OF THE ATTEMPT TO POISON LOUIS

Repeated inforsnation, but to which the attention
that it merited was not ;mid, announced that fosse
attempt agate! the perfon of the Klan was in agita-
tion. At length, on the 22d of Tall July, the infernal
plot which was prepared at Sr. Cloud by the foreign-
er who afpires to feat himfdl on the Throne of St.
Louis, was fully bitought to light.
On Friday,, the ;loth of July, two men ca:ne to a
billiard-table, kept by a perfon of the name of Cou •
cos, a Frenchman, and put many indifferent quef-
tions to him concerning the Kohn ; they fecund to
be acquainted with Coo ton's intimacy with the
Kinct'sfervants, and particularly with his Cook.
The next day they returned in the eveaing, and
alked Couln, in a more direct manner, " If the
Km° went out often r-.. If he was attended ?"
" What was the number and the condition of the
pal-on% who accompanied him:"—" If they were
armed ?"—Couton luppoling that thole quellinns
proceeded from curiolity, gave them the information
they fought for as to every particular.
In the comic of the converfation the two men afked
to whom the billiard-table belonged. It Is mine, laid
COULON but I have not paid for it. The money
was lent me, and I repay it out of the profits. There
is, laid the Strangers, an caly way for you to foon
acquire a conliderable turn of money. How fo? We
will tell-you, but you mutt be fecrct. Oh l obferved
Couton, if that be all! Take care, your life is at
Rake. Well, tell me then.
'Hge men thee difclofed their project to him, and
obferved, that as he was known to all the King's
fervants, and tortenderly to the cool, he could go into
the kitchen without exciting any Itilpicion. If you
fumed, faid they, your fortune is made.
Cous.on hefitated, and (poke of his wife. The two
drangers then ordered tome /mark and treated Cou•
i con and his wife. (The wile underilanding only a
I few worth of French, took no part in the converfa.
• non). Do not bt tinealy about your wife, laid they,
we will take both her and you to France ; and sve
again repeat to you, that your fortune is made. The
Valles of punch circulated pretty freely : COULONO
afraid of becoming intoxicated, retitled to drink any
more. They went away ; and as Couton (hewed
them out he heard them fay, in bad Italian, ' Time
; preffes; we have no time to Infe."
On the next day, Sunday a ad, a man came twice
in the morning to Cout.ne's honk, but he was frcin
; home. In the evening a Stranger came, and acted
him to go a little way with him, and (poke to him of
the converfation that lie had the evening befine.—
i Coo ton contented ; and the Manger first took him
I to the Old Town, then they went to the New Town,
and he was condo:kJ to a houfe, the fituation of
which be could tint as...eitain on account of the dark-
nth; of she night and the byways by which they
went to it. They there found one of the peacoat
whom he had leen the evening before, by whom. as
well as the man who accompanied him, lie was ask-
ed if he persevered in his refolutinn ? Coo Los re-
plied, Yes ; why not They had fame Champaigni
'nought ; they fat down to it, and the men gut
drunk.

This is die manner in which it was -pofed to
tarry tbciz projea into dire

COuton was to go to his friend the Kum'. Cook. .
En tell him that he had not tailed a mutton chop ft r
fume time, and to beg of him to broil him a few.--
Aftbr haying taken the precaution of making bf.
drink pretty freely, be was to throw a parcel that
would be given him into the velrel in which tbefotig
was ufually made. " Very •well." laid COULON.
0 but where is the money you were to have given
me ? You promifed me four hundred Louis. and.
you give me nothini." The firanger that was in-
toxicated laid, " I don't know if • BOY at would give
fo much as that." The other obferved, with font*
degree of impatience, "what is that you fay? Boras
is not in town, he is in the country, and won't be
back thefe two days."
Coulon infifted on having the money, again (poke
of his wife, the expences of his journey. tre. He
was dclired hot so be newel,' on that account t that
he bad oily to come on the next night at elates
o'clock. to a few yards beyond the new village. and
that a perfon there would give him a parcel. which
he was to put into the Coup pot on Tuktday (Jul?
4). That afterwards he was to repair to the pkce.
keuwa dr.tite same of the Five Giallowfes. wbers*
would meet a perfon who work/iv:l kin la • Jima e
/We!, and carry him to France; '4 And my wife!''_
dbferved Cutztoa. " Don't make yourfelf uneary•
here's a ducat for you to treat the Cook with Coate
liquor."
At one in the morning they left that honfe, ara4,
forcing Coutrus along with them, who waked to we
fbr day light, hying that his boofe would be fitutp;.
• ,
they conflated him home by by-ways.
Con tom waited on Baron de Mitts vittt, Elet2
t r the Qlreeo, and difclofed the plot to him.
M taunts. e communicated it to the Duke de Pi-
sear, First Gentleman of the Bedchamber to the'
Klatt, and Count d'A , Captain of his Ma.
,arry's Guard, ordered that it fkould be committed
to writing. and that it mould be figned.
Count d'A thought it is duty to conceal the
danger from his bfajast v, until he had received
more pofitive information.•l he lives of all the Loyal ,
Family were threatened, and be feared that his MA-
jarry's fenfibtlity, alarmed, by the darger of the
and the Duchefs of Argot/am t, would dif-
ride a ferret, the obfervanee of whirl i his courage
would maintain, if his life only were fought.
Without lnfing a moment' Count d'A w de-
man.fed an interview of Prefidenr de Horns and
apprized him of the criminal project ; foggeftiog to
him the neceffity of clew guardirg againti the conk-
quences of fuch an attempt, or t .-rpofing the ova-

ed a degree of zeal which confiderably affeaed Coast
d'Arattar. He androrifed him, in cafe the iefue•

vants to urea the authors of the plot, either at the
place of meeting, at the lee gallowfes, or in the
walks of Lizienkit, and to coodua thee to the
guard houfe, whither the Prefident de Hove pre*
tailed to come in perfon.

. ---
On the morning of the 23d, Corm &Avatar, fent
for the lies:G.6 cook, and having lworn him to pre-
ferve inviolable fecrecy on what humid be communi-
cates: to him. he ordered him to let CO 111;011 COON
into the kitchen, and to give him an opportunity 01
approaching the Coup kettle.
On the other hand, Baron de Isft Lt.evit.is had ht-
arations to tranftnit to Cout.ox an order to go to
therendezeous at eleven at night on the 23d of July.
Coy LON did fu, but under great terror. After
having pallid the gate which leads to the New Vil-
lage, he was followed by a man, whn, after a ftw
minutes, stied him, ~If he MJ.:COVLUM ?" .‘ Yes,"
laid he. Another man then came out of a cora field.
Both of them dared Cout.oa not to go further, for
fear the dogs fhould begin to bark. They Mkt*
him, if lie was Ilia in the fame mind ? The anfwer
of Cotmes biting in the affirmative, they gavelling
a parcel an 3 fix crowns, enjoining him particularly
not to turn the packet upfide down, fir it contained
hollow carrots, and what was in them might fall
out.

Covt.oN afked for the money they premiered him.
The others replied, that they could give him no
more, as they had been deceived already, and did
nor think thenfelves quite lure of him. Upor. which
Covina (aid, if ynu difkrull me, let one of yon come
with me, and I 'hall bring him into the kitchen.—
They returned, laying, that was impolffble ; and
than, perhap', be had been hinting tomething; but,
however, they did not believe it. " Betides." Paid
they, " if you are not true, it will be your misfor-
tune ; if you arc, you have only to come on Satur-
day to SUCH A IR, the poll maller,who knows you
he will give you a good reception, and will afford
you every thing you require. When we arrive there
we will give you the aoo louls, and we will fct of
together for France. If you do not do this on Satur-
day, you Mall not outlive Sunday. We pro sited
you aool,uis, but you ball have too more fur every
perfun that (ball die within the year."
Th:y then pointed out to him the {sth tree from
the barrier gate before arriving at we new village.
They buried ast the foot of this tree a handkerchief,
leaving one of the corners of it a little above the
pound. If Coo LON could not put the plot into ex-
ecution in the courfe of 'ln:fday, 24th. he was to
rake tip the handkerchief. It he bad lucceeded, he
was to leave it there.

Upon leaving him they gave him a frnall bottle,
and Gill to him, " yna must take two glAirel befi,re

Colston has declared that be was not in that

✓ecognized the tenet! f them, who was prefent
at
all the interviews, and that it was he who gave him
the parcel, and oho buried the handkerchief, &c.
The two men Mllowed him to the end of the road ;
'when they had quitted him. he fainted away, and
received aalttance from a ?Tama Officer, who was

evening, he-faid, that the Rico to which he was
condoned by the two firangers was Siegen-ftrect.—
He thinks that be went into a kind of court. fur-
sounded by hooks. As well as be could judge, he
came out by a different door from that by which he
entered, before which there were Come nd a
wooden pallifade. He was in a two windowed room,
on the fecund floori ' where there was • a wardrobe,
'painted of a pale mahogany colour, near one of the
windows.
In the morning of the aeth, Coozov carried the
parcel and bottle to M. de M 11.14111.1.5. who imme-
diately went to Lazicnki, and gave them to Count
d'A ; the latter, in eonfequence of the con-
verlation he had the evening before, with the Pre
fi-
dent de Hoyle, wrote to him to requeß an inter-
view. M. de HOY 14 came at ten • o'clock in the
morning to Count d'Avaaav, who communicated
to him the declaration of Cootoor, and !hewed him
the parcel and the bottle. Count d'A regatta.
ed the Prefident de Hoax to fign an attellation of
the communication that had been made to him.—
Count d'A -, who had put his feat on the par-
cels that had been given to him by M. de MILLI.
vILLZ, requeded M. de HOT., to add his teal. M.
de Horn, who had at firß acquiskid in the reafonr
Aiwa° him by M. d'Avaaav for eßablifhing the iden-
tity of the fufpated objects, until they &Quid have
bens fubjefted to a chemical amslyfis by proper per.
fans, at f retitled tri put his teal an them. He
would not even accompany N. d'Avaaav to the
Archbifhop of Rosins, who lived in the next houfe.
On leaving him, he renewed his proreffions of regime
and attachment for the King and his auguß family,
and it was agreed that Count d'Avaaarlbonld yaw
(mit to him foci; additional information as thoold ap-
• pear =Catty to enable Id. do Roam to taunter
there concert.. 4 in the'plot.
.The Marquis of Hussar, an Officer of the King's
body guards, honoured by his Majc*y's confidence,
and entrufted with his correrpoodence, was inttrueed
by M. d'A to treat-mit to U. de Horn the
information he required.
To make up, as far as potable, for the affixing of
M. de Hove's real. Count d'A went to the
Archbitisop of Rearms, who was already acquainted
with the affair, and retinae& him to put his real,
which he accordingly did.
The: King had determined to leave Warfaw on the
following day. Count d'Avaaav thought it was
time to-inform his Majeßy of the *fair, and not
do any thing ford= except by his orders. The
Xing cn this occafion gave roofs of the molt
anxious fulicitude for his family and his fervants,
and, as far as the dander was perfonal, the fame
conlnefs that he has eliplayed on fimilar occafions.
His Majefty wrote the following letter to M. de
Horst
. I have been informed, Sir, of a projeß formed
againft my life. If I alone was cow:med. if Reel
only were to be tired, accultomed, you well know,
to limilar advices, I fbould pay little attention to
• it ; but the poifon threatens likewile my wife. my
nephew, my niece, my faithful fervent% ; and I
ghoul,/ betray my molt (acted ftnties, if I defpifed
this danger. Perhaps I have to deal with mif-
ereants 1 Perhaps I have only to unnutOF a bale ca-
lumny? Ira either cafe I wills to have Come eonverfa-
tion tenh you. I beg you to come this very even-
ing, when I flail have the additional fatisfanion of
Outing you, Sir, &c. &c.
The Count d'Avaaav did not find M. de Hoax
at home, and could not put the King's letter into
his hands before nine at night. M. de Horn an-
fwered verbally, that he fhould have the honour to
return an anfwer to the Count de Line' and that
he would obey his call on the morrow. He added,
that every .thing was in the hands of the Police,
and would be followed up with activity. M. d'Avs-
SAY teltified his ftirprife that COULON was not yet
fecured. whole refiihnce was fufficiently known, and
who ought to be rigoroufly examined, whether his
declaration were true, or he were an impoflor.
The asth of July arrived, being the day fixed for
the King's departure. His Majcity not having re-
ceived any anis' er from M. de Horn, was obliged
to fulocrid hit j turney, and charged the Count d'Ava-
▪ air to convey the information to the Duke d'Aa-
c FMI, tequetting him to conceal it from Ma-
c.in C. The Count d'A gave a detailed ac.
count to she Doke d'Aticoota so, in the prefuice of

" a. To appoint immediately tome proreffinnal
men to co-operate with the Count de bugs My-
fician, in the anaiyfis of the (sibilance deemedfurped- •
al, which was deptifited by Cous.or.
" The Count de Lists hopes that the Prefident de
Horse will give him prompt ratisfadion on there
points.
" Whatever be the refult of there meafures, the
Count de LISIA depends with confidence upon the
Prelident de Horse's care for the fafety of the dear
and precious ohjetts whom he leaves under the (ale-
guard of his Pruflian Majeßy."
The Duke de Pile:it, charged by his Majelly to
carry th's note to M. de HorM, returned with en
anfwer : That the Police was apprifed of the whole
affair, and that it would do its duty." This might be
underilnod as concerning COULON, but did not in any
way fatisfy the requifition made of profeffinnal men
to analyfe the ft:balance in queßion. It was lii o'clock
in the evening, and the King's note had been fent at
two in the afternoon. Notwithftanding the danger
of a delay, which might alter the unknown fubilan-
. ces inclofed in the parcel, the King thought proper
to wait for the anfwer from the Governmeos till the

next day.
Dating this interval the Count d'Avaaav charged
M. le Farrar, the King's Phyfician, to recurs the
co-operation of two phyficians, and one apothecary,
for the analyfis of the objeas delivered by Coutow.
On the seith, at eight in the morning, the King
received M. de HOYMeII miaow, Rating, " tbat the
appointing of a Committee, for the required analyfis,
d:pended neither from him, nor the Polite ; that it
could only. be an ad fubfequent to the criminal pro-
ceedings already commenced ; that the perfon of
Coucom could not be fecured, becaufe the laws of
the Monarchy did not permit it, fo• long as he was
not convieed of any crime.
Without luting a moment, Couns d'A . ac-
companied by the Duke de Pilaus, and the King's
Pbyfician, went to Dr. CaCiATICITIVICZ, one of the
moll renowned phyficians at Wariest, both for his
learning and for his moral charaaer. There in the
pretence of Dr. &Rota toss, and of Mr. !'here.
apothecary, Count d'A broke the feals, which
he and the Archbifhup of Rheims had put upon the
parcel. took out of it one of the three carrots, and
handed it to the profeffional men. The opening made
at one of the extremities was glued over with a kind
of paae, of a colour nearly refemblingthat of the ve-
getable. M. Gvnitr opened it. When the
ehymi-
cal operations were finithed, they drew up a traces
verbal, and gave provifionally the following attella-
don to M. d'Avaaav
WARSAW, JULY x6.—'' From &Viral chemical pro-
ceffes made upon the mars, which we found in the
infide of the carrot. handed to us, it appears un-
doubtedly. that this mars is a Fallon. compelled of a
mixture of three arfenics, to wit, of white. of yellow,
and of red. as will be detailed in writing more at
length. (Signed) "V Is GaGATILIBW(CZ,
Doaor of Phyfic.
" GUDZIT. Apothecary."
Doaor Breotszoar being obliged to repair to a I
prelEug fummont, has only figned the paces verbal. i
The bottle, given to Coo cow, by the two unknown
men, contained only a fpirituous liquor.
The carrot, which had ferved for the experiment,
was put up again, and fealed with the teals of the
Duke de PIINNt, of Count d'Avaaav, and with
thole of the profeffional men. The fame precaution
was ulect with the other two carrots, which remained
untouched, and with the bottle of liquor.
Provided with the certificate from the profelSonal
men, about the exigence and nature of the poifon,
the King addreffed the following Note to the Prefi-
dent de Tit.sv, Chief of the special Police of the
City, to whom M. de Horst, alledging his incompe-
tency, had referred the Wind's.
's The Count de Laic!, agreeable to the formali-
ties which were indicated to him, and which he has
hitherto always obfetved, fhould have addletred the
Prefident de 1-loy•i, in his quality as Chief of the
Province, tor the profecution of the attempt de-
nounced by COULOY. But the Prefident de Horst,
having, by his letter dated the 25th, and received
this morning, owned himfelf incompetent to this bu-
finds ; and having declared that it belonged to the
particular Police of the City, the Count de' Lux,
addreffes, with the fame confidence, the Prefident de
TtiLY. He eonfequently charges Count d'Avaaay
to depotit into his hands, * parcel containing the fobs
fiances hitherto deemed full:died ; but which the re-
port. made and figned this day by profelfional men,
(which Count d'A is ordered to deliver unto
him) proves to be in reality infeaed with poitos.-=
Furthermore CoULOw, fiom the menaces which he
fays had been offered to him, thought his life coati-
nually in danger. M. the Count de Line, there-
fore, without giving any orisiion refpeaing the fitl, -
lity of this matt, thinks it proper to place him Ducks-
the general proteftinn and faleguard of the police
and the law. The Cunt de Lt.o has always had
too much rzafon to be fatisfied with the conduit of
the Piefistent de TILLY, to doubt of his aaivity in
taking every necelfary means to difcnver the crimi-
nals, fie takes this opportunity to afftve the hell-
dent de Titur of the testaments he entertains for
him."

As M. de To.t.v could not be met with in the
courfe of the astb, the King's note. therefore, and
the packet containing the paces verbal of the pule.
fional people, and the criminal court. were not deli-
vered oil the morning of the a6th.
In the evening. M. de MLA, retnrned an anfwer
to the 'Coin's Nate, and M. d'A 'a Letter.
" That as Chief of the Police, he tcnk into his own
keeping the packet which had been delivered into his
hands, in order to tranfmit it where it mud be finally
eonficlered; but that lie could not *nuttily engage in
a proccfs again* Mac criminals, bccaufe it belongs
to the depar...itot of criminal jullice, who would
hereafter undertake the examination of ii."
Hitherto the Court d'Avaaar had avoided all
dire& communication with Coulon, that he might
not Interfere ith the T.:lv:Ares employed by the
Police refpelling him. The Magittrate being in-
formed of the wh.-.le affair, and Cou eon being at li-
testy in Warfaw.M. d'A aaav then thought that it
ens his duty to e;...oinine him himfelf. He accord.
singly adored hits to come oa the /7th of July tp

the refidence of M. de MIS-Lim:J, and in the pre-
face of him and the Duke de Passe, Cou tor
gave a narrative of every, thing that had happened
to him. The Count d'Avaaar pot feveral itifidions
quaint:LW him, and hinted at many important cir--
cuaiasees, of which he (the Count d'A va ay ) was
informed, and which Courtin had not revealed.
•He, however, never varied. in his declaration's
was firm in all his affersions, and immoveable re.
fpedl mg certain matters, which, at firil, had a very
dabious appearance. Count d'Avasav encouraged
Couto* not to give way to his fears, and to re.
main in the city, affuring him, at the fame time,
that the Irmo had placed him under the fafegnard
of the Police, and the law. The following day, Con-I
toe underwent another examination, and his anfwers
were fuch, that the perfons who were prefent, being
convinced of their truth, have added their fignatures

The diabolical attempt, though not mentioned in

details of that infamous tranfdaion. The following
letter is from

WARSAW, JULY :o.—The Count de Lissa, who
was to quit this city on the s6th mount, has only left
it this day, for Grodno. An event which would have
put all Warfaw into confternation, if unfortunately
it had taken effect, retarded the departure of this
Prince. He has got complete evidence, that tome
individuals, now reeding in this city, have meditated
an attempt not only upon his life, but againa thofc
of his family and faithful fervent'. The plot was
nothing lets than to poifon them all with 'freak.—
The Count de Lissa has colleeed all the proofs of
this attempt, and drawn up a troth wri d thereof.—
