The St. Petersburg journals of the sth publish

to the Emperor, and written immediately after the
attempt on his life :

At ball-past 9, on leaving the theatre, jut as I was step-
ping into a carriage, I saw a man advancing towards me who
seemed to have a petition to present. But all at once he fired
a pistol point blank at me. God preserved me. The ball
penetrated the paletot, coat, and shirt, and only stopped
after having graced the clavicle. I feel quite well, and ex-
perience but a alight pain, caused by the contusion.
Accounta from Warsaw of the same date report
that the jaw of General Laden; was broken, and
that an operation was necessary. Dr. Langenbeck
has been summoned by telegraph to perform the
operation.
