HORRIBLE OUTRAGE IN PARIS.  An atrocious outrage was committed on Sunday evening, the 24th ult., on Dr. Totes, an elderly gentleman, who has been for some time residing in Paris. Dr. Tuke, who is a physician retired from practice, was returning home, after haying dined with a friend, near the Barrier de PEtoile. He had been compelled by call of nature to step aside on the Esplanade des Invalides, and was, whilst in this state, accosted in a brutal way by a soldier. At this moment an Inhabitant of Greuelle and his wife happened to be passing, and seeing an old gentleman exposed to the abuse of a young and vigorous subtler, they si3hol to interfere, but were told by the latter to go about their business. Five minuteK afterwards piercing cries were heard, and a lady and her daughter, who live on the Esplanade des Invalides, saw the soldier strike Dr. Tuke repeatedly, and then run off towards the Camp do Mars. The cries of the victim were heard also by a noncommissioned officer of the Municipal Guard, who was at a considerable distance, and who ran up, but not in time to seize the soldier. Dr. Take was picked up, and carried upon a litter to the Corps do Garde, and two surgeons were sent for. They found that he had not received less than eight wounds. There was a cut upon the whole length of the chin, two deep cuts down the nose, and the cheeks were so much cut that the bones were quite exposed. After the first medical care Lad been paid to the sufferer, who wa.s at the time insensible from loss of blood and pain, he was removed to the Hospital of la Charitie, where he remained in a senseless state for twenty hours. On his return to reason he stated that the soldier who had in the first Instance applied an approbrious epithet to him at the moment when the two persons above-mentioned were passing, continued to abuse him after their departure, and then attacked him with a sharp instrument with such force that he instantly lost his sight, and became insensible, after calling two or three times for assistance. We regret to learn by a subsequent account that the wounds inflicted upon the unfortunate gentleman have proved fatal. It appears that the instrument used was a bayonet, and not with a knife or razor, as was at first supposed by the surgeons. The soldier who is supposed to have committed the murder has been arrested, and was brought before the victim with a view to his being recognised; but erysipelas having come on and attacked the brain, Dr. Tuke was not in such a state as to render this confrontation useful. The man in custody belongs (according to one account) to the 3d company, lit battalion, 35th Regiment, and is remarkable for his brutal 'manners, and repeated breaches of military discipline. It is said that when he was arrested marks of blood were found upon his bayonet and upon the sheath. Paris letters, however, state that the real assassin has confessed his crime, and that he turns out to be a dragoon.
