PARIS, April All Paris has been struck
with horror by reading in the journals that
Bonaparte had given orders on the 3Oth of
iMarch TO explode the magazine Of Grenelle :;
this magazine contained 100000 pounds of
powder, $4,000 infantry CARTRIDGES. q. COO can
non cartridges, with 5000 ball shells loaded. &
great Quantity of rockets. Those who re-
membc what happened in 1884. tine explosion
OF the magazine in the plain of Cirenellc, where
there was only $4,000 lbs ofpowder, can east
~ REGAL to their minds the frightful disaster
Whlch would have resulted from the explosion
OF magazine OF one hundred times the guam
slty. Inc greatest part Of the Capital would
nave been entirely ruined. and Il was without
doubt this last shock, which they t1,craced re
with some time since, and which would have
oeen felt by present aud future generations.-
ms plot was 50 atrccious and contrary to hui
manly, that many persons could not credit il.
NOT to leave any doubt on the subject, how
ever, we shall transcribe letter which has
Dccn addressed to us bv the officer who had
the charge OF the magazine itself His Maics-
~ thc emperor Alexander. has been so much
Pleased with the noble conduct Of this brave
officer, that he has expressed . wish TO MAKE
