FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, FEBRUARY 11. In the night between the 10th and 11th of Feb ruary, as his Grace the Duke of Wellington was re turning home in his carriage, a pistol shot was fired, which did not strike him, nor even the carriage. The ball was in vain searched for—it could not be found. It is said that the assassin came out from the sentry box on the left ; and the sentinels, who were beneath the coach-:doors, rapidly followed the trace of him. The darkness prevented them from seizing him. From information received by the police, it is thought that the perpetrator of this dreadful act will be discovered. Moniteur. _ . A pistol-shot was fired at the carriage of the Duke of Wellington at about one o'clock this morn ing, as his Grace was returning to his hotel. It did not strike him. Considerable search was made, bta, the ball could not be found. At the moment the shot was fired, the servant that was behind the carriage saw in the darkness that prevailed a man who preci pitately ran away, and of whom he soon lost sight. The two sentinels who were at the great gate of the hotel immediately went in pursuit of the man whom the servant had seen, but they could not overtake. hjm. The police have made the greatest eforts to, discover the peipctiator of this act; and it is said they have obtained a clue which may lead to the dis covery.—Gazette de France. About one o'clock this morning, as the Duke of, Wellington was returning to his hotel, a pistol shot' was fired very near his carriage, but did not strike it. The ball could not be found, notwithstanding a search was made for it. The servant who was behind the carriage saw a man escape from one of the sides of the sentry-box situate to the left of the outer gate, and behind which he had concealed himself, to avoid the carriage at the moment of its entrance. The two sentinels who were beneath the coach doors immedi ately ran upon the trace of the man who had taken flight. The darkness of the night prevented them from seizing him. The police have already taken measures by which a clue has been obtained, that gives reason to hope that the perpetrator of this hor rible act will soon be discovered.—Journal de Com. About one o'clock this morning, at the moment his Grace the Duke of Wellington returned to his hotel, a pistol-shot was fired at his carriage. We hasten to state, that happily his Grace was not hurt, and that even his carriage was not touched. The servant who was behind the carriage saw an individual run with great precipitation immediately after the pistol had been fired. He appeared to have been concealed be hind a sentry-box, and to have quitted this ambus cade at the moment of the arrival of the carriage. The two sentinels posted in front of the hotel were beneath the coach doors, and did not perceive the assassin till after the criminal attempt had been made. They pursued the trace of him, but the darkness of the night prevented them from seizing him. A clue, however, has been already obtained by the police, which affords reason to hope that the perpetrator of this horrible attempt will be discovered.—J.desDdiats. PRIVATE LETTERS. " PARIS, FEB. 12. " On the night of the 10th instant, as his Grace the Duke of Wellington was returning from the ha ban Opera, in Paris, attended by his Aide-de-Camp, and a Spanish Officer of high rank, who has long been the companion of our illustrious countryman, and has attended him through all his campaigns, the crowd was so great, that the progress of his Grace's carriage was for some time impeded. During this period a villain was observed pressing forward to wards the spot where the Duke's carriage was situa ted. Fortunately, however, for that time, his inten tion was frustrated, by the activity of his Lordship's coachman, who whipped up his horses, and drove rapidly in the direction of the Place Vendome. It appears, notwithstanding, that the assassin reached the Rue St. Honore, before the carriage of his Grace arrived there, and It the moment it crossed, on the way to the Champs Elysee, fired at the Duke ; so sure was his aim, and so deliberate the act, that no thing could have preserved the life of our great Hero, had the window of the carriage been down, which was the case but a moment before; the hand of his Grace's Aide-de-Camp being still on the holder, after raising it, when a rifle ball struck the strong plate glass, and shattered it to pieces. The Duke imme diately, with the greatest coolness, directed that the coachman should be ordered to stop. His Grace alighted, and perceiving a figure gliding round the corner of the Rue St. Honore, with an intention, as it would appear, of escaping towards the Barriere de Elysee, his Grace promptly advanced upon him.— The villain instantly started, flung the rifle from his hand, and with the rapidity of lightning, darted to- ' I wards the Thuillcries, by the gardens of whi c h, a nd over the Pont Neuf, he is supposed to have made his escape. His Grace then, with that collected firmness for which he is so remarkable, directed a few Gen darmerie, who, alarmed by the report of the rifle, had assembled on the spot, to go in pursuit of him, and returned to his carriage as if nothing had taken place. His Grace is even reported to have been fa cetious on the circumstance of there being no glass to preserve them from a drizzling rain that was then falling, and which occasioned its being at first drawn up. A considerable sensation arose next morning in consequence. The Parisians were to be Seen muster ing in strange and grotesque groups at the various Caffe's, and reports the most extravagant were in circulation." ANOTHER LETTER. d 4 I have just received further particulars relating to the above atrocious assault : --- - ~ The sentinels were under the gateway (Port Cocherel of the Duke's hotel. His Graces coachtnan has declared, that at fifty paces from it, opposite the Hotel d'Abtantes, he saw a man of middling sta ture, who a to be dreised in dark blue, and running the carriage, as far as the door of the Duke's hotel, and stopping at the side of the sentry boa, he fired off a pistol ; the horses were already under the gateway, but the coachman was still without ; the pistol was aimed behind him. The footman also saw the assassin, bat only at the mo ment when he fired, and the pistol was let off in the direction between him and the coachman. Two of his Grace's servants, who where supping in an ad joining public-house, say that they heard the report of the pistol at the moment they came out ; they saw a man who Appeared to be coming from the Duke's hotel, but who was walking very quietly, which un fortunately did not induce them to seize his person: they agreed with the coachman and footman as to his suture, but it appeared to them that he wore mustachios, which the others did not notice. As the ball has not been found, some persons think that the pistol might only have been loaded with powder. " One of the Duke's Aid-de-Camps has said, that a disbanded foreign officer, who had served under his Grace in the Peninsula, twice presented a petition to him to deliver to the Duke, and had shewn much moroseness of temper. at not having been able tO succeed in his demand; the description of this man's person corresponds with that riven by the Duke's servants. His Grace was alone in •the carriage." ANOTHER LETTER. " The Duke of Wellington has narrowly escaped being the victim of horrid and base assassination. Yesterday morning, one o'clock, as he was •en tering his hotel, de Champs Elysees, a Man, close to his coach, fired a pistol at him, but fortu nately neither wounded him nor any of hil suite. " The Duke of Wellington has in his hotel a guard of honour, consisting of twenty-four men, com manded by an officer—yesterday this guard was sup plied by the Legion of L'lsere. There are constantly two sentinels at the outer gate, and other two are besides posted during the night towards the Champs Elysees. Notwithstanding these precautions, the as sassin was so daring as to slip behind one of the sentry boxes, and fire his pistol so close, that the ball struck the wall of the hotel, without, however, touch ing the carriag e , which at that moment passed ra pidly into the Court. " The sentinels gave the alarm, and the guard im mediately turned out : the soldiers and the servants pursued the assassin, but, in consequence of its being very dark, he succeeded in escaping, and hitherto all attempts to discover him have been without effect. " His Excellency had given a gland diplomatic dinner, and had passed the evening at Lady Craw furd's, Rue d'Anjou. It appears probable that the assassin had followed the coach from the neighbour hood of her Ladyship's house, for the driver observed a man running with all his speed to get at the gate of the hotel before the carriage. " This event has made a great impression in Paris. The Noble Duke has been successively visited by all the King's Ministers and a number of other persons of distinction have waited on him to express the in terest they take in his safety, after the danger to which he had been exposed. " P.S. The police, it is said, have already obtained important information. A foreign officer is men tioned, against whom there are violent suspicions but it will be proper to wait for something more cer tain on this subject. " All the copies of the 3d number of the Stntinelle de I Honneur, which was on sale for a few days, have been seized. This political pamphlet is written by M. Jouslin de la Salle, the cousin of General Ber trand, who is at St. Helena. The Duke of Welling ton is described in it as an insolent pro-consul, and the most marked endeavours are made to direct against him the contempt and hatred of the French nation. The author, it is said, will be brought to trial." FRBRVARY 12. His Majesty held yesterday a Council of Ministers, which sat from two o'clock till half-past four. The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies on the Budget approach the termination of their labours:, they will immediately appoint two reporters, one for the expenditure, and the other for the revenue. The Moniteuv of Wednesday contains a Royal Or donnance, dated the 10th inst. repealing after three months the bounty on the importation into France of wheat and wheat flour, barley, rye, and maize, which is to continue till the 15th of May inclusive, and no longer: The trial of Mathurin Bruneau, calling himself Lattis XVII. charged with swindling, vagrancy, and usurpation of name, came on the 9th instant, before the Tribunal of Correctional Police at Rouen. M. Daussier, the King's Procureur, was heard, andsome evidence gone into, after which the Court adjourned till next day, when several witnesses were examined, whose depositions fully proved the prisoner guilty of the various acts of imposition he was charged with. Upwards of sixty witnesses remain to be examined. A Belgic Journal states, that General Woronzow, Commander of the Russian Contingent, had left his head-quarters at Maubeuge to proceed to Paris with several superior officers. It is added, that the Com manders of the Austrian and Prussian Contingents are also about to proceed hither. It is concluded that military affairs will be discussed, and it is presumed that the Duke of Wellington is about to enter upon important negociations with the French Government on the pan of his Court and of the great Powers of the Continent.
