KING OF PRUSSIA.

A letter from Baden, dated Sunday, in the Debab
of to-day says :—"This morning, between 9 and 10
o'clock, at the moment when the King of Prussia,
after his customary walk in the Lichtenthal
Avenue, was seated near the stone fountain, a
student of Leipeic approached him, and, levelling
a pistol at his breast, pulled the trigger. The force
of the charge happily mused the bullet to
rise, and the ball only tore the dress
and slightly grazed the King's shoulder. Arrested
on the spot by the promenaders who heard the re-
port, the Nemesia was taken before the chief magis-
trate of the city, and was examined in the pregame
of his August Highness the Grand Duke of Baden.
It is stated that the student confined himself to
the reply, while avowing his crime, that his only
object was to free Germany from a prince
who was not sufficiently active in the cause
of German unity. The population of Baden,
where his Majesty is regarded with respect and
veneration, heard of the event with a horror which
will be shared by all the world. The report runs
that the Leipaic student is the son of a Russian
Consul in a city on the Black Sea. Others say
that he is of Lithuanian origin."

r, JULY IL

Advices received here from Baden-Baden explain
the motives which Mitigated Becker to attempt the
assassination of the King of Prussia. He esteems
the King of Prussia personally, but does not con-
sider him competent to deal with the German
question. A letter to this effect was found on
Becker when he was arrested. He declares that he
has no accomplices.

Iti
Toutonnais, "are considered satisfactory,
and such reliance is placed by the govern-
ment on the good intentions and iiiiiMess of the
new Sultan, that at the Ministry ef Marine the
belief is entertained that VicerAdmirai Le Barbier

division, under the command of Rear-Admiral
Paris, left on the coast of Syria. That, however,
will not take place until after the installation of
Daoub Pasha at Delvel-Knauu*."
