handing an explanation for certain injurious

The surviving parties, (Bonaparte and Fon-
yeille,) do not agree in fixing the RESPONSE
bility Of the FIRST assault
The murder Of Noir created great excite
ment in the Assembly. At the sitting of the
Corps Logisatif, on Tuesday, it was proposed
that the members Of the imperial family be
rendered amenable to law Henri Rocholort
referred in bitter terms the murder Of NOR.
He said Noir was one of the people, aud the
people should judge his murderer, who though
cousin to the Emperor must not be allowed
to escape Olivier in reply promised that
they should have justice, and used these
words d" We are justice, law, moderation
If you force us, we will be power" A COM
municaton from the imperial attorney was
laid before the chamber, demanding the ar
raignment of Deputy Henri Rochefort for
outrage against the emperor and for exciting
disorder and violence The demand was re-
ferred to a committee

Government, expecting demonstration, made
extensive preparations to preserve order, and
