OUR PARIS LETTER.

(TROY ova OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, SuNDLT Evierniro.

It is rumoured that the Crown Princess of
I'rus.ia will, towards the end of the autumnal
seen u, pass a week at Compiegne. The Empress,
the story is, when she got hold of her at St. Cloud
the other day, would not let her go without con-
ditionally promising to accept Ler hospitality.
Should circumstances not prevent the visit, the
Crown Prince will doubtless accompany her royal
highnos.
'lhe sth of November is at present fixed for the
depurtine of the court for Compiegne.
1 hol e we are not going to be cheated out of
the Martinmas summer, which often brings the
most enjoyable Paris weather. Frost, alter-
nated with heavy rains, characterises the end
of this October, for which the great heat
of several preceding months was not a
good preparation. Chest and throat diseases
are this week prevalent. Rossini is among those
suffering from inflammation of the respiratory
organs, in .Lis case complicated with fistula. The
F °verity of the attack, which occurred on the vary
day when he was to have quitted his Passy villa
for his winter residence in the Chaussee d'Antin,
alarmed his friends. In addition to his private
physician Dr. Bonet°, Drs. Nelaton and Barthe
were called in. The bulletin they issued last night
announces a diminution of general fever and of
local inflammation.

A singularly worded paragraph in the .Itmitertr
and other papers announces that " the mother of
M. Alexandre Dumas the younger " died this
week at Neuilly. The author of " Monte Cristo "
generously tries to secure for his son the reputa-
tion of greater literary genius than himself, but
tLis is the first instance I remember of the Paris
press giving the pas to Dumas fits.
Marshal M•Mahon arrived in Paris yesterday
from Algeria.
An alarming accident happened while the
Emperor was out shooting at St. Germain on
Thursday. One of the keepers accidentally shot
the Duke de Caumont La Force, who was close to
his Majesty at the time. Fortunately the wound
was not serious.

The Sernaine Religieuse, of Paris, which is pub-
lished under the control of the Cresu, says that in
consequence of the expulsion of the Jesuits from
Spain, three hundred Spanish members of the
order have, within eight days, taken refuge in
France. They are billetted in the Jesuitical con-
vents at Lyons, St. Etienne, Toulouse, Castro,
Bordeaux, Limoges, and Bourges. None of the
refugees are allowed to come to Paris. Upwards
of 230 have been sent to Li4e and Namur, where
the followers of Loyola have flourishing houses.
M. Pasteur, a very learned member of the In-
stitute, bad an apoplectic stroke on Friday while
he was reading a paper to the society. Ho was
carried home in a dangerous state, and it is feared
will not recover.

M. do Meienier, tho Russian consul in Paris,
died last week.

Tho Diable d Quafre affirms that the now silver
money issued instead of the coins called in con-
tains lees silver than the old, and that a profit of
no less than 130 millions will be inado by tho
operation. It wants to know who gots this largo
sum. M. Cornmuniva will probably chargo him-
self to answer this impertinent question.

A serious accident has occurred in Now York
upon the railway ;crossing the Hudson River. The acci-
dent was caused by a broken rail. The train ran off the
tack, and the carriages were greatly &usage& Three
persons were killed and 30 wounded.
An Italian line of steamers, intended to touch
at the Mediterranean port and then proceed to New-York,

_ .
is about to be established. The object is to oonvri
Italian fruits rapidly to the United States, a trade greatly
on the increase.

Germany is likely to bo blcaaod with a uniform
and decimal coinage, the want of which has been felt for
a long time by the banker down to the most humble tra-
veller and trader. The delegates of the Chamber of Com-
merce at Berlin have demanded a unification of the coin
of the North German and Premien States, and Austria is
understood to desire to come into the arrangement. The
French coinage is to be imitated. _

A cheap book, designed for the people,
" The Secret Memoirs of Queen baba," has met with a
prodigious sale at Madrid, and is one of the most humilia-
ting picture. ever held up to public execration.
It is said that Marfori is an Italian, but the
Italians do not appear to be very proud of him. Be is a
mark for the witticisms of the satirists who write In the
small journals of Florence. When some of the jests upon
him wore repeated before Victor Emmanuel, he remarked,
"That gallant has done us good service in getting Queen
Isabella dethroned. The Pope may curse him, but,
wastrels mkt though he be, he is an excellent subject of
ours."

GREENCASTLE, OCT. 26.—The Allan steamship
Austrian, from Quebec on the 17th, arrived in Lough
Foyle at 4.10 a.m. to-day. She landed mak 34 cabin, 72
steerage passengers, and 297 troop.

•• nurcrit 1111(10 TO SPAIN.
M. Victor Hugo has addressed a letter, dated
Oct. 22, to the people of Spain. In it he says:
There is a nation which, for • thousand years—from
the sixth to the sixteenth century—was the finite Europe,
the equal of Orme in epoposia, of Italy in art, of
Fiance in philosophy. This nation had its Leonidas
in relaglns, and its Achilles in Cid. It began
with Viriathus, and closed with Riego. It had
its Lepanto, as Greece had its Salamis. Without it
Corneille would not have created Tragedy, nor would
Columbus have discovered America. It is the unconquerable
country of the Awe lino, protected by its geographical
position almost as completely as Switzerland. It had
forest meetings contemporary with those of the Houma
forme, where the people ruled twice in each month—at
the period of the new and full moon. It had its tastes
in Lion 70 years before the English had • parliament in
London; it had its Tennis-court oath in Medina-del-
Campo, under Don Sanchez. As long back as 1183 its
tiers rtat was dominant in the "odes of Bode, and a single
city, Saragossa, sent fifteen deputies to the National
Assembly. In 1307, under Alfonso HI., it proclaimed
the right of education: in Aragon it appointed
an individual named /wiles superior to the man
called ling. It established in opposition to the
throne its formidable sieve no. It refused taxes to
Charles V. At its birth it held Charlemagne in check, and
Napoleon when it was expiring. This people had its
diseases, but it was no more dishonoured by its monks
than is the lion by its vermin. They wanted but two
things—to get rid of the Pope and to get rid of the Ring.
In navigation, in adventure, in industry, in invention, in
colonisation, it was another England with less of isola-
tion and more of the sun. It had its captains, doctors,
poets, prophets, heroes and sages. This nation had its
Alhambra as Athens its Parthenon; its Cervantes as
France its Voltaire. The soul of this great nation spread
so much light on the world that a Torquemada
was aequired to put it out. Over its jet the
Pope has put his tiara—an enormous extinguisher.
Papirm and absolutism joined hands to ruin the nation ;
its light was turned into flame, and the pyre was spread
over the land. The smoke of this ?wined"ro has been for
three centures the hideous cloud of civilisation, and—the
burnings over—it might have been said—these ashes were
the patios. From these ashes the nation has arisen.
What is a myth in the Phenix is true of • nation. The
nation has arisen. Will it arise grand or little That is
the question. Spain can reassume its rank —become the
equal of France and England. The opportunity of Pro-
vidence is immense, the occasion unique. Will Spain
neglect it Another monarchy on the continent! For
what Spain the subject of a King, who is himself the
subject of ether powers. What a degradation: Besides,
in the present age, to set up a monarch is to
give one's self a great deal of trouble to little
purpose. The decoration is going to be changed.
A republic in Spain would be a" have a care" in Europe,
and " have a care" pronounced in the ear of kings would
mean peace; it would mean France and Prussia neutra-
lised ; it would mean the impossibility of war between the
military monarchies owing to the mere presence of the
revolution—a muzzle put on Sadowa as ou Austerlitz—
the perspective of butcheries supplanted by the perspective
of labour and wealth, the ('hussepot abandoned for the
Jacquard ; it would be the equilibrium of the continent
established to the detriment of fictions by the weight of
truth in the scale ; it would be old Spain regenerated by
the young force— the people; it would be from a com-
mercial and mercantile point of view, life restored to that
double coast which ruled on the Mediterranean before
Vc nice, and on the ocean before England ; it would be in-
dustry reigning where misery now crouches ; it would be
Cadiz the equal of Southampton, Barcelona the
equal of Liverpool, and Madrid the equal of
Tarim. It would be Portugal united to Spain
by the mere attraction of civilisation and prosperity.
Liberty is the magnet of union. A republic in Spain
would be the pure and simple declaration of man's
sovereignty over himself—a sovereignty that is indisput-
able and that cannot be submitted toile test of majorities
and minorities ; it would be production without a tariff,
consumption without a custom-house, circulation without
%letter. the workshop without proletarianism, wealth with-
out parasitism, conscience without prejudice, speech
without • gag, law without lying, force without
an army, fraternity without Cain ; it would be labour fur
all, education for all, justice for all—the scaffold for
none; it would be the ideal made real, awl as there is
a swallow which leads the way, there would be a nation
an exemplar to others.
As to danger, there is nine. Citizen Spain is Spain
strong. Spain democratic is Spain a citadel. A republic
iu Spain would be probity in the administration, truth in
the government, liberty in power ; it would be sovereignty
made real and unconquerable. Liberty is tranquil
because it is invincible, and invincible because it is conta-
gious. It seizes him who touches it. The army sent to
attack it reacts on the despot. It is therefore left in peace.
A republic in Spain would be to the horizon the irradiation
of the true—a promise for all—a menace only to what is
evil ; it would be this giant-Justice upright in Europe
behind the barricade of the Pyrenees. Spain a monarchy,
Spain is little: Spain a republic, Spain is grand. Which
will she choose

A singular accident lately occurred to Lieut.-
Colonel Diver, commanding the light cavalry in Poona.
Ile was at a children's fete, distributing presents from a
Christmas tree.when something fell upon his out-stretched
arm and mapped the bone above the elbow.
Tus kasiticas Cwams.—Notwithstanding the
curt contradiction given by the 01o6e to the statement in
the Lady Nile*, "that it has been agreed between Lord
Stanley and Mr. Reverdy Johnson that the respective
claims of British subjects and American citizens arising
out of the Southern rebellion shall be determined by an
international commission, composed of an equal number of
British and American membere, we are assured that the
important announcement is sub-dantially true; inasmuch as
the approval of the American government is alone required
to render the arrangement between Lord Stanley and
Mr. Reverdy Johnson complete. We have also reason
to believe that Lord Stanley is willing not only that the
British and American claims arising out of the late civil
war in the United States shall be adjusted by a mixed
communion, to sit in London," but that he is also willing
to submit to the arbitration of the Emperor of Russia the
knotty question " whether the sailing of the Alabama
from Liverpool was or was not • breach of international
law." Should the Czar decide in the negative, the United
States will withdraw the so-called Alabama claims. In
the contrary case, these claims will be examined and ad-
justed by the mixed commission, which will sit in either
case for the adjustment of the other "outatzading claims."

PUBLIC WORKS AT BRCSSELS.—The proceed-
ings in reference to the English company formed for the
purpose of carrying on certain public works in Brussels
concluded before the Correctional Tribunal on Thursday.
The tribunal was presided over by M. Vlemiuckx ; the
other judges were MM. Harmignies and Knopff. It is
understood that the judgment of the court will be deli-
vered during the present week. Among the variaus wit-
nesses examined on Saturday iu reference to sums which
they were promised by the original promoters of the com-
pany was a gentleman named Keymolen, who had a claim
against them to the amount of 8.0001. for "an idea."
The President having asked him what services ho had
rendered to the company, he replied with amusing
gravity—" Since 1863 I conceived the idea of a new
Bourse. This idea has very much occupied my thoughts,
sad cost me much labour and expense. It was for the in-
formation I gave on this subject to the concessionaires
they allocated to me the 8.0001." "Did you make plans:"
asked the president " Oh, no," solemnly answered the
witness; •• they paid me for the conception of the idea."
There was much laughter at this, the president observing,
"That, indeed, was a valuable idea." The depu -pro-
cureur, not believing that 8,000/. could be promised for a
mere •• idea," interposed with this question, "Did
you plan the Bourse r' The reply was, " Oh,
dear, no • but the ides of the site was mine."
The witness added that Doulton and Swann sent him
the undertaking for the 8,0001. after a short interview
with him, in which nothing was said about payment.
"Then," observed the deput-proeureur. " this engage-
ment to give you 8,000/. fell down from Heaven
" Yes," mildly replied the witness. " Come, now." said
the president-''yon are a man advanced in years, and a
serious man. How, then, can you prams to think that
for nothing those men gave you an undertaking to pay
you 8,0001. r With an expressive shrug of the shoulders,
and • persuaidve waving of his hands, M. Keymolen re-
plted Well, you know, I have always understood that
the English are very eccentric in money manes." This
caused such • roar of laughter that the judges had to
threaten to clear the court.
THE RAW/TB:WAKE AT PERU ANP ECUADOR.—
Sorriantir Rasa rtlND.—The contributions to the
fund during the past week have exceeded 6,0001., includ-
ing • dcsm from H.R.H. the Duke of Cambridge, and
• sum of 6001. from the Corporation of London. This
liberality of the public will enable the committee to remit
• further sum for immediate distribution among the ruined
survivors of this almost unequalled visitation. It is a re-
markable fact that at Anon and Iquique heavy losses
have fallen upon our own countrymen.
