Extract Of q letter from Paris, Feb l6.
&" The French papers have given a
pretty correct account of the late attempt
made on the Duke of WelIiug,on's life
As to the discovery Of its author, that

lice. 1t appea's, however, that his grace
has been able to furnish some clue for
their researches, which is sill acting
upon, and which, for want of sufficient
time, has not yet led to Any result. The
duke is said to have distinctly seen the
individual who fired upon him, and Il
have observed that he were mustachoes
