The Navy Department has received dis- patebes from the U.

The town is ocenpied by the French with a single vessel, the “Lucifer,” carrying eight guns, lying st chor before it. The shores of the bay are beleaguered by the Liberals, so that Cocoanut Groves, within cannon shot of | the town, cannot safely be approached. The conl agent desires the protection of the Amer- ican flag in giving coal to the Monadnock. The Commodore states that after coaling he will prebably proceed to San Francisco, touching at Magdalen Bay to transfer coal from the anderbilt to the Monadnock.

Tre Crernaxe Linet Suir. — Crecert SOUKT. Juage Cin —Tris morning, the irtal of ibe care of Francis Me@ban against Lewis Clepbane tor libel was resumed. Mr. Bradley, + tor (he piainudl, Daving yesterday closed argument— Sir. Cook. for the defendant, commenced his argument, quoting Leibip’s Political Economy, Part 11, page 63, to show the responsibility of the jurors, who in a case represent the country. jerors must exclude all which is not evi- dence, and form their conclusions from the evidence alone. What, is m this case a libel, which in Broom’s Common Law is define. a8 malicious defaraation of character, and this is taken 3s the common meaning. There are two elasees ot what are cailed privileged commu- nications, one absolute and the other eondi- tional. he quoted Starkie on Slander, page 125, and 2@ Boyier’s Institntes, paragraph 2251. After quoting several authorities to show what was a privileged communication, he said it does Lot follow that a commun icauon contain- ing what is false is therefore libelions; it must be sbown that there was malice. There is a difference between what are termed libellous communications and those made from a sense of duty. « He proceeded to rend from 6th Grayes, p. 97, that a party could not be subjected t6 damages for libel if tbe communication was called for by the exigencies of the time, and many other authorities on the same point. It was im an hour when a banner of bine and stars which bad never gone down to aforeign power, bad been areniled, that the communication was Mace; and in such & case. Any communication of the kind, if made witbont malice, was a privileged one. It was true that the reputa- tion of ” man mast be sacred, put in society it may be sometimes tarni<hed. Did the exist. ence of the rebellion furnish an oceasion for the citizens the District to go the Govern- tment with formation concerning those who symputhized with the rebellion. and it was the duty of alt loyal citizens to make known to the Government departments their suspicions aga nist persons whose reputation for loyalty they doubled. He quoted the treason act of 1790, and cqntended that that law required the defendant and every other loyal citizen to dis. close what information of which he was in possession. He had that information from various persons. To sustain this action the proot must be furnished showing malice jn fact—ill will, euvy, spite, or bad motive; and he argned that none had been shown. He argued that the purpose of the defendant was to promote the weifare of the Government, And not for the purpose of personal injury, as wes sLown by the letter of Mr. Cleptane, introduced by the plaintiff. Mr, Cook then pro- ed toreview theevidence,to show that there dant taking id, He read fromthe journal tinental Congress in the revolu- Honery war extracts from the laws and reso- Tntions in relation to suspicious persons, and the old laws of Virginia on the same subject, contending that the defendant was acting under the spirit of these laws. The American Congress at that ume declared that reason- hie suspicion was ample grounds for arrest. Tue declaration is that doilars and cents do botge into his pockets: it does not complain otany damage by reason of the charge of dis- joyalty, but the damage done his business. Then, too, he does not allege dan in his business, as a partner in the firm of Myers & McGhan. He contends fur damages for all he Might have made during the suspension The bids were filed weekly, and consequently it cannot be said that there was any assurance bat the Government would continue to pur- ematerial for more than aweek. They claim ten thousand damages, when the mount purebased during the suspension wes £27,000, and Mr. Shepherd swears that he smount furnished by Thompson & Co. w 210,000, on Which the profits were 5 per cent. The profits they should take into con- sideration and not the whole amount furnished. In conclusion he cited several authorities in npport of his argument, closing at 2 o'clock, ——_s——_— CRIMINAL Court, Judge Cariter.—On Tnes- day Arthur Hays plead guilty to a charge of 1 Ny, and was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary, and in a second similar case he also plead guilty, and was sentenced to anoth- er year. Jobn Dorsey alias Chas. Steir, indicted for larceny, was convicted and sentenced to one year in the penitentiary.
