Conspiracy to Assassin ate
Louis Napoloon.

The Paris correspondent Of the New
York Commercial ADVERTISER has the fol.
lowing piece Of news and specula,ions !:
Day before yesterday. a conspiracy to
assassiaa,e the Empero, Of France was
discovered At the critical moment, aud
the parties are now in the state prison ol
Mazas. The Emperor was TO review 4
portion Of the Imperial Guard. which Is
about to start lor the Crilnea, IN the court
Of the Tuileries. During the review he
was to have been assassina,ed, buf by
what means has not become public. All
that the public know, is tha, Arrests were
made at the moment winch the review
was about 10 commence that the per-
sons arrested were taken to Maza, placed
separate cells, and interrogated.
Some Of the highest families in Paris,
among the legitimists, are said to be i'm +.
phcated in the conspiracy. The a,.emp,
IS attributed to the feeling which is grow.
ing up in the country agains, tho abso-
lutte power which 10 exercised by the
Emperor, who does no. consult the in.
sercsss, much less the opinions OF any
class u his people, and whose conduct Of
the war 10 no considered entirely rutis-
factory. That class Of people who have
serious interests at ssske, to whom the
honor and the prosperity Of their native
country is 4 paramount object, and who
have heretofore had some sort Of voice
in the administration Of public affairs,
now And that these precious interests are
placed in the hands Of man who conducts
the affairs Of state with an absolute Sc.
crecy. and An Indifference to the opinion
If others, a. if he was the only party ID
