PARIS, Jan. 25. 1853
Paris still remains 10 notable degree under tho
influence of the affair of the Rue Lepeuetier Al.
though the Emperor's life has been frequently at
tackled before all the preceding attempts at sssss-
snation put together have not affected Government
or the public, not TO say the European world
nearly as greatly a. this last. This extr ,ordnsg
emotion and commotion is not entirely owing to the
bodness Of the attack or the narrowDsss Of the
escape. Panori's attempt Was as bold and cane
about as near the fulfllment Of its purpose. II IL
largely owing TO the absence in French aud Euro
pesn political life for the moment of any pressing
stirring question Of vital interest-the question Of
the Dsnubian Principsllties and the question Of
Danubi,n Navigation having no dep hold % the
general interest, being rather matter for waste dis

proofs, or at least strong grounds for suspicion ia

iestatisns, which the failure Of the Lille affir Of
the PanOri affair and the Ttaldi affair has not had
even a tendency to discourage or oisorganize.
There Is an empire against the Empire, ruled with
NapoIeonic energy Of viii and persistence Of pur-
pose, aud ruling over an extent Of resources and D
number OF all-dsring agents, whose power is fev-
fully Increased BY the very d'mness Of tie terrofs il
inspires. Terrible realities prove the existenee Of
this Empire OF the Assassin but the police not only
OF France but Of all Europe are bafed In theiroun-
mig researches - 70 its extent, its population it,

their subtle ieelers running out over Europe, they
detect here and there, in Jersey, 10 Birmins-

remarkable signs, tokens and mares meats; they
obtain extremely curious and importans iniofma-

No one here supposss that tSoss fosr men were
without accompGcss in Paris, in the immediate
neghbOrhood. Not one Of these secOmplices has
vet been caught. A number Of arrests have beea
made in and out u the city suspicion, but 90 fR

No one doubts that men are walking at large to-day
in the streets of the capital perhaps trotting past
tie Emperor's carriage IN the Bois de Boulogae. -
