Of its duties and whereas, while temporari-
ly sojourning in Paris, an attempt has been
made to assassinate their Majestics, tho En-
peror and Empress of the French, and that
by means which necessarily endangered the
lives of many of both sexes and of all ages,
against whom the murderers could have no
cause of i'll will; and whereas. American re-
gard with horror the crime Of assassination
and such diabolical attempts to commit 1t {;
therefore,

exposed.
