In the letter of our Paris correspondent will be found ample details of the attempt on the life of Louis Phillippe. That monarch never stood so high in the opinion of the French people, and this monstrous effort to shoot him in cold blood has elicited much warm and generous sympathy.
The first of May was the anniversary of the King's fete day, when addresses of congratulation were presented from several public bodies; among them the Corps Diplomatique, headed by the Apostolic Nuncio, tendered their acknowledgments, and in their address alluded to the "sixth miracle" which had marred the aim of the cowardly parricide. The Chamber of Peers and the Chamber of Deputies were also warm in their compliments, and exuberant in their loyalty.
The attempt on the life of Louis Philippe seems to have made that monarch more estimable than ever in the minds of his countrymen.
