The Late Attempted Assassination.


The Paris correspondent Of the New York
Tribune after referring to the question oftsn
asked, why the great number-if, in fact, not
all-eRgaged in the conspiracy against the life
Of Louis Napoleon are Italians" explains the
matter as fellows:
Pianori, the Italian whe was executed some
years age for attempting to assassiRate the
Emperor, was offered free pardon If he would
make fall confession and divulgs his accom-
plices, but he bravely refused; and new every
inducement 10 held out to the present prisoners
to reveal the details Of the plot for particpat-
ing in which they will undoubtedly ferfeit their
lives. And though the rumcr that Badio has
confessed, and will appear as witness against
his fellow conspirators is industrieusly circulat-
ed, II is not at all believed.
The reasons have hitherto seen assigned for
the fact that the numerous attempts upon the
Emperor's life have been almost invariably
made by Italians de not explain the matter
correctly. II 10 kaown that Louis Napoleon s
coup detat Of the I'd December, was received
with acclamstion by the liberal party in Tus-
cany; and eveA in Rome, though by his troops
he kept the Pontif on his threne, the news was
not received with ill.favor. On the contrary
the constitutional liberals, who wish for national
liberty, but who are opposed to the red repub-
licsns even to this day regard him with favor,
knowing that he has pressed upon the Pope
many measures Of referm, in opposition to the
suggestions Of Austria. The Italians. as ma
tion, are friendly to the empire. The memory
Of the Napoleon is still revered by them. But
there has existed among them for many years
body Of admirable organization and great
power. allude to the dreaded Carbonari.
Immediately after the French revolution Of
1880. there were series of outbreaks through
the Roman territory. extending through the
Duchics of Parma and Medena. They were the
work of the CarbOnari, and were soon put down
in the most sanguinary manner by the troops
Of the late Pope Gregory. In the Roman Le-
cations the present Emperor and his brother,
who died during the insurrection, we're actively
engaged. They were both sworn members of
the Carbonari. 1t is generally understood that
1t was Pietri, the present Corsican Prefect Of
Police, who niated the present Emperor into
Carbonari. Of which MezZni, the present Pope,
and the late King Charles Albert were active
members. This society never forgves rene
gade member and this fact is mentioned in
explanation Of Mezzini's opposition TO Pus TX,
and Charles Albert; and this is the real secret
of the recent and other attempts by Italians
upon the EmperOr's life.
Loui. Napoleon has been tried by the chiefs
Of the society formally condemned to death and
received notice Of the doem which surely awaits
him. Those now in prison may suffer on the
scaffold, but they know that thousands are ready
to avenge them and even though torture be
tried (that it was under Louis Philippe, is proved
in Leuis Blanc's "Histsry of Ten Years." (they
will die without making sign.
At ball at Paris, not long aimee, . Senator,
great friend OF the Empress, was congratu-
lating her on her gayety and good spirits.
"YsE," she said, ~ seek to fsrgst myself; know
that one Of these days we shall all perish te-
gstherr Poor wenaai She is to be pitisd.
Her grace and goodness merit happier fate.
The crewA is indeed to her composed Of thOrns.
As for the Emperor, he 10 as thorough fatalst
as any Turk. what will be, will be-" is his
motto, but yet 1t is thought that much Of his
confidence Is assumed.
1t is known that the French exilss In Londsn
and Kossuth were not concerned in the late
conspiracy. Louis Blanc and Ledru Rellin are
both opposed to assassination. The affair was
solely the work Of the CarbOnari, aud it really
seems Just rstributiOn that one who conspirsd
himself should now be the object Of detestatien
to his brother conspirators. "He that taketh
the sword shall perish by the sword"
