CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.  (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Friday Evening. The Moniteur in its bulletin says: « The Federal Council. of Northern Germany wil meet in a few days at Berlin. Prussia will be re  Presented by eight members, among whom, in addition to M. de Bismark, Federal Chancellor, will be Generals De Padbielski, De Pueben, and Messrs. De Ponimer, Esche, and Philippsbon. The Saxon Government will be represented by M. de Priesen, Minister of Foreign Affairs, whose post will be filled in the interim by Baro❑ de Falkenstein, the President of the Council.  " On the 29th of July a treaty was signed at Berlin between the two Governments of Prussia and Saxony for the construction of a railway between Leipsic and Zeitz, by way of Pegau. Zeitz is already connected by railway to Gera, a rather important manufacturing town in the principality of Reuss.  " Duke Christian, of Ilolstein, and the Princess Helena, of England, his wife, are now on a visit to the Court of Saxony."  Lord Lyons has left Constantinople for Paris to assume his functions as Auabassador:from England. Great preparations have been made at the English Embassy, in the Faubourg St. lionord, for his reception.  The title of Federal Chancellor, recently conferred upon Count de Bismark, gives an influence of great importance not only for Prussia but for the whole of Germany. According to the Constitution the powers of that high dignitary are much greater than those of a mere Minister. The Chancellor is the only real executive power of the Confederation. It is he who appoints all the Federal functionaries, and receives their oaths in the name of the Confederation. Alone he forms with the King the Federal Government. It is he who presents the proposals made by the Federal Council to the Reichstag, who promulgates the Federal laws, who superintends the execution of them by the Federal States and their functionaries, and who is also charged with all that the Presidency sends back to him under the head of " Superior Director." This is an extraordinary position, which would not have existed if the Reichstag had succeeded in creating a Federal Ministry. The King of the Belgians has left Brussels for Ostend, where his Majesty will stay several days for the benefit of sea-bathing. The Queen of the Belgians has returned to Tenueren to stay with the Empress Charlotte of Mexico. The private accounts respecting the Empress represent her to be in a listless and melancholy condition, and very indifferent to passing events. The Emperor has Mt Paris fur the camp at Chdons, where he will remain for a week. The King of Sweden and the King of Portugal took leave of him at the station. His Majesty was accompanied by General Fleury, Generals de Failly, Le Beeuf, and other officers. Her Majesty and the young Imperial Prince will go to the camp onThursday next. His Majesty's fete will be celebrated by the royal family at Chalons. The Emperor after that day will leave for Salzbourg, where he will arrive on the 18th to meet the Emperor of Austria. The Emperor and Empress will travel in strict incognito. On his return from Salzbourg the Emperor will go to Baden Baden to have an interview with the King of Prussia, the latter Sovereign intending to stop at Baden after his return from the waters of Ragatz, in Switzerland. The Sultan has returned to Constantinople, where  appreciated, for, in addition to gold medals given to the establishment, one of its chiefs has been de.-ervedly rewarded with the cross of the Legion of honour. If all employers were to act like these amiable and enlightened gentlemen there would be very few " strikes." Upon various exceptional occasions—for instance, when provisions become unusually dear—they spontaneously increase the wages of their workmen. Of all the wonders of the Exhibition their department is pronounced by all to be the most wonderful, and the arrangements they have adopted for the comfort and prosperity of their workmen in the precious metals deserve to be recorded in letters of gold. negotiations between France and the holy 11 'The See for a literary convention have been attended with success, and a treaty of that kind was signed on the 21st of July by M. Sartiges, on the part o France, and by Cardinal Antonelli for the Pope. It is expected also that the two Governments will agree to a treaty of commerce and navigation. The Emperor has Sent a letter to the Marquis du Chasseloup Laubat, President of the Geographical Society, with a sum of 50,000 francs towards the expenses of the French expedition to the North Pole, which I described. Ilis Majesty also expresses a hope for the success of the expedition, " so interesting for science and so deserving of the greatest encouragement." The Russian Prince Nicolas Tabowski has committed suicide at Turin.
