This forenoon we received Frankfort, Nuremberg,
and Augsburg Pipers, to the 10th inst. It will be seen,
by an a-ticle from Smyrna, that the Frenchman who
meditated the assassination of Sir HUDSON Lows has
been arrested. It is now said he was a clerk to the
Reach legation, and that be was instigated by some of
his countrymen. The following are eauacts :

FRANKFORT, MAY 9.

A private letter from Smyrna, of April 3, gives the following as.
coots of the intended attack on Sir Hudson Lowe
Sir Hudson Lowe has been here for some days. The evening
before yesterday be ran the risk of being assassinated, or, at least,
very IU treated, In his lodgings. A Clerk in the office of the French
{ligation had determined to revenge his former Emperor, and with
tbis view forcibly entered the home ; but Sir Hudson Lowe was at
that •tinie on board the Cambrian frigate. This affair, biwever,
has pitied a great sensation ; the Clerk has been arrested, and Sir
hushosi Lowe has taken some soldiers from the frigate to protect
hies.--Cept. Hamilton ab 4 the English Consul have complained to
tise Coiasul of France. The Clerk, it seems, excused himself by
saying that he was Intanticated, but it appears that be had been in.
ipted by Merril other Frenchmen.
NURIZUSURG, MAT S.
The faUure of the Mese of Fries, at Vienna, bane of the greatest
naisfortnnes of the hind that has occurred for a long time at Vienna,
and the ruin is said to be so complete:Au, according to the latest

sensate from the Imperial capital, the effects do not promise the
creditors above 5 per cent. One great house is reported to lose
above intillion of Aeries by this failure, which does not seem im-
ipiohable, when we conilder that the late chief partner of the house
of Fries is the same Mr. David Parish who has appeared as one of
Fheptincipai Contractors in most of the great Loans that have been
negociated for some years past.
