" The Emperor has received letters of congratu-
lation from the Grand Duke of Tuscany, on his
escape from the late attempt on his life.
" In the indictment against the assassin Pianori,
it was stated that on the 28th of April the Em-
peror was attended by only one equerry, whereas
Lieut. -Colonel Valabriq ue was on his left hand and
Col. Ney on his right. The assassin rushed from
the path on the right of the Emperor, but the pre-
' sence of Colonel Ney compelled him to place him-
self in front to fire the first shot. Colonel Ney
than having quickly borne down upon him, changed
the direction of the second shot, and entirely frus-
trated the attempt."
