A.TTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE KING
LOUIS PHILIPPE.

(From Gaiiipmia's Messenger.)
We unlerstand that several days ago, General Baron Athalll4
was warned by anonymous letters, that an attempt was to bta
during the review upon the life of the King, and on
Tersday morning one was sent to the Baron, stating that his
Majesty would be fired upon with musketry from the re,,A or the houses; but as no point was iedicated, it was too late t
make the necessary examinations, sod yet the yii.ant eye of tbl
General watt upon the window at the moment when the expltgien
took place.
is
F It was geacrally stated yesterday that Clirerd had taken
aim at the King and his sons than was at firs:: supposett, nearer
corroborated by the follieving parag,.aph in the 'mem ps ofThis
this
morning t--" The Ministers, presided by the 1.-:ilase assembled in
Council twice yesterday. After the first Couneil, which broke rail
at ten o'clock, his Majesty felt rather an :mute pain in the head, enuil
did not dine with the family :IS usual. The second Council, liar,
n
ever, Was he'd at eight o'clock. Ode of the Ministers reasmake,i
ecchynaosis in the farehead of the King' who thee a" mitted he
had received a coninsiou from a ball, which he had ',seen desirous
of keening s?cret. It appears that bleeding waseemed advisable.
The Duke of Orleans had also a tiontusion ire the left thigh, near
the knee.- A ball stoma the hind quarters, of the Prinee Of Join-
vine's horse,"
At the utornant of his arrest, ths sees ;sin, who is ao years of age,
arid not 24, as before stateel, declared his name to be jacques
Girard, born at Loleve, where he affirmed he had left his wife and
children- NoLwitt staeding the serious nature of his wounds, 'no
'a expected tq Mime: The explosion of these gun-barrels that
burst st.euek
-titra OvSa one of the eyebrows, the nose, and the lower
Po swl"cn' so much cut that it hung down. Two nngers were
iot

at ever the eye-
which injured the frontal bone. He, is under the care of
Drs. Marjolin, Olivier, and Etnery. 1 wound in the lip, which
at. first prevented him speaking, bealmg been sewn up, he if now
,Lie to converse. He is full strength and energy, and in the full
enjoyment of his intel,leernal faculties. Ile has been interrogated
by the Keeper of t'ne seals, the Proeureur Roi, and also by
2.1 e the
ilfinister of ` Interior. Being questioned as to his motives for
comhaiiiing such a crime, and urged to declare whether he had
any accomplices, he fully admitted his guilt, and said that he
knew his fate was inevitable, but as to his motives, he confined
himself to saying that he disliked the King, and -further
declared, that wmc he even put to the torture, he eould not
name his accomplices—for, in feet and in truth, he hid none.
However inquiries have been rigidly pursued in all the houses sue- -
rounding that in which the internal apparatus was placed, and we
are tout that a woman who resides behind the house lies deposed,
that an instant after the explosion she saw two men, boils woun-
ded, making their escape. Twenty-one were arrested in the cafe,
situated next door to Girard's lodgings, and we are assured that
upwards of 100 arrests have altogether been made.
The lodgings occupied by Girard on the third story consist of
three rooms in depth, one of which has a window looking to the
Boulevard; the second is a small kitchen having a window next
the Court, from which a door opens into the hue des Fosses du
Temple ; it was by this window the assassin endeavoured to escape.
In neither of these rooms was there any furniture. The third was
a dark closet, in which was the straw bed.
It would have been nearly impossible to have chosen a plane
better calculated for the crime than that selected by Girard. It
was, as it were, in a species of bastion, which commanded the
whole way with a space between the foilage of the trees, which
served as an embrasure through which he could mark out Isis
victims. The height at which he was placed allowed him to
level Isis battery so as to reach them- even on the opposite side of
the Boulevard._ In fact, the machine was so constructed that by
means of a lever made of wood the person who had the ma-
nagement of it might easily direct it to right or left, and raise or
lower the muzzles at his pleasure. He might do this, and at
the same time remain at a sufficient distance from the for-
midable instrument; which no deebt seas fired by a match.
A fatal proof of the skill with which the whole apparatus was eon-
ductedais the effect produced by all the projectiles with which the
arms were charged. The number of wounds was very considerable, -
sod yet not a single tree was struck, nor was a mark to be found on
any of the houses or walls; and yet the attack was made from a dis-
tance of 30 yards, and required a very nice calculation of the inch-
natiee. There was, in short, a mixture, of the science and talents
of an ingineer and an artilleryman in the accomplishment of this in-
fi rust act. It is said that Girard had presettLed to the King a model
of a new gun, invented by himself, which was rejected, and that
hence arose his animosity and crime ; but this report is not credited.
Girard was, the Messager says, a workman in the employment of
a dealer its second ha:Attar:D:ls of ail kinds its the Rue Grenetat, and
was more particularly engaged in cleaning and repairing old fire-
; rns& He was not what strictly may be called a journeyman me-
chanic, but was a very-able and skilful workman. The nature of
his occupation allowed him to procure gun barrels, and thus construct
the frightful instrument which has caused so many deaths. He was
known among his companions to entertain legitimist opinions, and it
was even believed that he received a pension from the Duchess of
Angeouleme.
The Constitutionel says :—On the table in Girard's room, it is
said, was found a petition addressed to the King as from an old
soldier, which it oas supposed was intended to have been presented
to his Majesty immediately opposite the window, in order to make
a momentary stoppage,' and thus afford a mere favourable opportu-
nity for committing the intended crime. Girard, when conveyed
to the infirmary at the Conciergerie on Tuesday, was.apparently in
a desperate state ; and the physicians appointed to attend him were
directed to inform the authorities should he recover so far as to be
in a condition to undergo an examination. Yesterday morning, the
Minister of the Interior was called, and he went immediately with
the Procureur da Roi and M. Gashon, sn examining Magistrate,
and interrogatories were put to him during two hours. Girard at
times appeared to be in a reverie, and answered only by signs,
sometimes negative, sometimes affirmw.ive. To questions as to his
political opinions he for sense time remained perfectly silent; but at
last, on being closely pressed, he hastily pushed down the bed
clothes, opened the bosom of his shirt, and showed a large fleur de
las indelibly imprinted on his breast near his heart. This having
produced from those present an exclamation, " You are then
earliatl" he made a strongly-expressive gesture in the affirmative.
This avowal having beets 'forced from him, he became muds more
ceinmunicative as ta,the cireureatances of his crime. He declared
that he came to Paris about six months ago from Lodeve, its the
Ilerault, his native place,- accompanied by an accomplice, whose
name he revealed, and who supplied him with powder and other
reticles requisite fie- the accomplishment of the horrible design.
On the breaking up of the Chamber of Peers yesterday, MM.
Pasquier, Deeezes, Portals, Dc Bastard, and Montalivet, went to
Gira-d, and remained with him till half-past four o'clock. At four
the President of the Conned and the Minister of the Interior ar-
rived, and were at six o'clock still by the bedside of the assassin.
Among the persons who have been arrested en account of the
messaere by Girard, is one against whom there are strong suspi-
cions of his having been an accomplice. His name is Itieireau,
journeyman to a dealer in lamps in the Rue Neuve des Petits
Champs, opposite the Rue Chabannais. On the day before the re-
view, Boircan was visited at the workshop by two personages ele-
gautly dressed. When he was leaving off wcrk, he said to his
master, " If you will take my advice, you will not go to the review
to-morrow, for I know that there will be a disturbance." After
his departure his master, connecting this warning with the previous
visit, became suspicious, and went laid made a commemoration ac-
cordingly to M, Dyonne:e the Commissary of Polio; who was on
duty at the Opera House. Unfortunately, howover, the master
wm unable to state where his journeyman lived ; and consequently
his information could not be immediataty turned to account.
Since the arrest of Girard, the police ahacovered that Boireau lived
at No. 17, Rue Quincampoix, and took him into custody. It
is said that he has confessed that it was he who supplied Gi-
rard with gunpowder, and, he has accordingly been kept in close
confinement.

The number of victims is much more considerable than was at
first believed, Several persons wounded were immediately taken
to their own hons.cs, and therefore were not included in the list
I:efore publ'.shed. Tha number of killed and wounded is said to be
34, inuding 16 who died immediately, or subsequently perished
Front their wounds.

Yesterday the infernal machine was removed from the chamber
of Girard, for the purpose of being produced oil the trial of the pri-
soner. The Cafe tics Mille Colonnes, adjoining the house inha-
bited by Girard, has been converted into a guard-house for the mu-
nicipal guard.

The journal de Parts says—" It does not belong to us to reveal
the secrets of an examination so important and so little advanced as
that into the affair of yesterday, but we are at liberty to say that it
has made great progress, and that there have been collected from
the prisoner expressions, which may serve to make known whether
one man is to bear the whole responsibility of the atrocious crime
which has thrown so many families into mourning, and which seve-
ral of to-day's journals earnestly represent as the crime of an iso-
lated being."
The Gaze:le de France says the signs of the present times, evi-
denced by the trials of La Ronci&e and Bancal, added to the in-
fernal machine of the 29th of July, are truly alarming. These facts
prove a degree of depravity which prepares a sad hereafter for the
country if the contagion be not arrested. But these men are only
the instruments of a system which has spread doubt and despair in
every direction.

At eight o'clock on Tuesday evening, the Deputies remaining in
Pads went to the Palace of the Tuileries, when M. Calmon, as
Vice-President, addressed the King as follows :
" Sire,—The Chamber of Deputies, which so recently offered its
homage to 3-our Majesty, was far from foreseeing that a horrible
crime would shortly bring it back into this place to express its in-
dignation and profound grief. They are the enemies of that France
which enjoys ea much happiness under your reign, who have con-
ceived the dastardly and criminal design of making an attempt on
your life, in order to plunge our country into the horrors of civil
;var. But Providence protects our noble country, and watches over
its King. Providence watches over its young Princes, who, for
the happiness of cur children and their own glory, will follow the
noble example which the Chief of our new dynasty will leave them,
This day, consecrated to national festivity, has become a day of
mourning for all Frenchmen, and for you, Sire, especially, who
have seen fail at your side one of cur most illustrious Alarshls, the
warriors beloved by France, and many of those brava; National
Guards who have so often shed their blood for the defence of the and our Institutions. In speaking to gnu of our devoted-
ness to the Constitutional Throne, to the person of your Majesty,
and to your august family, in ea-pressing the horror which the
Chamber of Deputies feels at all criminal attempts which, tend to
disturb the repose of France, and to interrupt the coerse of its glo-
rious destiny, we speak in the name of our absent colleagues. Such,
cf them, as domestic duties have called to the bosom of their fami-
lies will partake of our sentiments, and will regret to have been
united with us under such painful circumstances."
The King answered :
" I am sensibly affected with the eagerness of the Chamber of
Deputies to afford me a new testimony Of its devottMess. It. has
never lost sight of an opportunity of proving its affection for me
and my family. I thank you for it. lon say with truth that this
day is for me a day of eternal sorrow, 'Yes; I have seen perish by
my side an illustrious Marshal, and brave Frenchmen, whose loss
would be less afflicting had they not fallen by the hand of other
Frenchmen."

In pronouncing these last words, the voice of the King faltered,
and ILs oraAtion was partaken by all present.
Yc4crda',', at ono o'clock, tilt ()Ulcers and many privates of the
Nltionallard of Paris and the environs were reecivea by the
King. The officers of the girrison of Paris, ar.d of the, regiments
of the lane stationed in the environs, were also received by his Ma-
jesty. The most lively enthusiasm was manifested by the officers.
After the receptian, &great number of titiccrsinscribedtheir names
