looked at in this harbour by the doctor's steward.
Edward Pyburn said that while in the ship ha did not
pass the doctor at all. The doctor's mate or steward ex-
amined him while in the harbour. He worked his passage
to Brest, and on arriving there the word was passed by the
boatswain's mate that all the men who came on board at
Queenstown should go ashore. When they got to the shore
the word was passed that those who wished to do so could
join the ship, and those who did not could go ashore. They
all returned to the Nearsage and were shipped. The first
Ilieutenant told them their wages would be 18 dubs. per
month, and a dollar and a half grog money.
Thomas Murphy corroborated the first portion of Pyburn's
statement.
Dennis Leary said he went on board the Kearsage the day
she was to sail from Queenstown (Thursday). He went below
and did not come on deck except once until they reached
Brest. His account of what occurred there was exactly
similar to that given by Pyburn.
The other defendants made no statement.

I cordially thank your Imperial Mejesty for
the sentiments of sincere friendship which you hc.ve
testified towards me on this occasion, and I pray
you to be perspaded of the perfect reciprocity of
my sentiments as well as of my,most sincere desire
to prove to you the hivh value which I attach to

the two empires. .

PROTEST OF DENMARK,

The following is a translation of a note addressed
to the Ministers of Foreign Affair 3 of Prussia and
(with the necessary alterations of names and titles)
of Austria, Saxony, and Hanover, dated Comm-
hagen, December 19 :

ceipt, on the 15th instant, of the note whereby the
President of the Council and Minister of Foreign
Affairs of Prussia has acquainted him with a Federal
decree of December the 7th, and in consequence:of
the so-called procedure of execution resolved by the
said Federal decree, has requested the Government
of the King to evacuate Holstein within seven days.

" But the singular character of the pretended
Federal execution has become still more perceptible
since the Federal Assembly has pretended to ques-
tion his Majesty's right of succession and the vali-
dityf view
of the Treaty of London of May 8, 1852. For,
even considering the matter from

" Lastly, I must observe that the request addressed
to the King's Government is not in conformity
with the prescriptions laid down in the regulations
for the procedure of execution, dated August 3,
1820 (Art. X.)—namely, in this important point,
that it has not been made possible for the King's
Government to avoid the execution by submission
to any precise demands addressed to it. Far leen,
this, the execution itself appears simply as *
only
object of the Federal resolution.
" His Majesty, my most gracious sovereign, is
under these circumstances unable to recognise the
so-called execution, resolved by e i e '—
