An historical fact of no common interest, the attempted assassination of Napoleon by Talleyrand, would appear to be established by the statement below, which we transcribe from the Courier des Etats Unis.
It will be remembered that the Marquis of Marbreuil has asserted that he had received from Mons. the Prince Talleyrand, in 1814, the commission to assassinate Napoleon. We read the following in the Gazette of France of the 29th of December.
Mons. the Marquis de Marbreuil summoned, on the 12th of this month, M. the Prince Talleyrand, grand chamberlain, before the justice of the peace of the first arrondissement of Paris, in order to obtain payment of the sum of 2,478,850 francs for damages and interest of losses sustained by him in consequence of the mission with which he was charged by the prince Talleyrand, as he avers, in 1814, when he was president of the Provisional Government. M. the Prince Talleyrand suffered judgment by default on the 16th current.
