The Journal des D ekits ;-imply publishes the account
of the attempted assassination of the Emperor which
has appeared in the Moniteur.
The Constitutionnel publishes the following :
" It was precisely at 10 minutes past five, on the right
side of the avenue near the Beaujon grounds, almost at
the corner of the 11 ue Balzac, that a man was seen to
advance from the si a alley towards the Emperor ; he
had his hand in the breast•pocket of his paletot, as if he
were about to take °tit a petition to present to his Majesty.
This man was deceni;ly dressed; he appeared about 35
years of age ; he 100 ked like an Italian, and, in fact, it
has since been ascertained that he is one. This man
was armed with a double-barrelled pistol of the length
of a cavalry pistol, and he fired twice, at a short inter-
val between the two shots. The Emperor cast a look of
profound disdain upon the assassin, and, with his hand
waving if the persons who hastened up to see that he
was not wounded, aad saluting them, he continued his
ride to rejoin the Empress, whose carriage was a little
in advance.

" Aleautimo an agent attached to the person of the
Emperor, on hearing the first report, rushed to the spot
whence it proceeded, and, armed with a dagger which
he had with him, fell upon the assassin just as he fired
his second shot. It appears that when he caught hold
of him he wounded him with his dagger, which led to a
report that the assassin had attempted suicide. The
assassin had no dagger, but a revolver was found upon
him, which he had no time to use.

" Surrounded by Sergens de Ville,' who kept the
curious at a distance, the man was taken to the guard-
house at the Barriere de I'Etoile, occupied by a detach-
ment of the 90th of the Line, Here he was ,searched,
and by his papers it was proved that he was an ItaliAn.
He is a Roman of the name of Liverani, who embraced
Protestantism at London, where he had emigrated after
the taking of Rome by the French.
" He was dressed in an undersnit qute different from
the first in form and colour, so that if he. had not been
at once arrested he might easily have escaped. He
was immediately handcuffed and taken to the Prefecture
of Police in cab No. tiSti. On arriving at the guard-
house at the Palai3 de Justice, occupied by the Garde
de Paris, it was found necessary to take bandages. and
lint to bind up his wound.
"He had 100 f. in gold in hi 3 pockets and the large
double-barrelled pistol which he had fired, and which is
a weapon of some value ; it is, perhaps, its length which
made him so fortunately twice miss his aim.

the assassin was being secured, the Emperor,
followed by a crowd of pedestrians and equestrians, who
oudly cheered him, rejoined the Empress, and returned
to the Tuileries, in the midst of a sort of triumphal
escort.

"The ladies in the carriages joined in the acclama-
tions, waving their handkerchiefs.
"The Emperor and Empress had previously announced
their intention of visiting the Opera Comique. Their
Mvjesties, in fact, went their. On their way, in the
Rue de Rivoli, in the ltue de la Paix, along the Boule-
vard, the crowd thronged the pathways, and saluted
their Majesties with loud cheers. Many of the houses
were illuminated ; three rounds of applause welcomed
the Emperor and Empress as they entered their box.
` The Emperor took the seat in the box usually occu.
