.AT'T'EMPT TO ASSASSINATE
ONE OF THE SONS OF

LOUIS PHILIPPE.

The fc 11ov:int; distressing intelligence has just
been br ought by extraordinary express from
Paris.' It appears that the Duke D'AumALE
who haf I marched with- the 17th Light Infantry
througi i France from 'Marseilles, had just
arrived . in Paris, and while proceeding at the
head c f his regiment, together with three of his
broth, ars, to Neuilly, an assassin fired at the
party , and aimed the.shot, as was supposed, at
the Duke D'AUMALE. Other accounts state
that the assassin aimed at the Duke Of ORLEANS,
but all three 'fortunately escaped unhurt. The
asl assin was instantly arrested, when the regi-
Inc znt continued to march to Neuilly, • where
theta Royal family at present reside. Public
fefil Sing at Paris, it appears, was in a 'very
ex.i sited state.

" PARIS, MONDAY.

'" An attempt has been made to assassinate the
bt'ake d'AumALE to-day. He was at the head of
hits regiment, proceeding along the faubourg St.
Ai itoine to Neuilly, where a grand banquet was
pri !pared by the King and Queen for him and
hie , comrades in arms, when a man dressed
in a blouse started from a cabaret and dis-

et.. arged a pistol shot at him. It is said that the
sl lot was directed at the Duke•D'AUMALE, be-
ca .use he -was a little in advance of his Royal bro-
th ers ; but the Dukes of ORLEANS, NEMOURS,
an d I\lo.-NT.l.E:sir.u. were with him, and the as-
sa.osin mig;ht have aimed at the Duke of OR-
LE ANS as the heir to the throne. Fortunately the
shot did. not take effect, but the horse of a Ge-
neral -VAILLANT was killed, and it is said that
the I 3eneral was slightly wounded in the knee.
The assassin was about thirty years of age, and no
doubt a member of the secret societies that have
lat' Ay been creating disturbances in Paris, but
as yet no particulars have transpired concern-
iny g him.

" After a few minutes' delay the march of the
re! ;invent was resumed, and it passed along the
33( )ulevards, the Princes still maintaining their
ph ices at its head, and cheered by the people. It
pr oceeded to Neuilly, and, up to the hour of
w riting, no account of any other disagreeable oc-
cac has arrived here.

" Very disagreeable events have taken. place at
Clermont, in Auvergne. The people, resisting
I he officers in the taking of the recensement, had
I Wed on the military who supported them, kill-
ing and wounding seventeen soldiers. At one
moment the thing looked very serious, but addi-
tional troops were called in, and the riot was put
down.

" Groups of low characters paraded the place
de Chatelet and several streets of old Paris, ut-
tering seditious cries, on Saturday and Sunday
night. Cries of 'a bas Louis Philippe, a bas
Guizot, we must have blood,' were heard. No
other force was employed against those people
but the sergeants de ville, and by their aid
alone the mob were dispersed without a riot
taking place.
" Public opinion is evidently very uneasy, and
a serious disturbance is by man yexpected to
take place this evening, but no doubt the police
vill be fully prepared, and consequently no
s :rious ill consequences are feared.
" Count de ST. AULAIRE has been ordered to
roceed to London immediately.

".The name of the assassin is PAPART.

The Metropolitan Anti-Corn-law Association
is. to for taw the example of Manchester. it
n sects this, day to consider " the propriety of an
I tddress to- the QUEEN, praying her not to pro-
; r ague the Parliament, until it has taken into
CLl*;s consideration the Corn and Provision-lavis,
vrith a view to their total and immediate repeal."
Other Associations and other towns will take the
8 ame course. The movement must be extensive
• to be beneficial. The communities which are
now suffering great distress, and the individuals
Who have an earnest conviction that great evil
Will most likely be the conseqUenee of pro-
. roguing the Parliament, without taking measures
• to' relieve that distress thereby evincing a
contempt of the best duties of Parliatp_ialt as a
political body, and of I,li humane feeling as a
Christian ''assembly—will, we hope, immediately
bestir themselves, and call meetings to address
'/74..rtft,. the QUEEN, in the' same manner as Manchester
and the Metropolitan Anti-Co:n-law Asso-
ciation.

The Times yesterday stated that one result of
the great superiority of the Tories in Parliament
is) that it " insig e 3 View freedom of action, and
