fortified places in the Crmea including Odessa, and

France-Attempt to Assinate the Emperor.
Correspondence Of the London Times.
PARIS, Sunday, Sept. 9.-6 P.
About half past last night, the carriage of one.
of the Chamberlains of the Palace, Court Baccio-
Chi, drove up to the door of the italian opera. =
The approach of the carriage with the Inn
perial live cry caused little movement among the
persons in the street; but, seeing it was brough-
am, with only one horse, no cry was heard, and
nothing occurred.
At quarter to 9, one of the Imperial CARRIAGES,
drawn by four horses with Positions also drove up,
and was evidently taken by the crowd for the Empe
ror carraiage. 1t drew up at the private entrance
used by the Emperor which is close to the Rue
Marsoier. Before the servant had time to open
the door, person who had been observed for some
time standing at the same spot advanced, and pre-
sented two small pistols, one in each hand; but
before he had time to discharge them into the
carriage the police agents struck down his arms
and the depression of the weapons caused the bull
lets to pass under the vehicle. He was at once
arrested.
1t was believe, by accident that the carriage in
question, which contained only the Ladies of Honor,
preceded the Emperor's, which arrived about 10
minutes after. 1t was at first supposed, from the
fact of the ladies of the Court attending the theatre
that the Empress also present. Such fortunately
was not the fact. Her Majesty has been confined
to her apartment for the last three days, owing to
indispostion. Had she been present the shock
might have had the the most serious effect on her
In her present coalition.
The assassin was taken TO the Prefecture OF
Police and examined by the Project. The result
of the examination as well as his previous history
prove beyond doubt that he is maniac. His
name is Bellemarre (Edouard Camille Dieudonnc,)
his age is %. He is native Of Rouen.
