CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.  • (FP,OM OUR OWN COIIRESrONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. Some additional particulars of great interest have transpired relative to the odious attempt to assa.esinate the Emperor Alexander. An eye-witness says that as the Court equipages were returning by the Avenue de Longchamp several private carriages in advance obstructed the way and compelled the Imperial carriages to proceed slowly. All of a sadden a pistol was fired at the carriage containing the two Emperors and the Grand Dukes. A captain of the Paris Guard, M. Lubet, rushed forward and seized an individual. At the same moment another captain of the same regiment, M. de Presle, who was riding up the side avenue, jumped from his horse to assist his colleague. They both held the assassin firmly. Then began a fierce struggle between the two officers and the surrounding multitude. The crowd, indignant and exasperated, rushed upon the murderer. A thousand voices cried, "We must kill him !" and every arm was raised to seize, strangle, and tear him to pieces. It is impossible to describe this scene of exasperation and just fury. The two officers disputed the possession of the prisoner with the crowd. One of them had his epaulets torn .off. The violence of the struggle was such that one of the officers was separated from the assassin, but his colleague, aided by several persons, retained his hold of him. They were nearly 'suffocated, such was the pressure. The group were forced towar.is the other side of the road. The officer and the men who assisted him continued their efforts to defend the murderer, 7.,h0 nearly fainted. He lost a good deal of blood from the wounds he received when the pistol burst, and the hands of these who held him were covered with blood. In the crowd the thickness of the grass rendered progress difficult, and M. de Presle was compelled to relinquish his grasp of the prisoner for a moment. The crowd again cried out, " Hang the murderer to a tree," and made an attempt to carry their threat into execution. A trumpeter of the Guard, however, had been sent for assistance, which arrived just in time to prevent the execution of the design. The Guards of Paris at length succeeded in forcing a passage and surrounding the prisoner, and he was dragged into a carriage. If assistance had not arrived precisely at this juncture, assuredly Lynch law would have been executed ' upon the assassin. The scene of violence bad lasted for 20 minutes.  While this strange struggle was proceeding in a corner of the wood-, vociferous acclamations arose around the Imperial carriage, and more than 200,000 voices protested against the flagitious act by the cry of Vice l'Empercur. The guilty man was conducted to the Prefecture of Police, under au escort of the Guards of Paris. It has been said that a lady was wounded, but it is now believed that the ball only slightly grazed the top of her head. Berezouwki is a mechanic, and was employed in the shop of M. Gouin, a metal chaser. " You have a chance, the Emperor is not hurt," said one of the agents in the carriage. At this news the assassin seemed nearly choked with rage, and appeared as if thunderstruck. As a Polish refugee, Benezouwki received a share of the assistance given by the French Government to his countrymen in want. When sixteen he took part in the insurrectional campaign in Poland.

At two in the morning he was transferred to the Conciergerie, where he is under special surveillance. There was a touching scene at the Tuileries on the return of the Emperor.
