topic Of the week On the day follow
ing the event, addresses we're made TO
the Emperor by representatives Of the
Corps Diplomatiquo, of the Senate, the
Legislative Body, the Council Of States,

press upon their escape. Some of che
officials in their addresses limited that
the English Government should be
called upon to expel those refugees who
abused her hospitality By organizing in
their retreat plans Of destruction, and
perfecting thoir conspiracies The En-
peror in reply to the great bodies of the
State, expressed his firm confidence and
reliance in their support and devotion.
He added that, at the same time, he was
resolved to adopt such measures as might
be deemed advisable, but should not de-
part from that path Of frmness and
moderation which he had hitherto fol-
lowed
The French journals had joined in
the cry for the expulsion Of the con-
spirators from Europe, and the Paris
correspondent of the Times says it was
positively stated that q communication
had been made by the French minister
in London to the English Government,
demanding the expulsion from England
Of five political refugeos-ono or two
italian, and the rest French.
The effect Of the explosion Of the
three proieotiles proved, on investiga-
ton, to be far more disastrous than was
at first supposed. The number of per
sons more or less wounded, fell little if
any short Of one hundred and fifty, and
six had died Of the injuries they sus-
tlined.
The proicctilcs employed were Of tho
most formidable kind, and it is said that
not less than twenty of them were
meant to be used. Five minutes pre-
vious to the explosions, an Italian nam
led Pierri, who was expelled from France
in 1852, was recognized by the police
and arrested. He was armed with a
six barrelcd revolver and dagger, and
was the bearer Of bomb similar to those

rested at his lodgings upon information
given by his servant, is said to have

named Gomez and Da Silva alias Rudio,

chiefs in the'affair. Apolice officer from
London had arrived in Paris foI the
purpose of Identifying Pierri and Orsi-
nj as having been connected with the
