MA.RLBRO'-STREET—( THIS DAY.)
William Richardson, a man of genteel exterior, was
brought up from Liverpool in custody of Mr. Murphy,
one of the Liverpool detective officers, and placed before
Mr. Bingham, charged with having committed forgery.
Mr. William Whittaker stated that he resided at West
Beal, Lincolnshire, and was a general shopkeeper. In
April, 1846, he completed the purchase of some
land at B Alin broke, and left the deeds relating to it in
the hands of Mr. Tbimbleby, solicitor, at Spilsby.
Witness never saw the prisoner before, and had
had no transactions with him. Oa Wednesday
last he came to London, and went to the office of the
Tontine Assurance Cimpany, in Pall-mall, in conse-
quence of an application made to him for payment of a
note of 1001. Witness there saw a promissory note for
100 L, purporting to bear his name, in favour of a Mr.
Richardson. Witness could swear he never signed that
note. - The signature was certainly something like his.
Witness also saw two memorandums of a deposit of
deeds, purporting to be signed by him. They were not
in his handwriting.

Mr. Thomas Thimbleby deposed that he was a solici-
tor, and resided at Spilsby, Lincolnshire. In April,
1846, the prosecutor left some deeds with him, and
amongst them a conveyance of some land at Boling-
broke. On the 7th inst. he looked for those deeds and
could not find them. On Tuesday week witness came to
London with the prosecutor, and went to the Tontine
Assurance Office, in Pall-mall, where he saw two ab-
stracts of three or four documents, purporting to bear
the signature of the prosecutor. They were forgeries.
From information they subsequently received, they
proceeded to Liverpool, where the prisoner was
apprehended.
Mr. Henry Murphy, detective officer, proved taking
the prisoner into custody at Liverpool on Monday night.
There not being any further evidence ready, the pri-
soner was !Trost-Wed till Thursday.

In the sitting of thFeßNAatiNonCalEAssembly yesterday,
in answer to a question by M. Sarrans, M. Drouyn
de Lhuys, Minister for Foreign Affairs, replied that
the Assembly had made known its intentions with
regard to Rome; that an envoy had been sent to that
capital and the French head-quarters; that he was the
bearer of the resolution of the Assembly, and was
ordered to conform to it. As respected Hungary, the
gravity of events had attracted the serious attention
of the Government. It had addressed remon-
strances on the subject to the Cabinets of Lon-
don, Vienna, Berlin, and St. Petersburgh. He re-
gretted his inability to give the Assembly further
explanations. If M. Sarrans could devise other
measures, he requested him to indicate them, and if
any member was anxious for war he should assume
the responsibility of that calamity by making it the
object of a formal proposition. M. Guichard next
spoke, after which M. Joly rose and said, that it was
o
impossible the Assembly could be satisfied with the
explanations given by the Minister for Foreign
Affairs. The latter, he maintained, should
be compelled to lay on the table the
replies returned to his communications by
nthicon provedgnCabinets. I
the foreign
withufosrei thoser were commu-
nications m u
atit resful t, o
un-
favourably received, France should adopt energetic
measures. For his part, he preferred war to the de-
gradation of his country and the destruction of its
liberties. He then called on the Government to re-
cognize and protect the Roman Republic instead of
attacking it, to form an alliance with nations, and
break off all connexion with Kings. In conclusion, he
proposed the following order of the day :—" The Na-
tional Assembly, considering that the manifesto of the
Emperor of Russia, and the treaties concluded
between Russia, Austria, and Prussia, are an attempt
against the principle of the public law proclaimed by
the French Constitution, and ratified by the vote of
the National Assembly, protests, in the name of the
French people against that new coalition which
menaces the liberties of Europe, and enjoins the
Government to adopt immediately the most
energetic measures to enforce respect for the
principle of the independence and nationality
of the Roman Republic." M. Manguin, who
followed, observed, that, although the speech
of M. Joly contained many sentiments he concurred
in, he should vote against it, because he believed that
an expiring Assembly could not adopt so important
a resolution. M. Vaulabelle replied that the Conven-
tion at its last sitting had voted the incorporation of the
Duchy of Bouillon with France, the establishment of
the Institute, of the Polytechnic School, of the Court
of Cassation, &c. General Cavaignac next rose and
said that he would vote against the order of the day,
but was afraid its non-adoption should be misinter-
preted in the country. He had voted against
the expedition, because he did not wish Rome to be
attacked. He thought France should respect the
Roman Republic, without, however, being obliged to
support it. It should not be said that the Assembly
was indifferent to the danger which menaced the
country. That danger came from Russia, whose atti-
tude, and the recent manifesto of the Emperor, com-
pletely altered the situation of affairs in Europe, and
the course of foreign policy to be pursued by France.
He trusted that M. Joly would accordingly con-
sent to modify his resolution. M. Joly acquiesced
in the demand of the General, suppressed the para-
graph relative to the Roman Republic, and proposed
that the measures to be adopted by the Government
should have for their object to enforce respect for the
principle of the independence of nations generally.

General Cavaignac replied that the resolution, as
modified by M. Joly, would still amount to a declara-
tion of war, emanating from the Sovereign Consti-
tuent Assembly, and suggested the expediency of its
being worded in less explicit terms.
This being agreed to, General Cavaignac, M. Joly,
and others withdrew to one of the Bureaux to prepare
a new draft of the resolutions, and the sitting was
suspended. Shortly before post hour the General re-
ascended the tribune, and read the resolution
he had prepared. It was to this effect :—" The
National Assembly directs the serious attention of
the Government to the events and movements of
troops now taking place in Europe, and pre- oocupied
with the dangers which menace the country, it calls
on the Government to adopt the measures necessary
for its energetic protection." M. Joly found that
resolution too weak, and persisted in its former order
of the day.
I. Odilon Barrot next rose and combated both
resolutions.

The Siecle says :—" A report waq current last
evening that a demonstration was to be made to-day,
calling upon the National Assembly to grant an am-
nesty. Every demonstration is a danger and a snare ;
an abuse of numbers, a provocation to the employ-
ment of force. Let us, therefore, hope that the Go-
vernment will be sufficiently wise and moderate,
without sacrificing anything that the preservation of
public tranquillity may require, to place completely
in the wrong the promoters and instruments of the
proposed demonstration."
We read in the National:—" A report is in circu-
lation that a manifestation is to take place to-day in
favour of the amnesty. Any demonstration of the
kind at this time could only serve interests hostile to
the Republic. We have sufficient confidence in the
gcod sense and patriotism of the people, to affirm that
it will not give to reaction the pretext of which it is in
need, and which it has sought in vain since the 29th
of January last."
