THE LATE ATTEMPTED ASSASSI NATION.  We take from yesterday's hfoniteur the following remarks made ,by the Minister of Public Instruction, M. Rouland, in the address delivered by him upon the occasion of presenting the prizes to he students of the Pnitotechnic anti Polytpchnic Societies for the instruction of the working classes in Paris :  The Imperial family has been true to its noble traditions. Napoleon 1. led on the French people in his own steps to defend his national right, denied at that time by all the monarchies of Europe. He placed that people everywhere. in the camps, councils, and administratioes. He loved then, wi-hed them to -be great and honoured. B, th of them, the people and the Emperor, lived with one heart, one and the same thought ; and during their strop°. halts, -when the din of battles slept, they founded together by their manners arid laws that new France which has no equal among nations. Therefore, when the Emperor, exiled from his country, vent to die on the rock of Si-. Helena, his name continued. to live in the depth of men's souls, and his gloriou3 imege, hovering over fresh generations, received from them an ovation of respect previoefly unknown to history. Napoleon Ili., in hiS turn, spurning _ all vulgar ambitions, and having saved that France which anarchy wanted to sully and enslave, came to offer the people the clasp of a pewerfol and friendly hand. Consecrated by universal suffrage, he has brought the country back to a true feeling for great things ; be has invited France to partake with him all his ideas of justice and national dignity. In Ilia bands the flee of France has again found its ancient glory, and the as:onished world has greeted in our young soldiers the discipline and bravery of the old phalanxes of the army. So many glories and services; so much devosion and intelligence, have assured to the Emperor the love of the people; but they have not teen able to avert those savage passtone which, disowned by every nation, as they ought to b 3 by every asylum, attack princes and goveromcnts for the purpose of gratifying some frightful lust of murder and destruct:on. God has given no name to these infamies and insane appetites of the human mind, and nations only term them by the horror they inspire. Our children will refuse to believe in these lamen•a`de recitals of infernal machines scattering,death amongst a who!e mass of collected in dividual that it t.:us might reach more surely a noble and loyal soveretn and his w..11-Icloved consort, whos) grac., confidence, and inexbaustibe kindness conl,l not protect her from the implacable hatred of the regicides. But let them at least find, in our annals, the expression of our universal indignation. GJettlemeh, the whole mass of the peons has risen to brand the itSSI.B3II.IS. It would have risen likewise to crush their criminal success and to protect, the infant heir of the greatest popular name in modern times. I bear witness to their loyalty, honour, and patriotism ; and you all will repeat with me, workmen and mnters, rich and poor, these words which France has ratified" Contempt and maledictions upon those who dis-1 honour humanity." . ..._  LA FY
