CORRESPONDENCE.
TO tAe Editor Of The Epeninq 7slearaph:-

II, after having taken his ordinary airing in the
,JGTdin d'Ete at st. Petersburg about to enter
his carriage hts return TO the Palace when an in
diVidual approached and fred pistol shot at hi
Majesty, who fortunately escaped unhurt. The
assassin was arrested on the spot, As yet nothing
is known re gardIng the culprit either as to what
country he belongs, or what motive he had to at.
tempt so odious a crime. However the case may be,
there can be but one feeling on the subject, that of
universal Indignation. The history of Russia has
already been too deeDly stained with blood and but
too many of its soyereigns have fallen victims by
the hands Of assassins In every country of Europe
it is sad to relate, the position of a sovereign is a
most dangerous one, but more in Russia than
elsewhere.
Without turning our eyes from our own country,
how many attempts have been directed against the
hfe of Napoleon III 1t is long list and we have
not arrived at the end yet for almost every year

TRIUMPH OF THE GOVERNMENT AT srRAsBURG
The election at Strasburg has proved most COM
plete victory for the Government and great have
been the TejoClngs at the 1uileres and elsewhere in
cOnse quence thereof. The Government candidate
Monsieur de Bussiere, has gained advantage over
his opponent by majority of 10000 against a
total OF 10000 voters. In all truth, it must be
owned that, as lar regarded the torn OF Stras
burg, the majority was favor OF the opposition
member but tie ruIai populations may be said to
have voted en- ndsSe Tor Monsieur de Bussiere who
thus gained decided victory for the Government
party, which was rendered the more complete by
the importance the Liberal press had attached to
this result One of the probable effects of the eec
tiOn OF Strasburg will be the consolidation of NJ
Lavaette IN his post as Minister of the Interior,
who, Tor moment, was thought likely to be obliged
to resign his post.
THE FREEDOM OF THE MERCHANT NAVY.
1t Is some time SINCE wrote to you about what was
going in the Corps LegiSlGtit which ha, been re.
assembled for the fortnight. The Chamber has

real triumph of progress and liberty and HIS conse

the prOtectionist party.
THE AUsTRo PRUssIAN PAPER WAR.
The dispute of the two great German powers may
be justly styled paper war, by the number of
notes exchanged between the two Courts. Eight
days ago war seemed inev ltable few days later
matters seemed calmed down. and now the aspect
OF affairs has become AGAIN more serious lhe panic
which existed last week at the Bourse has recon.
menced, and the general incerttude causes injury
to commerce In spite of the guarded silence of
Napoleon, it Is asserted that war will not be de-
clared, because he does not choose that such shall
be the Or if it bursts out in spite of the oppo
sition of his Majesty, 1t will fail to disturb the tran
quilty OF Europe. The great secret OF the opposi-
tiOn Of the Emperor to all projects of war Is that 1t
would interfere with his darling plan, the great
Exhibition OF 1867, which he is determined to real
ize in spite of all the maneuvres of Messrs Bsmark
ana Company.
