Fottr political refugees, from Geneve, who entered France on the sth of December, and assassinated a gendarme who attempted to arrest them, have been sentenced by court-martial, at Lyons, one to hard labour for life, one for twenty years, and one to death. One was acquitted. The senior member of the Senate is M Thibau demi born in March, 1765, ex-member of the Con vention. The reception of Count de Montalembert at the French Academy is to take place on Thursday next, February sth, at two in the afternoon. The committee of dramatic authors was received on Wednesday by M. de Persigny. The object of this interview was to submit to the Minister various ob servations on the present state of dramatic art, and on the situation of the theatres, particularly in what con cerna•the tax for the poor, which presses so heavily on theatrical u ndertakings. The Minister replied that their 'observations should be taken by bim into serious consideration, and that he should be happy to aid in restoring the former prosperity of the theatres, so ma terially injured during the last two years. The following are the official prices fixed by the Minister of War for horses and other quadrupeds for the service of the army :—Horses for the reserve, 800 F. ; for the line, 550 f. ; for the light cavalry, 550 f.; ditto fey Africa, 350 f.; for artillery and waggon train, 650 f. ; draught horses, 550 f. ; trained horses for the military schools, 1,000 f.; officers' horses, 900 f. ; mules, 500 F. ; donkeys, 200 f. ; camels and dromedaries, 200 f. The Monileur announces that the electric telegraph line between Paris and Chalon-sur• Soane is now com plete, and that dispatches may be transmitted by it. The receipts of the Orleans and Bordeaux Railroad Company, for the week ending the 19th inst., amount to 104,414 f., being an increase of 36,9971. as com pared with the corresponding period of the year 1851. GERMANY. The Prussian Staats Anzeiger of the 28th pub lishes the new regulations designed to secure the more efficiekt action of the landwehr, by incorporating the active, forces of that body in the brigades and squadrons of the regular army. In the sitting of the First Chamber at Munich on the 244th, the Bill on the press was voted, as well as a Bill empowering the Crown to name the president of that Chamber. The debates on the war budget in the Second Bavarian Chamber have for the last few days been very animated. Allusions to the Rhine, and to General St. Arnaud's circular have been frequent, and M. von der Pfordten's patriotism has led him to express himself very warmly on the du t y of omit ting no measures for guarding its sacred banks. A portion of the Opposition, forem ost in which was Prince Wallerstein, ridiculed all apprehension of danger from France. In the heat of debate M. von Lassaulx supported the Government estimates, and stated °bat he did so the more readily, as the States of Germany must be prepared for the eventualities, since the political power in France bad been seized by a " freebooter." The French Minister made a formal remonstrance to th e Presi dent of the Ministry, M. von d e r Pf or dt en , aga i ns t the application of such an expression by a deputy of the Chambers, to the chief of the F renc h G overnmen t. In the sitting of the 24'h, M. von der Pfordten ex pressed his regret that M. von Lassaulx should have used so injurious a term; had he heard it he should have requested that the Hon. Deputy be called to order. The President of the Chamber also stated that he had not heard the word, a declaration the Chamber received with loud laughter. THE ORLEANS PROPERTY. The following Protest has be published in the Independance, a Belgian paper, as no French jour nal would be permitted to reproduce such a docu ment THE TESTAMENTARY EXECUTORS OF THE LATE KING LOUIS PHILIPPE TO THE PRINCE PRESIDENT OF, THE REPUBLIC. " The testamentary executors of the late King Louis Philippe deem it their imperative duty to protest against the decree of the 223 of January, 1852, relative to the property of the House of Orleans. That decree over turns, from top to bottom, not only the testaments which they were appointed to execute, but also all the civil contracts which have regulated and fixed the position and the rights of the various members of that august house. They come forward, therefore, apart from all political ,prepossessions, to appeal to the justice of the Prince ?resident of the French Republic, and to point out the errors in law on which the second decree entirely rests. Unless these errors are recognised and corrected they will inflict a blow the most serious upon the sacred rights of the property of that family. " In order to destroy the donation of the 7th August, 1830, rind to hand over to the public the property pos sessed at that period by the Due d'Orleans, the second decree of the 221 January, 1352, invokes the ancient principle by which the State became possessed of all the property belonging to the Prince who ascended the throne. We might examine historically that principle, and hope to be able to Tow that it Was an emanation of the feudal system, when there existed no property in the State dittinct from that of the Crown. We might be enabled to establish the fact that the Emperor Na poleon formally rejected it. (Senates Consulte of the 30th of January, 1810, title in. articles 480 and 49). We might be able to show that Charles X. set it aside by means of a donation in favour of his younger brother, the Prince, who was then his presumptive heir. But these considerations would be superfluous. One of a totally different nature rules the question. The ancient monarchical law cannot he seriously invoked against a Prince who received the Crown, not in conformity with, but in opposition to that ancient law. King Louis N Philippe occupied the thr o ne a fter King Charles e but he was not his legitimate successor or his heir. " The laws of the ancient monarchy could not apply to a new monarch, a new civil list and a new constitu tion leading to new arrangements in the laws, the go vernment, and the future of the country. Therefore in giving up to his children on the 7th of August, 1830, their hereditary patrimony, tho Prince could commit no breach of the law which was not applicable to his case. Both the law and the facts of the case repel the impu tation which the recital of the decree would cast upon his memory. " In the absence even of all donations the ancient Prit'aipki of the property being vested in the State ought to remain a dead letter; but a stronger reason than that is t he condition unler which the Due d'Orleans ac c_ceP:ed th e crown i n 1830. Th e P r ince did not hesitate Int . v ote his life t o th e sa f e ty of society when in peril, aci . the mid st o f a convu l s i on w hi c h he had neither excited nor desired • but he at the same time required that his childr en en should preserve the patrimony which he had himself The`donatio of derived from his ancestors. the 7th of August, unnecessary as regarded a law which longer existed established but this ono thine—a t fixed will o f t h e P r i nce who was called teahe throne to maintain the property of his pri vate domains i n th e head s of his familY; and that was assuredly a stipulation 'which on the 7th of August. At"hha he wa s entitled to make period, iu fact, though declared King of the French t b t y the two Ch am b e r', he w as not, tilt his accepta nce of the C row, s imple French Prince. Thi s i s so true, that by than y e t ad n is a . position of the law of the 2,1 of March , 1832, it was stated that the civil list should reckon from the 9th of August. the Due d Orleans not being ther recognised crown as ' King till the day on whic h he accepted and , took the o aths to the constitution. At that moment then, there was a contract, a sotemn convention entered into between the nation and the Prince; an d When recal all the remembrance of that period we are not able to understand from what' source the idea has been drawn that that 'donation should have roused the public con science.' "So far from that, it is certain that the principles under the protection of which we place the question hav e received not only the sanction of law, but also the con secration of validity by a ll the public authorities th at have existed in France since 1830. " In 1830, it is true, Parliament, as gu ardian s of the public rights, had ceased to exist; but authority w as not concentrated in one band only, and the two Chain. bers had; without doubt, the right, as it was their duty, to apply the ancient monarchical principles Au bins who mounted the thr oae, i f that principle llPPearr." to be ap plicable to the circumstances. "Now they, on the contrary, formally recognised (article 22 of the law of the 2d of March, 1832,) the fact that the King had conserved the property which be longed to' him before his conning to the throne. " The law of the 2d of March, 1832, t h e work of powers eminently independent, and which history does not accuse of having any great regard for the material interests of the Royal Family, did not retroact upon the past in matters which did not appertain to them. They limited themselves to this, that the principles of public right invoked by the decree of the 22d of January, 1832, were not applicable to the special position of the Due d'Orleans, and that there bad been no devolution upon the State of the property included in the donation. The law of the 2d of March, 1832, was declarative of a pre existing right, as if it had been a judgment which should intervene upon an analogous pretension to the domain of the State; only it was enacted with more authority and 8 -.9 le3a aitY- To deny, then, that the decree of the 22d of January feared to assume the authority of the public powerssheinterests of the co nst i tu ti ona l monar chy is to threaten a ll created and guaranteed during a period of thirty yea rs, and to take the first step towards a pro found disturbance of all our pub l i c r.„ ;Mat " The revelati on be sufficient of itself f to 1848 took place, and that should to destroy fact of the pretended return of the domain to the State, t e (which was not the case) had it taken place in 130; E the law of an cient times, which provided that convey his personal on the Prince becoming King he should State, was apparently bas4edpersonal property to the kept the crown, and the on the condition that he nPlerasivuisrieonafl Government, con fißitig its rigours to spocted and recognised the donation of sequestration, re ef the 7th of August, 1830. _ _ — ;in the month of Oc t ober, 1848, the question was brought before the Constituent A ssem b ly ou the propo jai 10.1.44.. c4OO-Zivre, a represe n t ative of the people.

The State itself took a mortgage on that same property, of which it is now pretended the State is the proprietor. In 1850 again a commission of the Assembly having proposed to raise a sequestration upon the effects of the Prince Joinville and the Duc d'Aumale, the Minister of Finance, in the name of the President of the Republic, explained the views of the Government, and intreated the Assembly to adopt a measure more complete and more just in demanding the raising of the sequestration upon the donation of the 7th of August, and obtained also its definitive restitution to the royal proprietors.— (See the Moniteur—speech of M. A. Fould, on the 24th of February, 1850.) " Thus, at all these periods and by the decree of the 22i of January, 1852, there was a consecration, after the most solemn debates, of the property of the family of Orleans to their ue—a triple recognition of the fact that the property of the donation had never ceased to belong to them. "Coming to the consequences of the recent decree, it is not only the property of the family which it attacks, but it overturns all the intervening acts, whether be tween the several members of that family or of third parties. " The advantages arising from this inheritance have accrued to certain children of the King; dowries have been fixed by eight contracts of marriage; diplomatic treaties have intervened with regard to them with eight foreign powers; some of the children of the King had predeceased him; they are represented by heirs who are minors—some French, others foreigners. One part of the property of the donation has been sold; others have been affected by loans. Hereditary rights, rights of foreign princes, rights of minors, rights of third par ties—the decree attacks all, reverses all. " Moreover, in overturning the testament of the King, the decree breaks even that of Madame Adelaide, his august sister. "The King and Madame had in fact combined their testamentary dispositions in such a manner as to pre vent the parcelling out in the hands of the children of the great bulk of the property of which they were pro prietors. For this purpose the first of the successions assured an advantage to him who had less of the second. The two testaments harmonised in this manner to carry out their joint intentions of equality among all. " That equality would disappear if the testament of the King should be destroyed, and the testament of the King is destroyed if the property of the donation is ab stracted from the common patrimony. In fact, can the possessor of the property escaping the application of the decree, preserve the part assigned to him by the testa ment, when the decree strikes down the property belong ing to his co-heirs? "It is to this point of view of the testamentary exe cution confided to our care that our mandate is engaged, and that we have a mission of duty to appeal to the more enlightened justice of the Chief of the State. On every point we demand judgment. "It is a question of property which the decree effects; and it affects it, so to speak, by the application of prin ciples of public law, so much so that the decision of questions of this sort belongs essentially to those tri bunals whose authority is final. " In conclusion, the testamentary executors of the late King Louis Philippe cannot be silent upon the great errors of fact proclaimed by the decrees of the 22d of January; though strangers to the point of law, these errors would appear unhappily to have exercised very great influence upon the solution of the question, and cannot be rectified by them. " According to the decrees, the family of Orleans would possess 300,000.000 f. of immoveable property in France, and division being made of the property of the donation, more than 10,000,000 f. would remain to them. These figures could not have been furnished but by persons absolute strangers to the affairs of the family of Orleans. " The testamentary executors of the late King Louis Philippe, whose mission it was to inquire thoroughly i nto t h e whole matter, are in a situation to affirm that both the statements are completely erroneous. More over, they attest that the execution of the decree of January 22, 1852, would almost be the complete ruin of the heirs of the late King Louis Philippe. The hope, then, that they.shall not have made a vain appeal to the justice and fair dealing of the Prince President of the Republic. (Signed) a DUPIN. " Due de MONTMORENCY. " Count de MONTALIVET.

A steady and qu iet, but not a large , business has been ' transacted this week in the British mines, chiefly in dividend-paying ones, which, notwithstanding the with drawal of c a pit a l from this market to the Stock Ex change, for investment in th e g olden p rojects, have either maint a i ne d t h e i r previous rates or a dvan ced in value —except Condurrow anti South Frances Mines, which have declined—whilst a serious blow is being struck at a large class of mmes, whose existence dates scarcely twelve months back, and great reductions in their value submitted t o f or t h e s ake of realising. The same cause is partially a ff ect i ng the value of really bo nd fide concerns, on which lar ge ca pitals have beets judi ciously expended, but to a mo difi e d ex t e nt. The clari fying tendency of the circumstances adverted to are however, likely to be productive of future benefit, rather than evil, to mining interests. —Copper ore sold, 3,9851. Bs.

T t t e l s ' e h n e , w trial as () resumed Francisa at FRIDAY.—THE SPECIAL COMMISSION.-- DUBLIN, Kelly, . Monaghan yesterday, when Mr. Butt, Q.C., addressed s der TH O E f the jury at much length for the defence, and several DisAour.stlhEeN Tm murder w i tnes ses were examined to prove an alibi. The Soli citor-General replied to the e v id ence on the part of the Crown. The Lord Chief-Justice having charged the jury, they retired at six o'clock, and remained out for three hours and a half. At halt-past nine o'clock last night they were called into court, and asked if they had agreed to a verdict. The Foreman replied in an em phatic tone, that they had not. The Chief Justice di rected that the jury should return to their room. Bai liffs were then sworn to prevent communication with the jury) they were locked up for the night, and the Court adjourned. It is very probable that the jury will be discharged without coming to a verdict this day, and that the special Commission will close early next week. The Special Commission has had the effect of check ing actual outrage in the disturbed districts of the north; but there is too much moor' to apprehend that the change will be but very temporary. Threatening notices upon landlords, agents, and other persons concerned in land, are becoming more ircgacot in Louth, Monaghar, Armagh, and Down. A notice of this kind has been re ceived within the last week by a landed proprietor re siding near Dundalk, and whose property adjoins that of Mr. Eastwocd, who has so narrowly escaped assassi- 1 nation. LA W INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 30. Sittings in Middlesex, at Nisi Prius, in Hilary Term, before Mr. Baron MARTIN and Common Juries.) MENDOZA. V. WOOLLEY. This was an action to mover compensation in da mages for an assault._ _ The defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Hawkins appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ro binson was counsel for the defendant. The plaintiff is an old clothcsman, and the defendant is a member of the equity bar. The circumstances of the case will be gathered from the accompanying evi dence : Mendcza—l am the plaintiff. and I live in Hennas ditch. I have eight children. I deal in old clothes, and on the 27:h of November I was collecting clothes in Halfmoon-street, Piccadilly. About half-past flint • o'clock that morning I saw a gentleman standing at the door of No. 2?, in that street. He had his bat off. Thinking that he had called me I went across and asked him if he had any cast-eff wearing apparel to dispose of. He said, " You Jew thief, do you think I sell old clothes ?" I said, " Whom do you call a thief ?" He said, "You Jew thief, I will knock your d—d head off," and then gave me a terrific blow on the cheek. I reeled and fell intoehe middle of the street. When I re covered myself the gentleman was standing at the door, and as I was going back towards him he threw out with his feet and kicked me several times, till I fell again into the road. On my recovering myself I looked to wards the house and found the door was shut. I saw a woman cleaning the steps at No. 20, the house opposite. I spoke to her, and then managed to crawl home, and was kept in bed three days. Some time afterwards I went to the Vice-Chancellor's Court, where I saw the person who assaulted me dressed up in his robes and wig. I knew him when I saw him. Before this I had gone to my attorney. Cross-examined—l have lived in my present house ever since it was built—seven or eight years. I did not see a little dog at the door with this gentleman. That is the gentleman sitting there, and he is the same I saw at Lincoln's Inn in his wlg and gown. He was not pointed out to me. I have no doubt of his being the man who assaulted me on the 27th of November. That gentleman up there is not the gentleman. The defen dant had a dark coat on, and lightish coloured trousers —speckled. I cannot say whether he had slippers on or boots, notwithstanding I felt them when he kicked me. I was on the other side of the street, and I went over because I thought he called me. I touched my hat to the gentleman in the first instance. He did not say he did not call ma. I did not use any offensive observations. I feel the effects of the blow even now very much. After he knocked me down the first time I was walking quietly towards him. When I went back he kicked me several times; the first kick I warded off with my hand. I had three kicks, certainly, because I was " obligated" to take them.—(Laughter.) The kicks followed each other very quickly, and, as I re tired from them, he came after me. I got home between ten and eleven o'clock, but did not take to my bed till the third day after the assault, I saw my attorney before I took to my bed. On the day after the assault I went up to Halfmoon-street, and obtained from the servant the names of her master, Mr. John Tartan Woolley. The assault was on Thursday, and on the Friday I got this information from the servant at the house. Robert Bell—l served the writ upon that gentleman, at his house in lialfmoon-street, and, to the best of my belief, ho is the same I iaw in the Vice-Chancellor'6 Court. __ _ Ann Ward—l remember the 27th of November, and on that morning was cleaning the steps of the duor of No. 20. I saw the plaintiff come by. Prior to the as sault I saw a gentleman standing at the door of No. 27. The plaintiff at , ked him it he had any old clothes to sell, when the gentleman called him a "Jew thief," and pre sently knocked him down. I believe that gentleman to be the one. Cross-examined—The plaintiff has called on me twice since the assault. I never knew him before. That is like the gentleman. Ile is about his height. I will not swear that the other was not the gentleman, Edward Haten, the assistant of a medical gentleman at Islington, proved having attended the plaintiff: His face was very much inflamed, his arm bruised, and his left leg also. The plaintiff . was ordered to bed, some liniment was supplied to him, and medical attendance upon him was necessary for more than three weeks. Cross-examined—l attended the plaintiff rather as a friend, for I had bought clothes of him. I attended him about ten times during the three weeks. Mr. R OBIN SON, on the part of the defendant, said that he would call his client, who did not commit this assault, and also the uncle of that gentleman's wife, who really did commit it. It would then be for the jury to say which of the parties they believed, and find accordingly. J. T. Woolley—l am a member of the bar, and live in Ilalfmoon-street. On the morning in question the uncle of my wife was on a visit to us. I did not assault any one on that morning. Cross-examined—My uncle was with me at that time. I was served with the writ at the door of my house. Hearing a noise in the street I went to my window, and saw the plaintiff standing near the pavement. I did not seo him on the ground. I received a letter from Mr. Da Medina, but I did not reply to it. When I was served with the writ, I said nothing as to my not being the person who had committed the assault. I did not hoar any swearing from either of the parties when I heard the altercation Ong on. Charles Benjamin Blayds —I am a gentleman. I have been in the army, and live upon my means. I was on a visit at my niece's, and committed the assault, as the plaintiff has stated. Cross-examined—Last night I slept in Conduit-street West, the night before at the Craven Hotel, and the night before that at East Cowes. I have no settled re sidence, but travel about. I live upon my means—rents. I can't tell you what the amount is, as they vary each year perhaps. I spend my time in smoking cigars, walking about, reading the newspapers, and now and then at a theatre. —(Laughter.) Mr. HAITYINs replied, and Mr. Baron MARTIN summed up. The jury . gave a verdict for the def en d an t, adding, that in their opinion the plaintiff was mistaken as to the person. Mr. Baron MARTIN thought so too. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 30. (Before Mr. Commisioner LAW.) THE ALLEGED CARD CHEATING AT BRIGHTON.—IN RE GEO. PUDDY. This insolvent, a boot -maker in Panton-street, Hay market, applied to be di sc h arge d . Mr. Cooke (with whom was Mr. Dowse) opposed for Mr. Robert Bignall, of the Argyll Rooms; Mr. Sargood supported. The case, which crested a good deal of interest, occu pied about six hours, and was not concluded till past five o'clock. The insolvent was procured by Mr. Bignall, being his bootmaker, to be one of the bail for Charles Nottidge, his cook, who was committed by the magistrates at Brighton for alleged perjury in attempting to justify in the case of Broome, Staden, and James, committed for alleged cheating at cards in a matter which has been frequently before the public. The insolvent was given 2501. by Bignall, and he went down to Brighton 9n the sth of September last to justify, but was not called, as the required notice had not been given, and a Mr. Potter, the joint bail, justified in the sum of 5001., and Nottidge was discharged. The money w as given to the insolvent on two occasions; 150/. by Bignall, and afterwards by a person ho sent another 1004 On his return from Brighton the insolvent the same night returned the 1004 given to him, and on the following day (Saturday) called on Mr. Bignall with Mr. Potter, to return the 150/, as wos supposed, but he was not at home. On the Monday following, being asked for the money, he declared that it had been given to him to bo bail, and he kept it. Mr. Bignual took the opinion of a magistrate, and wait ed on his t torney. A writ was issued on the 11th of September, and served on the 15th of the same month. The insol vent pleaded to the action by Mr. Sill,. attorney, of Tavistock-row (who was the attorney inthe prosecution ea he in the alleged card cheating case), a sp p l received the money to sw ear falsely that ecial he was poi_ anked of 2501. On the trial in December neither the plaintiff. Bignall, nor the insolvent was called. The jury gave a verdict for 150 /. , a nd the costs were 5 91. Tho isolvent being taken in execution by Bignall, peti tioned the Court, and was now heard. The disclosures made were extraordinary. On the part of Bignall, Mr. Anderson,pewrhsoonsnaiadmhede was an artist in singing and painting, a Byers, Mr. Potter, the insolvent. and Mr. Bignall_, and were exa mined. The deposit of the m oney was proved, that it was given as a( curity to the insolvent for becom ing bail, he having stated to Anderson, Byers, and Bignall that be had property to the amount of 2501., after all his debts. Th e 150/ first given was not returned, and the insolvent said it for him to swear h e was worth 2 was a " present " 50/. He stated that he had never said he was worth 2501. Before he was served with a writ, he called on Mr. Sill, and asked him whether he had a ri g ht to keep the money , it being given him to swear he was worth 2501, and Sill told him he had an undoubted right to keep the money. He asked Sill what he charged him fur his opinion, and Sill said, " As you have got the 1501. easily, my advice cannot be dear at a guinea."—(A laugh.) Sill told him Bignall would never go to trial, and said for 504 he would hold him harmless. He had paid him 51/. out of the 1501., and the rest of the money in debts he owed; and atter the verdict sold some furniture. He said every " rap" of the money was gone, and his trade was also gone. Since he had been in prison he had signed the following certificate, at the instance of Broome:—" I hereby certify that I, George Puddy, was advised and persuaded by Richard Sill, so . licitor, of Taviitock - row , to retain 150/, paid into my hqnds ' hy Robert Bignall, of Great Windmill-street, for the purpose of bailing Charles Nottidge, and I gave the said Richard Sill 501. out of the 150/, on the condition that he would hold me harmless, and that he has not done so. I, therefore, make this statement." In the evidence of Mr. Bignall he positively declared that the insolvent assured him ho was worth 250/. The money w as given to him as security, and he was to have 10/ for his trouble. Mr. Sill was examined at some length, and admitted that he had received 51/. from the insolvent. Ho had made out his bill, whi c h he new produced, and it amounted to 854 18s. sd. It was a special jury, at the instance of the defendant. Mr. M. Chambers, his coun sel, thought the plea was made out without calling the defendant, Mr, Sill positively declared that ho never undertook to hold the insolvent harmless for 501. or any other money, and that the paper read, which had been :47.,r.ea in prion, WJS Li:lt; tic. The insolvent paid him a guinea for his advice, and he did not remember that he had Odd him it was cheap at that anal, as he had got the 1501. in a very evy manner. Mr. COOKE contended that Mr. Bignall had been robbed of the 1501., and prayed en exemplary judgment. There was a clear breach of trust. The plea was most extraordinary, and no attempt on the trial was made to support it. The Learned Counsel said his impression was that the insolvent had still the 150/., and had not spent it. Mr. SARGOOD, in his address, admitted that there must be a judgment, but thought the opposite side were not without blame, and not of so much respectability as to be entitled to much consideration. There was no doubt the money had all been spent. Mr. Commissioner LAW gave judgment. Ho was of opinion that a very dirty fraud had been practised by the insolvent on Mr. Big - fiat!, with respect to the 150/, had cheated him out of the money. He did not sup pose that when he eav Mr. Potter, on the day atter they came from Brighton, that he meant to keep the money. lie had been tempted by the devil to do so, and unhappily for him when he waited on the attorney he as cc: firmed in his mind. It was a very dirty fraud—a breech of trust, and the defGnee was vexatious. His Honour adjudged the insolvent to an imprisonment of fifteen calendar months, at the suit of Bignall, for a breach of trust and vexatious defence. ' SHIP NEWS. NOTICE TO MARINERS. Lisbon, Jan. 24.
