Paris Oct. 15.--A musket-shot was fired
at the king at six O'clock this evening, at the
. moment when his majesty was passing along
— the quay of the Tuillertes, onyhts ,return to
St. Cloud.
Neither the King nor any of the persons
by whom he was accompanied were hurt.
The assassin was arrested.
He avowed his crime.
The . name of the assassin is said to be
Darmes. He is from the south of France.
It would appear that his musket had been
overloaded, for it burst, and wounded him in
. the shoulder.
Darmes. when arrested, burst into a vio-
lent passion and exclaimed, ‘Cursed cara-
binnel ‘ I had taken a good aim, but I over-
loaded it.’ ’
To the first question which was addressed
to him, he at first replied, ‘ Conspirator.'
‘What is your profession ?'—-“An exter-
terminator of tyrants.’
‘ What could ‘have induced you to com-
mit so horrible a crime 3" -‘ I am not hired
conspirator. I followed the impulse of my
nature.’ -
‘ How long is it since you formed this res-
olution ?‘ About an hour since; I wished
to rid France of the greatest tyrant that she
ever produced f’
D-u-mco in U!‘ lotv stature ; he has ascowl-
ing and ferocious expression of countenance.
His bearing indicates most determined reso-
lutiorr. '
His wound is serious, and required medi-
cal assistance. ' It is asserted that it will be
necessary to amputate two or three of his
fingers. The pain of the wound was so in-
tense that he fainted.
AFFAIRS OF THE EAST.
On the 8th of September, M. Thiers ad-
dressed a note M.Guizot, thc.FrcnchAmbas-
sador in London, stating, officially, that Me-
hemet All had declared that he submitted
himself to the will of his august master—
that he accepted the hereditary possession of
Egypt, and submitted himself. in regard to
other territories actually in his occupation,
entirely to the magnanimity ofthe Sultan.
The offical organs of the French govern-
ment gavethe following news from Syria
and Egypt: . '
The government has received this day,
the despatches brought to Marseilles by the
last Levent packet, which left Alexandria
Sept. '26. It has not yet received those dates
Oct, 3, and which arrived the day before yes-
terday at Toulon. Those of the 25th con-
tain no new fact. They confirm what is
known, that is to say, that the Lebanon was
tranquil;that Mehemet Ali was re~est-tblish-
ed,and perfectly calm and resolute. No
news had been received from IbrahimPacba,
but it was known that he was concentrating
his forces. and thnthis plan was to surround
theTurkish camp formed at the north 0fBl-‘V-
rout. ‘ The coalesced fleet had cannonadéd
Scide and Kaiffa. The insurgents who had
presented themselves at the Turkish camp
were,according to the rumors in circulation
at‘Alexandria. some few peasmts at Kesro-
nan; but the mountains were tranquil, and
the Emit"Beschir constant in his fidelity to
the Viceroy. The Mussulmans. irritated at
the attempts of the Christians, caused anxie-
ty to the European merchants. It was said
that they were every where disposed to rise
in favor of Nehemet Ali. Important events
were expected every moment. Such was
the news which circulated on the 26th of
September, at Alexandria. 'l‘o-morrow or
the day after tomorrow. the government
will know the despatches ofthe 3d of-October,
,Proclamations are about to be issued, call-
ing all true believers to arms. Egypt is for-
tified from Camietta to the Marebout, and
60,000 men are collected at Alexandria. It
is stated with confidence that Méhemet Ali
has sent orders to his son to march against
Constantinople. Our agent at Beyroutis the
only ,-European who remainsthere‘; he in
general resides in the mountains, but has re-
‘turned to the town to write to us. H is letter
is dated Sept. 20 Soliman Pacha was still
master of-the town, upon which the Engiish
continuedto fire occasionally. Their small
camp at Giouni, three leagues from Beyrout,
was still in the same. state. The Egyptian
troops surrounded it. Zion is the only vil-
lage which hastakcn up arms for the Eng-
lish, but Ibrabazn Pasha has sent 152,000
men to destroy’ them.

A SEMINOLE TRAD.lTION.
BY .WA:HINGTON ravine.
-- Wheuthe Floridas were erected into 0
territory of the United States,.one of the‘
earliesticares of the Governor, William I’.
Duval, was directed to the instruction and
civilization ofthe natives. For this pl-HTPOSB
he called a meeting of the chiefs, in which
he informed them ofthe wish of their Great
Father at VVashington, that they should have
schools and teachers among them, and that
their children should be instructed like the
children of white men. The chiefs listened
with their customary silence and decorum to
a long speech, setting forth the advantages
that would accrue to them from this meas-
ure, and when he had concluded, begged the
«interval ofa day to deliberate on it.
On the following day, a solemn convoca-
was held, at which one of their chiefs ad-
dressed the Governor, in the name of all the
rest. _ “ My brother,” said he, “we have been
thinking over the proposition of our Great
Father at Washington to [send teachers and
set up schools atuong us. VVe. are very
thankful for the inter« st he takes in our wel-
fare; but after much deliberation, have con-
cluded to decline his offer. \Vhat will do
very well for white men, will not do very
well for red men. I know you white men
say we all come from the same father‘ and
mother, but you are mistaken. We have a
tradition handed down from our forefathers,
and we believe it, that the Great Spirit, when
he undertook to make man, made the black
man. it was his first attempt, and pretty well
for a begining: but he soon saw that he bun-
gled; so be determined to try his hand again.
He did so, and he made the red man. He
liked him much.better than he did the black
man, but still he was not exactly what he
wanted. So he tried once more, and made
the white rnan—and then he was satisfied.——
You see, therefore, that you were made last,
and that is the reason I call you my-young-
est brother.
When the Great'Spirit had made the three
men,he;callcd them together and showed them
three boxes. The first was filled with books,
and maps, and papers: the second with bows
and arrows, knives and tomahawks; the
third, with spades, axes. hoes, and hammers.
“ These, my sons,” said he, “ are the means
by whicn you are _to live; "choose among
them according to your fancy."
The white man being a favorite, had the
first choice. He passed by the box of work-
mg "tools, without notice; but when he came
to the weapons for war and hunting, he stop-
ped and looked hard at them. The red
man trembled for he had set his heart upon
that box. The white man, however, after
looking upon it for a moment, passed on, and
chose the box of books and papers. The
red man's turn came next, and you may be
sure be seized with joy upon the bows and
arrows and tomabawks. As to the black
tnan, he had no choice left, but to put up with
the box of tools.
From this it is clear that the Great Spirit
intended the white man should learn to
read and write; to understand all about the
moon and Stars; and to make every thing,
even rum and whiskey. That the red man
should be a first rate hunter, and a mighty
warrior, but he was not to learn any thing
about books, as the Great Spirit had not giv-
en him any; nor was he to uralre rum uor
whiskey, lest he should kill himself with
drinking. As to the black man, as he had
nothing but working tools, it was clear he
was to work for the white and red man,
which he has continued to do. _
IVe must go acco1"din‘g to the wishes of
the Great Spirit, or we shall get into trouble.
To know how to read and write is very good
for white men, but very bad for red men. It
makes white men better, but red men worse.
Some ofthe Creeks and Cherokees learnt to
road and write, and they are the greatest ras-
cals among all the Indians. They went on
to VVashington and said they were going to
seetheir Great'Fathcr, to talk about the good
of” the nation. And when they [got there,
they all wrote upon a little piece of paper,
without the nation at borne knowing any-
thing about it. And the firstthing the nation
at home knew of the matter, they were call-
ed together by the Indian agent, who show-
ed them a little piece of paper, which hetold
them was a. treaty, which their brothers had
made-. in their name. with their Great Father
at \Vashington. And ?'as they knew not
what a treaty was. he held up the little piece
of piper, and they looked under it, and lol it
(‘0\'cred it great extent of country, and they
found that their brethren. by knowing how
to read and write, had sold their houses, and
their lands, and the graves ofuieir fathers;
and that the white man, by knowing how
to read and write had gained them. - Tell
our Great Father at Washington, therefore,
that we are very sorry that we cannot re-
ceive teachers among us, for reading and
writing. though very good for white men, is
very bad for Indians.

MORE L.-\ST CA RDS l!
A most diabolical plot hasjust come to
light, which, fr.r daring villaiuy and utter
recklessness, has seldom been equalled. The
following letter, which was received in this
city yesterday morning, from Cincinnati,
discloses this wanton and shameless procee-
dure :
VVe have to-day received a slip from New
York, containing a forged letter in the name
of General’Harn'son, purporting to have
been written at Cincinnati, Oct. 2, 1840, in
reply to a circular received from Arthur
Tappan, J. Leavitt and H. Dresser, dated
New York, Sept. 21, 1830. It purports to
be published in the Emancipator, New York
October 8th, in which the editor is made to
say he shall in his next withdraw the name
of J. G. Birney for President, and insert
that of Gen. Harrison, in consequence of his
letter satisfying the abolitionists that he is a
good enough abolitionist for them. It is as-
certained that this letter and circular were
probably published at the office ofthe “New
Era.” in New York; and no doubt they
were intended for the Southern States ex-
clusively, and prehaps will not be known in
New York until heard from here.
VVe have seen a copy of a hand-bill issued
as is supposed frorn,-the oflice ofthe N. Era,
containing the forged correspondence, and
uouncing the whole a base forgery/.
pended to it is a letter from Mr. Art/mrTa.p-

Dear Sir-‘-I have furnished you with a

office of the Emancipator. of New York,
contaiuinga letter under the date ofthe 2lst
of September, directed to me and signed by
Arthur Tappan, J. Leavitt, and H. Dresser,
and an answer to the letter purporting to be

I have never in mylife received a letter
from the above named persons, either con-
junctively or individually; nor did I ever
address either the letter signed by my name,
or any other letter to them, or either of them.
The whole is a vile fabrication, tbtally des-
titute ofthe least foundation in truth. The
letter which inclosvd the hand-bill to me is
left in your possession. and it has the N, Y,
post mark upon it. and was opened this day
in the pres.-n'ce of E. P. Laugdon, the depu-

give the following specimen :— .
From Ohio we are also defiicient in news.
From some few of the counties we have re-
ports showing that in some places our friends
have done better than on the 13th: in others
about the same; but in all. it appears that
the abolitionists have very generally aban-
«found their own ticket. and supported the
Harrison ticket, with‘ the same zeal with
which they supported Corwiu. It is proba-
ble that not one abolitionist in twenty has
voted the regular Abolition ticket. It is too
late now to attain anypoliticalr-nd by stating
this. Theday has passerl. Ifthe democra-
cy of the North and ‘Vest have sacrificed.
themselves in the cause of the South, while
southern men have deserted their own cause,
and united with a mad and reckless faction
to overthrow the democracy of the North.
their natural allies are defenders of their
most vital interests, we can only regret and
deplore the fatal delusion, which we fear
will be but too soon fearfully and mournful-
ly dispelled.
We have done our duty, even ifour warn-
ings have not been heeded. IVe have fore-
told the danger to the peace and quiet, to the
safety and to the lives. ofour Southern breth-
ren. The campaign has seemed to us one
big with the fate of the Sothern members of
this Republic, one upon which the integrity
ofthe Union itself was suspended. Our mo-
fives, though sincere, may have been distrust-
ed. Our warnings may have passed uuheed-
ed. A fcwdays will determine the question.
If the allied opposition have triumphed, and
the country has been consigned over to the
powers of money. corruption,nnd fanaticism,
the day is not distant when our warnings
will fbe appreciated; when our southern
friends will be convinced, that in failing to
be true to the administration, they neglected
their dearest interests.
The above seems to us very much like
giving up the ship. Kendall has had all
the " excitement of composition” taken out of
him. He has crowed his last.

\Vc-ll. the lung struggle is over—the agony of
suspense has given way to a glorious certainty.
The most exciting election, probably, that this
country ever passed through, has about closed‘,
and the result satisfactorily known that General
WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON is elected
President of the United States. and JOHN
TYLER of Virginia, Vice President. To
show that this opinion is not premature and
without foundation, we annex the results which
have reached us. They are as follows : .
OHIO.—'I‘ho home of the old veteran has
spoken in a voice of thunder, and given him her
2[ electoral votes by a majority of 25,000.
NEVV-YORK.-—Tbere is no longer any
doubt oflbe-12 votes ofthe Empire State. The
Whigs have had much to contend with in the
shape of an unscrupulous and well-drilled
horde of office holders, prolific in every species
ofplnt and fraud. Her majority for Harrison
electors is. according to the Journal ofCom-
tneree, 11,502. _
PENNSYLVANIA.—The Key Stone, we
think we may prettysafcly put down for Harri-
son. The returns. according to the J. of Com-
merce show a Whig majority of nine votes.
They are ofiicial, with the exception of 4 coun-
ties. These counties, which are variously re-
ported, show in the Whig papers a majority of
I94 fortbe Harrison Electoral Ticket. Here
then are 30 more votes.
NEW JERSEY has chosed 8 Harrison elcc~
tors by a Majority of over 2000. The ‘broad
seal‘ members of congress, who were deprived
oflheir seats by the unholly union of Loco Fo-
coism and Calhoun nullificatiou, have again
‘been returned by a roported majority of 2.255.
MAINE has doubtless chosen the Harrison
Electors (10) by about 1,000. We have heard
