" Paris is as tranquil as amidst the entertainments,
fireworks, and illuminations on an immense scale it
could possibly be expected to be.
"No disposition but to enjoy the entertainments
so liberally provided is in the slightest degree per-
ceptible.

"HALF•PAST 10 O'CLOCK.

" The assassin is a young lad of from 16 to 20, and
was apparently tipsy. It was with a percussion pis-
tol that he made the attempt. He was arrested by
one of the musicians.
"The King has left for Neuilly."

A telegraphic dispatch received at Calais states
that two shots were fired, and that the assassin upon
being arrested confessed his crime.

LATEST PARTICULARS.

We have received by Extraordinary Expiess the
Paris papers of yesterday, with letters from our cor-
respondent. We make from the latter the following
extracts :

" PARIS, TIIURSDAY, JULY 30.

" Half an hour after I had sent off my dispatch
last night, I heard from an official source the principal
incidents of the attempt on the King's life, and the
leading details of the assaesin's examination. As that
account only differed from mine in respect of the
age of the miscreant (who, I had been informed, was
only sixteen or twenty years of age), I did not deem
it worth an express to correct it. The main facts
were in your possession.
" I now forward you this day's papers with the
details.

" When you shall recollect that at the moment of
this diabolical attempt there were congregated in the
gardens of the Tuileries and their vicinity half a mil-
lion of people ; that the files were drawing towards
their close, and everybody engaged in enjoying them,
you will not be surprised at learning that so few per-
sons were aware of the fact that the King had been
fired at. When I heard of it any attempt to obtain
authentic particulars was for the time out of the
question. Every official person—even the porters
of the hotels—were abroad. Hence the imperfect
nature of the first account.

" I mentioned last night that M. Guizot left Paris
at five o'clock for Lisieux. He stopped to dine at
St. Germans, whence he was to proceed to his
country seat (Val Rich, near Lisieux). He was,
consequently, within five leagues of Paris when the
express was sent for him, and came to town instantly.
He was present at the examination of the prisoner,
and returned to the Hotel of Foreign Affairs at
midnight. On arriving there he appeared flushed,
but otherwise as cool and tranquil as you have ever
seen him. He was to leave Paris at one o'clock this
morning.

" The King, Queen, and Royal Family proceeded
to Neuilly last night by the Rue Richelieu, Boule-
vard des Italiens, Rue St. Lazan, &c., for (as you
will believe) all the streets bordering on the
road to Neuilly (Champs Elysees), were choked
up by the people. It was a detachment of attend-
ants, and not a portion of the Royal Family, that
left for Eu last night. The King, Queen, and Royal
Family proceeded thither this morning.
" The intimation that the King had been fired at
will have first reached the inhabitants of Paris (with
perhaps 50 or 60 exceptions) this morning only,
through the newspapers. The effect of it upon the
public mind cannut yet be ascertained, but the
details will, I am convinced, be read with horror.
The funds will, no doubt, decline; but they will
rally, and with good reason, for the account of thi.,
new attempt, so eminently calculated to show the
necessity for a Conservative Government, will turn
the scale at the elections, which will take place on
Sunday next.
