OT THE
ATTEMPT tO I,olsog LOWS XVIII.

RE Pr Atsti information, bdt to which the atten„
tion that it merited was not pal& .announced,: that
softie attempt against the petson of the King was
in agitation. At length, on the 40 ,of last July,
the infernal plot which was prepared-at St. Cloud,
by the Foreigner who aspires to seat himself on the.
Throne of St. Louis, wa, fully brought to H&c:
On Friday,, the. 2oth,cljuly;two- men catne_to a
billiardatable kept by a person of the naine of
Coulon, a Frenchman, and put many indifferent
questions ,to him concerning .the King ; 'they
seemed to be acquainted 'with Coulon's
_intimacy
with the King's servants, and particularly with his
Cook.

Next day the same men came luck, and .abked
Coulon, in a more
.direct . manner, '1.,. Whether the
,King went abroad frequently ?—if he went out tsy
himself ?—what were the number and persons of his
rkrte I.—and if they were armed ?" Coulon, thinking
these questions ,did not arise from mere curiosity,
gave no each point the answer required.
In the course of the conyersitio,n, the two persons
inquired, to whom the billiard.table belonged ?
" It is mine (said Coulon). but I have not paid for
it." 'then, do you cxpell tql pay fur your
, establishment ?" 44 I gut a loan of the money, and
I intend to pay for it' out,of the profits." " There
is a way (replied the strangers) by which you
might immediately gain a great deal of 'money."—
" And how su ?" 44 We will Kit you ; but t!'e
thing is to be a profound secret." "..0; ;11 that
were all," said Coulon, 44 But take care.; your
I
ife
"might be in danger." 44 Never mind ; say
on.

The men then, explained to him their plan; and.
said, that being acquainted with all the servants of
the King's family, and *particularly the Cook, he.
could go into the kitchen at any time without ex.
citing any suspicion. "If you shOuld succeed (atitieiti
they) your fortune is made."
Coulon hesitated ;—spoke of his wife. The two
strangers sent for punch and made Coulon drink,`
and his wife also (the latter understanding, but little
French, took no part in the conversatiOn). " Take
no appreliensiop about ycur ivife (said they next
we will carry her to France along with you ; aud.
'!C repeat it, your fortune is made."
, The glasses of punch went round briskly. Coulon,
',Pang to intoxicate himself, would,drink no more.
Illey separated; and on seeing them to the door,
Coulint heard the two strangers say to each other, in
bad Italian, " Time presses; we have not a moment
to lose."
Next day, Sunday the zzi, a man called twice
during the forenoon at Coulon's. He was gone out.
In the evening a man he did not know catne and
-tisked him to walk along with him a few yatits; and
spoke of the conversation that had taken place the
tisy before. Coulon agreed. The unknown carried
him into the 'fown, then to the New Town,.
and then into a house, the situation of which he
Could not point nut, on accOunt of the darkness of
the night; and the winding lanes by which he had
been condoned to it. There they found one of the
two persons he had seen the night before, who aaked.
him, as did the man who had been his guide,' if
be still persisted in his resolution ? Coulon• replied
"Nes ; why nor ?" Cilampaigne was called in:
They Idi.to drinking, and oil; of the two strangers
got drunk.
The following is the manner in Which it iias re.

' Coulon was to go and visit the King's Cook, and
telt birn thatr ti:iier'paSt he' had not any

M. the President Dc Hoym on thisoiccasion dis.
played a zeal with which M..D'Avaray was much.

On the morning of ,11 e2od M.: D'Avaray sent
for the King's Cook:oand after havingbound him.by •

!lotv him to-come neaothepot:•
On the other hand the Baron De Milleville had
i been ordered to, send Coulon, orders to, repair to the
rendezvous appointed at cleyeo jnohoevening, the
same day, olohe 2311 July. ,• • : . • o --;
,Coulonoobeyed with fear, ;,After passing the Bars
tier leading to!the. Village Neuf; .be Ayes,. folloned•
by: a man,,who in a, few .minutes cried--."..Are
Coulon ?". " Ye.," replied..be... Then another
man came out from a field of corn.. Both-of ..them
told Coulon not to go ,any farther, lest the. dogs,
should raise' an alarm., They asked him if he con.
filmed' in the sitne.intentions.,?„ -Coulon answering
in, the affirmative, they gaVe him ape ket and six
crownsoexpressly recommending to him not to turn-
, the packet upside, down, because it cOntained, car.
rots, hollow in the inside, and what was in them
might fall out.
Coulon ActQ.4l)3M the money promised. • The
others answered Oust they could porgive mare, hat.,
' ing already been several times deceived,' and not
considering themselves perfettly sure of. him. On
this, Coulon said to them, " if you distrust me, let:
one of y,ou go along with nat,,l will get him intro_
'. duced." They refused, saying it-was impossible ;
besides. too,,,heomight have already .prated of.rhe
.affair, though they tit 4 not .believe he had. "For.
the reit," added they,.'' if you donor .succeed,, it,
will be your own tank; if you do, you have only to
un..Saturday to ,Secboczer. The Postmaster
of the place, who knows you, will make you wel.
come, and will give you whatever you want. When
you arrive there, we will give you "the 400 Louis
d'ors, and we will set off for France, together. If
you do not do this on Smuttily, on Sunday you
shall not he in life. We have promised. you 400
louis d'ors, but you shall have too more tot every,
person who dies within a month."
They then pointed out to him the forty-fifth tree
from the Barrier, on the road to Village Neuf. At.
the foot of this tree they buried a handkerchief, one
of the corners of which they'left above'the ground.
Should Coulun be unable to execute the projea in
the course of Tuesday the 24111, lie was to take
away the handleerchief, and in case of success, lie
was to leave. it., •
;On leasing him they. give him a small bottle, and
said to hiM, " You will drink two glasses of, this
le:lote entering, which will give you courage, anti
when you have put in; the packet you need nut be
afraid, because it will not operate suddenly."
They,then told him) that if he . should remove
the handkerchief, they would see him 'again in the
evening: Coulon.asked where ? They told hintoo
give himself no trouble, for. they kneW very well'
where to finti hini.•
...Coulonodeelared.that he could not be certain ''if
the.two men who met hini- on the •night between-the
23n1 and the 24111 where "the same who first made
the proposition to him ; but that he' was very ter.!
rain .that. the ~tallest of the two, who was present'
at all, the, interviews, Was the•perion who gave him
the packet, and placed the handkerchief,
The two into followed him- to •the- end of.the road.
On. Their' leaving' him •he 'tainted away,oaed was
assistedby:a Prussian !Officer', 'who happened to be
passing: s• - •
All these 'Jae ate .eitteaßed from a declaration
which; Coulon made on the 24th: -On the evening
of the sime.day,_ he added to-his former declaration,'
that the street.to which he had been condo:led by
the two strangers was Siege.voiorre (Siegen4treet).
He thinks he entered i sort of court surrounded with
houses. , Asfar as he'could judge,-he went out by a
different door from, that he •eniered by-, -and before
which there were•trees,afaa pallisade of planks. He
was in a chamber an the,3eennAi floor,, whichbad two
windows, - arid
,where there- was' a chest of drawers,
pained of a pale mahogany colour, and placed- chase
by one of the windows..
On the-morning-of -the 24:h, Coulon carried the
packetand the bottle to M. de Milleville,'who Went
instantly to Lazienky, and communicated the whole
to the Countil'Avaray. This Nobleman having lied
a conversation-ill everiing with the President de
Hoym, wrote to him requesting an interview. M.
de Hoyrn reptired at ten 'in the 'Opining to the house
of-the Ctittio.-d"Avarayo who communicated to -him
the declatat ion of Conlon, and shewed him the picket
and the bottle. . The Count d'Avaray requested the
~'resident tie Hoym to sign art attestation of the com-
munication made to him. M. d'Avaray, who had
put his seal'on the articles committed to him by M.
de Milleville, asked M. de Hoyrn to do the same.
M. de Hoym, who had at first yielded to the rea-
sons which M. d'Avaray gave for identifying the
suspeeted articles, till they should he submited to-a
chemical analysis by some profeesional men, theu
refused to affix his seal : lie would not even accom.
patsy him to the Archbishop of Rheims, whose house
was close by M. d'Avaray's. On leaving. him, he
renewed his' assurances of the respell and devotion
he entertained for the 'person of the King and his
august family ; and it was agreed, that the Count
d'Avaray should transmit to Nl.* HO) 111 such ul-
timate details, as. might appear necessary to enable
him to discover the criminals.'.
The Marquis of Bonnay, an Officer of the Garde
de Corps, honoured with the King's confidence, and
intrusted with his Correspondence, was employed
by M. IY/s/nay:to transmit to M. De. Hoym
the
particulars requested. .
To supply as much as possible die want of the seal
of the Count Dc Hayrn, the Count D'Avaray went
to the house of the Archbishop of Rheims, who had
heerr previously informed of the affair, and requested
him to affix hii seal,. which he
The King had' fixed his departure fur the next

intArth His .I\44jesty of the whole affair; that he
might aet in future by his orders. The King dis-
covered or: this occasion a warm solicitude f:r his
I,lthily, and faithful servants; but in Fes'ped to him-
self the -same serenity he has discovered on every
Occasion. His Majesty.wrote to the Treat.
dent De Hoym the followingletter

tion.. In either case I. find' it necessary to canter with yeti:-
I beg at you to conic this evening, when I shall havethe ad-
- ditional satisfaetion of assunng you, Bec." •
The Count d'Avary did not find M. de Hoym at
home, and.hadmok an opportunity of,gi ving him the
:King's letters till nine o'clock at night, M. tie Hoym
replied verbally, that he, should have the. honour to
send an answer to M. the Count de:Lille, and that
next day lie would attend his commands. He added,
that every thing was in the hands of. the Police, and
should be followed up with Atli vity, M. d'Avaray
pressed his surprize that Coulon had not yet been ap.
prehended, whose tour was.perfeftly well known, as
it was important that,he should be, striCtly examin.
ed, whether his declaration was true, or whether he
was an itnpovor: - "

The 231 July, .the day fixed for the departure of
the King, arrived. .No answer from
.M,:.le Hoy in
having been received by His Majesty, he was
obliged to postpone his j"urney, and charged the
Cotint d'Avaray to communicate the affair to M.
the Duke d'Angouleme, requesting him not to.ap-
pl;ize Madame. The Count. d'Avaray gave a de.
tailed account of the affair to the Duke d'Angvu.
leme in the presence of the Count de.la Chapelle,
whom the King was to leave at Warsaw, charged
with` Special poivOS' for the further,investigation of
this affair.

The Count D'Avaray transmitted to M. de Hoym
the suroiementarY- declaration made by Coulon, on
the 24th in the evening.
The answer of M. de Hoym arrived on the morn.
ing the 25th. It'stated, " That the nature of
his duties did not .pertnit,llitn to performlnore than
•
a merely passive part in such an affair ; and that he
had given the Police•the necessaryinstruttions."
The King haying' no longer any hope of seeing
•
M. de Hopi), and of communicating verbally with
him, thought it time.,w make a demand in form,
which he did in the following terms , -
The Count Lille has received the answer of the Presi- •
dent de I loyrn to his letter of the' 24iii or lulyt, in which he
promised to wait on lint. He 'relies too muck on the friend.'
ty solicitude of Ilk Prussian Majesty towards into and his.
family, and on the sentiments, of personal attachment of
which the Presidentve Hoyin has given so tuaity proofs, not
to be convinced of the activity with which ritose measures
will be carried into eixecution that were ordered in conse-
quence of the declaration titarle by the pirSon called Conlon.
The Count de, Lille had expected that the President de
Hoym would have come on his invitation, but finding front
his letter that he would not come to Lazienky, he finds it ne-
cessary to make thefollowing demands :
1. That the person called. Coulon, along with his Wife,
be secured, in ordbr, that they may not 'effed their escape
and that they may undergo,, as soon as possible, the neces-
sary examination- "
2. That there' he immediately nominated professional men
to assist and co-operate' with the Pnysician of the Count di:
Lille, in analyzing the articles4;onsidered as stispiciaus, and
given up by Coulon.'
114„"the Couth de,Lille hopes that the President de Hoym
will Nye no objection to hive fnm immediate satisfaction iii
those Several respects.
' Wiwtever may be the result of those measures, 'the Count
de rine relies Wifh confidence en the cautions' of the Presi-
dent do Hoym, tiq the safety of those dear and precious ob-,
itpi ',Which he leaves here under the Piotedioti of His Pros-.
sian Majesty. '
.

. The Duke.de Pienne,•chartedby His Majesty to
caify:this to M. de floym,.returned with, the an-
swer, "that 'the Police was apprized of the ,whole
affair; and that it would do its duty." This might
be siatiafandry in regard to Cooloti,'but was by 'no
means an answer to the demand made of professional
people t.a analyze the articles in qttestinn. it was
now six._in the eyening; and thelc.itigii-note had.
been Sent at' two 'in the afternoon, Notwithstatid.
ing 'the danger of a delay, which 'might alter the
nature of the articles contained in the packet, the
King Wail, !in.,,Xr, the necessity of waiting, till next
day for the answer of the' Government.

ion. •
.On the z6th,at' eight in the morning, the King
receiVed-alt insiver from' M. de tioytn. It stated,
44 that the rumination :of a, coincuition' for the
analysis demand;:i% 'depended neither on him nor
the Police ; that it could'only take place sub.equent,
ly to a Criminal process already begun that the
pers6n of Coulon could not be sectiOd, because the
laws of chi Realitt did not permit his imprisonment
so long as he was not.charged with any crinte,'"
Without losing a inoment, the:Count I)',Avaray,
accompanied by the Mike de
,Phyaieian, went to Dr. Gagatkiewiez,_ prie.of the
most, distinguished physicians 'ar•Warsaw..for his
skill and moral •ciraratier. There,-''irr presence of
Dr.. Bergerizoni, and M. .Gucleiti ap:llieCary, the
Count I)'Ava'ray liroke open the seals' affixed to the
packet by him and the Archbishop of Rheims, took
out one of. the three castors, and subMitted it to.ths
Medical Men present. The opening made' at .one
of .the eXttemities was pasted over 'with n-alimmy
substance, of .a colour resembling, 'in some degree,
that of pease. M; Gulch opened it. When they
had finished their 'chemical 'operations,- they drew
up a protes.verbal, and delivered, in the 'mean
time, to M. D'Avaray the following attestation :
4‘ After several chemical experiments made on the mass
found in the inside of a carrot which was delivered to us. it
appears beyond a doubt that this mass is apoison of arsenic,
consisting of a mixture of three sorts of arsenic.—white, yel-
low, and tad, as shall be afterwards mere particularly stated.

Dr. Bereenzont being obliged to attend a very pressing
engagement, only signed the prom: vcrlhal.
The bottle delivered to Coulon by the two
strangers, only contained a spirituous liquor.
The carrot an which the experiment had been
made, was returned into,the packet,and again sealed
with the seal of the Duke de, Pierre, with that of
the Count d'Avaray; and those of the professional
'men resent.-reflie sime precataion was observed
with respea to the other two untouched carrots,

•
remanding the eitstence anti nature at the poison, fa'
King addressed the following Note to the Presideni
delly, chief of the.ipecial Police of th,e City, to
whom M. de Hoym, alledging incompiten4i
had-recornmerled the affair :

• - •
M. the Count de Lille was obliged, according to the
fortns pointed out to him, 'and which he 11..6 hitherto von..
stantly toilowedi to address-the Presitlent d Ho'Ym, as, Chief
of the Province, for the prosecution of the attempt denounced ; •
:by the, said Coulon. But M. the' Pretidetit ilc Iloym, by Ins •
letter Ot the art; received this morning, having declared itiff:;
self incompetent to judge of this affair" and that the businc.s
belongs to,the Special Police of the City, M. the Count de --
-I.llle addressee with the saute confidence the Vresident de

vdered as suspicious ; but which the report made and signed' '
this day by the medical men 1 which report the Cunt
rot. is also charged.to deliver to him) really proves to ne'r.it

BesidcS„.this man Coulon', in consequence Of the thrtatS
he sayS Were made to hint, thitilting his life continually
-posed, At the Count-de' Lille; without alio-Wing himself o,*
give his personal opinion as to the truth of the-inform:llAM
given by him, thinks himself bOund to plaCe him specially-
under the' proteaion and &diploid of the police and of the
laW,

" M. the Count de Lille has always had too much reason
to be satisfied with the condtiel of M. the-President de T:liy,
to doubt hus a4tivity in following up this affair in such a
Manner as toclets4 the guilty:

•t He seizes with pleiisttie this opportuntty of assuring.
M. the l'reMent de Tilly of the raped he entettainb tor
him."

M. de Tilly was not to be found on the 260.
The King's Note, .and the packet coaling thc
Report of the Professional, Men, and the substaotiiii
roof of the crime, did not reach him till the 2.7(h.
In the evening 14,;1 .:Tilly returned an answer, ae.,
knowledging the, receipt of the King's Note and
l•Letter of M. d'Avarty: He stated, " that iri
quality of Chief of the Polite, 'he kept the packit
;put into his hands in order to be delivered as farther,
'orders might be given. Hot that he could nut on
any account proceed, against , those who were sup.
posed guilty of the affair in question—since it is
solely Within' the sphere of justice that the cicarnitta.-
lion of every thing tonne led With it Can now be'
eferred."

Hitherio' M. d'Avaray had thought it proper to.
,avoid all dire t communication with
;Coulon, in;
order to leave to the Police the commencement of
the measures to he taken respeCting him. The Ma.
:gistrate haiing taken up the affair, and Coulon re-
maining at large in Warsaw, M..d'Avaray was of
. . .
opinion that II was 111$ right and duty to examine
him liimseif. lie sent for him to the house of M.
de IVlilleville, on the 17th July, and in his presence,
and ihat of the Duke de Pienne, Cqulon narrated
all that had' passed. The Count d'Avaray put
questions to ensnare him ;. affeftedoo allude to irrl,
,poilant eircUmsiances with which he (the Cou-ni)
was acquainted, and which Coulon did not leveal..

'Coition' did not vary in hit declarations, was firm
in all his assertions, was. decided, upon some cit..
cuMstancei which at first hail appeared doubtful.
The. Count I)lA.varay requested Coulon. nut tti
give way to his 'apprehensions and not quit the
town, assuring him that the King had I,laccd him-
.ander the protection of the Police..and the Law. The
following day, the 38,h, Coulon underwent a new
examination, and his answers were such, that the
persdris le whom they Were' communicated, con.'
vinced of the truth of his information, have2added
