The attempt of the l4th Of January struck
Paris, France and all Europe with stupor. After
having first returned thanks to God people asked,
what was the origin of that crime whence came
the assassins-in what circle they had conceived
thoughts which had nothing human in them, so per-
verse and savage were they? The assassins had
come from England. The crime had been prepared,
encouraged, paid for perhaps by those societies
of refugees who dishonor the generous hospitality Of
free country by sheltering there the permanent
conspiracy OF Assassination.
People very naturally say to each other in
France, How is it, then that it is always in
England that attempts against the life of the EN-
what we ought to expect from an alliance so loyalty
observed during the peace, and so gloriously ce-
mented during the war?'
The attempt of the l4th of January was not in
