CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, WEDNESDAY, September 30.
The death of Count Walewski was remarkably sudden.
The countess, whose health had long been of the most
indifferent kind, fatigued by a long railway journey, had
been conducted to apartments in the hotel at Strasbourg,
her husband assisting in carrying her upstairs. The count
was in perfect health, and gave orders in his usual tone of
voice. As soon as they entered the suite of apartments pre-
pared for them, the Count Walewski placed his wife in an
arm-chair, and thenwent into the next apartment to change
his attire. Suddenly he called to his eldest daughter, Mille.
Elise, " A glass of water ; a doctor—quick !" fell back
into an arm-chair, and immediately expired. The efforts
of three doctors were of no avail. Few premonitory
symptoms had manifested themselves. It had been
remarked that the count had increased greatly in bulk of
the last few years, and he was constantly troubled with
bleeding at the nose ; but nothing occurred which might
lead to apprehension of death. The loss of the deceased
statesman is universally deplored. All the journals bear
tribute to his qualities of mind and heart, and to the
great services which for twenty years he has rendered the
Imperial Family. The Monitcur says : "In order to esti-
mate the loss which the Emperor and the country have
just sustained, we have only to remember the elevation of
character, the variety of aptitude, and the distinction of
address which had created for Count Walewski a special
situation, and which, in the various functions he has
successively filled, have always obtained for him universal
sympathy. The name of Count Walewski, to which is
attached in history the recollection of the Congress of
Paris, over which he presided, will remain surrounded by
the most legitimate and most honourable regrets."
The news from Spain makes up in importance what is
lacking in detail. The reign of the Bourbon dynasty is at
an end. When the general confusion subsides some-
what, we shall probably get full particulars of
the revolution which has probably changed the
destiny of Spain ; but at present the news, considering the
magnitude of the events is very meagre. It is clear, how-
ever, that the country has been invaded at all points, that
the people and the troops have joined the movement, that
Novaliches has been defeated, the Concha Ministry has
resigned, and that a new Government has been esta-
blished. Queen Isabella has been forsaken on all sides.
The Gironde says, that of three vessels which accom-
panied the Queen to San Sebastian, but one remained.
This was anchored near the royal residence, so as to
be in readiness when wanted. On the morning of the 27th
the Queen thought she might find some amusement in
watching the mancsuvres of the ship and the work of the
sailors. The vessel was nowhere to be seen. The captain,
in accordance with orders received, not from the royal,
but the insurgent headquarters, bad weighed anchor
during the night, carrying off the Progressist Ocha, who
had secretly come to Bayonne with two nephews. The
captain left a letter behind, stating that " honour de-
manded that he should follow the example of the rest of the
Spanish navy, and he had therefore departed to join his
companions at Ferrol." The Queen on receipt of this news
gave way to an excess of rage, so violent that even Senor
Marion had some difficulty in calming her. The sinking ship
has in fact been abandoned on all sides ; even Concha dis-
covered that it was time to "rat." The greatest difficulty
is found in obtaining news of General Prior's movements.
The most trustworthy intelligence announces that he was
at Almanza, about 90 or 100 miles from Carthagena.
Thence he was likely to move forward to Catalonia, his
native province, where he possesses great influence.
But military movements are now of little importance ;
there is nobody to fight. The regulation of the
government is the important question. The Govern-
has given itself its own death-blow, if any were required,
by the execution of Senor Vallin, on the order of Colonel
Cavallos-Escotera, nephew of the Count de Cheste. This
step has alike horrified and enraged Spaniards of all
classes. The Government is fully alive to the danger of
this first crime of the civil war, but it is now too late to
repair it. Vallin was on his way to Madrid from Anda-
lusia when be was taken and shot without trial or investi-
gation. He was a Liberal.
Disarmament appears to be making some little progress.
The Italian Courier announces that the Italian Minister
of War has ordered the dismissal of ten men to each
company, squadron, and battery. The soldiers are to be
discharged on the Ist of October.
The Bourse has left off in good health and buoyant
spirits. The success of the insurgents will, it is hoped,
furnish the Emperor with occupation for some time to

come.

THE WEATHER TABLE-THIS DAY.

POLICE INTEL LIGEN CE-- This Day.

WESTMINSTER.

HOUSEBP,EAKING BY BOYS.—llenry Rosseter and
George Johnson, two boys, were charged with
breaking and entcring the dwelling house of Mr.
Forster, WoJer-sticet, Pimlico, and stealing two
brooches and some articles of linen.

Alice Blighton, servant at the house, said that at
six this morning she was awoke by the police
ringing the bell. She went down when they in-
quired whether she had lost anything. She found
some linen, two brooches, and miscellaneous pro-
perty had been stolen from a table near the window
in the front kitchen. The things were safe when
she went to bed at ten on the previous night. The
prisoners must have stolen the things by going
down the area and opening the kitchen window to
which there were some external bars.

James Marshall, 302 B, said that at an early hour
this morning he saw the two prisoners looking
about the Belgrave-road. Suspecting them he
watched them until they went by turns down Mr.
Forster's area, the one keeping watch for the other.
Having obtained assistance, witness captured John-
son in the area with a bundle by the side of him
containing the linen stolen from the house. On
searching him at the station, a number of small
articles taken from the premises were found in his
pocket. The prisoner endeavoured to get away
when the police approached.
They were remanded.
