It has been ascertained that the name of the man
who attempted to assassinate Louis Plume is FIESCHI. not GIRARD; and that he is a Corsican, not a Frenchman, by birth. The Constitutionnel says that " He belonged to the Guard of Murat when King of Naples, and joined in the expedition in which that Prince fell. On his return to Corsica, he was oendeinned, for stealing a cow, to ten years' imprisonment. In 1830, he succeeded, it is not known how, in getting himself inscribed on the list of those condemned under the Restoration for political offences. The Chamber had voted pensions for all these; and Fieschi received his until the end of 1834, when the falsification was discovered, the pension stopped, and he himself obliged to fly. Since 1830, he has been a domestic in the service of M. Caunes, Inspector of the Waters of Paris. He was recognized by M. Oliver Dufresne, Inspector. Generalof Prisons; by M. Ladvocat, Colonel of the 12th Legion of the National Guard ; and by many others. The discovery was made by M. Dufresne, who had just recovered from the effects of a fall, and made his first visit on Friday to the prison. Fieschi was somewhat annoyed at being recognized, but did not refuse to own that he knew these gentlemen."
Another account states, that he was so much alarmed and enraged by the discovery of his real name, that he tore off the bandages from his wounds, and is again in great danger. No discovery of his accomplices has yet been made. ARMAND CARREL and the other journalists who were arrested have been restored to liberty; there not being the slightest ground for suspecting them of being in the remotest degree connected with the crime of FIESCHI.
There was a full attendance of Deputies in the Chamber on Tuesday; and after a preliminary speech by the Duke DE BaooLIE, the Minister of Justice proposed a bill, the object of which, he said, was to crush by severe penalties the party that sought the overthrow of the Constitutional Government. If persecution of the press could give security to the throne of Louis PHILIP, that object would be obtained by the bill in question ; the provisions of which are tyrannical in the extreme. The following brief abstract of some of its clauses will show its character.
Article I. Any one found guilty of an offence against the person of the King, to be punished with imprisonment, and fine of from 400/. 2000/. Art. 2. For ridiculing the person or authority of the King, from six months to five years in person, fine 20/. to 4001., with loss of all civil rights. Art. 3. For mentioning or alluding to the name of the King in any political disquisition, imprisonment from one month to a year, and a tine of from 20/. to 2001.
Art. 4. To reflect in writing upon the form and principle of the King's Go. vernment, is high treason ; to be punished by detention (unlimited), and a fine of from 400/. to 2000/.
Art. 5. Whoso shall avow himself a Republican, or suggest that the Government ought to assume that form, to be imprisoned from six months to five years, and fined from 20/. to 400/.
Art. 6. Similar denunciation to the letter against all who shall call themselves Carlista, or profess Carlist views of government. Art. 7. A journal convicted twice, to be fined doubly, and even four times the amount for every succeeding offence.
Art. 8. Any editor opening subscriptions to pay off a fine, to be imprisoned for that offence from one month to one year, and fined from 201. to 200!. Art. 9. Forbids publishing the names of jurors, either before or after political trials.
Art. 14. No political daricature whatever to be published in Paris, without the previous consent of the Minister of the Interior, or in the provinces without that of the Prefect; fine from 4/. to 40/. and imprisonment. Art. 15 and 16. Political representations at the theatres are proscribed under severe penalties.
The remaining articles, to 21, are of a technical nature; and may be generally described as giving the Law Officers of the Crown some advantages over the defendants, and circumscribing the right of appeal to the Court of Cessation.
In addition to this, for the purpose of more easily obtaining convictions, the verdict of a bare majority of the Jury, instead of two thirds, is to he received; and the votes of the jurors are to be given secretly, by ballot. Such are the measures which are now deemed necessary for the preservation of the "Throne of the Barricades'—" the bet of Republics." No other proof is wanting of the dangerous ground oh which it rests. Louis PHILIP dares not trust the French. Ile believes that a caricature in a print-shop, or an article in a *rind, may incite them to rebellion. He has become a suspicious
rant; and may expect the fate of one, despite his precautions. Bills authorizing the payment of a pension of 400/. a year to the widow of Marshal MORTIER, and of smaller pensions to the widows and children of other persons killed by the " infernal machine," were also introduced on Tuesday, by the Minister of War.
LAFITTE visited the King within a day or two after the attempted assassination, to congratulate him on his escape; awl, it is said, was received with apparent cordiality hir tits old friend ; the Queen, and the Duke of ORLEANS were abletellpeallibly gracious.
