LETTERS FROM PARIS . [ Fuom oun own OonnroHroNDENT . ] I Lbttiik LXXX . I ' arin , ThurHday Evening , July 7 , 1853 . NtVPiii-No in tnlkoa of ull over Pnm but an attempt , alleged to lmvo taken phice on Monday hint , to curry off or Hill Itouupwto . It wna known that ho who to
be present that day at the opening of the Opera Comique . He went with the Empress , attended only by a picket of cuirassiers . The boulevards were filled wifcli'a multitude , attracted thither partly by curiosity , partly , by . the weather , twbiph , was that day superb . Suddenly , about half-past nine , the crowd was seen to be in great commotion ; serjents de ville and gendarmes ran to and fro , giving and receiving orders ; and all thoroughfare on the Boulevards desltaliens , as far as the Qhaussee d'Antin , was prohibited . Everybody was then in a bustle to know what was the matter . It
was ascertained that some fifteen men had just been arrested as they were about to assail Bonaparte . Some say the conspirators were captured-within the theatre ; the attention of the police haying been called to them by the noise of a pistol which one of them let fall . Others say they were taken outside , just at the moment of Bonaparte ' s arrival , and that they were suspected to be conspirators by a policeman , who heard them shout Five I'Empereur louder than the rest of the crowd . According to the information I have been able to collect , the truth of the matter is quite different . There is in the Rue Marivaux a small private door by which Bonaparte makes bis entrance to the Opera Comique . This fact being known , three persons posted
themselves by the private door . Three serjents de ville ordered them to withdraw ; they did not comply , and the serjents laid hands on them ; but some fifteen other persons came up , as if to see what was doing , and rescued the first three prisoners , but were themselves surrounded and captured by a reinforcement of about a score of policemen . It is alleged that they were all armed . During the tumult three other persons slipped through the private door into the passage leading to Bonaparte ' s box , and were there caught and arrested . Immediately after this- three full squadrons of cuirassiers , " guides , " and municipal guards-, took post round the theatre "; and when Bonaparte came out , they encompassed his carriage in very compact order , and escorted him to St . Cloud . This event has caused a
great ferment all over Paris . The Government gave orders to the journals from the first not to publish any details , and itself drew up the following paragraph , and had it inserted in the Patrie : — " This evening , among the orowd at the doors of the Opera Comique , where the Emperor and the Empress were present , the police arrested ten or twelve persons , belonging to old secret societies , who tried to make a disturbance . The case is in judicial hands . "
It is evident from the insignificance of this paragraph that the Government is afraid of alarming the good bourgeois o Paris if it gave more details . The Bourse , indeed , has been in a considerable fright . All the jobbers asked themselves what would become of them if an attempt on Bonaparte ' s life were successful ; and to judge from the scared faces of most of them it may be presumed that they were very uneasy as to the future . They "Were all eager for particulars respecting the affair . One of them exhibited , to all who desired
to see it , a pistol which he stated ho had picked up on the very scene of the occurrence . People weary themselves with conjectures as to the scope of the affair , and as to what party it proceeded from . The police does not sleep over the matter . According to its views it was the secret societies , consequently the Republicans , that originated the attempt . But thinking men look further . I have met many persons who believe that Russia is no stranger to the nflhir . For a month past indeed everybody lias been disgusted by the endless intrigues and efforts of pecuniary corruption practised by that power among the population of
Paris—journals and journalists bought over , gold scattered profusely among nil classes , down to that of the workmen ; public functionaries suborned , stock -jobbers and brokers gained over , &c . &c . —nothing has been left untried . Just now you meet , go whero you will , people who assure you of the honourable , and nbovo all the pacific , intentions of tljo Emperor Nicholas . It is not , therefore , impossible that to fulfil his threat ( you recollect that letters from St . Petersburg announced that ho would certainly find means to separate England nnd France ) ho may have tried , by an ill-contrived show of a conspiracy , to show England how little dependence sho should place upon an order of things which a
dagger stroke , or a pistol shot , would bo enough to demolish . England ban now an opportunity of Hcoing what a vast danger sho would incur in entering upon a war in which si jo might nt any moment bo left to ntnnd ulono in consequence of a revolution effected in Ernnce . As for franco herself , it is the interest of Russia to terrify the I ' m uncial world , which now roignu nnd governs under tho name of Bonaparte , nnd deter it from engaging in war to-day , with tho prospect boforo it of a revolution to-morrow . All this is possible ; Htill it is only conjeefmro . If Russia nvnils herself of tho Into occurrence to work upon tho fours of tho English pcoplo nnd their Government , and show thorn how littlo trust
they can put in the French alliance , the conjecture will then acquire a high degree of probability . Meanwhile Russia triumphs over the whole league . In the teeth of England , and France she has entered Moido-Wallaehia , caring . no more for what those degenerate Powers may say than if they had no existence . The Czar Nicholas has taken exact measure of his ground ; he has seen that the government of the two countries is in the hands of moneyed men . He knows that moneyed men , who care very little about honour , but a great deal about net profit and loss , would at once calcnlate the expenses of a war , and comparing
them with the results , would conclude that they ought to have nothing to do with it . On this basis he haa speculated and acted . He now knows that the traders of both countries are afraid of war . Knowing that , he will go great lengths . He will go in the first place to Constantinople ; then , by way of giving those gentlemen a lesson in logic , a science with Which they are not very familiar , he will go thence to Paris , and next to London . It is my belief that it will not take Russia ten years from the present time to expunge France and England from the map of the world !* Many worthy people endeavour to blind themselves as to the
consequences of the dastardy that has just been committed . Like people who , when they have been kicked , console themselves by saying , " It was not a blow ; I need not take any further notice of it ; " France and England , which have acquiesced in the crossing of the Pruth , will acquiesce also in the crossing of the Danube . Once on the path of cowardice there is no stopping till you tumble headlong into the slough of ignominy . There are people , then , who believe that negotiations are about to be resumed . Nevertheless the manifesto of the Emperor Nicholas very distinctly says , No . It declares that negotiations can
bear only on one point , the complete submission of Turkey , and its unrestricted adhesion to the proposed ultimatum . Now , that point cannot be yielded by the Sultan , who would thereby expose himself to be hurled from his throne by a revolution . Nay more : the manifesto declares pointedly that if Turkey does not yield , " calling God to his aid , the Emperor Nicholas will commit to Him [ that is to his sword ] the decision of the quarrel , and that full of hope in the all-mighty hand of the Most High , be will march to defend the orthodox faith . " One must be blind or a trader not to understand language so clear . Diplomacy may
intervene as much as it pleases , " Russia is on its march to Constantinople ; it is nut protocols that will stop it . And see the cleverness of Russian policy . It has just obtained a declaration of neutrality on tho part of Prussia , of Austria , and of all Germany , so that the armies of Prance and England are henceforth separated from Russia by the whole breadth of the continent , and can be of no use to save Constantinople . As for the two fleets , I have already shown that they might annihilate the Russian fleet and burn Sebastopol , but not stop the march of the Russian army . The danger istherefore a thousandfold more pressing to-day than yesterday . What has happened with regard to they
Pruth will now be repeated as to the Danube . Aslong as the latter is not crossed , good folks will still go on dreaming of peace ; nothing but the taking of Constantinople , with tho consequences thereof which I have predicted , will open their eyes . There is only one chance of our escaping that shame , namely , should it turn ont that Turkey , on hearing of the passage of tho Pruth , immediately despatched the French and English fleets against the Russian fleet , nnd thereby irremediably begin tho war . After tho first cannon shots wcro fired there would bo no help for it , fight tho two parties must . Now , everything authorizes usin believin g that Turkey will abstain in her moderation from pushing matters to extremities .
I ho passage of tho Pruth has been hailed , on the Paris Bourse by a rise of 1 franc GO cents ,, tho greatest , rise that has taken place for a long time . In justice ,, howovor , to our inouoyed men , it must be stated , thai ; the Independence Jialge , of that day , made known in Paris , tho news , that nt n mooting of tho English Privy Council ,. hcldon > Snturdny , itwii 8 resolved that tho English Government would not make a casus hel . U of tho entrance of the Russians info the principalities ; but that it would
propose to Turkey to accept tho Russian ultimatum , under the sanction nnd with the intervention of the four grout Poworn . f Tho Paris Bourse concluded from this nows , thai , tho passage of the Prnth , far from beingregarded with alarm , ought , on tho contrary , to be considered a highly reassuring fact . Reassured , therefore , it wuh , and up wont prices ; subsequently , what with the conspiracy , and tho result of second thoughts , , thoyhnvo gone down again . M . do Kisselofl'luiH
