Copenhagen, Feb. 22,

My Lord—l have the honour to enclose herewith oopy of
a note which I have received from M. Quaade, enclosing
the notification by the Minister of Marine that after the
25th of this month a blockade cf the east coast of the
Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein is to be established with
the exception of certain places therein specially named.
M. Quaado also states that any neutral ship then lying in
a blockaded harbour will be allowed till April Ito leave it,
either in ballast or with cargo; and if in any special ease it
should happen that this delay is not sufficient for the clear-
ing out of the neutral ships, the officer in command of the
blockading force is authorised to grant, on demand of the
consular agent, a further delay for their free departure.
I have sent copies of this note and its enclosures to Mr.
Consul Taylor, and Nava instructed him to inform the
Vice-Consuls in his district of the intentions of the Danish

Copenhagen, Feb. 20:

. _ .
Sir—l have the honour to inform you that from the 25th
of this month all the ports and inlets of the east coast of
the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein will be in a state of
blockade, with the exception of Noustadt, the IslandS of
Ala and Aeroe, and other pieces actually under the autho-
rity of the King.
While transmitting to you herewith some copies of the
publication in which the Minister of Marine notifies the
blockade, I venture to have recourse to your kind interven-
tion to request you to be good enough to give notice to the
consular agents of your Government resident at the block-
aded places, notifying to them at the same time that all
neutral ships which at the commencement of the blockade
are in a blockaded port will, u 2 to the Ist of April, have the
right of leaving either with cargo or in ballast.
If, from special circumstances, the delay fixed for free
exit is not found sufficient in any particular case, thaoffioer
charged with the blockade is authorised to arrange for a
longer term with the Consular agent, on receiving an appli-
cation from him to that effect.

Receive, &c.,

G. QUAADE.

A Curious Case,

An application was made last week to the Civil
Tribunal of the Saine under the following circum-

stances :
A widow lady named Hautefeuille, whose hus-
band died in 1844, became insane some years after-
wards, and was finally declared, by a judgment
of the Tribunal of the Seine, in July, 1862, in.
capable of managing her affairs. Previously
to this judgment, Madame Hautefeuille had
confided to her confessor, the Abbe Caubert,
manager of the School of St. Genevieve, a con-
siderable part of her fortune. In August, 1862,
the Abbe Beaurain, who had succeeded the Abbe
Gaubert as manager of the school above-men-
tioned, restored to M. 'Moulin, the husband of one
of the lunatic's daughters, recently appointed her
guardian by the tribunal, 22 Roman bonds, and an
inscription of Piedmontese mute producing a yearly
dividend of 200 fr. These securities represented a
total of about 28,000 fr. The Abbe Beaurain also gave
M. Moulin a note of hand for 8,000 fr., which was
paid in the October following, and received from him
a receipt in full of all demands. In July, 1863, how-
ever, M. Moulin commenced proceedings against
the Abbes Caubert and Beaurain, to recover a fur-
ther sum of 12,000 fr., on the ground that Mme.
Hautefeuille had not confided to M. Caubert secu-
rities worth only 28,000 fr., but a sum of 48,000 fr.
in cash, and he demanded to be allowed to prove-
1, That Mme. Hautefeuille had frequently expressed
to third persons her intention of leaving her pro-
perty away from her two daughters ; 2, that she had
borrowed money and given it to the Jesuits ; 3, that
she had led a miserable life, as if she had no resources
whatever; 4, that the Abbe Beaurain admitted that
ho had received from her 48,060 fr. in each; and 6,
that the Jesuits had a quantity of furniture be-
longing to the lunatic which they had not paid
for, as they pretended. The applicant's counsel
stated that Mme, Hautefeuille had been under
the influence of her Jesuit confessors ever since
1844, and had confided to them whatever money
came into her possession, and had received little
or no interest for it. His client was therefore
justified in taking measures to recover the full
amount of the principal. The application was
opposed by the Abbes Caubert and Beaurain,
whose counsel sti gmatised the present proceed-
ings as an attempt to extort money from his eients
by charging them with scandalous dishonesty. All
the money duo to the lunatic's estate had been re-
stored, and the applicant himself had gave a receipt
in full of all demands. The Tribunal, after hearing
the Public Prosecutor, who strongly reprobated the
applicant's conduct, rejected all Moulin's demands,
and condemned him to pay all costs.

Dr.PUSEYhas evidently got a profound conviction
that true unity of spirit is engendered by common
repulsion rather than common attracCon. " Any one," ho
confides to the _Record, "who knows anything of human
nature, knows in what countless cases the fear of Hell first
drove men to their forgotten God and Saviour," and there-
fore he calls the Lord Chancellor's recent judgment in the
case of "Essays and Reviews" soul-destroying, and, on
exactly the same principle, he offers to ally himself with
the Record, on the ground of a strong common repulsion to
that judgment—an offer which the Record, recognising in
the most cordial spirit that common hatreds imply a truly
Christian unity of spirit, gladly accepts, calls Dr, Pusey's
letter "admirable and faithful," and sounds the
call to common action on the part of all who think
with the new Puseyite and the old Evangelical party
that, as Dr. Pusey naively remind us, "Good when He
revealed Hell, knew the creatures which ho had made better
than these people," This, then, is to be the basis of the
new coalition between the dregs of the Fuseyito and the
dregs of the Evangelical party—for common belief, the
assertion of the verbal inspiration of the Bible, and the
Gospel of Hell everlasting ; for common action the subver-
sion of the Privy Council's judgment. Dr. Pusey writes,
and the _Record receives what he says, exactly as if our
Lord had come preaching and revealing not Himself and
the Kingdom of God, but the Devil and the Kingdom of
Hell, in order that the scared human race might walk back-
wards from the hottoniless pit, and so recoil into their
Saviour's arms. It is a curious example of a great spiritual
engine with the wheels reversed.—Spectator.
" We have received accounts," says the Toulon -
nais, "of the Iphigenie frigate, which left this port
on the Gth 4anuary, having on board a number of convicts
for New Caledonia. She touched at St. Vincent's (Cape
de Verd Islands) on the 27th of that month. Some cases
of scurvy had appeared among the passengers, but, owing
to the precautionary measures adopted, the disease was soon
checked. The conduct of the convicts on board was very
satisfactory, A number of them, under the direction of
the Abbe Renouard, the chaplain, had learned religious
choruses, which they sang during the perforanance of mass
on Sundays,''_
