CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Friday Evening.
The deductions drawn by the Illoniteur from the
telegrams and private letters are chiefly confirma-
tory of the facts I mentioned yesterday. All the
fresh information is that the head-quarters of the
King of Prussia are still at Zwitt in Moravia, and
that the invading army will continue it march
directly upon Brunn and Vienna. An engagement
has taken place between the advancing army and
the Austrian posts. In Bavaria there have been
obstinate struggles for two days between the troops
of General von Folkenstein and those of Prince
Charles. It is the valley of Franconian Saale which
is the scene of this struggle, concentrated princi-
pally around Kissingen. This town, in peaceful
times, is thronged with visitors, who take the waters
for the benefit of their health. Now, alas ! it is the
scene of carnage and desolation. The Saale is the

northern confluent of the Maine. The Bavarians
appear to have displayed great energy and solidity,
but after alternations of success and defeat, they
were compelled to abandon the territory to their
adversaries.

Prince Alexander of Hesso continues to make
preparations of defence around Frankfort, and this
commercial town is likely soon to become the theatre
of military exploits. An attack from the Prussians
is constantly expected, but it may be delayed from
obstacles thrown in the way of General Folkenstein
on his march.

The Italian fleet, which a few days ago was at
Ancona, has put to sea, but nothing has yet been
heard of its operations, which appear to have the
object of supporting in the Adriatic the army of
Cialdini on the Po. The Italians have an immense
army ready to enter *Venetia, but the military dis-
positions of Austria in regard to this province are
not yet known. The wound of Prince Amedee does
not excite any uneasiness. Tile cure proceeds satis-
factorily He has received various demonstrations
of public sympathy. It is feared that General
Durand() will have to undergo amputation.

Paris papers as anything but pacific. For instance,
the Avenir National says:—

"The situation of affairs becomes complicated.
The acceptance of the mediation without an ar-
mistice is only a vain form. The Italians are
acting in Venetia, the Prussians march upon
Vienna. All this does not betoken a speedy peace.
Then the mission of Prince Napoleon Jerome to
Italy is definitively abandoned. Another warlike
indication is that the ironclad frigate La Provence
and the corvette Eclaircur have left Toulon for

According to the Debut, of Vienna, the head-
quarters of the Austrians is at Olmutz. In spite
of the serious losses which they have sustained
the effective of the Austrian army of the north
amounts to 200,000 men, and they have also a
formidable park of artillery.

from them for several years.

Violent thunderstorms continue in different parts
of France and Savoy. A day or two ago a farmer
at Champagnes (Savoy) was following a cart laden
with hay, driven by two of his 'servants. He car-
ried his pitchfork over his shoulder, and the prongs
attracted the lightning, and struck him dead in-
stantly. The servants were not aware of the fata
occurrence at the time, and they thought he was
lying down to rest, the day being exceedingly sul-
try. A woman, however, who was passing by soon
afterwards perceived the corpse, and gave the alarm.
There was no mark of injury except a tumour upon
the forehead caused by the violence of the fall on
the ground. One of the farmer's shoes was torn
in half. The other was detached from his foot, and
was found at a few paces distance.
A new feature in the journalism of Paris is that
neither the morning nor the evening Moniteur now
has a stamp. How this is managed I cannot ex-
actly say, but the other papers are by no means
pleased with the partial exemption.
Count de Beust, Minister of Foreign Affairs in
Saxony, has arrived in Paris, and has had a long in-
terview with the Emperor.

Kossuth, the former Governor of Hungary,
has
issued a very long address, which has been exten-
sively circulated throughout that country. It was
issued prior to the cession of Venetia, but that fact
does not at all modify the great principle which it
is intended to enforce. Kossuth calls upon his
countrymen to take advantage of present complica-
tions, to break the bonds definitively which attract
llungary to Austria. It is altogether a violent and
democratic document,
in full conformity with the
well-known views of the General.

There are women among the Garibaldian volun-
teers. A girl of 17 enrolled herself at Como, under
the name of Antonio DeMore. She wears the
Garibaldian uniform, and is treated in every respect
as the men. She has given proof of her strength
and courage in forced marches, and in carrying her
musket and cartridge-box. She is ender the care
of a sergeant, her countryman. Every one re-
spects her, and is ready to defend her.
The Journal des Debats, remarking upon the pre-
sent position of Austria, says it constitutes the com-
plete overthrowal of the Germanic Confederation,
which was reconstructed in 1815 Nvith the only ob-
ject of fettering France and the Revolution. The
Debats is very favourable to Prussia,
she represents progress, and that Austria would re-
trograde. and says that

A letter from Prague states that this capital of
Bohemia was occupied on Sunday last by the Prus-
sian brigade of Gen. Rosenberg amidst demonstra-
tions of joy and respect. The General was received
with extreme courtesy, and the Prussian troops en-
tered Prague, maintaining the strictest discipline.
The Siecle comments with some severity upon the
