PLOT TO ASSASSINATE THE

EMPEROR.

(IT BRITIAN ♦ID

PARIS, WEDNIPIDAT MORNING.
The Moniker contains the following:
" For more than a month the police has had proof
that a plot had been formed in London to make an
attempt on the life of the Emperor. Three Italians,
charged with the execution of this horrible
project, were at Paris, and were arrested. The

arms also which were to have been used for the
perpetration of the crime have been seized; they
consist of poignards, revolvers, &c. Brought to
justice the prisoners had already confessed their
crime and revealed the names of their accomplices.
The government, notwithstanding, suspended the
proseedings against them, in order that the eclat of
the procc's might not be regarded as a means of in-
fluencing the result of the elections which were
about to take place. The proceedings are now re-
awned, and an ordinance of the Judge of Instruc-
tion has sent before the Chamber of Accusation all
the prisoners arrested, with their accomplices. The

manes of those arrested are Tihaldi, Bartolotti,
Grilli (otherwise Saro). The accomplices are Maz-
zini, Ltdru Rollin, Mazarenti, and Campa °ells."

The regulations published in this day's Monieettr
for the payment of the new tax upon shares and
obligations contain the following clause relating to
foreign companies:
Such foreign companies as are authorised to have their
shares quoted either at the Paris Bourse or the departmental
Bourgte, are required within the space of two months from
the promulgation of the law, to appoint a responsible roper-
seutat ive in France, who must be approved of by the Minis-
ter of Finance, and in default of such appointment, the
•impanics will be liable to have their authorisation rescinded.
These foreign companies will furnish the minister with a de-
claration indicating the number of their shares end oblige-
gations upon which the amount of the tax will be calculated.
They will pay an annual and obligatory tax of twelve
centimes per 100 fr., without sny distinction between shares
to bearer and nominative shame

There has been a heavy downward reaction at the
Bourse to-day. Speculators have so little confidence'
in the recent ri.e that they are very impatient to
realise their small profits. There were, however, a
good many considerable purchases made upon every
fall in the early part of the day. At the close the
the market was agitated, and oscillations were fre-
quent. The Rente fell 13c. for cash and 30c. for ac-
count, chring at 61fr. 45c. and 67fr.-10e. Nlobilier fell
22fr. 50e. The Lyons fusion railway fell 30fr., and
the other lines from sfr. to 10fr.

The Foi Bretonne, a journal of Saint Brieue, has
been suspended by M. Billault for two months, for
having "dared to say" that the elections iu which
six millions of electors took part were for the go-
vernment a victory gained on a field of battle where
the adversary did not appear ; and also for having
said that the suspension of the Aseemblele Nationale
had afflicted all truly monarchical people, and was a
subject for " august regrets."
Lord Cowley was at Marseilles on Saturday to
meet his son, an officer in Lord Lyons' squadron
which has just arrived at Toulon. On Sunday his
excellency, with his family, embarked on board a
steam corvette (sent from the fleet) to pay a visit to
the admiral.

M. Sartorius, Count de San Luis, and M. Bravo
Murillo have arrived in Paris from Spain. The
former is going to Vichy.
The Itusbian Minister of Marine, who is now tra-
velling in France strictly incog., was at Havre on
Saturday, where he went to see M. Normand'', ship
yards, and inspected the King of Prussia's yacht.
He left Havre yesterday morning, on board the
steamer Nord, for Cherbourg.
The King of Naples, emulous of the French Em-
peror, has been doing a little bit of trade in the
I slave line at Alexandria. According to the Press*
(Orient, the Neapolitan consul there lately pur-
chased forty negroes to send into Europe, for a pious
purpose, as he said. Slavery being pretty nearly
abolished in Egypt, the authorities thought it odd
that a high Christian functionary should have made
this purchase of man's flesh, and opposed the de-
parture of the negroes. After a good deal of nego-
tiation, however, the Viceroy consented to their
being shipped oft this time, but upon the under-
standing that uo more traffic of this sort would be
allowed.
