KING :-•

SittE-We shall not attempt to depict the.
horror with which your faithful subjects of tire
("bomber of Deputies are impressed by the crime
which the last night brought forth. We come
to mingle our sorrow with the sorrow of your
Majesty. Already has the consternation spread
tbrotsgh all classes of people in this capital united
itself with public indiguation. On seeing a parri-
cidal hand carry death to the bosom of the Prince
whom we deplore, France witl form tie wish of
drawing closer the ties which unite the French
people to your august House, without which
neither peace nor public liberty can subsist.
' But your Majesty expects more fortitude of
soul from your faithful subjects of the Chamber
of Deputies. The character of the crime, and the
consequences which it may have, all induces us
to think that your Majesty watches over the wel-
fare of iris people, as we watch over the preset va-
tion of your dynasty.
• It is above all in adversity that Kiugs show
themselves greater than the rest of men. Per-I

goaded that the high soul of your Majesty sur-
mounts its affliction, to prevent the consequences
of an execrable mime, we are ready to concur,
with as much energy as devotedness, in the order
of our Constitutional duties, in the measures which
your Majesty's wisdom may think necessary under
circumstances of so serious a nature.'
The KING replied—

lam deeply affected by the share which the
Chamber of Deputies takes in my just affliction.
I see with pleasure that it is disposed to concur
in the accomplishment of my views in this mo-
mentous circumstance. Let it not doubt, that a
man in heart and a King by duty, I shall take
the measures necessary to preserve the State from
the dangers of which this day's crime but too fully
apprises me.•

" It was half-past eleven o'clock, the Opera
was near its' close, the Duke de Berri had just
handed his Duchess into the carriage, and was
turning round to re-enter the House. At that
moment the assassin rushed forth, pushed M. De
Beaultemont, Aid-de-Camp to his Royal High-
ness, and grasping the Prince forcibly with his
left arm, passed his right over his Royal High.
ness's right shoulder, and stabbed bins be-
low the right breast, between the seventh and
; eighth rib, with a pointed two-edged instrument,
about seven or eight inches in length. The
blow was given with so much force, that the
whole of the instrument entered the wound. The
Prince tottered, and exclaimed, lam murdered.'
At that cry the Duchess of Berri and M. De
Bethizy rushed down from the carriage. It was
that Lady who first perceived that the dagger re-
mained, and who drew it out. The blood imme-
diately gushed forth in such abundance, that both
site and the Duchess were covered with it. The
Prince, who had fainted, was carried into an
adjoining apartment, where his Duchess lavished
the most affectionate cares upon him. It was not
till two o'clock in the morning that he recovered
the use of his senses.—His first words were—;
My daughter, and the Bishop of Amyclea.'—
Both were sent for immediately. He rmbraced
his child with affection, exclaiming, Dear child
mayest thou be happier than thy father.' About
five o'clock the King artived. The first words
addressed to him by the Prince were, Permit,
Sire, that the last grace I ask you, be my mur-
derer's pardon.' The King wept. This is not
the time,' replied his Majesty, to speak of this,
let us think of you.'

" The Plinmanswered, 'let me not be deceived
as to my situation,' and requested the attendance
of M. (le Letil, the fitst Altnoner of Monsieur.—
His Royal Highness received the last Sicratnents,
and gave the best proofs of piety and resignation.

" About bilf-past five o'clock the efforts of
medical skill became evidently useless. The
blood inundated the lungs, and suffocation came on
will) rapidity. At half-pist six the Prince expired,
and the Kin;, who alone of all the number of
the Royal Family had been allowed to remain,
performed the last sad office of closing his eyes
with his own hand.

(From thi Jottrnal des Debats.)

" The assassin's name is Pierra Joseph-Louvet,
by profession a saddler ; be bad been in the King's
own employment during the last three months,
and was lodged in the great stables of the Castle.

—He had never served al a soldier, though it is
said be went to Elba, and was at the battle of
Waterloo. He was near making his escape, and
on being overtaken, replied to the Count de CLEW.
MONT, who asked what could have induced him
to commit inch a crime, ' I wished to deliver
France from its most cruel enemies.' On being
also asked by whom he had been paid for so atro-
cious a crime, he answered, with much indigna-
tion, •I have been paid by no one.' He has
since been examined before the Ministers, when
his replies were as follow :
" R. What induced you to commit this crime ?—A. My
opinions, my sentiments.

" Q. What arc they ?—A. I think the Bourbons are ty-
rants and the most cruel enemies of Frances

" Q. In that supposition why did you attack the Duke de
Berri in preference to the rest ?—A. Because he is the
youngest Prince of the Royal Family, and seemed to be des-
tined to perpetuate that race hostile to France.
" Q. Do you repent your act ?—A. No.
" Q. Had you any instigator, any accomplice ?—A. Norm."

" It is a singular fact {says The Gazette de
France in a note) that the bed in which the Duke
de Berri was Oaccd after receiving his wound,
wAs the first bed on which his Royal Highness
slept at the period of his return to France. M.
Grandsire, at that tittle resident at Cherborg, had

the honour of offering it to the Prince at the mo-
ment of his debarkation. M. Gratidsire, now Se-
cretary-General of the Opera, brooght the bed to
Paris, and had the grief of conveying His Royal
Highness upon it in his last moments."
It would be useless, had we room, to give ex-
tracts from all the Journals upon this melancholy

subject, as they all its substance state the sa°3s
facts, only in different words.
The Chamber of Peers is constituted a Cot'
for the purpose of trying the assassin for
Btb
Treason. The Chamber was specially assembled
for -the purpose of receiving a communication res
apecting the assassination of the Duke de Booßl'
and they voted the address given above.
The Chamber of Deputies also assembled, 011

voted the Address likewise given sheik. A site
ear circumstance previously occurred, M. CLacif3('

CAZES of being an accomplice in the assassitiati°°
of the Duke DE BERRI It is almost needleo9
add, that he was prevented from proceeding i 0
strange an accusation.

The new Election projet was of course odt
presented, and it is asserted in a private lettgri
that the Count DECAZBB has abandoned it 00111
the next year.

All the Courts at Paris were shut, as Well SI
the Theatres.

There is no further news in these Jourai
