Amothcw (making the fourth) attempt t. Assassinate tus Kma New Infernal Ma CHIXZ.
On Saturday Feb. 19, at 5 A. M. the po
lice having cognizance of the nefarious intentions of a person named Champion, sent his commissary Vassal and others, to his domicil, roe de .'hotel de Ville, No. 38, to make the necessary examinations. Champion exhibited much trepidation, but the agents of the
police proceeded immediately to their business. In an obscure corner of the garret they found an Infernal Machine, half com
pleted, which was Irom 7 to 3 inches in
width, four in depth, with three rows of
drawers, containing 3 distinct compartments. On the first were to be placed seven small cannon pistols, directed horizontally; and in the second, six, with an oblique direction to tbe right; and in the third, six with a tike direction left. The mode of using it, as explained by Champion was to erect a battery,
and communicate with it by cord, and whereby trains of powder were to be set off suc
cessively so as to explode each range of pis
tols, commencing wun ine nrst ine pisiois
also go oil separately. Champion confessed his intention to destroy with it, if possible, the life of the King, lie said his plan was to place the machine in a small hand cart filled with furniture as if in the act of moving - - m a
it. The machine was to De placed at the height of 5 or C feet, and to be covered with a matrass. The cart was then to bo placed on the road to Nouilly, near where the King
usually passed. Champion was then conducted to the Per
fecture, where during the morning, he ex
pressed his regret of not accomplishing his purpose. Shortly after the guard had cone
out of his cell, Champion suspended himself!
bv his cravat to a bar ol the window. He
had got on to his bed and then pushing it suddenly' from him, caused his death immediately, lie had, for several days before been repeatedly drunk, saying he would soon go to the Place St Jaques, the place ot executions. He had been suspected during the trial ol
PolignaCf&c. It is supposed he has accomplices. Some have been arretted, among
others bis mistress, named Saget, and a fencing master named Janvier. The first intimation that the authorities had of Champion's design was 15 days before, in an anonymous letter, the clue to which they ferried out. The would be assassin was a locksmith.

MADISON, INDIANA. Tbe following cheering account of Madison, in
this state, will be read with considerable pleasure by such of our citizens as are not immediately ac
quainted with the proroertv of Madison. We vis-

contain a population of more than 15C0,now it ex-jlat'er

respect the regularly and deiioerateiy ex
pressed opinions of more than two-thirds of
the members of hoth houses of Congress. I derive my information from an authentic source, and I give it to you with the assurance that it may be entirely relied upo. The Treasury Circular has been the subject of consideration at no less than three Cabinet Councils; and the result is, that Mr. Vak Burkn has determined that he will persist in
this pernicious policr, he will not repeal
nor rescind, nor modify the order, nor carry
into effect the provisions of the Currency
Bill a bill which was carried triumphantly
through both branches of Congress, and de
feated by the arbitrary will ot l'resident
Jackson. Messrs. Forstth, Poiksktt, and
DicxBRsoit were in favor ot the repeal and so was Levi Woodburi ! Do not wonder at
the approbation of the last mentioned per
sonage; for the u suing ot the Circular in July last was not his act; but that of Gen. Jace-
soN,of whom, as was the present Chiel Jus
tice on another occasion, he was merely the
instrument and tool. Mr. Kutlkr opposed
the repeal and so did Amos Kendall, for
you must know that those friends of the Ad
ministration who were flattering themselves
with the idea that this scheming demagogue
was not to belong to the Cabinet proper,
have been deceived he did attend the Councils of Mr. Van Buken and nlong with Mr
Butlkr stood out for the Treasury Order.
The President, sided with these two against
foch others! But let it not thence be inferr

Tbe Grippe, designated a'so as Contagious Ca

aclerized by extreme langour, head ache, pains in
tbe limbs, fever, cold in the head, and the general
symptoms of bronchial catairn. I bis auection is
never serious in itself, and generally goes off from the fourth so the tenth day, by the aid of perspirations more or less profue. The most charac

of the langour and the cough, for a lunger or
shorter period, after the disappearance of tlie other symptoms. This epidemic prevailed the year 1733,
