Yet we are threatened with the displea- sure of Russia if we adopt such action as is mani- festly advisable.

M. Oliivier was, indeed, opposed to the Emperor leaving the Tult- eies on Sunday, even for a short time, and the most active surveillance has been kept up inall quarters of the capttal, a8, although ft ts known that there are hundreds of bombs in existence, but fow of that namber have as yet been found by the police. At twelve o'clock on Sunday M, Pietri, the Prefet of Police, went to the Tuileries and advised his Majesty to go out for a short time in orderto give ce nfldence to the well disposed, The Prime Minister objected, fearing that some attempt on the life of the Chief of the State might be attempted; but M. Pietrt replied, “I have made my arrangements, every precaution has been taken anil I will answer for the safety of the Emperor, Let his Majesty go, but for a short tme only.” The Emperor's personal courage 13 admitted by al!, and he acted oa M, Pletri's advice. There was not only a large force of police along the Champs Elysées, but 600 agents in plain clothes, who were distributed throughout the route taken by his Majesty, Considerabie excitement Was occasioned on tue race course by the arrest of & fashionably dressed gentleman who arrived on a facre, On descending from hts carriage he was mmediately pounced upon by a covey of police, thrown down, gagged, and, in spite of his furlous resistance, bundied tuto another carriage in waiting and driven off at a rapid rate. The fashionably dressed individual turns out, after all, to be no po- litical pierate, but an unfortunate Britisher, as mad a8 a hatter, absent without leave from a mad house, CAMILLE BEAURY, the man who was to have performed the “surgical operation” on his Majesty (not Bourle, as his name was at first spel)led, is a young man of respectable family and has recetyed a good education. He was arrested by M. Lagrange, the Chief of the Political Police, who, with two agents, had been on his track for three days. On the morning of his arrest he was followed by the agents in an open cartiage, he being im an . open one, having visited the Faubourg St. Antoime and the Quartier Belleville. His coachman drove at a very rapid rate and took a ciremtous route, He knew that he was pursued. Inthe Rue des Moulins he descended, and, casting an anxious glance around him, direcied his steps to the house where it was known his portmantean had been left. M. Lagrange jumped out of his carriage, weat straight up to Beaury and 1d, “How are you Caml'le?” The latter replied, ‘1 do not recol'ect you. Who are your” The two ageits had crept Stealtaily behind him; they set-ed bs hands, and M, Lagrange said, ‘I arrest you in the name of the law; Tam Lagrange, Commissary of Polic.’” Beaury Was sareiied 1 the street and the articles referred to in my iast found upon him, Besides the letter from Floureas was a copy of one to that wo.thy in the handwr:ting of the prisoner, demand. ing money and saying that “The amputation w.il take place on the evening of the 29th. I am ready."’ Another important arrest, aitended with exc fing circumstances, was efle ted on Sunday morn ng. The barrister engaged for the defence of Mégy, named Protot, lives inthe Rue de braqie. In cot uence of revelat'ons made by Beaury, M. Beraler, the Juge @ Instruction, ordered his arrest. At seven o'clock M. Clement, Commissary of Police, proceeded to the house with two agents, and snowed M. Protot his warrant, The latter made no res'stance and smijed complacently when the police officers searched his apartment. At last M. Clement laid his hands on the large black leather envelope for carry nz papers, ed a serviette, which all hommes d'autres in Paris delight to carry. No sooner, however, did Monsieur le Commissan'e take possession of it than Prot_t rushed at him, snatched the servtette from his hand, dashed out of the room ana slammed the door alter him. Blank were the faces of the representa. tives of the law. They could not tor a moment bring their astonished brains to a focus. The key was on the inside of the door, so that the potice agents wire enabled to let themsetves out of the room, Protot, however, was well away, bounding down the staircase at- high pressure. The Commissaire only caught a glimpse of his coat tall, and feeling that his prisoner would escare, fired his pistol in the Mice ESE 1d the de sired effect of bringiag all the Viiv unwer ee mt at th ms took part with Protot, ‘The 'vonchtwe, WiWever, hearing the report of firearms, closed the door of the house; a scume ensucd, but the Commissary of Poltce and his agents sucereded in securing the r prisoner, on whom letters ot great importance were found, Which prove that Mégy was cognizant of the proposed assaasipation of the Emperor, ‘The man who was arrested on the Boulevard de Belleville, but rescued by the roughs, 13 named Roussel, by trade a cabinet maker. He lives ina wretened street, with a splendid gutter in the centre for the filth from the houses. “he Rue des Cendr ers can lay claim to no relationship with the magnifi- ceat str ets with which the world ts accustomed to associate the name of Paris.

His wife (real or imitatioa 18 not decided) was at the theatre with hor son when informed that the police had put in an appearance, She rewurned home and found ever;thing “topsy-turvy.” She declares that sie did not know there were any bombs in the nous. ‘Tne bombs were made at the workshop of M. Lepet, 38 Rue St. Maur. His attention was attracted by the woolcut of the bombs in the Figaro last Sunday night, when indulging in the daugerous but azreea- ble pracuce of reading in bed. He jumped dressed himself and staited off to the Comn sary of Police, to whom he stated that on the 14th of April & man called with a mogel of the bom‘s, which he said were naves for the wheels of & velocipede he had invented, and which would make his fortuue in Amertci. He ordered 120 at first, and afterward the work to con- tinue without intermission, Bg subsequently catied seven times at fhe workshop. . It isan ill wiad that blows nobody good, The strike has probably saviad @ terribie disaster, for o.ierwise, ere this, 400 bombs would have been delivered instead of twenty-two, which numter alone, for want of hands. M. Depet ‘was enabled to complete. It13 stated that one bomb was destroyed at an experiment made by the conspirators in a wood near Paris. The description of the man who ca.led at Lepet's workshop coincides with that of Roussel. Madame Roussel has been arrested also. In her house has since been found a wooden pestle and moz- tar, bearing marks of having been recently used for tne preparation of the explosive powder. Many arrests have been made, I saw one man the evening before last, respectably dressed, but with a hangdog coun- tenauce, taken by the police. He was a minor light, so his name is not worth publishing. The Emperor’s partisans of the timid class are fearful that should the resuit of the voting on tne $th inst. be unsatis- factory His Majesty will again assume the reins of personal power. I can positively state that nothing ts farther from the Emperor's mind than any idea ot the sort. Olivier is now hits sole confidant, Rouherts not in favor; he seidom or ever goes to tne Tulleres. He left a few day’s since for the provinees. Before going he said toa friend, “The government 1s in a difflcuity; the Emperor ani tho Ministers can get ont of it as best they may. I shall give no advice, Lam off. Now Jam enapied to assure yon that “the Emperor has made up bis mind as to the course he tntends to adopt, He has personaly declared that, no matier ‘What may bethe result of the plebiscite, he is not only determmed to consolidate the liberiies already given, but to increase them as far as practicable.”’ While I think of it, let me contradict a statement made by many journals to the effect that the Empe- Tor intended to give M. Olivier the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor at one “fell swoop’ without the necessity of passing through the other grades, This version is untrue, The act was simply that the Em- eror oflered to decorate M. Olliviex, who peremp- jorlly refused the honor. The Bombs—Their Make and Delivery. ‘The Paris journals of May 4 continued to accumu- late particulars connected with the plot on tie Em- peror’s life, but very littie more was really discov. ered. One fact of interest had, however, come to light, namely, that the bombs were manufactured in Paris, The Journal Oficiel gives a short account ot the matter, but we prefer the following sfatement of the Patrie, which says:— The maker of the bombs is now known. M. Lepet, ifronfouncler of the Rue St. Maur, having seen a draw ing of these shells in a journal, came forward spon- taneously to give some important information to jus- tice. On April 14 an individual called on him and ordered some castings of a form exactly like that of the a seized, ie that they were intended for improvement in the nuts of | wheels for veloctpedes, which would probably ded that he had already made a very advan ous contract with America for his discovery. He or- dered at first 150, and promised to come short'y for a st po supply. On the 16th and on the 19th the founder delivéred twenty-two. Only twenty-one have been found, but it is known that an experi- ment was made with the other, which circumstance expiains the disappearance of oue of the number. Had not the strike of the workmen intervened the order would have been execuied and the full com- plement delivered up, In any case the details above RS refute the insinuations of the irreconcilable journals, which represent the plot as an invention of the police, How M., Protot Was Arrested=The “Surgical Operation.” In the Paris journais of May 3 the following de- tails are given of tue arrest of M, Protot, who 13 an make the fortune of the inventor.

The Queen of Kugland, the King o: Prussia and the Emperor of Russ.a have sent congratmations to the Emperor Napoicon expressing satisfaction at the fatiure of the recent plot to assassinate him, Public Opinion in England. (From the London Times, May 4.) The alleged couspiracy against the life of the Em- peror Napo.eon 18, undeniably, @ serious matier, whatever view one may ieel tempted to take of in ‘The mst striking circumsiguoe COnneéciéd wih the incident is its opportuneness, as calculated to serve the interests of the exalted personage the plot was intended to injure. Tne arrest of the would-be murderer, Baurie or Beaury, occurred ten days ve- fore the date appointed tor the plebiscite— jast in time to allow the sensation sure > arise from such intell.gence to reach the remotest country parish in France and the most isolated m.U- tary post in Agevia. The people in France enter- tala as dec.de| & horror of political assassination as ourselves, and, whatever tay be their fee.ings t)- wards the Emperor's person or thelr convictions as to his rule, the immense majority of them never look upon the contingency of their preseat sover- eign’a death, be it natural or violeat, wituout shud- dering apprehensions of what may follow. Lain We wish it were in our power to refute the assertion of some by no means irreconcilable opponents of the imperial government, who remiud us that precisely nmeteen years ago, on the eve of another pleviscute, another plot of an infernal ma- chine was said to have been brouglt to light at Mar- sellies, where the President was at the time, and aiter the plebiscite no mention was ever made elther of the machine or of Gallard, the machine man. We are perfectly sure that the Emperor Napoleon and his constitution of 1870 need not be recommended to the peopiv’s suf- frage by such stratagems as are supposed to have determined the acceptance of Louis Bonaparte and of the constitution of 1851; but from that very con- viction we inier that the present government will appreciate the importance of setting itself mght with es opinion, and allow no hold to the ma- evolence of its adversaries, Already one of the most honorable organs of French opinion has Pressed upon the authorities the necess:ty of “al.owing no doubt to exist a3 to the reaity ot this plot.” It insists on the publication of decisive documents and peremptory proof, “such publi- cation to be made before the voting of next Sunday.’”’ Unquestionably the advice is sound and the request most reasonable. Still we would not venture to expect that a solution of all doubts may be arrived at within ao short a pertod. It is enongh, we think, if the with this matter in ail fairness and good faitn—if it proceeds with all the diligence compauble with the pubile safety and the ends of justice. Ali depends upon the fact of the alleged plot being dropped aiter answering its supposed purpose—on the prosecution of Baurie and of his possibie accomplices being or not being quashed and hushed up, as that of Gaillard and of his famous infernal machine is said to have been. If the government has not been too hasty in its conclusions, Lf it has not suffered itself to be vatn- ly disquieted by rash avowals, false denunciations, and deceptive appearances, we are compeiled to the Conclusion that some uncommonly atrocious attempt was contemplated; tbat a vast as well as a deep conspiracy bas been detected, that some of its threads at last and some of the chief actors in itare in thegovernment’s hands. It is matter of st Cone cern for the honor of that government, for the welfare of France and for the true interests of her Soveret and his dynasty that such @ conspiracy should not allowed to “vanish into thin alr;” that the guiltof any persons implicated in it should be as promptly and as satisfactorily established as may practicable, and thatthe punishment suould be not Only adequate to the enormity of the offence, but also. to the distrust and uneasiness and demoralization tt has created, to the discredit it his enabled the ill-will of ungenerous adversaries to throw upon the govern- ment. The Emperor's government has in this case its own character to vindicate besides the outraged majesty of the law. ‘Tho Expelled Italian Financier—His Revenge.

The Perils of “Riding on @ Rail’—The Greon- wich Street Gridiron Lowering Its Car Tracks—Coming Down toa “Dead Level Miraculous Escapes. An accident occurred yesterday afternoon, at a quarter past three, on the Greenwich street elevated railroad, which might have been attended with fatal consequences, but which, owing to a miraculous. interposition of fate, was but trifing in its effect. It seems that the’ directors of this novel scheme were Gesirous of testing the speed and’ strength of the road, and for thispurpose had loaded a freight car with ten tons of pig tron, and proceeding up town at 8 good rate of ‘speed came to Houston street, where the propelling rope tor the lower section south of that street terminates. The propulsive power 1s then taken up again by another ‘endicss” rope, and by the impetus given just up to the street the cars generally cross the span without fresh power. A sharp curve occurs on the southeast corner, and the passenger car, contuining about fifteen people, passed over safely enough; but the freight car, with tts heavy load of iron, was too much strain on the span of about eighty feet, and it was precipitated On the street, draggtag with it the pas- senger car. This lacklly alighted “plumb” o1 its wheels, only two of the occupants sustaining in- juries, and those of a slight nature. Tne persons injured were Josoph H. Morrill, of No. 474 Third ave- nue, and Thomas Fiyn, of No, 418 East Tenth street, employés of the company, who walked home without assistance. Frank MoKenna, track masier, who was riding on the freight car at the time, was not so for- tunate, having sustained such severe injury as to re- quire his being carried to his residence. The track for a distance of 175 feet was torn down, shattering & lamppost, destroying the drum around which the rope revolves, and breaking or bending tho trans verse arms of tie pillars which support the track. In consequence of the extreme heat of th? sun, mot of the pedestrians were at the time passing on the west side of the street, wacre there was shade, con.o- ently no acculeat happened, espec.aily as the train fell outward from the buildings within a few feet of the horse track, and consequently not impeding travel. One. of tho most miraculous escapes of this curious chapter of catastropies was that of Peter Reid, of No, 135 West Twenty-cighih gteet, driver and owner of a grocery wagon, who ‘Was under the span when the track commenced to give way, but the pigh spirited Ncrse taking Iright ‘at the nolse bounded forward just in time to save its ‘master from stant death, as the falling car almost grazed his back and completely demolished the ‘wagon, scattering the eggs and groceries. Some ice cairiers were on 6 Opposite. sido of the street and narrowly escaped destruction. Tue machinery of thi experimental road is very complicated, and tn order to understand the ac- cident an explanation ts necessary of its mcthod of working. The track is Supposed, by tron co.umns, which branch at the top. Underneath this ihee is an endless chain, with projections placed at intervals. When this chain is running these jrolections strike underneath the car against a “chuck,” aad thus the car is driven forwa:d. Several disconnected stat-on- ary engines at intervals along the Ine drive these endless chains, and jost at this point the car was papsing fiom one to. the other. The span of chat feet across Houston astrect was attemp! to be run without any fresh propulsion, An acute curve, a8 before mentioned, occurs at tits pomt, and the slacking of speed over @ wide spin. probably with 9 view of tesitug it, oc- casioned the result, Which convinced the di.ectors, by making tne elevated crs surface ones, tiet the of this part of the line was not up to their expeciations, Dr. Unde hill, wno was one of the fifieen pessoaters or this gr.vitating conveyance, is a atockholder, and no doubt felt cheerful over the re- suit 0! atiempting to,cirry ten 10.8 of pig iron over an eighty fvo.sp n.

Goicouria's Statement—Account of His Capture— His Companions Not Captured—Report of the Captain General— Fight Near Mansanillo. Havana, May 11, 1870, The reports in reference to Goicouria’s statement of the insurrection are very pumerous and contradic tory, According to the OMctal accounts he pro- nounced the cause lost, and that having seen the true Conditton of affairs he had determined to withdraw altogether therefrom and take up his resideuce ta Mexico, Other accounts, however, represent him as expreasing himself hopefully and declaring the Fevolutigg atil! strong. In conversation with the Spanish officer who had him tn charge after hia con dempation no stated that after they were compelied to return to shore pursued by vie poats his com- pamons all deserted him, ieaving him only @ bottle of water.

Finally, coming upon a abandoned hut, he deter mined to lay down and sleep, though aware that the locallty Would be, aptito actract the attention of his pursuers, In this he was correct, a8 he was found there, He entreated his captors Lo shoot bim atonce, but they declined, stating that such were Dot their orders. He had nothing to complain of im the treatment he had received. The oMfcers of the army and navy with whom he had come tn contact had extended him every courtesy. He stated thas, he bad passed his Ite in endeavoring to bring about the independence of his naming # and in hts old age be was wWiiling to lay down his life ior ber sake, According to the Ofictal Gazeje he stated that he had with him the b.others Aguero, an Engilsh major from Canada, Dr, Mendoza «and two mariners from Nassau, all well armed.
