PARIS, Oct. 13.

LETTERS from Lyons state, that during the repre.
sentation of the Marriage of Figaro, on the 6th
inst. a horrible attempt was made at the Theatre,
but fortunately the consequences were not so serious
as might have been expeded. A case containing, as it
was supposed, about half a pound of gunpowder, was
placed on the top of the Staircase leading to the
Side.boxes, and during the first Act, an explosion
took place, and a small part of the wall was forced
out, but fortunately nobody was hurt. The alarm
Was general, and the performance did not go on.
The perpetrator of this crime has not yet been dis-
covered, but the Police are taking every means to
find him out.,

the Austrian Government, left Constantinople on
