Inc tes.amentary executors OF LOUIS PHIL
LIPE have addressed a protest to LOUIS BONA
PARTE, against the sequestration of the property
OF the Orleans family, in the firt paragraph Of
which, they say:
/" The testamentary executors Of the late King
Louis PHILIPPE, deem it their imperative duty to
protest against the decree of the 22d of Janu.
airy, 1852, relative to the property Of the house
OF Orleans. That decree overturns, from ton To
bottom, not only the testaments which they were
appointed to execute, but also all the civil con.
tracts which have regulated and fixed the posi-.
ton and the rights of the various members az
that august house They come forward, there.
fore, apart from all political prepossessions. to
appeal to the justice of the Prince President or
the French republic, and to point out the errors
in law on which the second decree entirely rests.
Unless these errors are recognised and corrected.
they will iniict blow the most serious upon
the sacred rights 1.-THE property of that family"
The protest goes on to examine and contest
the legal doctrines alleged in justification of the
sequestration of the Orleans property, and hay-
ing done this, concludes with the following ex-
posure of what it terms the great errors of fact
in the decree of the 22d of January:
According to the DEGREES, the family of Or.
leans would possess 300,O0O,C0Of Of immoya-
BILE property in France, and division being made
Of the property of the donation more than lOO-
000,000f would remain to them. These figures
could not have been furnished but by persons
absolute strangers to the affirs of the family of
Orleans.
| "The testamentary executors of the late King
Louis Philippe, whose mission it was to INQUIRE
thoroughly into the whole matter, are in a stu
alton to affirm that both the statements are
completely erroneous. Moreover, they attest
that the execution of the decree of January %.
1852, would almost be the complete ruin Of the
heirs of the late King Louis Philippe. They
hope, then that they shall not have made vain
