THE KING:

THE DUKE -OF BEDFORD.

Ihe Journal de l'Entpire of the 27th contains a
report of the assassination of this illustrious No-
bleman by a band of. brigands. We are inclined
to hope, however, that it will prove unfounded,
as the Journal de Paris states merely that he was
plundered by brigands, and was repairing to join
Isis family at Naples. We subjoin-a literal trans 7
lation of the two paragraphs in question :
" FUNDI, APRIL B.—We ahnotnwe with regret that the
Duke of Bedford has been assassinated in the mountains of
Istria by IS ruffians. Four gen-d'armes who accompanied
-him became victims to the courage which they displayed in
ticlendin-' hfou. Two postillions experienced the saute fate.
The Duke was going- to Naples to ,;otit his family; and to re-
turn with them to thigland."—(Joys;rial Ile. eEdapire.)
ILUME, APRIL 15.--I).ley write from Funtli, under date
of the Bth, that the Duke of Bedford was attacked in the
mountains of Itri, by Itt.hrigandri ; 4 gendarmes who escorted
him were skilled in his detence, as cell as two
The Duke of Bedford lost almost all his property, which-was
conveyed in two carriages, and front the opulence of this No-
bleman it may be supposed the brigands hart a rich booty. He
is repairing .se t'end) to Naples to rejoin his family, and
enihark with it fur England."--(orourma de Paris )
The first of these paragraphs is evidently found-
ed on ass entire misconception as to the place of
the alleged attack. His Grace has never been
near Istria, but may probably 'Save passed by
Itri, which. is between fundi and Naples, on his
way to the lattei place, Where, we understand,
he was with Lord JOHN ant Lord Wm. Russßu.,
at the elate of the last letters received front hint
by the Marquis of TAVISTOCIC.. The report, as
_given its the Journal de l'Empire, caused a great
sensation yesterday in London. The Marquis
,of
TAVIsTOCK, on hearing of it, set oft immediately"
to the Ea,rl of HAIMINGTON'S, his father-in-law,
in the Stable-yard, and messengers were dis-
patched .to every sparter titbit leas likely to fur-
nish the least int-Urination to his Lordship. It
was soon ascertained that the dispatches from
Lord 131.1RGHERSH . did not even' allude to the
event, nor had our Goveruhhtut received, either
officially or otherwiSe; any lamination on the
subject. About 6 o'clock Lord CASTLEREAGH
called on the Marquis of TAvisTocx at Lord HAR-
RINGTON'S, to assure him that the report rested
solely on thie 'paragraphs in the French paper. •

• General Scot and daughter, including between
thirty and forty passengers on the whole, were
landed here from Dieppe, soon after seven o'clock
this morning. By these passengers we learn, that
1349naParte • hail not quitted Paris on Thursday,
• but had declared, his intention of doing so the
same evening for Mentz, tett carriages havipg
left the Palace d'Elysec for the saute destination
at au early part of the day. A portion of the na-
tional guards, it seein•-;, are in. future to be com-
manded by Officers' of die line, a regulation that
has augmented the discontent of the people. The
desertions trout the army are mentioned as nu-
merous and inereitsing—of.a body of three bun-
r:red Hien, that were marching for Lisle a short
time since, tea only,
from this cause, are said to
have arrived there. It now appears, from the in:
formation we have obtained this day, that the na-
tional flag bad actually been struck at Dieppe by
the Royalists,
who are very numerous thereounder
the suppo.sition that Buonaparte resigned the
title of Emperor, and Jiad been rehoisted on dis-
covering their mistake, as reported here and at
Newhaven, by Captain Tauts, the Master of .a
French packet a few days ago.
