 PARIS, March 15.-A letter from Geneva evidently written by Russian Nihilist, pub- i 1ished in the Intransigea7st, throws some I light on the Emperor's assassination. The writer says stAfter the abortive attempt at the Winter Palace the police seized 400, ,000 francs constituting the Nihilists' fund, and | until they had gotten together more money the revolutionary party were obliged to keep quiet. Warnings, however, were repeatedly sent to the Emperor, the last one reaching him on the 3d, but all were disregarded. His assassination had been determined on. To divert the attention of the police the Nihil-
 lsts let it be supposed that explo- siges were being manufactured for them in London, while they were being pre- pared in St. Petersburg. The bombs were loaded by women. We know the rest. The ll, ,AoAo &ho%&l list of the name of Roussakof." Rochefort prefaces the above by an article in which he ironically offers to wager that before twelve months have passed Alexander the Third will
 have granted Russia constitution.
 The French papers found great hopes upon the well known anti Germany sentiment of
 the new Emperor. The Vo1tatre in a eau tious article to-day counsels the Emperor to
 break out at once with Bismarck and the
 Germans. Our wishes, says the writer of the
 article, are neither untimey nor impertinent.
 The new Czar will be French enough for us
 if thoroughly Russian.
 LONDON, March 15.-St. Petersburg &C.,
 counts received to-day assert that if the Czar
 had permitted himself to be driven on in
 his carriage after the first explosion, the sad
 catastrophe might have been arrested. This, however, is not certain. It is now assumed
 that more assistants were posted in different
 parts of the city The Czar never took the
 
 Only at the moment of starting did his
 trusty orderly tell the coachman the route to
 take. Although it was known that the Elm
 peror would hold review, the route could
 not have been known beforehand. It is con-
 sidered certain that there must have been
 other spots on all the routes by which the
 Emperor could return. Reports are contra
 dictory about the arrest of the assassin. The
 thrower of the first bomb is supposed to have
 escaped. The second person arrested proves
 to be a respectable citizen, who was terrified
 by the explosion, and he was quickly re-
 leased Roussakoff is the only assassin ar
 rested, and he was student of the mining
 school at St. Petersburg, aged 21 years. The
 Emperor's last words were Sasha, Sasha"
 the diminutive for Alexander.
 The Paris correspondent of the VoltGire
 telegraphs that the entrails of the Emperor
 literally gushed out when the bomb struck
 him. An anonymous letter announcing the intended assassination was sent to Princess
 Dolgorouki on Sunday morning She en-
 deavored to persuade the Emperor to stay at home, but he would not. A Nihilist placard proclaiming death to Alexander, and warning his successor that if he did not adopt 8 lib eral policy he would share his fathers fate, was posted on the walls of St. Petersburg on Sunday evening.

 LONDON, March 15.-To- night in the Ho use of Commons Mr. Gladstone in a speech of splendid eloquence moved for address from the House to the Russian government expressing the horror felt by the Parliament and people of England at the murder of the Czar Never even, in the days of his greatest mental and physical vigor has the Premier shone with more power and brilliancy. He spoke of the virtues of the murdered Czar, of his brilliant career a soldier and mon- arch, of the high and noble sentiments which (not always, but at times,) inspired him, of his emancipation of the serfs, of his genuine anxiety and ambition to ameliorate the con- dition of his people.
