CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
Panis, Monday Evening.
In spite of the re-assuring accounts published by
the Spanish Government, it is clear from the pri-
vate informatio❑ received in Paris that the insur-
rection is spreading in Spain. The whole kingdom
has been placed under a state of siege. The revolu-
tionists have been defeated upon some points, but
in other places they have obtained marked success.
It is reported that General Pierrad has been driven
back to the French frontier, but the Liberal insur-
gents of Arragon have obtained a signal success.
Phe Regiment of Navarre was compelled to retire
and General Manso de Zuniga killed. This victory
of the revolutionists will probably lead to grave
consequences, and there is little doubt that one con-
sequence of it will be a rising en masse of the whole
of the Liberal province of Arragon, which has long
panted to obtain relief from despotism and oppres-
sion. In Catalonia most of the armed bands are
able to maintain their position in spite of the royalist
soldiers sent against them. Several engagements
have taken place, for all of which the Government,

of course, claims the success. One fact speaks
strongly for the alarm and anxiety of the Govern-
ment. The mail from Barcelona does not bring
either journals or letters, so it is pretty sure that
the Government has nothing favourable to tell about
Catalonia.

The papers continue to give various versions in
reference to supposed arrangements made by the
two Emperors at Salzburg. Whatever may be the
amount of truth which they contain, they have led
to an almost general impression in Paris that they
are the prelude to important events.

The Gazette of Northern Germany, the organ of
M. Bismark, refers to the reports circulated by the
Paris papers, and characterises the idea of a private
understanding between France and Austria as a cir-
cumstance which threatens to put au end to the
maintenance of peace. A similar tone is adopted
by the other Prussian journals.

In reference to these rum )urs and arguments the
Siccle remarks :

"It is impossible to dissimulate that the con-
clusion of an alliance, having for object to inter-
fere iu the internal affairs of Germany, would be
considered beyond the Rhine as direct a menace of
war as possible. The abstention of Wurtemberg
and Bavaria, which were represented as ready to
throw themselves into the arms of France and
Austria, has excited particular remark. Whether
from prudence or from German patriotism, the

Governments of those two States have abstained
from taking any step which might be considered
unfavourable to the policy of Prussia. Many
politicians consider that the situation of Austria
ought to inspire the Emperor Francis Joseph with
great caution and reserve. If Austria were to go
to war she would risk even her existence for the
vain hope of resuming a preponderance in Germany,
which circumstances have taken away from her.
France could go to war even against a coalition
without endangering her national existence or the
integrity of her territory. Austria would run the
risk of disappearing in the midst of such a -Melee.
The Emperor and Empress left Paris this morn-
ing for Lille in order to be present at the coming
splendid fetes there.
The Moniteur states that the disorders which
took place at Tetuan have not been renewed,
thanks to the energetic measures adopted by the
new Government. Several of the assassins have
been arrestcl, and Jews cto now go out of the
town without any fear of being molested.
luteresting news has been received in Paris from
the French colony of Senegal. According to
accounts from Gorec, dated August sth, the im-
portant fact had become known of the death of
Alaba, the famous Marabout, who, f)r several years
past, has given so much trouble, both to the French
anti English troops in that locality. Recsmtly
repulsed in his king lam of Itip, he returned
and attacked the French ally, the King of Sine,
but, surprised by a violent tornado, all his powder
became wet. Informed of this fact, the King of
Sine made a snd len attack upon Maba's army while
he was drying his munitions, and completely routed
him. 2.laba was made prisoner and beheaded. The
King of Sine sent his head and foot to Goree as a
proof of his death. It is to be presumed that as
the bands are now deprived of their chief they will
disperse, and leave the people who resida in the
country between Goree and the Casamance in tran-
