CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.  (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Tuesday-Erening. The Moniteur to-day dismisses the revolt in Spain, by publishing a letter from Madrid, which commences by stating that " the military insurrection in Spain may now be considered as terminated." Several of the Paris papers, however, contain details which prove that there is still vitality and danger in the insurrection. The Madrid Gazette has the odd announcement that one of the soldiers of the regiment of Baylen, which is in revolt, has made his submission. That paper also states officially that a demand has been made in the Senate for permission to prosecute General Prim on the charge of sedition. A similar demand is made by the Captain-General of New Castille. The French army has just lost another distinguished soldier, General of Division d'Aiguemont, of the Artillery. He led a very active life, and from 1812 to 1815 participated in the campaigns in Spain, in Catalonia, and elsewhere. lie was at one time Governor of Metz. The General had for some time been in bad health, and sought the genial climate of Cannes, like Lord Brougham, where his death took place. A German paper states that a few days ago there died at Magdeburg, in Prussia, an eminent and learned physician, Dr. Julius Fischweiher, in his 109th year. By his will, which was read with much ceremony, he leaves an important communication to his contemporaries, to serve a great object —nothing more or less than to insure longevity. This secret, according to the doctor, consists in assuming as often as possible, and particularly during the time devoted to sleep, a horizontal position by keeping the head in the direction of the North Pole, and the rest of the body as near as possible in a southern direction. The effect of this is, according to the doctor, a connection with the magnetic currents coming from various parts of the globe, or a sort of continuous magnetization, which increases the vital principle, and nourishes the body and all the organic functions. The Siecle says :—" The Consistory of the Reformed Church of Paris has made another advance in the way to intolerance, its first step in which was the dismissal of M. Coquerel, jun. It now dismisses M. Martin Paschard, without regard either to his age or his services. The law of the 18th Germinal, year 10, which regulates the Reformed Churches, declares that pastors are irremovable, but the Consistory thinks itself above the law. The Minister of Public Worship will shortly have to decide upon the justice of the step adopted by the Consistory. The cause of complaint against M. Paschard has not transpired. All I know is that for some years he has been the pastor of the Protestant Church in the Faubourg St. German.  A trial has commenced before the Court of Assize of Finistere, the details of which are of a very horrible character. For the present, however, the trial is postponed. in consequence of the principal witness, a medical man. The accused is a girl named Bourgavan, who is only 15 years old. She was a servant in the family of a gentleman named Robinson, and had the care of his children. The accusation is that the prisoner murdered two of the children by cutting their throats, having previously forced filth into their mouths ; and also, that she caused the deaths of two other children in an attrocious manner by cutting off their limbs and mutilating them. The official return of the Revenue Receipts for 1865, just published, shows that the total amount of indirect taxes was 1,222,534,000 f., which is an increase of 45,849,000 f. as compared with 1864, and a decrease of 21,843,000 f; on 1863. The total of direct taxes received in 1865 was 515,955,000 f., but a sum of 16,614,000 f. had not yet been collected. The amount of the direct taxes received in 1864 was 520,245,000 f. The Moniteur of this evening contains accounts from Rome, according to which the energetic measures of the Pontifical Government have tended to a considerable diminution in brigandage. Forty brigands have made their submission, only one of of whom is a native of the Roman States; the other 39 are Neapolitans. The total population of Rome is now 207,338. In 1855 the population was only 177,461, and in 1860 only 184,049.  It has rained almost the whole of the day, and there is now (6 o'clock) every prospect of its continuance all night. The temperature is exceedingly mild.
