PLOT TO 1)1-STROY TIIF BOURBONS.
EXTRACT OF • LEITEtt FROM MI fl AL, DATA
APRIL 9:
" Yesterday a fire broke out, about two o'clock in
the morning, in the wing of the Castle principally
inhabited by the General of Artillery, and a bats
talion under his commaml. In a short time the
flames had made such progress, that assistance was
nearly useless. If tho wind had blown from ;:ie
West, the entire castle would Lave been a prey to
the flames. Messrs. the Governor, the Deputy
Governor, and the Membors of the Administration,
strewed themselves every where with the greatest
zeal, as well as the Officers of the Troops. Their
first care was to clear away a magaaine of powder,
the proximiry of which was very dangerous. A
party wall, which separated the most elevated part
of the wing that was on fire, said which kept beck
the flames, happily arrested their progress by faci-
litating the ;teflon of the engine..
" The Count de Lille, who had awoke at the first
beat of the drum, remained the whole night on hit
feet, surrounded by 114 Highness rho Duke D'Ar.-
goulemo and the Officers of his suite. Fortunately
the gout prevented Iris walking about and giving
the necessary orders
" About-five o'clock in the morning, at the moment
when every person was buoy its stopping or examin-
ing the progress of the principal fire, a smoke VAS
perceived issuing from the extremity of the wing
that was on fire, precisely at the angle which joined
this wing to the body of the castle. On entering a
small detached chamber, they found, under a large
camp bed, a heap of small billets of wood and
lighted rags on the floor. The boards and part of
the bedstead were already on tire, and in a moment
the flames would hase become gemoal.
" This morning, April 8, smoke was perceived
over the apartments occupied by the Count de Lae,
which are situated opposite to the wing that had
been burned. The Chief of Police and many other;,
havirg gone into the garrets, found there, near tlo
• fire place, an earthen pot, with die remains of some
charcoal, burned rags, and the Roar on fire r lotto
nately they were able to ex' roguish it.
" Messrs. the Governor d' Ar senieve, and the Core.
maader of the battalion of fusiliers, with one or t!-,e
principal officers at:a:hed to the Count de LI;
were witnesses to the new attempt, as they I.rt
also to the preceding one.
Undoubted proof has been given of these Ms
by the Governor General Count de Boxhowdea,
who, at the first news of the disaster, went fern
Riga to Mittau. kle examined every thing himself,
and gave with the greatest aflivity the nece,s.ny
orders for the safety of thesastle, where every 11..ng
is uow quiet. The tinostili burns, but only among
the rubbish. Only one man has lost his life; the
commander of the fusiliers received a wound on his
head. Many workmen are also wounded."
