ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO assassin
ATE THE KING OF THE FRENCH.
Paris, Thursday evening, Nine o'clock.
Another attempt has been made to assassin
ate the King of the French. AT six O. clock
this evening, as the royal carriage was leaving
the Tuileries, returning TO Saint Cloud he was
fired at, but neither he nor any person ofhis
suit was wounded. The assassin was instant
ly seized, and the King, who displayed his
accustomed GOODNESS and courage, ordered the
Positions not to stop, and continued his route
to st Cloud.
The assassin is a young man, a native of
Marseilles, who aYoWs his criminal Intention
and maniiests much regret at having failed
| He declares that he has no accomplices, and
that he is not connected with any secret socie-
| ty. When examined as to his motives, he says
he wished to lid his country of tYrant, and
that he had no other object than his country's
good.
The funds were slightly affected at Tortoni's,
and the three per cent. fell to 70f. Coo. from
72f
OTHER ACCOUNTS.
The MoniteW Psrisien and the Messenger
contain the following bulletin
''Paris, Oct ia musket shot was fired
at the King at 6 O. clock this evening, at the
moment when his Majesty was passing along
the quay of the Tuileries, on his return to st
Cloud.
''Neiiher the King nor any of the persons by
whom he was accompanied were hurt.
"The assassin was arrested. He avowed his
crime"
Private letters state that the name of the as
sassin is Darbes. He is from the south of
France, Che said Marseilles, but there was
some doubt on that point.) 1t would appear
that his musket had been overloaded; for it
burst, and wounded him in the shoulder.
1t was rulnored that the assassin was one of
the advocates for war, who are at present so
much eraltes, and that by numbering the King,
he calculated on removing the only bar to the
arrival of that calamity.
EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER.
The following is the substance of the piinci-
pal questions put to Darmes on his first interro-
cation, and his replies, with some other details,
which are given by the ministerial evening pa
pers:-
BARNES. Ut appears, however, from the papers
which were seized at his residence, that his nane
is Marius Ennemond Darmes)
Where were you born?-At Marseilles.
What is your age?-Forty-th
Where do you live?-To this question, al.
though repeated several times, he refused to re-
ply:
| What is your profession?-C onspirator.
That Is not PROFESSIONALISM then, write
down that live by my labor
Who urged you to the commission of SO odious
| crime' Have you any accomplices?-I am the
only accomplish l wanted to kill the greatest
| tyrant OF ancient modern times.
DO you not now repent of having conceived
and executed so abominable an attcmpt?- re-
pent only of not having succeeded.
Had you long entertained the project of assas-
| sinating the Kng?-I conceived the project only
an hour before putting it into execution.
| After this first interrogation, the Project of
i Police, in presence ofthe Minister of the Interior
| heard the dispositions of the non-commissioned
officers, adJutants, sergens-de-ville and soldiers
| who had witnessed the crime, and aided In the
] apprehension of DarmeS. Immediately after his
| arrest, Doctors Blandon and Aurity were called
/ in, in consequence of the wound in his hand, and
| iAterogated as to whether immediate amputa-
| ton was necessary. They declared that it would
| be better to wait, and ordered that the wound
should be Immediately dressed. Yesterday morn
ing, the Procureur-General, and the Precureur
/
this time consented TO reply to all the questions
He declared that he was frotteur, and lodged
| at No. Al, in the Rue de Paradis Faubourg Poi
sonniere. He said that the carbine with which
he fired at his Majesty, was loaded with FIVE
bullets and eight buckshots. This fully accounts
fer the bursting of the barrel, and the circular
direction taken by the charge, to which, in all
probability, the preservation of the lives of the
King, queen, and Madame Adelaide, was owing
In TACT, the barrel burst with such violence, that
it produced nearly the effect as the explo-
| sion OF a shell. One of the footmen, named
| Grus, was struck on the right leg. The wound
| is not serious, and it has not been ascertaiaed
| whether it arose from one of the proiectiles, or
a fragment of the barrel 1t also confirms the
| account of the wound in the hand of the Nation
| al Horse Guard, M. Bertolacci. The middle of
the right side of the Kings carriage, the rail,
and one OF the springs, were struck.
| The Carriage was brought from st. Cloud yes
| terday morning for examination by the magis-
trates. The surgeons who were appointed to
| dress the wounded hand ofDarmes on Thursday
evening inspected it again yesterday, and ampu-
tated three OF his fingers. They thought it like
| ly that further operation would be necessary.
The following are the particulars as to the per-
son, habits, and life of the assassin: BARNES is
little man, of forbidding coHntenance, and
somewhat deferned His forehead is low, and
gives to his countcnance vulgar ASPECT. He
wears his beard cut to point, and his musta-
chios are Of very Light yellow tint, and very
thin: On being asked what he intended to
make OF the pistols and poignard found upon
him, ne replied that he carried them for the pur
pose of defending himself. Fortunately he was
SO stunned and confused by the explosion of the
carbine and his wound, and surprised by the
promptitude with which he was seized, that he
had neither time nor selfpossession to make use
