CORRESPOI\DEVCE FROM PARIS,

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PAras, Wednesday Evening.
The news to-day from Spain is important, and
entirely confirms the information I gave yesterday,
that the present movement is an organised plan to
overturn not only the Government, but the
dynasty. General Prim has issued proclamations,
in which he openly avows his intention, and says

the oppressions and miseries of the people can only

-- - -
be removed by the adoption of another system and
- -

,he destruction of the despotism of the Govern

ment. The Spanish Ministry intercepts the cor

respondence, Co that it is difficult to have accurate

information from Spain ; but the Gironde, a
Bordeaux paper, which has peculiar sources, gives
the following interesting details :
"The movement of the 15th of August had been
long in preparation. We knew on the 14th that

the revolution was about to take place, and we
knew that for several days previously exiled
Spaniards had gained the frontiers, ready to begin

a movement at a given signal. We now know that
General Prim, who was said to be in London,

entered Aragon on the 16th with au armed troop
of 150 men, with the assurance of support from
Jacca, a garrisoned city. Our first information,
confirmed by the accounts this morning, revealed
to us that the plan of the insurgents was to take
possession of the telegraph for two or three days,
so that no news should transpire. Under these
circumstances, the favourable accounts given by the
Government will have no sort of value."
From other accounts, it appears that the band,
which had been concentrated on the Eastern
Pyrenees, are under the command of General

Contreras. It is stated, on good authority, that a
large portion of the Spanish army are inclined to
support the present important movement.
The number of visitors at the Exhibition on
Monday was enormous. Such was the ardour of the
thirsty souls that at one establishment where real
German beer is sold the cellar was emptied, and it

was difficult to allay the excitement of the visitors
when they became acquainted with the fact. Thirty
hectolitres of beer had been drunk before 1 o'clock.
'• You have no more beer, then," said a thirsty cus-

tomer to the waiter. " Oh, yes," replied the waiter,
"‘ we have plenty, but it ,is at Strasbourg. We.
have telegraphed for it, and it will soon arrive by
the express train. \Vait a little longer."
A lady of high rank, the Countess Dunin-Won-
sowierz, has just died in Paris, who had nearly at-
tained her 100th year. She was the granddaughter
of Stanislas Auguste, the last King of Poland, and
niece and sole heiress of the celebrated Prince
Poniatowski. The countess was much attached to
literature, and in former days her soirees were at-
tended by persons eminent for intellectual acquire-
ments. She was first married to Count Potocki,
and, after a few years of widowhood, she married
Count Wonsowierz, formerly aide-de-camp to Napo-
leon the First, by whom she leaves a son, Count
Maurice Potocki. The two children by her first
marriage are dead. It is said that the Countess has
written some very interesting memoirs, which will
be published.
An old soldier of the Empire, named Armand
Bertrand, has just died at Libourne, in the Depart-
inent of the Gironde, in his eighty-second year.
lle was at the battle of Leipsic. In 1814 i.e crossed
the river Eisler at the same time as the unfortunate
Prince Poniatowski. Bertrand held out his hand
to save the Prince, but the current was too rapid,
and the Prince was drowned. Many French sol-
diers perished in their rapid flight across the river.
A letter from Florence, dated Aug. 17, says that
the cholera is at Leghorn, which is so near to the
former city that a general panic has been created.
Leghorn is the Dieppe of Italy, where bathers g(
large numbers during the season. The epidemic
was serious at Albano, but it no longer exists there.
At Rome the average number of deaths is 20 a-day.
At Palermo the average number a day is from 200
to 300. There are some cases at Naples. The
cholera spreads in Sicily.
Another frightful suicide has been committed
