ATTEMPT UPON THE KIN ”i’S LIFE
BY AN INFERNAL MACHINE
P.-titis, July 29.—It is with the deepest coii-
cern that we lay before our readers the details
of the above horrible event, that t.ook place at
the review yesterday. After having passed
along the boulevard to the fathercst point at
which the National Guards and the troops were
drawn up, His Majesty, accompanied by the
Duke of Orleans, de Nemours, the Prince dc
Joinville, and a numerous and brilliant Stall",
was returning along the same line to the Place
Veiitlonic, where the troops were to lilo before
him. At twelve, at the moment when he had
reached the Boulevard du Teiriple, a litt.le be-
fore the Theatre des Fuiiuiiibiilcs, a tremendous
explosion, resembling irregular platoon firing,
was heard. At first it was supposed to'.be a‘dis-
cliarge of lire-works, but the fall and cries of the
victims soon revealed the reality, and excessive
confusion cnsiicd—aii Infernal Macliiue had
just poured fourth a shower of balls upon the cor-
Marshal, Duke
dc Trcvise, fell and expired without uttering a
word. Several other olliccrs and some ofthe
National Guards were also killed, and a consider-
able nuiubcr of persons wounded. The falling
of seine horses, among which was that ofMar-
slial Morticr, and the capcring of others added
to the tumult, which it woi.ild be dilllcult to de-
scribe. During this scene the King, whose arm
had been grazed by a bullet, and whose horse
had received a wound in the neck, inaintaiucd
the calmness by which he is distinguished, and
displayed remarkable courage by riding up in
the direction of the house from which the explo-
sion caine. After the first emotion had passed,‘
the cortege cout.iiiucd its route amidst Shouts Of
joy for the preservation ofthe King’s life_, and
threats of vengeance against the assasssiiis.—
The bodies ofthe slain and the persons that were
wounded were immediately carried it) the Cafe
Turc opposite where medical assistance was iin-
mediately alforded to such as were still alive.-
Smoking was seen to proceed from the third
story of the house No. 50, on the Boulevard du
Temple, of which the ground floors are occupied
by a wine dealer named Paranlt. Each story
consists of one chamber, which is lighted by a
single wiuntlow in front. The house was iiii—
mediately surrounded, arid all the persons found
in it arrestetl. The room in which the machine
had been constructed is very small, its diincn-
sions bcing only six and half feet by seven.——
The machine was made with skill, of wood,
with iron braces, and extremely solid. Two up-
rights supported two cross bars of wood, placed
parallel to the window, and in these were form-
ed grooves, in which were laid 25 gun barrels.
The front cross bar, placed at about a foot from
the window was rather lower than that behind,
so that the balls might reach the body ofa man
on horseback in the middle of the Boulevard.-
The charge was so heavy, that 5 out ofthe twen-
ty-five barrels had burst, notwithstanding they
were very substantial and new. The assassin
was immediately taken into custody. About
three months ago he hired the rooms ofthe sc-
cond and third stories of M. Dalleinagnc, the
proprietor. He gave his name Girard, a ine-
chauician, and appears to be about twenty-four
years of age. His room has a window in front
and another behind, and he had taken the pre-
caution to fasten a rope to the latter, toassist
him in making his escape. ly the bursting of
some of the barrels, at the moment of the ex-
plosion the assassin was wounded in the fore-
head, the neck, and the lip. Notwithstanding
his wounds he rushed out ofthe window. Some
Police officers having ran into the inner court,
and seeing Girard shipping down the rope, one
of them exclaimed “Ah wretch! we have you.”
Girard, who was at the moment at the height
of a wall, threw himself over it into an adjoiii-
iug court, and there :1 police olliccr apprehend-
ed him. He was placed upon a hand-barrow,
and conveyed to the Concicrgcric. The Minister
of the Interior the Prefect of Police, and sever-
al Magistrates went to the house, and in the as-
sassin’s chamber they found the remains of the
infernal machinestill smoking, a straw bed, and
a fire lighted. A delay of halfa second perhaps
in the explosion saver] the ]it‘e of tho King-—
The King, the Prince de Joinville, the Duke of
Orleans, the Duke de Nenionrs, Marshal La-
ban, & Marshal Morticr. All those in the cor-
tege who were wounded were nearly on the
same line as hlarshal Morticr. The news of
the attempt was rapidly propagated through the
capital, and produced a powerful seiisatioii.—
General dc Rumigny, Aide-dc-Camp to the
King, set off full gallop to inform the Queen
that his Majesty and the Princess had escaped
the danger, fearing _that she might have been
seriously alarmed if she had heard of the event
from any one that had not witnessed it. In
passing along the lines he mentioned to several
officers what had occurred, 6.’. soon there was
not a soldier that remained ignorant of it. As
the troops of the line did not extend to the Bott-
levard du Temple, they were ordered to shift in
that direction, that they might be ready to act
in case of att.cinp's at disturbance. At the mo-
ment of filing off before the King, the National
Guards shouted Viva la It’0i! which was an-
swered by the troops of the line. The Guards
ofthe Sth legion, which had lost some ofits of-
ficers and men, added cries ofA bus [cs assas-
sins! The King returned to the Tuilerics about
5 o’clock ; evidently deeply clfectcd by the
scene he had witnessed. During the whole of
the afternoon and evening crowds flocked out of
curiosity to the melancholy spot, in coiiseqticucc
of which a strong detachment of Municipal
Guards was stationed there to keep the peace.-
Tlic following are the persons whose lives iavc
been ascertained to have been sacrificed. Mar-
shall the Duke de Trcvisc, struck in the heart
by a ball; General de Lacliassc do 'I‘crigny,
struck on the forehead by a ball; Captain Vil-
latc,’ aid-dc-camp to Marshal Maison ;——Lt. Col.
Ricusscr-, of the 8th Legion, struck by three
balls; Messrs. Prudliomme,. Ilicliard, Leger,
and Benettcr, Grcnadiers of the 8th Legion; a
Colonel in the army, two citizens, a woiuaii and
a child, whose names we were unable to learn.
Galignani’s Messenger oftlic 30th says: The
number of victims is much more considerable
than was at first bclicvcd. Several persons
wounded were immediately taken to their own
homes, and therefore were not included in the
list before published. The number ofkillcd and
wounded is said to be 3-1, including 16 who died
immediately, or subsequently perislicd from
their wounds. Among them was M. Labronste,
aged 70, a member ofthe Legion of lrlonor, one
of the oldest receivers oftaxcs in Paris. l}lis
wounds are very‘ serious, but hopes are enter-
tained that his life may be saved. Out of eight
persons carried to the Ilospital St Louis, fotir
have iiridcrgoiic amputation.
At the inouicnt the explosion took place, the
King had inclined sliglitly on one side to receive
a petition.
The I)ukc dc llroglic received a bullet through
the collar of his coat. I
In Paris on the 28th, a grand dinner was giv-
on at the Tiiillerics, at which all the Auiba'ssa-
dors and Foreign Miiiistcrs were prc.-;eut. At
dinner and throughout the evening, the .l{.ing
displziyed the uttnost calmness. llc frt,-qticiitly
exprc.-:scd in all},-cling terms his regret at the
death of Marslial Morticr and the other victiius
of the day.
A Great number of Mayors and Deputy
Mayors of the tirroudissciuenl. asscuiblcd on
Tuesday after the review, and signed an ad-
dress to the King.
Tlie Di.-putics remaining in Paris also went
to the Palace ofthe Ttiillcries, when M. Col-
moi, as Vice President. atltlrtass-c-tl the King, to
which his Majesty replied as follows 2--
“I am sensibly tilfcctcd with the eagerness of
tlie Cliaiiibcr of.l.)cputicS to alliird me :1 new
tcstitiioiiy of dcvotcdiicss. Jt lias never lost
sight of an opportunity of proving its alli:ct.ion
You say with truth that this day is for me a day
of eternal sorrow.’ Yes; I have seen perish by
my side an illustrious Marshal, and brave
Ifrenchmcu, whose loss would be less alilicting
had they not fallen by the hands ofotlicr J:‘reucli-
men.”
The Moiiiteur contains a proclamation and
ordoiiiiance to the following ellcct:—“The Fetes
for the celebration ofJuly, 1830, shall not be
continued.
pCl'li)l‘lilCtl in honor of the victims of the attempt
oftbis day.”
The Government had decided that one funer-
al procession shall be formed of all the victims
t:ifTucsday, instead of taking place separately.
The Chamber ofPeers had determined to go in- '
to mourning for live days, from that of the fu-
nerals.
In the secret; sitting, the Court of Peers, af-
tcr hearing the requisitory oftlicl’rocurcur Gen-
eral, pronouuccd a decision ordering a prcliiiiin-
ary investigation, and appointing a Conuuittee
oflnvcstigation and also :1 Couiniittce of Dis-
charge.
Girard, the assassin, as stated in the Paris
Mcssagcr, was employed as a dealer in second
hand articles ofall kinds, and was more particu-
larly engaged in cleaning and rt-pairing old lire
arms, and is a very able and skilful workman.
He was known among his companions to en-
tertain legitimist opinions, and it was even be-
lieved that he received a pension from the Dn-
chess of Angoulenie. He is 39 years ofage.——
Ntitwitlistaiitliiig the serious nature ofhis wounds
he is cxpccied to recover, and is now able to con-
verse. Being questioned as to his motives for
coiuiuitting sticli a crime, and urged to declare
whether he had any accomplice, be fully ad-
mitted his guilt, and said he knew his fate was
inevitable; but as to his 1llOil\“S, he confines
liiiiiselfto saying that liedislikcd the King, and
further declared, that were he even put to the
torture, he could not name his accomplices, for
in fact, he had none.
A telegraphic despatch from Bayonne, receiv-
ed at Paris July 29th, annoiiuce that on the 25tli,
100 more English recruits had landed at St. Se-
bastian. Two other vessels were descried to-
wards Santander.
A letter from Turin states, that one of the
prisoners who escaped from-St. Pelagic, arrived
at Turin on the night 0fll1C.'3Ist July.
The following are additional particulars that we
have been able to collect on the attempt ofycstcr-
day:
Girard has confessed his crime, but maintains
that he had no accomplices; two white hats of
dill'crcut sizes, were, however, found in his room,
which would indicate that at least two parties
were cognizant to the construction ofthe inurdcr-
ous cngiiic. The assassin concealed his prepar-
ations by Persian blinds, and did not unmask
his machine _till the moment the king was pass-
ing before the house. It is prcstiined that he had
not made. his calculations of distance with suf-
ficicnt precision, and that the time required for
opening the window caused his project to fail.-
All the barrels that were discharged were tired
at the same moment, by means ofa train of gun-
powder running to the toticli holes. Each bar-
rel contained at least six balls, and the charge
filled eight inches; this has been ascertained by
an examination of those that missed fire. The
fire that burst did so with such force that the
walls of the room were much damaged. A
journal of this morning, states the death of the
assassin last night, but we have ascertained that
this is not the fact, and that it is fully expected
he will survive the effects of the wounds.
Spain.—Tlie Moriit.eur supplies the following
intelligence from the North of Spain. "Cordo-
va, on leaving Pairipeluiia, divided his army
into two corps, which occupied on the 22d in-
stant, Tafalla and Piiente dc la Ptcyua. The
Carlist army was the same day in the environs
of Estella, extending itself towards the Arva.—
It had been joined by Merino, Quevillas, and
V_illalobos, at the head of their hands from Cas-
tile. The Messagcr asserts that the Govern-
ment has received intelligence from Madrid of
the 22d, to the cllcct that the poeple were in a
state of great agitation, that the troops took no
part in the popular clamours, but manifested
their intention not to fire upon the crowds. and
that l.IlC Urban: Sxxax-J Juincsl in the SCIICIIHI CIIS‘
satisfaction felt with regard to the decree of the
Marquis de las Amarilla. The following incas-
ures, it is added, were universally called for:—
A change of ininistry—an iiniuediate assem-
bling ofthe Cortes—-the return ofthe Queen Re-
gent to Madrid--—and the abrogation of the de-
crce establishing military comuiissions. bla-
drid, on the 21st and 22d, is represented as wear-
ing an alarming aspect.
The Jlfcntoriczl dcs P]/rcmzccs states that the
Carlists, in order to avenge the death of Reyna,
the commander oftlicir artillery. who was shot
after having been prisoner at Puciite dc la Rey-
na, had put to death 60 olliccrs ofthe Queen’s
troops, who were amongst their prisoners.
A letter from Gibraltar, dated 17th inst. states
that a Spanish brig had been brought into that
port, having sailed from Tarragona, bound toi
the Havana, with 150 Carlist prisoners on board,
who overpowered the crew and_ took possession
of the vessel. “A Sardinian ship” the letter
goes on to say, “was likewise chartered for the
purpose of conveying 200 more Carlists, and
the circunistance of IS bodies being found near
Salee, on the coast of Bmbary, hand—cuflcd,
gives rise to a suspicion that they are the crew
oftlic vessel, who have also been overpowered
and murdered.
The Constitutionncl has a long letter from
Naples, dated the 10ili of July, in which the
journey of Prince Leopold to Paris aiitl London
is represented not to have been undertaken merc-
ly liir pleasure, or with a View to marriage with
a French princess, but to have been the conse-
qtieiice ofa rcconimcndation to travel. given

ics, upon the discovery of his having counten-

for separating that Kingdom from Naples, and

Leopold's) head. ‘

ple oftlic north, in the language ofaii old play,
that they ofthe south are “cliildrcn of the sun,

event ofour non-compliance, itcalmly holds up
a naked sword, to iiititnatc the alternative we

calmly avows its readiness “to take its stand

are not surprized to hear that the poor poet has
at length reached this bourne, from which, next
to death, but few return. The wayward genius
of the child to song seldom leads to a more cheer-
ful destiny, when left to the gtiiding of its own
untaught impulses; and that McLaughlin felt

ture and frequent reverses of fortune, has sulli-
cicutly provhed.
ofhis genius, in his end and in a portion of his
life, he too was a soldier and a poct—bnt, unlike
Otway, he was brave.
The father of Edward A. McLaughlin is a
clergyman ; and was, during the last war, a
coinmissary general;
of manners and ofundoubtcd piety. During the
administration of Gen. Jackson he was a chap-
lain in the navy, from which situation he has
been removed ; and, as we learn, for the crime
of entertaining some heterodox opinions upon
the subject of politics—not religion. The poet
was born in New York, and served‘ his appren-
ticcsliip to the printing business in Bridgeport, I
in this county, in the oflice owned by the late
Lambert Lockwood, Esq; making a proper al-
lowancc for the hiatus occasioned by his having
occasionally abscoudcd. He had received the
rudiments of a good education ; his father hav-
ing intended him for some liberal profession, but
just as he had prepared for entering college,
some youthful iridiscretion forced his destiny in-
to another cliamiel. His master was lenient, and
took a truly fatherly interest in his success, no less
upon accotint of his genius than of the high re-
spectability of his connexions, his grand father
then being a clergyman at Gicenwicli. Buttlie
“poet’s eye in a fine frenzy rolling,” was con-
stantly leading him into those ideal worlds where
the soul “lapt in Elysium,” too often forgets the
cares and duties of this dull earth. This be-
ing nlso, during the lat.e war with great Britain,
his military ardor, no less than the divine allia-
tus of the Nine, engaged a large share of his at-
tention , and, upon every little alarm, Ned was
always to be seen with his musket on his shoul-
dcr and a cartouch box hanging at his hecls.—
During his apprenticeship be contributed many
fugitive pieces of great merit and which would
have done honor to a inticli inatiireer intellect,
to the columns of the village newspaper. Ills
genius was certainly of a high order, and we
doubt that the production now before us, cqtials I
in true poetic fervor and in’vcntion, the efforts of
his earlier days. ‘
His pieces have always been distinguished by
delicacy, pathos and s\veetne.ss. He liad a twin
brother, William, who, after his military studies
at\Vcstpoint, entered the army, and (Il“!l"i0_l|l.’\‘l1—
ox] Iiiu.l5Cll at the battle of Lnndy Lane, which
he celebrated in some spirit-stirring lines. Ed-

dition.
listment, he went to New Orleans, and from
thence returned to the city of New York; and
having hnsbanded the wages of several years,
he seemed to think he had accumulated a for-
tune, which would supply him with the means
of cnjoyuient to the end of his life; and he lived
accordingly in a style of unthinking prodigality,
which soon reduced him to penury. After this,
we lose sight of him for several years, during
which time he had entered the army ofBolivar;
served several campaigns in Colombia and Cen-
Crossed the Andes, served in the

revolutionary army in Peru; from thence mi-
grated to Bucnos Ayrcs, and entered the Navy
under Commodore Brown. He likewise served
in Bermuda; was sent to England in a British
vessel; went over to France, entered a United
States vessel ; and went to Brazil, where he was
during the revolution. How he again reached
the United States we do not know. But in all
these adventures, he was not an idle spectator,
either of men, manners, country or customs;
and returned to his native land with a mind
stored with knowledge. A retentive memory
and the command of fine language, have thus
rendered him a most entertaining raconlcur.-—
His liaiz-breadth escapes, his battles, accidents
by flood and field; the crossing of the Andes,
the persons ofhis ollicers, the discipline and pe-
culiariticsoftlie army, personal anecdotes, the
face of the various countries he visited, their in-
stitutions, inanucrs, peculiarities, &c. &c. have
placed at his command a fund of matter for a
inostcntertaining volninc ; wliichitmight be the
interest of sonic enterprising publisher to engage
him to write. .
Amid all his misfortunes and indiscretions, we
doubt that his life has been sullicd by a crime.
His errors were all venial, and the result of an
iinagiuative and warm temperament, niiguidcd
by common prudence and forecast; and that he
should, at this period, he consigned to the care
of public cliaiity, was neither a matter of stir-
prisc to us, nor an event to be deplored; at least,
so long as it. should save him frotn becoming an
earlier victim to iiiteiiiperaiicc. Could he have
had, like Moore, a princely Mactuiias, he too
might have attained an enviable renown; but
his fortune being left to the stewardship of his
worth. Leisure and a subsistence may yet do
that for him, which opportunity has never ac-
coinplislicd.

fl?TllC New York Evening Post, a most
strenuous advocate for the freedom ofthe press;
a fearless and independent party paper; and,
professing to. be guided, in its political course,
solely by astern sense of ‘equity and justice,
complains that, for its free and, to our apprehen-
sioii, most able and cogent remarks upon the
conduct and opinions of the Post Master Gene-
ral and the Post Master at New York. in rela-
tion to the admission of the publications of the
Anti-Slavery Society into the United States
mails, it has been deprived of the advertisements
of the latter, and that patronage transferred to
the more pliant and unscrupulous Times. At
the same time, the Post takes occasion to revert
to similar past instances of this species of ollicial
punishment which has been awarded it, for sim-
ilar olicnces, in the withdrawal, consecutively,
ofthe patronage ofthe Secretary ofthe Treasu-

expression may be grannnatical, but.it is not eti-
phonious—that really, upon the veracity of an
editor——which some pretend to doubt-—we are
almost inclined to plead guilty to the charge,
merely to oblige him and help him make out his
case, were it not that we entertain an entirely

pleasure to be robbed by so handsome a follow

think of prosecuting so brave and so elegant a
young highwayinan. Indeed we would at least
have passed the charge over in silence were it
not that our neighbor, not content with this soft
enforccincut toward ourself, attein pts, at the

VVe beg leave, however, to remark that we
are not aware that there is a single \Vliig paper
in the United States supporting the Abolition-

it is “slander” to speak the truth; for it may
well be said in his case, “the greater the truth
