ATTEMPT TO AssAssISATE MoNARcH-A let
ter from Berlin gives the following interesting
particulars of the recent attempt to assasainate
the King of Russia, and the subsequent proceed.
iDgs:


The sentence passed upon TscEsch has caused
the government great embarrassment. The e1ecu-
ZION of This man, even by simple decapitation with
out the horrors of breaking upon the wheel, being
considered impoiiic the ministers have caused daily
applications to be made to the convict 10 induce
him TO petition for Communication OF his punish
men or at least 10 lodge an appeal before the royal
court Tschech however, obstinately refuse 10 do
either, SAYING You may do what you will with
nv body, but defy you TO bend the resolution ol
my soul" The question Of an appeal ex.oficio has
been discussed in council, and there are technical
obstacles which render it impossible. The story oI
the project of transporting this man TO an English
penal COLONY has been formally contradicted by The
government. The king himself is determined that
Tscbech shall not be executed, saying that he will
never suffer blood tc bs shed for an offence which
was exclusively personal against himself; and at a
council held OF the ID instant, on the minister e
Justice announcing that Tschech still persisted III
refusing 10 appeal his majesty declared that rather
than put him 10 death, he would grant him free
pardon.


This being demonstrated against by the ministers
as dangerous measure, tending te encourage



Tschech, his majesty replied, swell then, know
that, if cannot hnd other means OF disposipg ot
this man, | shall find myself reduced 10 do what
Bernadotte did Ten years ago" The following is
lhe circumstance 10 which the king OF Prussia al
luded:- aftenblad, or evening Journal OF Stock
holm, published an article wrirIen and signed by
H. Lindeman one OF It's editors, formerly captain
of infantry, but now director of the Second Thea
tre and even so far 10 accuse them OF pecu-
larion AS this theatre was directly under the su-
perinterdence Of the king himself the article was
considered as personal libel upon his majesty.
Lndelnan tired before the royal court OF Swe-
dsn found guilty., and sentenced 10 death. He, like
Tschech, peI,inaciousy refused 10 make any appli-
cation tor pardon or commuialoD. his prison
doors were left open, with intimatiou that If be
would make his escape, ne would not be pursued.
But he replied that he would never dishsuor hi5
name by base and cowardly fight. A pardonable
maneuvre was ut last tried.


His approaching exec uIion was formally announ-
eed TO him for the afternoon of the day, and
priest WAS Introduced 10 prepare him for death. Still
he remained nheIible and with ell devotedness re-
csved the consultations of religion offered 10 him
and calmly awaited his fate. This last means c
bending the spirit OF this impeneuable man having
failed the king wilh the unanimous consent OF his
ministers, granted general amnesty 10 ali political
prisoners, in which category Lindemarn stood. In
virtue OF this act, Lndcmsnn was SET al liberty Al
that time there were only Two other political con.
victs and they both officers Of the army, who
were condemned, In default of appearance 10 take
their trial twenty years before and had during all
that time lived as refugees in Prussia and Austria
The publication Of this amnesty cost the state up
ward OF 100000 t1 dollars 1850 0G0f;) for, accord
ins to the laws OF Sweden il Is required be made
in the kingdom, by the heraids, mounted in full
costume, attended by band of musicians, else
mou7ted, and escorted by strong detachments Of
cavalry.
