" In the mean time; the procesS; as yoti know, was insti-
tuted at the request, as it aratrsaid; of the King of Spain; and
the proceeding* originated on the part of his Ambassador,
the Duke of San Lorenzo. At the bottom of this citation it
was attested by the Minister of Foreign Allairs that the Duke
of san Lorenzo was accredited in this capacity to the French
Government.
" From what we hive now had the honour to announce to
the Court, it results, that since the citation was served, M. de
San Lorenzo hat:lost the quality. in which he was then recog-
nised ; hence the citation may be considered as of none effect,
and It is no longer incumbent upon us to take cognizance of
this affair.: Under these circumstances, we require, that the
Court will be pleased to annul the record."
M. Maugtiin precipitately rose from,his seat, and said " It
appears to me .that the -King's Advocate takes aipon himself
a serious responsibility t ~he has just declared war against
Spain."

M. Mauguin commenced to 'argue the Merits of the question,
when he was opposed by the King's Advocate, whO observed
that, after what he had announced on the part of the Govern-
ment, it was .for the Court to decide whether it could proceed
with the suit. In this view 111'. Mauguin concurred.
The Court, after a , few. minutes' deliberation,-gave the fol-
towing judgment :
" Inasmuch as it results from the letter all. the Keeper of
the Sears t 0,41. the King's Advocate, that M. the-Duke of San
Lorenzo has•ceased to be acredited as Ambassador of his Ca-
tholic Majesty the King of Spain to his Majesty the 'King of
France, the Court consequently cannot recognize him in the
quality in which he is represented- in. the ..indictment. •• The
Court, therefore, declares that it cannot take cognizanie of
the suit, and orders it to be erased from the records of the.
Tribunal."
