WARSAW (July a Correspondence Independence Beigsl
AT Warsaw, as ct Petersburg, the extreme par

ernment from the path of reform into which It
had boldly entered These parties viii tail, It IS
to be hoped, at Warsaw before the good sense
of the public, as they have failed at 81. Peters
burg l send you few details of tie horrible
attempt to assassihate the grand duke Con
stantine.
Yesterday morning, July s. his imperial high
ness the grand duke Constantine had received,
at the Chateau du Belvidere, the high Polish
functionsries and deputation from the municipal
body, presented to him by the head Of the civil
administration, Marquis Wieioposki- The duke
had kind word for each OF the members OF the
Council Of State He said that he counted upon
THAR loyal support, and was happy TO share their
lsbors. At noon his imperial higbnsss visited
the Greek cathedral, afterwards the Cathohe ca
thedral, and was received at the p0rehes OF coin
churches by the metropolitan archbishops OF the
respective faiths. BE was heartily welcomed
everywhere by large crowd, who occasionally
cheered him. In the evening his imperial high
ness drove in his carriage to the theater, with bus
an escort, to see the opera OF Stradella,
Before the opera was over, while getting into
bis carriage, about half-past nine o'clock, under
the vestibule of the theateT, an individual, who
had concealed himself in Of the passages,
approached close to him and fred pistol point
blank at him. The ball, fortunately, only gTazed
the left clavicle, having been turned by button
aad the archdul1e's epaulette. The assassin was
Immediately seized by one of the aid-de-camps
on duty, Baron BTemsen, who caught him 30
firmly by the back of the neck that he nearly
choked him. The man vOmited, and 1t was for

miserable wretch had the pistol still IN his hand.
| His name is Jarosynski, and he IS taIor's ap-
| prentice.
He has already been examined, and some Of
his aecomplices have been arrested. 1t IS diff
cult to describe whist CONSERVATION this event
has caused amtng the Russians as well IS Poles.
The opers, as you may imagine, was brought to
a sudden conclusion, and among the brst al the
side of the Grand Duke was the Marquis Vie
| loposki The Grand Duke was taken back to
| his box in the opera house, where he received
surgical aid and had the wound bandaged- He
then proceeded in a close carriage to the Chateau
du Bslvidere He himself informed the Grand
| Duchess of what had occurred, and, despite the
advanced state Of her pregnancy, she received
the news with great cslmness.
At first il WAS feared that the attempt was but
the signal for some revolutionary movement.
Strong detaehments Of troops Immediately pa
troed the streets and occupied the principal
squares, but, happily last night and this morn
| ing. have passed in perfect tranquility.
| And what viii now be the consequence Of this
attempts Let US hope that it viii induce the
| friends Of order to pronounce themselves ener-
getically against factions spirit, which shrinks
| from no means to thwart the regenerating work
inaugurated by the sovereign, under the auspices
! of his august brother and the Marquis Wielo-
polski.
It is said that among the prisoners arrested is
the man who fred at General Luders. The gem
eral has been suffering great agony the last few
days.
The following is the official announcement Of
the attempt Yesterday, 81, at hafpast nine P

point of entering his carriage, young man ap-
preached him, and aiming pistol toward his
person. fred The protection OF Providence
watched over so precious life. Ihs bullet
pierced the military overcoas, the epauletse, uIl
form and shirt, inhicting wound just above tht
left clavicle, but, stopped by the fringe Of the
epaulette, was deadened between the shirt aud
flesh. The miserable assassin was arrested OF
