CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS..  (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)  PARIS, Sunday Evening. There was a Cabinet Council yesterday at St. Cloud, at which the Emperor presided. There is no news of importance to-day, foreign or domestic, and not a word about Italy in the itloniteur. Indeed the Moniteur is crammed today, as yesterday, with diplomatic documents which would fill volumes, an analysis of which I must reserve for another day. Its report of the proceedings in the Chambers yesterday is so extensive as to preclude the admission of any miscellaneous matter. There was nothing of importance in the Parliamentary proceedings. The French public seem to take more interest just now in the proceedings of the Fenians than in their own affairs. An account of the execution of the three men at Manchesteris published in the papers to-day, and is the absorbing topic of comment and attention. Several writers presage great difficulties for England consequent upon the present phase of the Fenian demonstrations. They do not seem to understand these men were executed for murder, and not because they were Fenians.  The Lower Prussian Chamber is now occupied with the motion of M. Lasker, having for object the abolition of the proceedings taken against the Deputies Twesten and Frentzel, charged with having defamed the official authorities, and with the completion of a law giving a full interpretation to Article 84 of the Prussian Constitution, which would confer upon the National Chambers the privileges of inviolability enjoyed by the members of the Reichstag. It, seems very doubtful whether the law will be adopted. The Saxon Chamber has terminated the general discussion upon the financial Budget of 1868-1869. The budget of the Minister of Foreign Affairs was agreed to in all its details. Yesterday a very useful and benificent arrangement for the benefit of the poor of Paris was commenced. An apparatus was established in various districts for cooking, the chief expense being borne by the Imperial Prince. These cooking kitchens are called farneaux economiques of the Imperial Prince. The poor can have a wholesome and copious repast for five sous, or twopence halfpenny, consisting of a plate of soup, a plate of cooked meat, plate of vegetables, rice soup, and bread, that is to say each for a sou.  The bureaux of the Legislative Body have  mously agreed to the two requests to make interpc7l- upon the subject of the late expedition to Rome, and the maintenance of the temporal power of the Pope. The request made by M. Jules Favre for permission to put questions relative to the foreign policy of the Government was agreed to by eight bureaux out of nine. The request relative to the application of the laws regarding individual liberty and the general internal policy of the Government was rejected by six bureaux against three.  Tho English papers lately gave an account of the murder of a M. Blum in the street at San Francisco. M. Isaac Auguste Blum was a Parisian, formerly a pupil of the Polytechnic School, and a man of great scientific attainments. He wrote several works connected with algebra and mathematics. In 1848 he was an ardent and zealous Republican, and his political manifestations led him into some trouble. Ile founded a journal called La Science, which entailed pecuniary difficulties, and he was imprisoned at Clichy. When the creditors of M. Blum became tired of keeping him in prison he went to Russia and obtained employment as an. engineer on the railway, by which he soon retrieved his bad fortune. From there he went to California, where he obtained so much gold as to become very rich. At the time he was murdered he had 50,000 f in gold and notes about him.  The Municipal Commission of Albano have presented an address to the Pope, protesting energetically against the Garibaldian invasion, and expressive of their sentiments of love, fidelity, and veneration towards the Holy Father. The Academy of Fine Arts have elected M. Labrouste to the place vacant in the architectural section.  Up to the present time the Government has not received any official ac.lount of the adhesion of the Pope to the proposed Conference. It is believed that his Holiness will consent to it under certain reservations.. According to a Berlin paper, Prussia takes the same view of the Conference as England. According to the monthly statistics published by the municipality of Paris, in the month of August, there was only one completely fine day, and it rained throughout eight entire days. The number of births in that month was 4,636-2,400 boys and 2,236 girls. The number of deaths was 3,3681,949 males and 1,719 females. The number of births, therefore, exceeded that of the deaths by 968. The number of marriages in the month was 1,601. Of these persons made happy by law, 208 were not able to sign their names to the contract which consolidated their happiness. -In the month of September there were only three entirely fine days, and there were 14 rainy days. In that month the number of births was 4,345 ; the deaths were 3,554. They included 48 suicides. The number of marriages was 1,365. Thirty-two of the men and 130 of the fair brides could not write their names. The march of intellect progresses but slowly in some cases. But, however, if these persons had been more enlighened perhaps they would not have decided upon marriage. The sun rose this morning with as much brilliancy as was ever seen in the height of summer. All day we have had uninterrupted sunshine and a magnificent blue sky. When the Emperor of Austria was in Paris, his Majesty was particularly struck with that portion of the Palace of the Luxembourg which faces the fountain de Medicis, recently under restoration. These were the apartments of Marie de Medicis, where the memorable events of the Day of Dupes took place. A gentleman connected with the Palace mentioned some historical facts to the Emperor which deeply interested his Majesty. In 1630 Marie de Medicis came to reside at the Luxembourg, and Cardinal Richelieu occupied the Petit Luxembourg at the same time. King Louis
