PARIS, June &c.
Ineed not remind you that stated, yesterday,
that guard of dragons was round, before and
behind the Kings carriage-that two sentinels
were under the ga Chef, or gate way-that the
Guard of Honor (horse and foot) within the gate
in the court yard, was under arms and that the
guard oftroops of the line; without the gate on
the quay, were similarly drawn out and that
above all, a cloud of police agents, in colored
clothes, were on the spot--Q know now that nj.
Gisq1et, Project Of Police, was himself presently
and yet, in the face of all these precautions, and
safeguards an assassin was able to rest a firearm
Qor It was not IN air gun, but new species of
fire lock, made to resemble a walking sticky on
the window ofthe Kings carriage, take aim, and
fire upon him.
These facts prove, among other things, that
cutting off heads is not preservation against
crime, as had been fondly hoped when Fieschi,
Morey, and Pepin were put to death. That to
gag the press is not security against the spread
of disaffection and that, in short, there is in
France (Which never doubted) desperate men,
fanatics in politics. as there were formerly in re-
ligion, against whom bolts, bars, spies, guards,
scaffolds. and gullotines are no protection.
This leads to another observation. AIibeau
(the prisoner) is a native of Lyons. need hard.
ly remind you that several Lyonese are at this
moment suffering Imprisonment for the affair of
April, 1854. run little risk, therefore in pre-
dieting that it will turn out, that Alibeau was
connected with the instruction of 1894, in his
native city, or with some or other victim of it.
The Cont of Peers will be reconstructed to.
morrow. An inquiry will of course. be imme.
diately commenced, and that done report will
be made to the Court, and the trial of Alibeau
will come on. Think not however, that this will
be an Immediate result. All the connections
and acquaintances of the prisoner will be sought
for, and many of them thanks to the absence of
the habeas corpus in France,) be arrested and
imprisoned. Every movement of this will be
traced. He will himself and his friends be ex-
amned and re-examined, and then, and not till
then, will he be put upon his trial, that it will
be yet some months ere this apparently simple af-
fair will be wound up.
1t is superhuous to add that the intended visit
of the King and Royal Family to Fontainebleau,
is definitely postponed.
From the Courier Francois of Sunday.
Last evening, about six o'clock, new at
tempt was made upon the Kings life, which for
tunately proved unsuccessful as the former
Just as his Majesty had entered his carriage, to
return to Neuilly, and was passing under the
gateway loading to the quay, young man who
had placed himself on the side opposite to that of
the post of the National Guard, lifted up cane
in which pistol barrel had been fixed, placed it
on the carriage door, and fred it at the King.
Louis Philippe was at that moment bowling to
the National Guards through the other window.
Whether the assassin felt agitated or it is sta
tod, was pushed while engaged in taking aim,
the ball did not touch the King, who Immediately
after the explosion, made sign that no was not
wounded, and ordered the coach to be driven on
to Neuilly. The King was with the Queen, and
his sister Madame Adelaide, and detachment Of
Dragons escorted the carriage.

same instant by the National Guards, who wers
under arms with their colors in compliment To
the King, the assassin was dragged into the
guard house, and with difficulty saved from being
