnel upon the happy solution of the Italian difficulty must excite sympathy and attention :—" Victor Emmanuel, so profoundly levoted to the cause which he represents, and the destinies of which have become more glorious at the same time as those of the Italian people, has understood that it was no less necessary for the honour than the interest of Italy to resist revolutionary passions. It was necessary to prove to Europe and to the whole world that.the Italian Government, in spite of the difficulties inherent to the formation of a now monarchy, had enough strength and power to cause international conventions to be respected, and to maintain order at home.  "King Victor Emmanuel has once more justified the confidence which his people placed in him, and has proved that, as a liberal Sovereign and a tried patriot, he will not allow legitimate power to be humiliated in his hands. It is to be regretted that the Ministry did not appreciate with the same importance the degree and the imminence of the peril which threatened Italy in one of the most difficult phases of its laborious transformation. Al. Rattazai allowed the opportunity to escape of becoming a great Minister." November has usually been considered as the orthodox season for sub/ides in England. In Paris it seems to commence in October, for within about a fortnight there have been at least ten suicides here by drowning, and various other modes. The mania is just now a prominent subject of observation with the Paris papers, one of which relates as an authentic anecdote that La Fontaine, Moliere, Chapelle, and Racine, after a joyous supper at Auteuil, had made up their minds to drown themselves in the Seine. They were, however, accidentally met at Passy by Boileau, who with some difficulty persuaded them to renounce their foolish intention. Mad they mu.st have been if they had fulilled their purpose, for truly and literally he who is found drowned in the Paris river is in Seine (inane).
