PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.
The 3loniteur contains the following :
" The Emperor and Empress this day, at two
o'clock, visited the military hospital of Val de
Groce. The gendarmes of the Guard of Paris,
wounded on the 14th, were the especial objects of
their Majesties' solicitude. They inquired after
their cond tion with the most touching anxiety.
" The Emperor, during his visit, nominated
Quartermaster Samuel, who was severely wounded
oo the 14th, to the rank of sub-lieutenant in the
Guard of Paris.

Quartermaster Brunet, also wounded on the
same evening, received the cross from his Majesty's
hands, as didthe private of the Guard, Hendon.
" Berea, Dahlen, Gomery, and Rinntgny, of the
Guard, all wounded, received the military medal.
" The gunner Charreau, of the Ist Regiment of
Artillery, and the Voltigeur of the Imperial Guard,
Moulton, -both wounded in the Crimea, also re-
ceived the ,military medal.
" The invalids, deeply affected by the kindness
of their Majesties, pressed round them to show their
gratitude and their devotion."
The papers are still crowded with innumerable
addresses of congratulation from all parts of the
Empire.
The indictment will, it is said, comprise only
four of the prisoners now in custo ty oh the charge
of attempting the assassination of the Emperor ;
the evidence against the others is not complete.
These four have been already specified—Pierri,
Orsini, Da Silva or Radio, and Goumez. Orsini
and Pierri are not very communicative in their
answers to the questions put to them ; Rudio is
said to have fully avowed his crime, but it is no-.
known whether he has implicated any third parties.
Rudio threw two of the grenades; Orsini had two
Also to throw, but, being severely wounded by the
first, and seeing all chances were against him, he
slunk away, and deposited his other grenade and
a revolver in the Rue Rossini, and retired home.
The revolver, with marks of blood on it, was after-
wards picked up, and on examination found Ito be
of Davisme's manufacture. This led to inquiry and
the discovery of the person who bought it.
The guumakers who were selected to examine the
projectiles presented their report this morning,
from which it appears tha- each grenade was so
prepared as to be capable of killing or woundng
nearly 100 persons.
A set of queries has been prepared by the magi-
strate who is collecting evidence against the pri-
soners, to forward to Florence Naples, Rome, and
and other places in Italy, with a view to ob.ain
information respecting them.
It is now stated as certain that an expedition
against Cochin China is resolved on. The French
will establish themselves in the Bay of Tourane,
which was formerly ceded to them in a legal form.
Operations, however, are not to he commenced
against Cochin-China until after the capture of
Canton and whatever other proceeding it may be
necessary to pursue in China.
