lE5 From The Courier Frdncais Of Sunday.
"Last evening, about six O'Clock, q new at
tempt was made upon the Kings life, which
fortunately proveda as unsuccessful as the for
nler. Just as his Majesty had entered his
carriage, to return to Neuilly, and was pas
sing under the gateway leading to the quay,
a young man who had placed himself on the
side opposite to that of the post ofthe Nation
al Guard, lifted up cane in which pistol
barrel had been fixed, placed it on the car
riage door, and fired it at the King.
louis Phillip was at that moment bowling
to the National Guards through the other
window. Whether the assassin felt agitated,
or, as it is stated, was pushed while engaged
in taking aim, the ball did not touch the
King, who Immediately. after the explosion
made sign that he 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 dfa-
goons escorted the carriage. s "a y ga.

weapon in his hand. He was at first ill-treat-
ed, but the officers interfered, and having
represented the importance of his being put
into the hands Of justice, the prisoner was
brought to room above the ground floor,
where he was stretched on bed, and search
ed, in order to ascertain if he had no arms
concealed. A poinard was found in his side
pocket. M. Gisquet, who was then in the
Tuileries, with several other public function
aries, Immediately, repaired to the guard
house, and proceeded to- xamine the indi-
and when recognized by several persons,
who knew him and said that he was COM
mercial traveller, and that his name was ALI
beau, he pretended that Alibeau was an as
sumed name, and refused to give his real one
from regard to his family. He was then ask
ed if he had been agitated while aiming at
the King and if it was not his agitation that
had deranged the direction of his arm! He
replied, with much composure. that he had
felt no emotion !; and that if he had missed
his aim, it was owing to his having experien-
ced shock or push, for which he could not
account. He was finally asked, he repent
ed his crime he answered in the negative
and added, that if it was to be done over a.
gain, he should not hesitate to do it that he
had no further explanation to give, because
in this age Of egotism, in which any thing like
conviction or devotion was no longer to be
found, no one could appreciate or understand
his motives! fasa sfHp5sts 81 # 4ut9i@tAt
During his examination active inquiries
were made, and it was discovered that this
young man had entered the Place du Carous-
sci, about four o'clock, by the gate Of the
Triumphal Arch; that he had conversed
some time with National Guard on differ
ent matters, and left him when he saw the
Kings carriages proceeding from the stables
to the Palace, saying, J" think the person
am waiting for win not come and went off
in the direction of the Court. He repaired
from thence to the gate of the Palace next to
the quay, and there remained in group Of
people who were waiting for the Kings de-
parture. His appearance it seems, did not
awaken suspicion, and no one observed the
cane he carried in his hand, and which con-
tanned the deadly weapon. This instrument
led to the. discovery of Alibeau. BY an ex-
traordinary chance the gun-maker, who man
ufactured it "a sergeant in the National Guard)
happened to be on duty at the Tuilleries and
felt it incumbent on him to give the Magis-
trates every information in his power. He
stated that the weapon seized on the assassin
had been made in his establishment, with
many others of the same kind that he was
aware of its being a violation OF the laws to
have made and sold such a weapon but that
as the affair was of so serious nature he did
not hesitate to confess it. The lodging of the
individual arrested was then discovered, and
the owner OF the house having been sent for,
recognised the prisoner to be Alibeau. He
said he had lodged in bis house, hut that he
had gone off without paying him, leaving in
pledge his passport, which had been delivered
him in Lyons. and mentioned his having been
born in that city. On being confronted with
the sentinel Of the National Guard, he had
