NEWS OF THE MORNING.

PARIS, DEC. 17.—The letters and journals which we re-
ceive this morning from New York, brought by the Rhone
packet, which sailed from that city on the 24th of Novem-
ber, are rather pacific.
" The most general opinion to-day," says the Journal of
Conzinerce, "is, that the President's Message will be con-
ceived in terms which will induce France to hold out a
friendly hand to us ; of course it will make no concession
respecting the indemnity, on the payment of which the two
nations are agreed, but it will smooth the difficulty which
France feels in paying the debt under present circum-
stances, lest the world should think it acts under the in-
fluence of fear."—Journal du Havre.

The uncertainty respecting St. Sebastian is revived. The
Gazette de France said yesterday, under the head of St.
Jean de Luz, Dec. 12 :—" The bombardment of St. Se-
bastian was resumed yesterday ; we heard the cannon the
whole day. It is said that 500 men have arrived from
Bilboa V) its relief, among whom are some artillerymen."

This morning we received in the Memorial Bordelais of
the 14th " A letter from St. Sebastian, Which we have be-
fore us, announcing that the tranquillity whielt the tti*ii al
this moment enjoys is owing only tat tfltho for six. days
granted by the Carlists) in
ons4-IZiration for the steps taken
by Baron De Vigicnt, the'; nch Consul,
" But wo • . pQ t,bat the letter of which we speak
is dated tr
.vetitly it would not be surprising if
Cordova,.tage of this truce to throw rein-
for..tetnetOs ins,. ' t:i4ed town, or to attempt a diversion
for the purpose or deranging the plan of operations 'of the
btiiegera. It is in this manner we explain the news which
we received the day before yesterday, and which can leay9
no doubt of the raising of the siege."
The Indicateyr of 'the same date confirms tho ars
rival of the reinforcements mentioned by the Gazette.
In the night of the 10th the Isabella 11. steam boat had
arrived from Santander with 400 infantry, 106 artillery,
some pieces of cannon and ammunition.

After this, the Carlists may indeed do some damage to
the town, but they cannot think of obtaining possession of it,
The Journal of the Eastern Pjrennees has news from
Catalonia. The following is the only new fact that we find
in it :--

" Lieutenant-Colonel Salatier, who was bearer of de-
spatches for the Pretender, has been surprised ana killed at
Esterri, by a detachment which seized his correspondence."
A letter from Toulon of the 12th says, that a letter from
Oran announces that the Castor and Rumier steam boats
have orders to be ready to depart with the Prince at the
beginning of January, to visit the place on the coast of Africa
occupied by our troops, and then return to France. The
Duke of Orleans - thinks to be at Toulon on the 20th of
January.

—O, daughter to Lazarus
I had 0104 eltildren by
„,,tvlsed by her media attendants to live sepa-
..Le from her, and during that time her father died. I
got nothing from my father-in-law's estate. When leaving
military arsenal the house after the reading of the will, Lewis said if I would
an ilnrnense quantity of call to-morrow be had something particular to say. The

. .
following day Lewis proposed a divorce, saying that the fa- '
mily would Dive 49/„i and pay the expenses of the •
di-
vorce. I gave him no -anjwer; but hest day I asked 1001.
Net day Lewis said two . of my wife's brothers ilould give
daeli, Fiith..tlic4o/.,,which would make 60/. I said e.s
.don't dd it fin' the' gt-Mt of the money, I am satisfied.
We then went before the Chief gricl: Iyewis said he would
cnscs; he paid 91. when the divorce .IOT.;11- place.
When it way gave .me 51/. in a court in
Houndsditch, and observed nd rad paid the expenses with
the other 9/. I remonstrated, but he said, " Degvne; away,
the divorce is over, there is no use in talking." The fetter
now handed me is in Lewis's hand-writing. 1 afterwards
attested for the 60/. I was ten months in prison.
Sir F. Poumex—Does your Lordship think that ques-
tion decent, in an indictment of this sort.
- Lord DENmAN-,-It may show the animus of the de-
fendant.
Witness—l. was prapoit at the trial, and heard Lewis
tWOlif that the 601, was lent to
Cross-ekathititid 117 Sir F. PoLLocg-7-Lewis and Seymo

Of Kensington Lewis for thirtk years, All the time I hard
known him (about twenty years), lid coiled himself Lewis.
I was three times married. I divorced my firtt tend , last
wife. My eldest son is in Lewis's house, but he can't !darn ,
any thing good there. I was discharged five or six times
by the Insolvent Judge, and that I think was a credit, as
I was never remanded. I was discharged three times in
two years, and that shows I was •an honest fellow.—
(Laughter.) I may have spent 100,0001. in advertising,
&c., during the time I was in-business. I was imprisoned
six months by the Commissioner, not for doing anything
wrong, • but because I came there so often.—(A laugh.)
Solomon Herschel, the high-priest, was then called, but
was not in attendance.
Lord DENMAN—It is, very extraordinary that this case
was fixed for a Saturday. The high-priest has sent to ex-
cuse his attendance.
A letter from the defendant Lewis,• to Prince was read,
in which he stated "I told you I had the greatest difficulty
in persuading her brothers to make the money 601. instead
.of 40/., and you will remember I plainly told you, after
this, you would not have the smallest claim on any of us."
Lord DENmAN inquired if Mr. Erie had any other
witness ?
Mr. EuEE—No, my Lord.
Lord. DENMAN—Then the only witnesses are the letter
and the testimony of Prince ; and the question is whether
the only construction that can be put upon the letter is,
that it negatives distinctly the money being a loan. It
cannot be taken as a demonstration that it was a gift and
not a loan.
The Jury having intimated that. some of them were of a
different opinion,
Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK addressed the Jury for the
defendant, in a very eloquent and forcible manner.
The Learned Gentleman had been speaking for about an
hour, when the Jury rose, and said they were agreed in
returning a verdict of acquittal.
Lord DENMAN—Gentlemen, I agree with you.
not think the case has been made out.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

Mordecai Moses, alias Marcus TV arschaur, alias Warsaw
who was acquitted last night with Balls and Harris, was
this morning put to the Bar alone, and arraigned on another
indictment charging him with feloniously possessing two
plates upon which was engraved an order for the payment
of money, purporting to be an order of Nicholas, Prince of
Poland, without his authority or any of his officers.
The same Counsel appeared for the prosecution and de-
fence as yesterday, and the same jury were impannelled at
the request of the Learned Judge.
George Ruthven, the police officer, related the same evi-
dence as yesterday with respect to taking the prisoner at
the Strand Coffee-house, with the two plates and 104 im-
pressions in his possession.
Cross-examined by Mr. PAYNE—Went to the Coffee-
house in consequence of something Flaum told him. The
packet was not sealed.
Re-examined—The prisoner said he came expecting to
receive money from Flaum, and said he was sold.
Cross-examined—l believe he meant that Flaum had
deceived him.
Mr. Francis Salzmann, Accountant-General of the. Bank
of Vienna, repeated similar evidence to that he gave yes-
terday.
Samuel Flaum, the Polish agent employed to discover
forgers of foreign notes in this country, related the same
circumstances already published.
M. Stanislas Adelt, Comptroller of the Bank of Poland,
pronounced the notes produced to be forgeries.
Cross-examined by Mr. PAYNE—How do you know
that Nicholas is King of Poland ? Witness—Because he
reigns there.
Mr. PAYNE—WeII, if he reigns there he is king, and
if he is king he reigns ; but how do you know the fact ?
Have you ever seen Nicholas act as King of Poland ?
Witness—Yes.
The witness said he had brought 16 forged notes with
him to this country, which had been paid, and appeared to
have been worked from the same plates.
The prisoner in his defence said that Flaum's brother-in-
law called upon him one evening and invited him to the
Suffolk Coffee-house, when he said he was going to the
play, and asked prisoner to take care of the little parcel
which he sealed up. Prisoner did so, and afterwards met
him and Flaum at the Strand Coffee-house to return the
parcel, when he was taken into custody.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE summed up at very great
length.
The Jury instantly pronounced the prisoner Guilty.
