This place- of amusement, • newly fitted up, and pointed, was opened for the first ( lime par ordre , and the opera of‘Hay dec* was to bo i performed for tho occasion. Tha theatre was filled I frorp pit to dome, and as 1 had a scoured scat, I had' I been lounging till the last moment on the chairs i placed on tho Boulevard, opposite the theatre, Walt- ) ing for the hour of cohimcncemcnt. I had just or- j ,riycd on the Opora;Oomiquo, when the police officers | wailing on duty the arrival of the Emperor, roado a rush, and the imperial carriage arrived in front of tho houflo'. There was a considerable number of' persona around tho house, and many men in blue blouses, appearing to bo workmen of the lowest class, were to ba observed in the first rank of the crowd, just by the theatre. As soon as Louis Napoleon alighted from the carriage a shout ottered by about twenty persons, and similar .to (he singing of a night ; owl, woo hoard by (ho people, who were looking in silence at the arrlvaPof (ho Chief of Stale, arid im mediately about, forty men armed with pistols and daggers (counfeaux poignard?,) all now and bright, - oo if they had just been from (he hands of the maker, i made a rush towards Louis shouting: *A , mart le tyrant !* Fortunately Tor the Emperor, there ; wore around him a large posse of French policamen. j who had sufficient strength to throw down about 15 ( men among the conspirators, and to secure tho life of Louts Napoleon, who, as well as tho Empress, did not show the least fear, but entered (he theatre alow* ly, coolly smiting to tho mapager and his staff of employees, who were shouting *• Vivele Empereur !" with tho most energetic voices.

These desperadoes were then searched by the ser gens de tille, andtlrertf were seven among them who were armed with ' pistols, daiiblo*barrotlcd, perfectly loaded, and the seven others with Urge bowio knives. They all refused to speak, or reveal their projects, and despite all (ho exertions of (ho Commiseario do Police they kept their utmost silence, opposing ho resistance td tho grasp of (he police officers end to their search.
