NJ. LIE CoMrE The legal proceeding which has been
commenced in regard to the criminal attempt recently
made the person of the Emperor taking its
and shall shortly ascertain its defnitve result but
there is point upon which even cannot enter
tain any doubt. This fresh attempt, like those which
preceded it, has been devised in England.
1t was in England that PanOri formed the plan OF
striking the Emperor it was from London that in an
affair the recollection of which is still recent Mazzini
Rollin and Campanella directed the assassins
whom they had furnished with 1t is there also
that the authors of last plot have leisurey prepared
their of action, have studied their of action
have studied and constructed their instruments Of dcs
trucOn which they have employed and it is from thence
they set out to carry their plans into execution.
In recording these circumstances, at once add how
much the government of the Emperor persuaded Of the
sincerity of the sentiments of reprobaton which They
created in England 1t is equally convinced that will
such proofs in their possession of the abuse of hospitality
the English government and people understand at
to what extent justified in directing our aten
ton to them.
No one appreciates and respects more than we do thu
lbelalty with which England is disposed to exercise
the right of asylum in regard to foreigners, victims

looked upon it duty of humanity to close he
frontiers to any honorable person in misfortune what
ever might be the party to which he belonged and hi
Maestys government docs not complain that its oppo
nents should find refuge on the English SOIL and liv
there in peace remaining faithful to their opinions t,

But NJ lie Comte how different is the attitude of TIN
skilful demagogues established in England 1t is n,
longer the hostility of misguided individuals manifesn.
itself by all the of the press and all the violence
of language it longer the work of the fac
ous, seeking to opinion and to approve disorder
it is assassination elevated to doctrine preached openly
practised in repeated attempts the most recent of whic
has just struck Europe with amazement. Ought then
the right of ASYLUM to protect such state of things
Is hospitality due to assassns? Ought the Englis
legislation to contribute to favor their designs and thei
plans and can it continue to shelter persons Who b.
their fragrant acts place themselves beyond the pale
common light and under the ban of humanity?
In submitting these questions to her Britanic Males
tvs government, the government of the Emperor doe
not merely discharge duty towards itself; it reechoe
the sentiment of the country, which, under the inuenc
of the most legitimate anxiety, calls upon it to do 50
and which, in matter where the common interest anon
all nations and all governments is so clear considers ii
self entitled to reckon upon the concurrence of England
The repetition and wickeness of these guilty ENTERPRISE
expose France to danger against which we are boun
to provide.
Her Britanic Majcsty's government can assist us il
averting it by aording us guaranty of security whc
no State can refuse to a neighborng State and wbic
we authorized to expect from ally. Fully RELY
ing, moreover on the high sense of the English cabne
we refrain from indicating in any way, the measure
which it may see fit to take in order to comply with hi
wish. We rest entirely upon it for estimating the dc
csions which it shall deem best calculated to attain tn
object and we are firmly persuaded that we shall nc
have appealed in vain to its conscience and to its poo6
will
You will have the goodness to read this despatch
