The Atterrptd Assassination of the Czar.

The following are some further particulars about
Beregowski :—He was born in the district of Dubuc),
iu Volhynia. His family belonged to the United
Greek Church in communion with Rome, but under

he Emperor Nicholas his father was forced to con-

form to the orthodox faith as professed in Russia. En-
gaged in the Polish insurrection, the young man had
to quit his. country ; Ile came to Paris in 1801. llis
desire was to complete his education, and in this he
was assisted by the committee established in France
for the relief of the Polish refugees. He received from
the committee 200 f., which he paid for admission to a
seminary, where he remained for five months, and
was remarked for his application, order, and docility.

When he had exhausted his resources, rather than

Apply a second time to the committee, he entered
the manufactory of the Messrs. Gouin, where several
of his countrymen were employed, and remained
there till the beginning of the present year. lie
had an excellent character among his comrades.
lle had often expressed his desire to go to Galicia
to work as a machinist on the railroad, and had

even taken some steps to be authorised to do so.
Unfortunately he did not carry out his project.
Since the beginning of May he disap-
peared, and it was thought by his acquaint-
ances that be had quitted Paris. None of his
countrymen suspected him of being capable of
committing such a crime. It is certain that,

when it was known that the Czar was to visit

Paris, the most influential of the refugees watched

carefully the conduct of the more " exalted"
among the Poles, but no suspicion ever attached to
Beregowski. I have heard it affirmed that his
father had been transported to Siberia for participa-
tion in the eients of 1863 ; that his mother, who had
followed her husband in his exile, died on the road ;

and that his sister had been subjected to the worst
treatment. He still denies that he has any accom-

plices. On ordinary subjects he is calm, but on
that for which he has now to answer he gets
greatly excited. In the course of his examination he
was asked whether he had performed his Easter duties
this year. He said he had last year, but not this, as he
preferred waiting. He is now in the prison of Mazas,
where he is carefully watched. His wound has
brought on a fever, and by the advice of the prison
doctor he has been admitted to the infirmary. He
speaks but little, and appears uneasy and restless.
Since kis arrest he has taken but very little nourish-

ment—nothing hardly except the broth they give him
m the infirmary. This morning he asked to be al-
lowed to read the newspapers, and seemed annoyed
when he was told it was against the prison rules.

The assassin Beregowski is a year or two younger
than was at first said; he is not more than 21, of
middle stature, fair complexion, strong built. He
speaks French somewhat imperfectly. The state-
ment that he had only arrived in Paris two or three
days before the attempt was a mistake. He has
been here for about two years, working as a fitter
in the foundry of the Messrs. Gouin and Co.,
where he was earning sf. a day. He continued
there till the end of April last, and since then has
worked very little at his trade. Throughout his
examination by the Judge Instructor and the
Procureur Imperial, which lasted far into the night,
the prisoner persisted in his original declaration
that he had no intention of harming the Em-

peror Napoleon, as he had for him and for
France the deepest gratitude for the hospitality
accorded to him and his countrymen. His
design, over which he had brooded for several days,
was to kill the Czar. He stood on the Boulevard des
Italiens on the day of the Czar's arrival, in order to
be able to recognise him when the moment came.
He saw him a second time in the Rue Lepelletier,
when he went to the Opera, and meant to have made
the attempt on that occasion, but changed his mind.
Beregowski had fought in the ranks of the Polish
volunteers organised in 1863. It was on the Boule-
vards he bought the pistol for 9f. which he made
use of, and which burst in his hand. He suffers
greatly from his wound, and passed a restless night.
He is confined in the Conceirgeric, and the state of
his hand was such yesterday that amputation of the
thumb and forefinger was considered indispensable.
It was performed by the surgeon of the prison.
The lady who was standing near the spot when
the attempt was made was wounded, not by the
bullet, which struck the Equerry's horse, but by a
tfragmentliech barrel, which struck her on
pistol
ltanding close to the assassin.
She is from Puy de Dome, and had been only some
cek ofas theee
days in Paris with her husband. The wound is not
serious. It is said that several persons belonging to
the Czar's suite, under the first impressions which
the atrocious deed produced, strongly urged him to
quit Paris at once, but that he refused to do so.
When the shot was fired into the carriage the Em-
preror Napoleon observed to the Czar, " It is a
ole ;" and at the same instant the latter observed,
" It is an Italian," or vice verfa.
The 111oniteur gives some details which corro-
borate those I mentioned yesterday. When the re-
view was over, and the troops had all marched past,
the Empress and the Ring of Prussia got into an
open carriage, which was the first to leave ; in the
second were the Czar and the Emperor of the
French, with the Grand Dukes. The Czar 'was ou
the right and the Emperor on the left, and the two
Grand Dukes on the front seat. Two equerries,
MM. Bourgoing and Raimbeaux, rode on the right
and left of the carriage. When they reached the
cascade of the Bois de Boulogne the Imperial car-
riage was brought to a stand by the dense crowd
which encumbered tho avenue of Longchamps, and
the Emperor ordered the equerries to turn to
the road on the right. There, too, the carriage
had occasionally to stop, and just at the moment
when the passagewas cleared a man stepped forward
to the side where the Emperor was sitting, and fired.
The explosion was unusually loud. Th a equerry, M.
Raimbeaux; who had seen the man moving close to the
carriage, spurred on his horse so as to place it be-
tween the Emperor and the assassin. The horse re-
ceived the bullet in the head, and, in rearing, threw
the blood on the Emperor Napoleon and the Grand
DukeVladinair. The pistol had burst in the assassin's
hand. When the Czar saw his sou's clothes stained
with blood he thought he was wounded, but soon
perceived that no one was touched. The Emperor
Napoleon turned to the Czar, and, smiling, said,
" Sire, we have been under fire together," and the
Czar replied, " Our destinies are in the hands of
Providence." The act roused general indignation.
The crowd threw themselves upon the assassin, and
it was much difficulty that he was rescued from
their fury. The attempt has produced consterna-
tion in the pUblic and the army, from whom the
foreign Sovereigns had received the most respectful
and sympathetic reception.
It is certain that Beregowski at first intended to
have made the attempt on the Czar's life during his
visit to the opera. He changed his purpose. He
was the whole of the evening on the Boulevard
Italien, and at the corner of the Rue Isepelletier
was in the foremost ranks of the crowds which
were waiting to see the cortege pass. He saw
the Czar, and fancied that he was recognised
by his Majesty as a Pole. Ile heard the cries
of " Vive la Pologne," but says he did not join in
them; but declares that from, that moment he
made up his mind to commit the deed. The follow-
ing morning he bought the pistol of an armourer's
shop iu the Boulevard Sebastopol. He tried several,
and selected one, for which he paid 9f. lie then
returned to his lodging to load hie weapon, and, ob-
serving that the bullets given to him were too
small, cast others. On the morning of the at-
tempt he rose early, and left his lodging with
his loaded pistol in his bosom. He break-
fasted on a piece of rye bread, part of a sausage,
and half a bottle of wine ; what remained of
the wine he poured into a bottle, which he put
in his pocket, and thus provided he took his way
,to the 30i4 di Boulogne, lb says he meant to have
