Your correspondent at Paris thus
writes me under date OF tho 18th ult:
"rhe intelligence from Spain is pro.
duoing intense excitement here. II
Amadeo abdicates aud revolution fol
lows, the course wbioh ita friends here
predict, we shall see the monarchial
party in France even more strengthened
than it was by Napoieon's death. France
will be warned by Spain's playing the
| ed and the Benapartists made moro will
party. An immense exodus OF priests
and wealthy families is expected from
| Spain II the republic be proclaimed.
There is some reason TO lear there may
be trouble in Lyons and Marseilles il
there be established a republic in Spain.
| We have heard every evening, for the
last seven or eight days, that u formida-
BILE ineurrection has broken out in Lyons.
There is no question the Cummunards
arc collecting on the Swiss frontier.
Ciuseret aud many Polish military ad-
venturers confederated with him are
known tn be at Geneva. Impatient
spirits in Lyons have for months been
longing for insurrection, and it is be-
lieved the menaced changes in the mn-
nicipal organization of Lyons and in
the electoral law have produced de.
gree of irritation in that city which tho
Revolutionary leaders eau no longer
aliay. Moreover, thero is as much dis
trees in the lower classes there as there
is in Paris"
T should add another fact to the curl
GUS information I have already given
It is that shortly after Amadeo's first ar
rival at Madrid, tolerably conclusive
1
plot for the assassination Of IPrim was
known to, If not ooncooted by, the Duo
30 Montpensier. The evidence against
the private secretary OF the Dokc-a
gentleman Who. believe, is now in the
United States-was perfectly conclusive;
and that against the Duke himself was
very strong. The news of Prim's Rssas.
lsination, it will be remembered, reached
the King as he hrst landed in Spain, aud
he vas very anxious to bring his murder
ers to justice. He wished the Duke to
be informed OF the reasons for the accu-
sations against him, and to have him
Summoned for trial; but he was over
ruled in this, as in nearly everything
else. It is fortunate that Amadeo has
gone. He did not have happy day
all the time he was in Spain. He has
always been in danger Of assassination !;
be has been twice shot at; he has been
once nearly poisoned; and fourth at-
tempt to kill him was made by throwing
missiles from the roof of building just
as he was passing it, Had he remained.
he wonld have lived in constant fear and
unhappiness.
In london. opinion is divided as to
the chances for the perpetuity OF the
new republic in Spain. The journals
PlcoloS ito oPeeoy uo"nIAIl, OuC tney
have been saying the same thing for two
years about tho French republic, and it
still lives. In private conversation,
many Of our public men express the be
lief that, after all, it may be found that
the republic will be the salvation OF
Spain.
WANTED, AN OWNER The singular
statement is made, that ten shares Of the
Gre lit Mobilior of America. on which is
due dividends to the amount of IS. 600,
are going begging in Washington city,
and that an owner for the scrip cannot
be procured. In his testimony before
the Credit Mobilier Committee, Oakes
Ames swore that be held the stock for
Judge Kelley, Of Pennsylvania, under
an arrangement with the latter. The pip
iron Congressman ironically remarked,
that IT the stock were his, he would like
to have it turned over; whereupon honest
Oakes took the certificate from his
pocket and handed it to the astonished
Pennsylvania. The latter refused to
retain it, and gave it to the Chairman of
the. Committee. Judge Poland now
wishes to know whit he shall do with it.
