THE LATE ATTEMPT AT BOU-

LOGNE,
FURTHEP. -PARTICULARS.
(From Galignani's Messenger.)
Although_ no fresh intelligence of any essential im-
!Penance has re-Ached us relative to this affair, we have
e°l4'eted sme particulars which are of interest, and
*Celt eee proceed to lay before our readers.
The Prefect of the Pas de Calais has addressed a
.!ePort to the Minister of the Interior, the most interest-
ing Part of which is the following account of the landing
of the insurpants
About 12 o'clock in the night of the sth instant,
ate Seth-Brigadier of the Customs, Audinet, being on
mute with two men, perceived off It's pest, at a quarter
10 a league out at sea, a steamboat at anchor. The
'situation of the vessel did not excite his particu'ar ob-
servation, because Le had for several days been accus-
tomed to see packets tither at anchor or lying-to
between Boulogne and the Pointe aux Oics, waiting
or despatches. Seeing, however, about two in the
morning,
a boat apparently full of people leave the
"essel, Audinet advanced quickly before his men to
the water's edge. The boat touched the shore at
twenty-five paces from him, and he bailed her. The
people replied,' We are men of the 4th of the line going
from Dunkirk to Cherbourg, but one of our paddles
being broken, we have come on shore: The Brigadier
'upon this saw that there were about 15 soldiers of dif-
ferent grades in the boat, all of whom jumped ashore.
At the moment he did not suspect that they were de-
ceiving him, nor did he entertain any doubts until seve-
ell of those who landed levelled their bayonets at him,
4" said, Make no opposition to the landing, or you
shall be treated like the Bedouins.' An officer inter-
fered, and said,' They are Custom-house men, don't do
them any harm.' The Sub-Brigadier of the Customs
and his two men, Caroux and Lguay, who had come
el) to him, were surrounded by armed men. The boat
'returned to the vessel, and, after making three trips.
brought the rest of the troop to land. In the interval
five other men belonging to the Customs, in making their
/bonds, were arrested by the rebels. None of the Cus-
toms officers were ill-treated or disarmed. During the
Landing, four persons from Boulogne arrived, and embraced
several of the se,ldiers who had landed, and two of these
. .
Rho thus " ined them received officers' uniforms, which
they wo •
e mediately put on. About half-past three,
leO.'ienant Bally, of the Customs, was informed of the
4`4
ellearance of the packet. He went to Wimereux,
kersuaded that it was nothing more than an infraction
'l3f the quarantine regulations. On his arriving in the
Inarket-place of the village, fix or six offieers went. up
4 him,
r. and on his teliing them that he was the chief of
the Custom-house station at that place, they desired him
'conduct the detachment to Boulogne. This detach-
illent was composed of about thirty men in uniform.
pith the number of the 40th regiment of the line, and
about thirty others, invested with the insignia, and
clothed in the uniform of officers of different ranks.
i`l,at the moment of marching there was some discussion
" the group of officers as to the road it would be best
t 0 take. It was at first proposed to go along the shore,
tat the persons who came from Boulogne recommended
that to the Column. This advice prevailed. The
r"P then formed, and commenced its march. The
rebels placed separately, and at a distance from each
na„er, the men whom they had taken for guides,
.!tt order to leave no chance of annoyance
14 their rear. M. Bally vainly entreated them
~t° lease him at Wimereux, but he was forced
r march with the rest. They made several halts
ty the way, and it appears certain that during one
them there were copious libations of cliampague and
brandy among the insurgents. ()a arriving at the
Column, which they passed on the right, after saluting
b With their flag, a General Officer observing M.
speaking to one of his men, came up to him,
"nu desired him not to converse, adding, You
tai to know that it is Prince Louis Napoleon who is
tt our head. Boulogne is for us, and in a few days the
prince will be proclaimed Emperor of the French by the
_nation which calls upon him, and by the French Ministry
7ho are expecting him.' M. Bally replied that this ren-
dered the position of himselt and his men still more dis-
trUtts- He earnestly requested that he and they might
Permitted to return to their post, since they were in
4lght of Boulogne, and the road was direct. The officer
'refused, insisting that they should go on still further. A
'quarter of an hour afterwards, when within 200 yards
of the office for the entrance duties, M. Bally renewed
his request to the Prince himself, who said I have no
objection to your returning to Wimereux, but it must
be on condition that you proceed there direct, and do
not mention a word of what has passed.' The Custom
Rouse men united and set off with their lieutenant ob-
served by four armed men, who followed them to the
foot of the column, and saw them take the direction of
,the height of Wimille. When they were about to
seParate a superior officer went up to M. Bally, and
offered him a handful of silver, which, however,- he ab-
tuptly refused. The same attempts at seduction were
made to the subordinates, and in like manner rejected,
ZrsPt by one man ~lone, on whom the directors of the
tems have already done justice. The captain of the
packet has stated that the rebels drank sixteen dozen of
while on the passage from London to Wimereux,
h.randy and liqueurs. The soldiers of the 42d
were present at the action, and have been interro-
°tea, declare that nearly all the rebels were drunk."
:.‘&_correspolident writes—
.ln proceeding to the column the insurgents leit in
town Count Montholon and Colonel Parquet, who
lere almost immediately arrested by the Commissary of
°nee. M. Bergeret, assisted by M. Chauveau Souhi-
- .ez: on officer of the National Guard. Not only arms
and
money have been found on board the Edinburgh
IC:stle, but papers compromising several great ps.rson-
41ges have been discovered. Search is being made for
Zen Persons who as yet have not been captured. On
_ evening of Thursday a captain on the retired list,
isho landed at Celais don the 2lst ult., was arrested at
I oMarquise
while in the act of changing his military uni-
tinfor the clothes of a peasant. Our police was evi-
fentlY prepared for the attempt. That of Calais has
btwo months been aware that Louis Bonaparte was
pith the
uniforms made in London, and, in concert
tTth the police of Boulogne, has been watching the mo-
ens of Lieutenant Aladenize. Great military precau-
-I°4 continue to be taken at Calais. The posts are
'till doubled, and the port remains under the strictest
uurveillance.''
Prcgres du Pas de Calais asserts that when
teas surrounded
Louis arrived at the Column from Boulogne he
i'tes surrounded by 200 to 300 persons, who showed
o mast lively sympathy for him, and that it was some
°Ple, not belonging to his own suite, who forced him
'r°lll the Column down to the shore, in the hopes of
Procuring his escape. When the Prince's boat upset,
Sod he was in the water up to his neck, he took off his
uniform and began to swim.

many as possible of the Proclamations distributed by
the Prince and his partisans. They are, consequently,
become very scarce. On the evening of the echatifi
Aurree, they were bought up eagerly at five francs each.

Boulogne, Tuesday Night, Aug. 11.
It is false to state that the surgeon was shot in the
act of levelling his pistol at the National Guard. I
was within twenty yards of the unfortunate man at
the time, and I most solemnly declare to you that
he made, and could make, no resistance. Besides, the
nature and position of the wound will prove that I
am correct. I was by his side a second after he fell,
and I pledge my honour that the wound was in the
back of the head. The ball took a slanting direction,
exposing his brain. He had not fallen half a second,
Whcn a young urchin, about 12 years old, pulled his
geld watch out of his fob, and extracted his purse from
his pocket. One of the Na!innal Guards then came up
- -(perhaps. the mart who fired the fatal shot), and these
two objects were delivered to him by the boy, to whom
he presented a five franc piece. I have not heard
.ther,the watch and purse were surrendered to the
c°4ll446ttrY of police; if ico). this_ liatiorial_ guard will
