CARLOS. We give this as a current rumour, without vouching for its correctness. In our opinion credit is not due to it. The Government, however, has given positive orders for dislodging the Carlists at any sacrifice, from every place where they presume to execute the functions of local Administration. Generals ESCALERA and JAREGUY have been directed to disperse the Carlist Junta at San Leonardo, by which step all communication between the insurgents at Cantavieja and Segovia will be cut off. The Junta at San Leonardo has only 500 rebels to protect it. Of domestic intelligence the following paragraphs from the Droit supply all that is worthy of remark in the Paris Papers of Sunday : "On Thursday, about half-past five in the afternoon,'at the moment when Louis Philip left the Tuileries by the gate opposite the Pont Royal, an elegantly dressed-man let a pistol fall which he had concealed behind his coat. He was immediately arrested by the agents of the police, and conveyed to the Prefecture de Police, where his arrival, however, has been kept secret. He is about 28 years of age, we are told, and of middling stature?' This very mysterious pistol-dropping affair excited no attention whatever in Paris. It looks very like the brain-creation of one of those marvel-mongering gentlemen, whose connection with the Press is almost as slight as their own revelations with matters of fact. Whether the annexed paragraph, from the same Journal, relates to the pistol-dropper, or to some other disciple of the wretch ALIBAUD, we will not take upon us to determine : " For some days past vague reports have been in circulation relative to the arrest of an individual, who is said to have manifested the intention of attempting the life of the King. We have endeavoured to trace out the origin of this report, and the following are the details upon the subject which we are able to present to our readers. A painter of the name of C--. employed some time ago, in his workshop a man of the name of Sergent, whom he was obliged afterwards to dismiss, on account of his extreme ill conduct. Sergent, it appears, had, in consequence, threatened to murder his former master and all his family ; and Mr. C. finding himself constantly pursued by this fellow in the streets, and considering his life in danger, made a complaint to the police. From the investigation which took place in consequence, the agents of the police discovered that Sergent had not only threatened his master's life, but at different times defended the conduct of Alibaud and others, who had made attempts on the life of the King, and declared that he would go down to posterity in following their glorious example. Sergent was then arrested, and a sharp poignard found upon him. All the examinations which have taken place, however, have gone to prove that he was a stranger to all political opinion whatever, and belonged to no party, and that nothing existed in the violent expressions of which he had made use, but the vain words of a passionate and bad man." The KING'S life is no danger at present; not would it ever have been in danger but for the apostacy of the Government and the blunders of the police. Never was system of espionage so bunglingly conducted as that of France since the accession of Louis
