==== The {{lang|it|Fieschi|italic=no}} {{lang|fr|attentat}} (28 July 1835) ==== [[File:Attentat de Fieschi - 28.07.1835 - 2 (Eugène Lami).jpg|thumb|350px|''{{lang|fr|Attentat de Fieschi|italic=unset}}, on 28 July 1835''. By {{lang|fr|[[Eugène Lami]]|italic=no}}, 1845. {{lang|fr|[[Château de Versailles]]|italic=no}}.]] [[File:Machine infernale.JPG|thumb|The weapon built and used by {{lang|it|Fieschi|italic=no}}, [[Musée des Archives Nationales]] (2012)]] Against their hopes, the trial finally turned to the Republicans' disadvantage, by giving them a radical image which reminded the public opinion of the excesses of [[Jacobinism]] and frightened the bourgeois. The [[Giuseppe Marco Fieschi#Attempted assassination of Louis Philippe I|{{lang|it|Fieschi|italic=no|nocat=y}} {{lang|fr|attentat|nocat=y}}]] of July 1835, which took place on Paris during a review of the National Guard by {{lang|fr|Louis-Philippe|italic=no}} for the commemorations of the July Revolution, further scared the notables. On the {{lang|fr|[[Boulevard du Temple]]|italic=no}}, near the {{lang|fr|[[Place de la République]]|italic=no}}, a [[volley gun]] composed of 25 gun barrels mounted on a wooden frame was fired on the king from the upstairs window of a house. The King was only slightly injured, while his sons, Ferdinand Philippe, Duke of Orléans, [[Prince Louis, Duke of Nemours]] and {{lang|fr|[[François d'Orléans, prince de Joinville]]|italic=no}}, escaped unharmed. However, Marshal Mortier and ten other persons were killed, while tens were injured (among which seven died in the following days). The conspirators, the adventurer {{lang|it|[[Giuseppe Fieschi]]|italic=no}} and two Republicans ({{lang|fr|Pierre Morey|italic=no}} and {{lang|fr|Théodore Pépin|italic=no}}) members of the [[Society of Human Rights]], were arrested in September 1835. Judged before the Court of Peers, they were [[capital punishment in France|sentenced to death]] and [[guillotine]]d on 19 February 1836.
