Attempt. .tOSGssGssinGte Louis Philippe
An attempt was made on the 18th ult. to
assassinate Louis PHILIPPE. The follow
ing details of which appear in the Jour-
nal des Debats.
The London Times of the 10Th says :
The funds fell of course at Torton's in
consequence ofthis attack, but, as no fur
ther consequences were apprehended
from il, they rallied. At the last advices
the three per cents. were at 70f 75c.,
with, however, but little doing"
The most important item of news is
that of another attempt upon the life of
Louis PHILIPPE, full particulars of which
we give.
A large fire broke out in Manchester
on the evening of the 18th, which de-
stroyed warehouses and property to the
amount Of thirty or forty thousand pounds.
Affairs look more peaceable in Europe
than at last advces.
The corn market continues to look
down, and fall in wheat of four shillngs
per quarter may be noted during the last
fortnight. The duty is now 2ls Sd or
lbs per barrel of -four. Good brands are
now selling of this last in Liverpool at
34s per barrel.
''Last evening" continued the Debats,
" at 80 minutes past o'clock, when the
King was returning to St. Cloud, accom-
panied by the Queen and Madame Ade-
laide, and was passing along the quay of
the Tuilleries, near the Pont de Ia Con-
corde, opposite to the guardhouse du Lii
on, an individual fred carbiRe in the d.
rection of the carriage. Their Majestes,
who fortunately we're not injured, contin.
ned their journey. The assassin had evil
dently chosen this position with the in
tention of taking advantage (like Ali
baud} of the instant that the King would
salute the troops under arms. The King,
in fact always salutes the guard, whether
troops of the line or National Guard, and
an SO doing lets down the glass of the car
riage and advances forward. One of the
Grenadiers Immediately seized the assas-
sin, who said, " / am not going away"-
He was then taken to the guard house.
The Prefect of Police arrived in few
minutes, and interrogated him. He con-
fessed his crime, and declared that his
name was Marius Darmes. He said that
he was a native of Marseiles, and had
been for long time in Paris, and was
employed as trOtter, Tin polishing the
floors Of apartments) He was clad in
long frock coat, under which he conceal
ed his carbine, the stock of which was ex-
pensively carved. He is 43 years of age.
He was searched, and on his person
were found two loaded pistols and poin-
ard. The Carbine, which had been cut
short and loaded to the muzzle, had burst.
The charge did not scatter, and the car
rage was but slightly struck. The as
sassin, however, was severely wounded
in the left hand. His carbine was loaded
with several balls and slugs. The explo-
sion was extremely loud. One of the Ma
tional Guard, Of the escort, was slightly
wonnd ed in the hand by slug. One of
the foOtmen, who was standing behind the
carriage, was wounded in the leg. The
wound is not dangerous, but the ball has
not been yet extracted
Darmes, when arrested, burst into Vi
oleht passion, and exclaimed" Cursed
carbine! had taken a good aim, but
overloaded it,"
To the first question which was ad-
dressed to him, he at first replied, Con.
spirator."
