A dreadful storm is again gathering over
the continent OF Europe, and doubt whether
az any time before, such numerous corps of
troops were IT once in motion as at this pre-
sent moment. The armies of France and
her allies which are actually already march
ing against Austria may without the least
exaggcration be estimated at 500, 900 men,
1t IS not equallJ easy to ascertain the real
military force Of Austria, but there cannot
remain doubt Of its being also very formi-

This was a case stated for the opinion of
the court. 1t stated that on the 21st Deem
Der, 1907, the plaintiff caused insurance to-
be made UPON the schooner Hazard, valued
at $500 dollars at and from Philadelphia to
HAVANA. The vessel with valuable car
SO on board, cleared out at the custom house
OF Philadelphia on the Dist Dec. 1907 and
sailed on the voyage ensured but owing to
head winds was obliged to stop a Reedy Isl.

III pursuance of an act OF Congress, entitled,
an act laying an embargo OH all ships and
veSs is, &c. passed on the 22d Dec. 1907.
which act was received and promulgated by
the collector of the port of Philadelphia, on
the 9th Dec. 1907. The said officers took
away all the ships papers. The vessel was
ordered, and returned to Philadelphia, and
was regularly abandoned to the underwri-
terS.
The question for the opinion Of the court,
was Whether in the facts stated. the plain
tits are entitled to recover for a total loss CT
partial loss; or whether the defendants
we're entitled TO judgment.
The case was argued on the 18th and 18th
inst. by Hopkins and Dallas for the plaintiff,
and by Rawle and Lewis, for the defendants.
Y &c same point had occurred in the case of
King " Delaware insurance company, and
was argued by Charles Ingersoll and Tilg-
ham for plaintiff, and Condy and Rawle for
defendants.
4 On the part Of the plaintiff, it was contcn-
tdcd that the detsn,on under the embargo
Twas loss ensured against under the words

FROM INDIA.

Intelligence is received from Bombay so
late as the 4th January; which we under
stand announces the expected arrival of the
In'aun of Muscat at that Presidency, for
the purpose OF making arrangements with
the British government for defeating the
projects OF France in that quarter. We fur
Their hear, that the movements of the Per-
sian armies, and the influence which France
has obtained i'm the councils of Persia, have
excited the greatest sensations among he
Indian Princes on the Northern and West
ern trontiersi and that several British Of
icers had been employed on missions to the
different Courts, with view to unite and
direct the spirit of resistance which these
Chieftans have individually evinced to the
plans of the French.
The British government have received
some accounts from Macao. in the Bay of
Canton. which Island has been confided to
the British by the Prince Regent of Portugal.
1t appears, that besides the Portuguese Au.
thorities, a Chinese mandarin was station
ed there, os,ensibly toprotect the town and
territory, but actually with the view to pre-
vent that intercourse between the Euro
peanS and Chinese, which the Tartarian
Princes of that Empire have always consi
dered to be dangerous to their power. This
watchful agent of the court OF Pekin, has
entertained some suspicious of the designs
of the British, unfavorable to this arrange
ment 1t is very probable, that the inact-
witty of the p. ;uguese of late years, which
had converted an immense depot of trade,
into an useless military fort, with small gar
rison, contrasted with the spirit Of com
mercial adventure and monopoly, that actu-
atcs the new British visitors, has given rise
to these jealousies.
