The Emperor was fired at this evening at half-
past 9 o'clock while he was entering the Italian

Opera in the Rue Lepelletier.

Some persons in the street were wounded.
The Emperor showed himself to the people at

the doors of the Opera-house.

He was received with enthusiastic cheering.
He remained till the end of the opera.
On his return at midnight he was hailed by
the enthusiastic cheers of an immense multitude,
which was waiting for him in the streets.

The following despatch, of the same date,
gives another version of the occurrence :
This evening, about nine o'clock, as their Ma-
jesties the Emperor and Empress, on their way
to the Opera, were passing the Rue Rossini, three
violent e*plosions took place. Fortunately their
Majesties escaped unhurt, but many of the at-
tendants on horseback, and several of the spec-
tators who were in the Rue Lepelletier, were
wounded.

On their Majesties making their appearance in
the theatre they were saluted with the most voci-
ferous and heartfelt acclamations.

The dastardly attempt at assassination has raised
a storm of the most violent indignation in the

breasts of the Parisians.

TURKEY.

A letter from Vienna of the Bth says :—" The
Porte on the 26th ult. requested the Government
of Servia to send to Constantinople all the docu-
ments relative to the trial of the persons con-
nected with the recent plot. But it refused,
and in an energetic note cowplainel of the Turkish
commander of Belgrade for having, in conjunction
with the French and Russian consuls, taken the
accused under his protection. In a second note,
the Servian Government protests against the clause
in the treaty of the siverain states of the Danube,
approved of by the Porte, which requires Servia to
establish a navigable channel near the two Iron
Gates, whilst Austria and Wallachia will have only
to blow up each some rocks for that purpose. The
Servian Government contends that the expense to
it of removing the gates as required would be
graater than the advantages to be derived from
the free navigation."
