ATTEMPTS ON THE CZAR'S LIFE.
fßr Rlkotbio Tklbobaph—uopyrku t J {PUR PBBSS AsSOGUTIOH.) ST. PETERSBURG, Mat 80. The Czar and Czarina have arrived at Moscow to attend the French Erhibition, notwithstanding that three days before it opened four large boxes of dynamite had been discovered. The Customs Department of the Exhibition allowed the boxes to pass the French and Russian frontiers unopened, as they believed them to contain exhibits of machinery. It is rumored that a mine has been discovered leading from the residence of the Governor of Moscow across the road along which the Czar would proceed to the exhibition, also that a Becond mine bad been found under the railway line. Extraordinary precautions were taken against an attempt on His Majesty's life, and even the triumphal arches were dismantled in the search for explosives. A feeling of terror exists in Moscow, and the owners of all houses commanding a yiew of the BQuare where the Cjsar proposes to review the troops have been ordered to close their windows.
