The Paris papers supply few additional particulars respecting the assassination

plot. It is now said that GIRARD'S wounds are not dan- gerous. The only words he had spoken were a request for a pinch of snuff.

The Peers have been formed into a special court for trying the pri- soners ; and GIRARD will undergo an examination as soon as be can be moved with safety. The number killed and wounded, according to the latest statement, is thirty-four ; of whom sixteen were killed on the spot, or have since died.

The Messager des Chanibres says—" Girard was a workman in the employment of a dealer in second-band goods of all kinds in the Hue Grenetate, and was more particularly engaged in cleaning and repairing old fire-arms. He was not what may strictly be called a journeyman mechanician, but was a very able and skilful workman. The nature of his occupation allowed him to procure gun-barrels, and thus construct the frightful instrument which has caused so many deaths. He was known among his companions to entertain Legitimatist opinions, and it was even believed that he received a pension from the Dutchess of Angouleme."
