that it is eternal, and that you can exist only for a usy.

Nor, we will add, will any proposition that can be
made appear satisfactory, nut to M. Da LADITTE, who
is, as be always was, a mere nonentity, but to the
Cossack alliance, of which he is the tool, which shall
not bind the English Minister to join the conspi-
racy of reactionaries for deposing the PRESIDENT and
betraying the: Republic ; and the;main object of this
diplomatic rupture is to preirent the Marquis of
NORMANDY from having. any communication with the
PRESIDENT, who is now.isolated from his friends, and
will be betrayed, as he was betrayed 10 years since at
Boulogne, by the same parties for the same objects.
His uncle JERoME, the only surviving brother of the
EMPEROR, is perfectly aware of the machinations of
which it is sought to make his nephew the victim, and
has exposed them, it is said, to the PRESIDENT whose,
only hope of safety now consists in throwing himself
upon the people.

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE KING

OF PRUSSIA.

Accounts from Berlin of the 22d state, that on that
morning an attempt bad been made to assassinate the
King of PRUSSIA at Potsdam.
A sergeant of artillery fired a pistol at his Ma..
JEST; and inflicted a flesh wound in the arm. The
man was immediately seized. The KING at once re-
turned to Charlottenburg, and received the congratu-
lations of his family, the Ministers, and the diplo-
matic corps, on his escape.
The name of the attempted assassin is SEFELOGE.
The Plenipotentiaries of the Austrian League met
at Frankfort on the 17th, and declared themselves a
a plenary Assembly of the Confederation.
Accounts haie been received from Vienna to
the 18th.

The Wiener Zeitung states, that a mysterious
tumult took place a few days ago in the garrison of
the newly-recruited Honveds, which parties inte-
rested are endeavouring to hush up. A young Hun-
garian nobleman (Honved), who had been refused
permission by his captain to go to a coffee-house,
unable to resist the solicitations of some corporal,
who promised to be responsible for this petty insub-
ordination, quitted the barracks. The captain, upon
hearing this, gave orders that the young nobleman
should be flogged upon his return.
All the corporals of the battalions refused to raise
their hands to carry out the sentence, and a corporal
of the Haynau Regiment of Infantry was summoned
from another barrack, and commenced putting the
sentence into execution ; but be had inflicted only
a few blows when the young nobleman sank down in
a fit of apoplexy. In one moment all the Honveds
rushed upon the captain and put him to death. On
the same evening the entire troop was disbanded.
