Of q difference of opinion between the
King and NJ. Theirs, at a Cabinet
Council, held on Thursday morning at
Neuilly, on the all absorbing Subject of
French Intervention in Spain. The
President Of the Council, unmoyed by
the late occurrence at Madrid, per-
sisted in urging the necessity of send
ing a French force into the Peninsula,
o~stensibly to oppose the CarIsts, but
in reality to enable the Queer u cast
off what he regards as the Constitution
al yoke.
The King, more prudent than his
Minister, contended that the proclama-
ton Of the Constitution Of Cadiz in the
Capital, had entirely changed the as
pect Of affairs in the Peninsula /; that
to put down the constitution by force
would be tantamount TO dethroning the
Queen, that such a step would not be
sanctioned by England (; and, finally,
thathaving declined to interfere against
the Carllsts, any demonstration of
force against the Constituencies,
would not fail to endanger the internal
tranquility Of France.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF THE
FRENCH KING.
From the New York Express.
About sunrise this morning, our news
boat, the N. York Express" board
the packet ship Sully. Captain c. A..
Forbes, from Havre, off Sandy Hook
light. The Sully left Havre on the
Sd inst, having been detained two days
beyond her regular time Of sailing, by
contrary winds. The news by the Sui
ly is altogether Of the most unexpected
and important character. We make
the following extracts, having neither
time nor space for comment:
From the Journal dcs Debats-July 90.
Paris is the theatre of the most afro
cious homicide that disgraces the an
ais ofhlstory. This morning as his Ma
jesty was passing from the Palais tothe
Tuilleries for the purpose Of review
ing the troops, he q sflred at and o
tally wounded, when opposite the Hotel
Dien, by some person in the crowd, ap.
%parcntly with a pistol, as NJ trace ofthe
weapon has been discovered. The
ball, which has been %extraced, and
weighs t~hree-lourths of an ounce, pas
sed entirely through the upper part Of
his Majeaty's right arm, and entered
the body between the fourth and fifth
ribs; and, it is supposed, intersected
the pulmonary vein.
On receiving the wound, his Majes-
ty instantly turned towards the spot
whence the attack proceeded, and his
horse starting at the moment, threw
him backwards; and while in the act
offallng he was caught in the arms of
his attendants, snd borne to the house
of NJ. Arnaut. Medical attendance
was instantly summoned; NJ. La Vigny
the household surgeon Of his Majesty,
being but a few PAGES behind him at
the time Of the assault, was the first
who examined the wound, on doing
which, he instantly declared that his
Majesty could survive but q few hours,
Thus has the anniversary of the glo-
rious revolution of 1880, been render
ed a day of disgrace, humiliation and
mourning to the entire French nation.
This single deed, by its atrocity, may
well cause the citizens of France,
throughout the world, to blush for very
shame. The greatest king of the great
est ration in the world, in time of car
nival, surrounded by his family and
friends, at mid day, in the open air,
by the hand of a political enemy has
been assassinated. Oh, France! where
is thy honor now!
