EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(From the Times.)
The contents of the Paris papers of Saturday,
which we have just received, are not important.
Our King's speech, on the prorogation of Parlia-
ment, had been received, and was published in the
afternoon edition of Galignani's Messenger. It does
not seem to have produced any impression in Paris.
According to the Constitutionnel, each of the French
Ministers was busy in preparing for the new budget,
from which that journal infers that the Chambers
will meet on a much earlier day than the ministerial
papers had led the public to expect. The Swiss
cantons have already put in readiness a force of
100,000 men, which was considered quite sufficient
to maintain the national independence. Addresses
to the Kings of Bavaria and Wurtemburg were in
the course of signature among their subjects, en-
treating those two Sovereigns to resist the dictates
of the Diet. The last private accounts received
from Munich in Paris state that the King was really
disposed to maintain the constitutional rights of the
Bavarians. We are sorry to find that the arrange-
ment lately entered into for daily communications,
by post, between London and Paris, will not be put
into execution until the Ist of April. No reason is
stated for the delay. A letter from Bologna says,
that the Pope's army now amounts to 16,000 men,
Swiss auxiliaries included.

ATTEMPT UPON THE LIFE OF THE KING OF
HUNGARY.

The following intelligence, dated Vienna, Aug.
9, was received yesterday by express :—" A report
was spread to-day that an attempt was made this
morning upon the life of the young King of Hun-
gary at the baths of Baden (about fifteen miles from
Vienna). But the inhabitants have been at the
same time assured that Providence turned aside the
blow. The following are the details of this event :
—" This morning, after mass, the King, attended
by the Gentleman of his Chamber, Field Marshal
Count Salis, took his usual walk on the road to-
wards Berg. On arriving at about one hundred
yards beyond the last house in the direction of the
Valley of St. Helena, a Captain named Reindl,
who was a state pensioner, fired a pocket pistol at
the King, the ball of which struck his Majesty on
the left shoulder, but fortunately lodged in the wad-
ding of his coat, and only occasioned a slight con-
tusion. In an instant three persons, who happened
to be near, ran to seize the assassin, who, after
throwing away the pistol he had fired, discharged
another into his own mouth, the ball of which lodged
in the roof. He then fired a third pistol at random,
on which he was seized, and taken to the Hotel de
Ville, at Baden, and afterwards conveyed to Vienna.
The wound in his mouth is not of a serious nature,
and it is evident that all the three pistols were badly
charged. The King, without displaying the least
emotion, immediately returned into the town on
foot, and went to the Emperor, in order to con-
vince him by his presence that there were no
grounds for apprehension. Reindl, who was a man
of extravagant and disorderly habits, had applied to
die young King for a grant of 900 florins, but hav-
ing received only 100, he became so enraged that
he committed this desperate act. After undergoing
an examination at Baden,he was brought to Vienna,
and will be delivered over to the military tribunals.
The rage and horror excited by this base attempt
has been so great, both here and at Baden, that it
was with the greatest difficulty the criminal was
saved from the exasperation of the people. At 12
o'clock to-day the Emperor and the King of Hun-
gary attended the ceremony of the consecration of
Cardinal Spinola, and proceeded to the church on
horseback, which afforded the people an opportu-
nity of displaying their exultation at the happy
escape of the son of their Sovereign from a danger
so imminent. The funds, far from having fallen in
consequence of this event, have improved. Bank
Actions are 1,136 37; Metallics 5 per Cents., 87."

It is said that each of the Ministers is busily em-
ployed in preparing for the new budget, and thence
it is concluded that the Chambers will meet on a
much earlier day than the Ministerial journals have
led the public to expect.—C'onstitutionnel.
The France Nouvelle announces that positive in-
formation was received yesterday, confirming the as-
surances of the English Courier as to the accession
of the King of Holland to the arrangements proposed
by the Conference. It adds, that the only secondary
point remaining to be arranged is of so litee interest
to Foreign Powers, that in whatever manner it may
be settled between Belgium and Holland, it may be
considered certain from this moment that it does not
contain the slightest gerM of war.
The Augsburg Gazette of the 14th inst has the
following letter, dated Chambery, Aug. 4 :—" All
the accounts that reach us from Turin and the
western frontiers are of a serious nature. The
sanatory cordon now forming is to extend aiong
the whole of the Sardinian French frontiers.
The Government at Turin is adopting precau-
tionary measures in case the affairs of Italy
and Germany should take an unfavourable turn,
and the French Government should be forced to
an intervention by the opposition party; conse-
quently it is reported that the fortresses will not
only be supplied with provisions, but that war-
stores will be conveyed from the depots of Lom-
bardy to the French frontiers. The works at the
fortifications of Alexandria, as well as at the forts
Bard and Ventimiglia, which had been suspended for
a long time, have been resumed with great activity.
New fortifications have also been added to the fort
d'Exiles on the French side. The contractor for
these works is said to have received a million of
livres, with the injunction to complete them by the
beginning of September. Some surprise is created
by the number of French deserters that come over
into Savoy with their arms and baggage. Of the
7th regiment of light infantry, which is in garrison
at Briancon, parties of from four to six men arrive
frequently. The regiment is to change garrison in
consequence of this desertion. Several visiters of
the waters of Aix, among others Messrs. Puysegur
and Mosson, lately made an excursion to the Mont
du Chat, where they lighted a fire. The great heat
and drought soon caused the fire to spread over the
heath, and it reached the forest. On the Ist inst.
it was not extinguished, and had caused great
damage."
The same paper also contains the following, dated
' Stockholm, July 31 :—" After a stay of eight day 4
at Christiania, the King of Sweden intends to make
a tour through the interior of Norway, to visit the
sea-ports, and then return for a few days to Christi-
ania. It is said that his Majesty, after visiting
Scania, will have an interview with the King of
Denmark ; and some say that the interview will take

general admiration. Whilst the editors of the Boras
and the Stockholm Dagblad, accused on account of
an article against the head of the ecclesiastical de
l
par,ment, have been acquitted by the Jury, the
editor of the Wadstena has been condemned for copy-
ing the same article to pay a fine of 33 rix-dollars."
dent of the 13th instant
The Nuremberg Correspon
announces that the Consort of Prince John of
Saxony was delivered of a Prince on the Bth instant,
at Pilni.z, which was announced to the inhabitants
by a discharge of 180 guns. According to a report
current at Dresden, a matrimonial alliance is in con-
templation
between the co-Regent, Prince Frederick
of Saxony, and a Prussian Princess. The same paper
gives a letter of the Bth instant, from Cassel, stating
that a meeting had been called, for the purpose of
an address upon the late resolutions of the Diet,but
an hour previous to the time fixed, the Conimmis-
' sary of police sent a letter to the parties who had
given notice of the intended assembly, forbidding its
heir)g held until an express permission had been ob-
tained from the Magistrates. This caused a momen-
tory agitation amongst the people, which, however,
was pacified by a notice from the leaders, announcing
that an appeal would be immediately made to the
tribunals against this violation of the Constitution.
The Stuttgard Journal of the 9th inst. states,

that on the 3d, the district of Maulbronn presented
an address to the King of Wurtemberg, against the
resolutions of the Diet, signed by 1,434 persons, in
which the mayors of all the communes joined.

Extract of a letter from Frankfort on the Maine,
dated the 13th instant :-" In consequence of the
disturbance that lately has attended the return of
the Civic Guards from exercise, it had been ordered
that they should go out only on Sunday mornings.
The clergy, however, having complained that the
noise of the music on their return into town, inter-
rupted divine service, it was further directed that
the bands should cease playing on reaching the city
gate. This new regulation was carried into execu•
Lion yesterday, and as soon as the head of the co,
lumn of the Chasseurs of the Guard reached the
gate of Bas-Mein, the music ceased. Upon this the
troops immediately halted, and, notwithstanding the
remonstrances of the Colonel, refused to march el
unless the band continued to play, and so determinel
was the corps in this resolution, that the Colon,
was forced to comply with their demand."
A letter of the Bth inst. from Bologna states, that
the Swiss regiments in the service of the Pope are
nearly complete, and that his Holiness has now an
army of 16,000 men, infantry, cavalry, and artillery,
without reckoning the carbineers or gendarmes. lII'
treasury, however, is empty, but, nevertheless, hit
soldiers, and particularly the Swiss, will expect to be
paid, and, consequently, various financial project'
have been talknd of, but hitherto nothing has beet
' seen but the assignats of Cardinal Albani.
We have received Naples Gazettes to the 2d in'
scant. The following are extracts :-" A few day'
since, as a grave-digger was employed in opening I',
grave, in the commune of Ebeli, for the purpose 0'
adding to the number of its tenants, he was surf°•
cated by the mephitic vapour arising from it. Twe
of his comrades, who successively descended tt
assist him, shared the same fate ; and although me
dical assistance was promptly procured, all effort
to restore animation were unavailing."-." On th.
23d of July Vesuvius presented some remarkabl
phenomena. About an hour before noon on that
day, a small crater was formed in the interior of Of,
ancient one, directly under that which was forme',
in March last. An irruption immediately tool'
place of liquid volcanic matter, which, after remaill.
ing suspended an instant in the air, fell back into Ole
crater. Up to the 29th the mountain continued t°.
throw up at intervals Plaines and stones. On the
morning of that day the eruption became more COn'
siderable, the stones were thrown up nearly halt.,l/
mile in the air, falling back like hail on the who)
circumference of the crater. The explosions e,i
curred at intervals of scarcely three minutes, a°
were heard at a great distance. In five days o'e
crater was enlarged to '250 feet. On the sat
evening 13 streams of lava, all of which, however'
are small and unimportant, found vent from the ill'
side of the same crater ; two of them took the di'
rection of the Torre del Greco, following the
tract of the former ones ; others remained al
the cone itself, and the remainder scarcely passer"
the edge in the direction of Boscotrecase.
shall continue to record all the phenomena
which may subsequently occur."-" A storm a'
extraordinary violence, although of but short du:
ration, occurred OR the 24th of July, and occasioned
great injury to the city of Foggea and the surrounev
ing country. It commenced with a terrific hurricane'
which broke nearly all the windows of the house,
and threw down several buildings, amongst other'
the belfry of the church of Nostra Signora Addolo;
rata. This was succeeded by a storm of rain, mine
with hail-stones of extraordinary size. We htl“
not heard of any personal injury being sustained, e;
cept by a boy, who, in running out of the waY
one of the falling buildings, fell and broke his lei'
but the damage done to the olive grounds and ()the,
plantations is immense."
A letter from the Isle of Aix of the 10th instant
states that the Poles who arrived by the S'auni°ll
had been landed in the island, mid were received
with the utmost cordiality by the inhabitants, the
military, and the navy. In less than six hours the)
were presented for their use a very large supply
wearing apparel of every description.
