The celebration of the anniversary of the Three Days of

July commenced in Paris on Monday last; and on that day nothing remarkable occurred—all passed off well. But on Tuesday, the French capital was alarmed by an attempt to assassinate the King; -which had very nearly proved successful, and which actually caused the death of Marshal MORTIER, Duke of Treviso, and several other persons. Very ample particulars of this murderous affair are given in the Paris journals, and in the French cor- respondence of the daily papers.

It appears that on Tuesday morning about nine o'clock, the King left the Tuileries ; and, accompanied by the Duke of ORLEANS, and a numerous and brilliant Staff, consisting of all the Field Marshals and General Officers then in Paris, proceeded along the Rue Rivoli, and the Place Vendome, to the Boulevard at the head of the Rue de la Paix, where he reviewed a body of' troops formed in a line to the left along the Boulevard. About eleven o'clock, he returned to the head of the Rue de la Paix, and then proceeded along the line to the right. He arrived at the Boulevard du Temple, opposite the Theatres, at twelve o'clock ; when suddenly a great explosion, resembling irregular platoon- firing, was heard. A shower of bullets fell among the cortege that surrounded the King : Marshal MORTIER fell, and expired wit hou t a word,—splashing TRIERS, who rode next to him, with his blood; several other officers also fell from their horses, being either killed or wounded; a bullet grazed the arm of the King, whose horse was shot in the neck ; the Duke DE BROGLIE received a bullet in the collar of his coat ; Marshal MOLITORS horse was killed under him. The bodies of the slain and wounded were con- veyed to the Cale Tore, opposite the scene of bloodshed; and pre- sently smoke was seen to issue from the third story of a house on the Boulevard, of a hick the first and second floors were occupied by PARAULT, a wine-dealer. Each story consists of one room, lighted by a single window. Upon entering this house, a man was seen slipping down a rope, with the evident intention of escaping by the back way ; and was immediately secured by the Police. The seems were then examined; and in the third story was dis- covered the "infernal machine" which had been used by the assassin, and which is thus described- " It was made with great skill, of wood, with iron braces, and extremely solid. Two uprights supported two cross bars of wood, placed parallel to the window ; and in thew were formed groves, in which were laid twenty-five gun-barrels. The front cross-bar, placed at about a font from the window, which was darkened by blinds, was rather lower than that behind, so that the balls might reach the body of a man on horseback in the middle of the Boulevard. The charge was so heavy that five out of the twenty-five barrels had burst, notwith- standing they were very substantial and new. All the barrels were discharged at the same moment, by a train of gunpowder running to the touchholes."

By the explosion of these barrels, the assassin was severely wounded in the forehead, neck, and lip; so that he could not arti- culate. His name is AUGUsTE GIRARD, or RICHARD; he is about forty years of age, and a mechanician by trade. He admitted his crime; but denied, by signs, that he had any accom- plices; though two hats were found in his room, and it is said a man was seized when running from the premises. The following list of the persons who were killed has been pub- lished— " Marshal Mortier, Duke de Treviso, struck in the heart by a ball ; General de Lachasse de Verigny, snuck on the forehead by a ball ;* Captain Villate, Aide-de camp to Marshal Maison; Lieutenant-Colonel Rieu-sec, of the 8th Legion, Houck by three balls; Memos. Prudhomme, Ricard, Leger, and Eenetter, grenadiers of the 8th Legion."

Besides these, a Colonel, two citizens, a woman and a child, were also killed, but their names are not given: in all thirteen were de t toyed. The number of wounded is eighteen.

In the early east of the day, the King was rather gloomily received, and his own appearance was not cheerful: indeed, it is said to have been ascertained that an attempt was to be made on his life—though from what quarter, was a mystery ; and lie wore a steel cuirass as a guard. But after the murderous attempt had been made, he was t nthusiastically cheered; cries of " Vive le Roi !" and " A bas les assassms!" resounding from all quarters. The Kieg displayed considerable firmness and presence of mind, although his physiognomy for some time after was Yen ghastly.

"1Ie hael been urged to terminate the review, and return to the Palace im- imediately urea the attempt ',Mug made ; but though deeply affected by the scene

he had witnessed, and the loss of an old and stfacted friend, hismolt:a% would ) not geelsitt him to yield to the suggestion, whieil =it have been liable to tbe min.-one/auction of malevolence. Numbers of the nal Guard quitted the ranks, mid, mingling among the Staff.ofIcera in the cortege, surrounded the King with anxious inquiries us to his safety, the frail' tfh this head having been greatly increased by his horse.plunging at the moment of the explosion. His Majesty replied, No, I am not hurt, my horse only is hurt ; but my poor comrade has been less fortunate.' In saying these words, his Majesty po nted with visible emotion to the brave old Marshal. extended on the earth, and breathing his last. An officer who had received him in his arms was covered with his blood. The animal on which the King rode was in fact wounded in the neck and on the ear ; and his Majesty received a bruise in the left arm, which he felt with his right hand, and turning to Colonel Delarue, said, • It nothing.' The three Princes also displayed remarkable presence of mind. The Queen received the intelligence of the attempt at the Hotel of the Minister of Justice, where she was, with the Princess, awaiting the King in the Place Vendome. They remained until the conclusion of the review ; when the Royal party and his Majesty returned to the Palace of the Tuileries, about five o'clock. During the whole of the afternoon and evening, crowds flocked, out of curiosity, to the melancholy spot ; in consequence of which, a strong de- tachment of Municipal Guards was stationed there to keep the peace."

It is mentioned that Madame MORTIER was especially anxious that her husband should not attend the review, fearing the con- sequences of heat and fatigue; but he said,' in allusion to the pre- velem reports of projected attempts on the King's life, " No, no; I must go; for I am tall, and may perhaps cover the King." In the evening, the King and Queen, who had been receiving con- gratulations from thousands of visiters, left the Tuileries, and paid a visit of condolence to Madame MORTIER; they afterwards returned to a grand dinner, at which two hundred guests sat down in the gallery of Diana. After dinner, the King held a Council of Ministers; and thus concluded the eventful day.

The Moniteur contains the following proclamation, adopted at the Council.

" FRENCHMEN !—The National Guard and the Army are in mourning; French families are in a state of desolation ; my heart has been rent by a frightful spectacle. An old warrior, an old friend, who had been spared by the rites of a hundred battles, has fallen at my side, from blows which assassins destined for IIIP. In order to reach my person, they did not hesitate to sacrifice glory, honour, patriotism, peaceable citizens, women and children; and Paris has seen the blood of the best Frenchmen shed on the same spot, and the same day on which, five years ago, it flowed for the maintenance of the laws of the country ! Those whom we have now to regret have fallen in the same cause. Again, it is the Constitutional Monarchy, the freedom of the laws, the honour of the nation, the safety of families, the welfare of all, that are once more threatened by my enemies and yours. Brit the public grief, which answers to mine, is at once a homage ()Weird to the noble victims, and a forcible testimony of the union between France and her King. My Government knows its duties, and will fulfil them. However, let the fetes, which were intended to celebrate the last of these days, give place to ceremonies more in conformity with the sentiments with which our minds are impressed ; let all due honours he rendered to the memory of those whom the country has just lost ; and let those veils of mourning which yesterday shrowded the tricoloured flag, again be put over this faithful emblem oral' the sentiments of this country.

" Given at the Palace of the Tuileries, this 2Sth July 1835.

" Louis Plume. " The President of the Councif,S Minister for Foreign Athirst, " V. BROGUE."

This proclamation is followed by a Royal ordonnance of the same date, to the following effect-

. " The fetes for the celebration of the anniversary of July 1830 shall not he continued. A solemn funeral service shall be performed, in honour of the victims of the attempt of this day."

Most of the shops were shut on Wednesday : it was intended that the funeral ceremonies should take place yesterday. It is uncertain whether GIRARD or RICHARD, the assassin, will reco- ver: the agony from his wound is said to be intense.

It is believed that the Government mean to take advantage of this affair to adopt severe measures, and that the press is to be coerced and persecuted with more rigour than ever. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Chronicle says- " The most fearful consequences of this diabolical plot are yet to come. I regret to have to announce to you, that the French Government has resolved to take advantage of the panic, and to strike a blow—against what think you? —against the Press ! As if the press or publicity could have produced a crime, which they were best calculated to prevent. It is determined, nevertheless, I learn, to summon such Deputies as are in or near Paris, and through them pass a vote and strike a blow against the press. " In order to cover this, or perhaps (for I will not decide) upon real suspis coons, several editors of the Republican pleas have been taken, and put an secret. The editors of the National are said to be of the number ; I have not time to ascertain the truth of this. [It has since been ascertained that Armand Carrel is among those arrested.] Raspail, of the Rtformatenr, had gone to Nantes: the Police have gone after him. They found in his papers a long list of stu- dents and young men." The newspapers of all parties have expressed their utter abhor- rence of the attempt at assassination, and their joy at the safety of the King. In this all but ruffians and fanatics will concur; but Louts PHILIP, if he is wise, will not mistake the feeling which prevails with respect to the nature of the attack from which lie has just escaped, for approbation of his government or attach- ment to his person. Unless he change his system he can never be secure, and would do well to wear his cuirass night and day. There are but few, perhaps, among his subjects whose exaspera- tion would prompt them to assassinate him; but there are not wanting some who may follow GIRARDS example. The King has trampled on the rights of his pe lie is felt to be a more relentless and formidable foe to liberty of speech and action than his predecessor, who was dethroned for tyranny. He has done his best to produce that state of public feeling which generates assas- sins of tyrants among violent and desperate men. Even now, he is preparing to oppress the journalists, as if they were answerable for the plot against his life,—in ignorance or forgetfulness of the feet, that when indignation or animosity is sqffered to have .sent through the press, it seeks not to explode through it.fernal ma- chines. To seek for safety in such measures as Louis PHILIP has recently adopted towards his malecontent subjects, and which it seems be is prepared to persevere in, argues a miserable lack of judgment, and is one of the worst symptoms of the state of affairs among our neighbours. All his precautions may yet fail him. A King of the French, who relies upon any thing except the at- tachment of his people, holds his crown and life by a most preca- rious tenure.
