PARIS, TUESDAY.
The Emperor has addressed an autograph letter
of thanks to Queen Victoria, her Majesty having
at once written to him on hearing of the attempt
on his life.

There are now eight Italians in custody ; the
examinations are going ca, but still with much
secresy, and anything thst may be said of the
nature of the disclosures, if disclosures they may
be, must necessarily be conjecture.
The Spectat,eur has been suppressed.
The Frankfort Diet has postponed for one month
its vote upon the dispute relative to the German
Duchies.

Orsini, or Count Orsini, as he has been called,
and as he very likely may be, is so seriously in-
jured by the explosion of the grenade which he
threw that he is not considered likely to live.
When he was asked his name, at the time of his
examination by the magis';rate, he said, " What
matters ? Our name is Legion."
The Firmln for the dissolution of the Divans of
Moldavia and Wallachia has been forwarded from
Constantinople to Jassy and Bucharest.

Ferruck Khan has returned to Paris from Lon-
don and purposes leaving France for Persia in the
course of next month.

" We understand," says the Messenger du Midi,
" that the Emperor is expected at Marseillei to-
wards the commencement of April. The council-
general of the department has opened an unlimited
credit for the embellishment of the Prefecture,
where it is thought the Empress and the Prince
Imperial will reside daring an excursion of his
Majesty to Algeria."

The Emperor has received a letter from the King
of the Belgians, congratulating his Majesty on his
escape on the occasion of the late attempt.
The Moniteur publishes a further account of
the indignation expressed by various foreign
Courts ou hearing of the attempt of the 14th.
On the news reaching Vienna, the Emperor
immediately ordered Count de Buol to express
to the Emperor and Empress of the French, in his
name and in that of the Empress Elizabeth,
their congratulation on the providential escape.
At Dresden Baron O'Brya waited on the French
Minister to offer the congratulations of the King
and Queen of Saxony. M. Forth Rouen received
similar marks of sympathy from the Prince Royal,
Prince George, the President of the Council of
Minister., from all the diplomatic body, and from
a number of persons of all ranks. The King of
Hanover, on receiving the intelligence, addressed a
letter to the Chargé d'Affaires of France, in which
he begged him to transmit to their Majesties
the expression of his horror at the crime, and
of his gratitude to Providence for their escape.
Similar communications were made to the
representatives of France at Frankfort, Weimar,
Darmstadt, and Cassel.
The New Prussian Gazette of the 16th, in speak-
ing of the attempt says :
" It is by the hand of God that the destinies of nations
as well as of individuals are guided, and happy is he
whose mind is impressed with that conviction. The
murderous band have again discharged their balls against
the Emperor of the French. Without the will of God,
however, not a hair of our head can fall. The Almighty
pursues his own selected path' and if he selects a
man for his work, be does not permit that work to
be disturbed even by the infernal machines or the
poignard of the bandit. It was in vain also that
assassination was attempted on Napoleon I. ; it was
necessary that his destinies should be accomplished.
Republican conspirators also fired on Louis Philippe,
but none could kill him. All is in the power of God,
whether to humble or to exalt, to level with the dust or
to place on the throne, and he does each in his own good
time."

The whole of the German press, without any ex-
ception, speak in indignant terms of the attempt on
the Emperor and Empress, and brand with repro-
bation the conduct of the revolutionary party in
employing such detestable means to effect their
purpose.
