The alarm in the public is such, that
a great number of foreigners quit Paris
with precipitation, being fearful that a
revolution is about to take place. Yes
terday, and to-day, it was almost impos-
sible to obtain post horses. No doubt
the assassination of the Duke of Berri is
the first cause of this alarm but is it
not probable that it has been increased
by the imprudent remarks of the news
papers, and by the measures proposed
by the government to the Chambers.
PARIS, FEB IL.
When Louvel, the assassin, was in
terrogated by the Minister of the Interi-
or, the following question was put to
him:
'As you have said you do not fear
death, why did you fly when you assas-
sinated the prince HE replied, coolly,
to assassinate another
When his food was brought to him,
he refused to receive it, because it was
lean, and said that it would not give him
strength enough to sustain thenumerous
questions that were put to him. boA
These answers of Louvel are astonish--
ing, but the following is still more hor-
rible. Wretch,i said magistrate to
him, do you know that the prince has
been SO kind as to ask the kings pardon
for his murderer ?9I do not, answered
Louvel, shedding tears.
You are moved, continued the magis-
trate, with SO generous and noble an act.
If this excellent prince could revive,
you would not commit again SO great
crime? Yes, would, answered Louvel.
1t is said that M. de CAFES has dared
to present himself at St. Cloud, the resi-
dence of the Duchess de Berri. He was
not introduced, andnit is added, that, as
soon as she heard his name pronounced,
the princess eagerly caught her infant in
her arms and fed to her apartment.

LONDON, FED. lS.
We have received this morning the
Paris papers of Tuesday. They are, Of
course, painfully interesting, for they
communicate a variety of facts connect
ed with the assassination of his royal
highness the Duke de Berri. Among
the most important of these is the un-
deniable one, that the atrocious crime
was committed from political motives.
This alarming truth was distinctly adj
mitted, not only by the members of the
two Chambers, who met to address his
Majesty, upon the mournful occasion,
but it is recognized by the King himself,
in the concluding sentence of his answer
to the address of the, Deputies. "The
Chamber cannot doubt" said his Maies-
ty, that, feeling as man, and acting
as King, l shall adopt every necessa-
ry measure to preserve the State from
dangers Of which I am but zoo .forci6lle
Jorevarned by the crime efthis day..
