THE ATTEMPT ON THE ARCHDUKE
CONSTANTINE.

The Independance Beige publishes the following
letter from Warsaw, dated the 4th inst.:—
"At Warsaw, as at St. Petersburg, the extreme parties
seem to have agreed to turn aside the Government from the
path of reform into which it had boldly entered. These
parties will fall, it is to be hoped, at Warsaw before the
good sense of the public, as they have fallen at St. Peters-
burg. I send you a few details of the horrible attempt to
assassinate the Grand Duke Constantine.

" Yesterday morning, 3d July, his Imperial Highness
the Grand Duke Constantine had received at the Chateau
du Belvedere the high Polish functionaries, and a depu-
tation from the Municipal Body, presented to him by the
head of the Civil Administration, Marquis Wielopolski, The
Duke had a kind word for each; to the members of the Council
of State he said that he counted upon their loyal support, and
was happy to share their labours. At noon his Imperial High-
' ness visited the Greek Cathedral, afterwards the Catholic
Cathedral, and was received at the porches of both churches
by the metropolitan archbishops of the respective faiths.
He was heartily welcomed everywhere by a large crowd,
who occasionally cheered him. In the evening his Imperial
Highness drove in his carriage to the theatre without an
escort to see the opera of " Straddle." Before the opera
was over, while getting into his carriage, about half-past
nine o'clock, under the vestibule of the theatre, an indi-
vidual who had concealed himself in one of the passages
approached close to him and fired a pistol point blank at
him. The ball, fortunately, only grazed the right clavicle,
having been turned off by a button and the Archduke's
epaulette. The assassin was immediately seized by one of
the aides-de-camp on duty, Baron Bremsen, who caught
him so firmly by the back of the neck that he nearly
chocked him. The man vomited, and it was for a moment
supposed he had taken poison. This miserable wretch had
the pistol still in his hand. His name is Jarozzynski, and
he is a tailor's apprentice.
" He has already been examined, and some of his accom-
plices have been arrested. It is difficult to describe what
consternation this event has caused among Russians, as well
as among the Poles. The opera, as you may imagine, was
brought to a sudden conclusion, and among the first at the
side of the Grand Duke was the Marquis Wielopolski. The
Grand Duke was taken back to his box in the Opera-house,
where he received surgical aid, and had the wound ban-
daged. He then proceeded in a close carriage to the Cha-
teau du Belvedere. He himself informed the Grand
Duchess of what had occurred, and, despite the advanced
state of her pregnancy, she received the news with great
calmness.

"At first it was feared that this attempt was but the sig-
nal for some revolutionary movement. Strong detachments
of troops immediately patrolled the streets, and occupied
the principal squares, but, happily, last night and this
morning have passed in perfect tranquillity.

" And what will now be the consequences of this at-
tempt ? Let us hope that it will induce the friends of
order to pronounce themselves energetically against a fac-
tious minority, which shrinks from no means to thwart
the regenerating work inaugurated by the Sovereign,
under the auspices of his august brother and of the Marquis
Wielopolski.
" It is said that among the persons arrested is the man
who fired at General Luders. The General has been suf-
fering great agony the last few days.
