A rrisafe letter from Smyrna, of the 3d of April, givao,. following account of the intended attack on hir Hudson Lowe 7.
" Sir Hudson Lowe has been here for some days. The even,:
before yesterday he ran the rink of being usatrainated, or a i,Z, very ill treated, in his lodgings. A clerk in the office of the French
Legation had determined to revenge his former Emperor, and cat
this view forcibly entered the house ; but Sir Hudson Lowe was.,
h.it time on board the Cambrian frigate. This affair, tana,,,,,,"
has caused a great sensation : the clerk Las been arrested, one
Hopson Lowe has taken some soldiers from the frigate to Fa
him. Capt. Hamilton and the English Consul have complata.d to the Consul of Frune. The clerk, it seems, excuses himself it.

instigated by several other Frenchmen."

promise the creditors above live per cent. One great hearse ii reported to have lost above a million of florins by this (Cur; which does not seem improbable, when we consider that the
late chief partner of the house of Fries, is she same 31r. Dna
Parish who has appeared as one of the principal contractors in tow
of the great loans that hare been negotiated fur some years psi
