The Pole who shot at the Czar is, it appears,

the son of a pianist, who strictly warned him not to engage in revolutionary projects. He had worked in Paris as a gunsmith, received an allowance of 1/. 12s. a month from the French Government, and seems to have been actuated by a fanatic idea of relieving Poland from an oppressor. It is said that the Czar has requested the Emperor to spare his life, but this is improbable, as the Russian who made the same attempt last year in St. Petersburg was not spared. It is believed that the first consequence of the attempt will be the final incorporation of Poland into Russia as an integral portion of the Empire. The Czar has offered a pension to the equerry whose horse saved him, and the Czarina has presented him with diamonds worth 12,0001.
