against Austria, that anything like cooper
alton Of Prussia in the same cause with her
southern neighbor is out of the question. The
policy of Prussia has become. since the death
of the late Emperor Nicholas, more doggedly
neutral, and the feeling of the Court more
Russian than ever. The warm reception
given to the Emperor Napoleon in England
has cut off the Prussians last hope that Eng
land would desire 10 withdraw somewhat
from the too intimate French alliance, and
be glad to recur to Prussia as a sort of make
weight on the continent
LOUIS NAPoLEAN's VISIT TO THE CRnGEA
ABANDoNED-lt is now positively stated that
the contemplated journey of the Emperor
Napoleon TO Constantinople and the Cnmes
has been indefinitely suspended, If not aban-
doned; and, as all the Paris correspondents
of the morning journals concur in the state
ment, it seems entitled TO credit. A corrobo-
rative fact is found in the Monitelr, which
publishes an Imperial decree postponing the
opening of the Universal Exhibition from the
LIST n the 18th of May. As the time fixed
for the departure Of the Emperor approach
ed, the difficulties and obstacles seemed so 20
increase as at last 10 convince his Majesty Of
the imprudence Of the projected visit

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION or NAPOLEON.
After the first shot was fired the Emyeror
bent his head a little, either by an involun-
7 LaEsl- Increment to avoid the bullet or owing
10 the horse shyiig. When he saw tho
assassin in the hanls of the people, and bis
clothes torn. be called out to spare him, and.
| am assured, his words were, "Epargnez L.
ne t tiIsz pas le miserable" The Emperor
did not lose his presence of mind for an in
slant He gratefully and gracefully replied
/ by frequently taking of bis hat and bowling
to the thousand acclsmations with which he
was at once saluted, as he still slowly sd-
vanced toward the Triumphal Arch. A
messenger had been sent on, at gallop, to
inform the Empress, who was at the Porte
Dauphine, (Bois de Boulogne,) Of what had

Of her husband. In less than half an hour
the Empress returned from her drive in an
oPes carriage, with the Emperor, riding close
by. The sight was touching in the extreme;
Her Majesty was deeply affected; her tears
flowed in spite of her; she in vain essayed to
dry them, and she sobbed convulsively amid
her efforts to smile with ioy at her husbands
escape from the murderer. Evidently she
could not subdue her emotion; she leaned
back in her carriage, and relieved her heart
in an uncontrolled burst of tears. Then, in
deed, it was that the people who thronged
the way gave full vent TO the more generous
feelings of our nature The sight of the
young and lovely woman unable to restrain
the agony of her feelings produced an instan-
taneous effect; the shouts at once rose from
the thousands who beheld her, and hundreds
of workmen who were employed on a row OF
houses constructing near the spot from which
the assassin fired lined the half finished walls
the window-sills. or chung to the polls Of the
scatfolding. and rent the air with their sccla
