FRANCE.-—.ziH(I-(.‘.7.: 12],! a .7lIa,7iiac on Louis
P/tilli])pc.—~A woman named Steppaine Gi-
radet, a servant out of place, who, it is said,
is insai'ie, threw into the cai‘riage of their
Majestics a stone, which broke the window,
of whicli the pitces of glass wounded the
Queen on the lIt‘23Ll. The woman was ini-
.nietlietciv arrcsti d and conducted before the
commissiiry of police of the Tuilerics dis-
trict, whcre she was interrogated by the pre-
fect of the Seine and the prefect of police.

_. The carriage occupied by the Iiiirig, the

. Queen, and Maclani Adelaide, his sister, had
arrived near the iron gate to the Tuileri-t-s
gardens, when a \\’(HI!dIT rapidly appi0<"icl'I:.*d
the door. The soldiers of the escort were
prr-pai‘ing to push her ,back, when raising‘
her arm, she threw with force a pi‘ojt-ciile,
which broke the glass, the fraguieiits of
which struck the (liter.-tils head above the left
ear. The L‘:11‘i‘lt1§1t'-.!Si stopped an instant; but
the wound not being serious. the Kiiig order-
ed them to go on to Cloud The autlioi‘
of this II1Cl‘('flll)lL‘. assault appears to be about
30 years old. She is of the middle height,
and of :1 sanguine tcinperainent. 'I'he inco-

doubt as to liei‘ insariiiy.

as it is, of more u‘-.odci‘ate politicians, would
reject all i‘evoliit.ioiiary measures, and thus
bring the govciiiincrit to a dead lock. A

fY':€11'1l.'(,’I‘, a patriotic friend gave us ‘.1 noble

but the -people who are our common constit-
uents or masters. _ _
It is true, as I have heretofore said,rtbat in
1834, when the Sub-Treasury was first spok-
en of, I thought favoraly of it, and would
then have suppoi‘tcd it, p1’O\-'1(lt"Cl m_y'p0lItic8l
friends had agreed with me in opinion: but
the matter is now entirely changed in my
view of this siilijtzct.
Then, my idea was, that the details should
be such as to lessen. not to increase the pow-
er ofthe Executive over the public moiieys.
l_\’ow, the project is to give him, in my opin-
ion, almost unlimited control over tlicni. \
Then, it was very doubtful \‘i'l‘.t‘l.l’1C'1‘ safe
hanks could he induccd to take cliui‘ge.- fthe
public moiiies upon icasoiiable and . fair
tei‘n'-.s; now, no such doults are rnter'aiucCl.
Then, I lzad entire confidciice. in the 
cutive; now, that coiifidciire docs not cxist
Tin.-ii, we l.ad not the i_iL‘I1t'fllIOfllXl)f?i'l(‘IlC(‘

still going on along the coast, and sales were

may use for the corruption of the people, and
furtherance of his aiirbitious and arbitrary de-
sigi-is. Another disagreeable feature of this
measure is. it brings under governctent patron-
age and influence a board of office holders and
dependents who are ready at all Iirnes to do the
bidding of their master, and yield their sup-

port to his measures whether they are rightor
wroiig——thus giving strength to the executive,
anti the nieaiis of securing and perpetuating his
power. This is in open and direct opposition to
one ofthe most prominent articles ofthe Jeffer-_
sonian erecd. Let those who profess to be Jef-
fersouian democrats. and are moving heaven and
earth to secure the success of the sub-treasury
scheme, inform themselves with what zeal and
energy Jefferson sought to limit executive pow-
er-—liow earnestly he opposed the adoption of
the federal constitution, because in his view the
power it left in the hands ofthe government was
too unbounded, leaving too much to fear from

the strides ofau inordinate ambition. But there
is another feature of this system which is too
palpable to need any thing iriore than briefly to
be mentioned, for any one to see its objectiona-
ble character. The system proposes to open at

different points of the union, special offices for
