Letters from Berlin, of July 28th, add little to the

account of the re- cent attack on the King. It seems, however, that he was actually hit- " Both belle grazed the stomach ; but were, most providentially, turned aside by the folds of his Majesty's travelling-cloak and sword-belt. The first of the balls passed through the carriage-window ; and must have killed the Queen, were it not that the latter was at the instant engaged reading a peti- tion, (and consequently in a bent posture,) which had been presented to her a moment before by a poor woman."

The Morning Post says that this "poor woman" was the assassin's daughter.

Berlin was illuminated on the evening of the 27th, to celebrate the Monarch's escape.
