political horizon of this country. Com.
mercial affairs are still in the SANS state
of stsgnation as heretofore; however a

We have been favored by friend " ith
French newspaper called "Journai des
de bats" of the 9TH Of April, in which it
will be seen, as the following translation
will shew, that the city Of Paris has mar.
rowly escaped utter destruction.
Translated for the W ?. Euening Peat.
Paris, April 7.
All Paris has been struck with horror
by reading in the Journals that Bona.
parte had given orders on the so,h of
March to explode the powder magazine
OF Grenelle; this magazine contained
100000 pounds Of powder, $4,000 infsn.
try cartridges, e5 900 cannon cartridges,
with 5000 bill shells loaded, and rreat
quantity Of rockets. Those who re.
member what happened in 1894, the ex.
plosien OF the magazine in the plain of
Grenelle, when there was only $4,000
lbs. of powder, can easily recall to their
minds the frightful disaster which would
have resulted from the explosion of ma
gazine OF one hundred times the ousn.
tity. The greatest part Of tho capital
would have beer entirely ruined, and it
was without doubt this last shock, which
they menaced Us with some time since,
and which would have been fell. BY pre-
sent and future generations. This plot
was 30 atrocious and contrary to huma.
nifty, that many persons could not ere.
dit il.
Not ts'leave any doubt on the subject,
however, we shall transcribe a letter
which has been addressed to US by the
officer who bad the charge Of the maya.
zine itself His majesty the Emperor
Alexander, has been so much pleased
with the noble conduct Of this brave off
Ger, that he has expressed q wish to
make him his Acknowledgements in per.
sen, and to recompenss him for his in.
