ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON.

Saturday se’nnight the Emperor visited the Italian Opera.

As the carriage of the Dames d’Honneur arrived at the door- way, a man on the trottoir discharged two small pistols at the

eafriage. No one was injured! ‘The Emperor was in another |

carriage. The assassin was immediately arrested. His name is Bellemarre, a native of Rouen, aged 22. When he was 16 he was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment for swindling. At the expiration of two months the Emperor (then President of the Republic) commuted his sentence. He pretends to have afterwards taken an active part in the event of the 2d of De- cember, to have fought behind one ef the barricades of the Rue Rambutean, At that time placards haying in large char- acters * Motiyes for the condemnation to Death of Louis Na- yoleon’ were seized by the police. During the examination 3ellemarre declared himself to be the author of those placards.

He was sentenced by default to two years’ imprisonment, and

was transferred to Belle Isle. Since he left prison, in Febru- ary last, he lived at Paris wader a fulse name, and had accept- ed an appointinent as clerk to M. Jeanne, constable. He had taken up a position of the entrance of the Rue Marsollier, on
