Comstock, ar- rived at half-past five o’clock yesterday afternoon. She left Liverpool at half-past one o’clook on Saturday after- noon, the 6th instant. The news is one week later and important. It is stated that both the English and French govern- ments have received intelligence by the electric tele- graph from the Crimea, to the effect that the bombard- ment by the Allies had not met with such success as to | justify an assault. It is farther affirmed that the General com- manging the Frensh Artillery has written to the Emperor to th@® effect, that, having, according ito promise, kept up the bombardment for fourteen days, bis task was accomplished—that the Allies bad not reduced the place, and were not ina condition ito attempt the assault—that their guns, from protract- ed firing, were completely unservicesble—and that it only remsined for them to withdraw their troops in good order, and leave the guns, as old iron, in the possession af the enemy. It was admitted by Sir C. Wood, in the House of Com- mons, that a telegraphic despatch from Lord Raglan, lated Sunday, April 29, had been received by the govern- mt, aunouneing that the bombardmiént of Sebastopol vad been distontinued. Sir Charles, at the same time, intimated that it was xpected the fire would be resumed; and we leara com Paris that General Canrobert has forward- @ similar despatch to the French government. ‘The General, however, states that the fire was only sm porarily suepended, in order ahh exhaust ammu- ition, and for the purpoee of a ig fresh reinforce. nents which were about to arrive. It is stated that the Russians were reosiring provi- ons daily, and were constructing immense works te the andeast. Two Polish deserters announced that ere were 1€0,000 Russians in the vicinity of Sebasto- D1, and 60,000 had arrived from Simpheropol. It would sppear that further negotiations, with a view the establ'shment of peace, are likely to be set on In making a brief statement relative to the late rences, Lord Clarendon stated that although no tions with Russia wera at tne moment proceed. , till Austria was preparing to bring about farther tions. . His lordship added that at the conclusion of the last ymference, Count Buol expressly said that the means of iving at peace were not exbausted, and that it woald the special duty of Austria to endeavor to produce jose means to the Allied Powers, and that proposals jade to the members of the Conference were still under peassion His Lordship on being questioned as to the jurse likely to be ultimately pursued by Austria, de- ned haserding any opinion. We are informed that Prussia bas set on foo: rew pro- sitions. On Tuesday, May 1, Count Buol, Baron De urqueney, and Lord Westmoreland had s conference, id immediately aiterwards Count Buol had an audiense ‘the Emperor. ihe Paris Constitutionnel states that the Military Con- ation between France and Austria had been signed, 1 that ia all probability Austria will, in consequence, e the (eld earlier than was expected—possibly about » beginning of June. mm the other hand, « private letter frem Paris, dated it evening, says the convention has not yet been t will be seen from intelligeace which we publish else. jere that am attempt was made on the life of the Km- ‘he Emperor, accompanied by the Empress, subse- ntly visited the Opera Comique, and were most en- sinstically greeted.

Of the many extraordinary escapes the rulers of France have had from the knife or bullet of the assassin, the recent escape of the Nefoleon If, is not the Joast. The assassin ‘man of determination—one of Garabaldi’s daring at Rome—and he fired two shots almost point blank witbin a few yards of the Emperor. As I inclose you ample details, I need not dwell upon the fact. The man is an Italian, and it appears that he was at Lon- don during the Imperial visit—that he dodged him im the streets, but feared the crowd was too great to allow bim to perpetrate his crime. He then followed bi to Paris, and—failed. This desperate act not having succeeded, has almost turned his brain, and it has been found necessary to put him in a atraight-waistooat. Louis Nepoleon behaved with characteristic coolness, continued his ride, and went with the Express to the Opers Comique, as if nothing had happened. Wis popularity is now greater than ever andthe shot of the assassin has done him more good than harm, With considerable tact he has turned the whole affair to account. In his reply to the congratula- tions of the Senate, on his escape, he says, “That France need not be anxious, that Providence selects and shields certain existences, and that until their mission is fulfilled, the hand of the assacsin is powetless against them.” This isthe boldest declaration of fatatism he hes yet made. Tt is well he has escaped for the peace of the world: It is awful to contemplate wha} would have been the consequences of his death. Who would have ruled France? If Henri V. came tothe throne he would in all probability draw close to Russia, and the waverings of Austria would then be over, and she would abandon the Western Powers. The days of Louis Napoleou are truly valuable at the present moment. It is tras, a link of sympathy bas been formed between the people of France and England which any new ruler might fied it a difficult task to sever. That link has been cemented by blood shed in common, side by side, on the battle field, and the chances might be equally in favor of a Cavaig- Rac, or some other popular military chief, who would continue the alliance, ason that of s Legitimist or Or- leanist prince who would form a league with the de. fenders of Sebastopol. It is however a matter of serious consideration which Lleave to your own more experienced handling. As regards the second bombardment of Sebastopol—it continues. On the 28th April it was suspended for a short time to allow additional ammunition, guns, &c., to be brenght up. Since then it has been resumed, but people here begin to doubt of its success, Tt cannot, however, be denied that the Allies, have gained ground and are coritinuing to do ro. It is still, however, against the earth-works outside the regular fortifications of Se. bastopol. The Freach have successfully exploded three m'nes and blown down a great portion of the Flag- Staff bastion, and have occupied the excavation made by the explosion, which they have already turned into & fourth parallel; the English have stormed and taken two of the celebrated rifle pits of the Mamelon and silenced a great number of the Russian guns. As soon as the 15,000 Sardinians have arrived I believe a battle will be given to the Russians outside, under Liprandi; and then, if victorious, the allies will at- tempt to carry the place at the point of the bayon It will be a fearful affair when it does come off. squadron is drawn up in line of battle at the mouth of, the harbor, and, turn about, the ships shell the town every evening. From Prince Gortschakoif’s reports it is evident that the garrison suffer severely from the bom- bardment. The allies have lost eight or ten officers: lates ly, amongst others General Bizot, a very distiaguished French officer, and Colonel Egerton. Tke spirite of the besiegers are excellent. The French camp at Maslak is now 19,000 strong. It formsa reserve. A few cases of cholera had occurred there; also at Constantinople and Galata; but the cholera generally prevails more or less jn the East. It is also reported that the mission of the English and French envoys to Persia has failed, and that Russian influence is in the ascendant in that quarter, This would eorroborate the Pers ian news via India. Parliament had excited last week contiderable interest without gratifying public curiosity. Lord John, as you ‘are aware, bas resumed bis seat, and has been the od ject of all sorts of questions respecting his Vienna mis- sion, Both Lord John and Lord Palmerston shirked the question, and so did Lord Clarendon im the Lords. The papers and protocols would be presented when ready, in due time, &c. Last night, however, Lord Clarendon was driven into a corner. T informed you in my last that the telegraph was now open between London and Lord Reglan’s headquarters. The public are of course very anxious to hear what tal place daily. Various questions have been put to the government, which has now promised to publish avy “news Of interest which may not be advieable to keep te- cret. This reserve is quite necessary when it is called to mind that a Russianagent im London could immedi- ately telegraph it to St Petersburg, and so cn. Layard got a tremendous drubbing in the House of Commons the other night. He brought charges in his recent epeech at Liverpool against certain appointments in the army, which he attributed to influence in high quartere. He could not substantiate the charges, and erston and other members styled them fou) . He is a man of considerable pluck, is*Layarda, and he will doubtless return to the charge; but he ex- ceeds the hmits of prudence, and assumes a position as champion of the public interests to which he has no claim. Another interesting debate took place on the newspa- per stamp bill. Aclause to givea twenty four hours’ right of copyright to original intelligence published in newspapers was withdrawn without a decision, Disraeli made a very good speech on the occasion. Prom the Baltic there is as yet nothing deserving of particular mention. A few Russian merchantmen have been captured, and Admiral Dundas has broskfasted with the King. The White Sea is to be shortly blockaded. ‘There was rather a violent debate the other night ia the House of Commons on the Maynooth grant. The debate was adjourned. It was upon the motion to do away with the grant. Our Madrid Correspondence. Mapai, April 27, 1865. The Deficit of Ten Millions in the Spanish Treasury—Unpo- pularity of the Means Proposed to Supply It—The Pope’s Protest Against the New Mortmain Law—Spanish Troops Sor the Crimea—Outcry of the Spanish Press Against Mr. Sowlé. The commission named for the purpose of examining the estimates for the present year have moet, with the object of finding out the actual deficit in the treasury, which, it is calculated, will amount to over ten millions of dollars, as many sources have failed in consequence of the revolution, As to the means of covering this notable deficit, there existe some difference of opinion between the government and the Cortes, and even fo the latter assembly there are divers ways of looking at the ques- tion, Some think it may be made up with the prodact ot the receipts under the new law releasing from mort- main civil and ecclesiastical property, andothers bya tax of fifteen million dollars; butas thé Ministet of Fiaance bas repeated frequently that he did not wish to bur- then the people with more than what they are already paying, it is thought that if the tax is levied the popu- lar Minister will give up his portfolio. The Pope continues protesting sgainst the law of re- Jease from mor main, and refusing to admit of negotiations upon the Concordate, in which he refuses to change even one article. He does not want the release from mortmain, nor will he permit sales of church property other than those authorized by the ancient laws—as the Concordate expresses it—which, of course, will be com- pletely nultified if these sales take place, It has been ‘in Spain Row, as the geatry of to have it believed.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF NAPGLEON. The Particulars of the Attempt on the Life of the Emperor of the French—The Ent slasm of the People, (From the Paris Moniteur, April 29.] Yeeterday, about 5 o’clook, the Emperor was on horse- beck in the Champs Blyeées, socompar'ed by Count Edgar Ney, one of his aides de-camp; and Lieutenant- Colonel Valabzegues, chief equerry. On the eminence near the Chateau des Fleurs, a well dressed man approached within a few yards of the Em- peror, and fired # pistol at His Majesty. The Emperor was not hit, and, having saluted the persona in his im mediate vicinity, rode on at a foot pace to rejoin the se who was taking a drive in the Bois de Bou- ne, On their return their Majesties were greeted on all sides with the most enthusiastic acclamations. On arriving at the Tuileries, their Majesties found their Imperial Highnesses Prince Jerome Napoleon, Prince Napoleon. the other members ef their family, the ambassadors aod foreign ministers, the ministers of the Emperor, the grand officers, the ladies of houeel of their Msjesties, and a great number of other personages, who, informed of the event, had has- tened to the palace to congratulate their Majeaties.

[From the Paris Constitutionnel.) It was procleely at 10 minutes pnst 5, on the right side of the avenue near the Beaujon grounds, almost at the corner of the Rve Balzac, that a man was seen to advance from the side alley towards the Emperor; he had his band in the breast pocket of his palstot, as if be were about to take out a petition to it to his Majesty. This man was decently dressed; he appeared about 85 years of oge; he looked like an Italian, and, in fact, it has since been ascertained that heis one. hia man was armed with a double-barreled pistol of the length of a cavalry pistol, ana he fired twice, at a short interval between the two shots, The Emperor cast a look of profound disdain upon the sssassia, and, with his band waving off the pertons who hastened up to see that he was not wounded, and saluting them, he con- tinued his ride to rejoin the Empress, whose was a littls in advance, Meantime an agent attached to the person of the Em- peror, on [ei thd first report, rushed to the spot wheace it proceednd, and, armed with a dagger which he had with him, fell upon the assassin just as he fired his second shot. It appears that when he caught hold of him he wounded him with bis dagger, which led to 8 report that the assassin had attempted suicide. The aeeasein bad no dagger, but a revolver was found upon him, which he had no time to use. Surrounded by Sergens de Ville, who kept the curious atq@ distance, the man was taken to the guardhouse at Tigre de l’Etoile, occupied by » detachment of the 90 the line, Here he was searched, and by his pers it was proved that he was an Italian. Heis a pees of the name of Liverant, who embraced Protes- tanism'at Loncon, where he had emigrated after the taking of Rome by’ the French. He was dressed in an undersutt quite different from the first in form and color, so that if he had not been at once arrested he might easily have escaped. He was im- mediately handcuffed and taken Prefecture of Police in cab No. $86. On arriving at the guardhouse at the Palais de Justice, occupied by the Garde de Paris, it was found necessary to take bandages and lin} to bind up bis wound. ‘He had 100f, in gold in bis pocket, and the large double- ich he had fired, and which is a wea- barrelled pistol w pon of some vaine.

It is certain that it was owing only to accident that the Emperor bad two attendants with him on the day in question; and the details on that point, which are strict- ly accurate, are not without interest.

Indeed, everything indicates that we ure on the point of energetic operations. Whether we are about to ‘attempt an assault, or to. concentrate our forces sud- denly for an attack on the Russian army in the field, is rot yet bnown. The reconnaissance in force of Omer Pasba on the 11h certainly points to the latter, and its result might go some way to decide the allies in that Girection. It appears that, as many sagacious people pave loug suspected, the Russian force in our neighbor heed is very smell. Probably that force bas always been exaggerated. A few Cossacks, occup: s mound, or patrolling @ hill, a coHection. huts, and an occa line of camp fires, have often deceived our generals into the belief that s large Russian army was hovering in our rear. Every sound calculation pointed the other way, and it is now questioned by com- tent authorities whether the Russians have ever bud a undred thousand men atonce in the Crimea.
