LI) i UN, LONDON, TH URSDA Y , NOVEMBER 3, 1870. that there are two sides to this question, and that much may be said on both. We have on former occasions urged the arguments that may be pleaded in favour of the German view. But Count BERNSTORPF ought not to forgot that the change is ° one wholly beneficial to Germany as a military power, and wholly prejUdicial to England as a naval power. Yet he does not hesitate to ask a single nation to alter of its own accord the clause of international law by which the conduct of all States is at present regulated—to wit, that the exportation of arms by a. neutral is permissible, but that a belli gerent is free to capture them if it can. Surely if this rule be modified at all, the change should be made, like other changes, by agreethent between a majority of civilised Governments. Count BERNS TORFF, however, not only asks the English Cabinet to act in the matter without concert with other Powers, - but demands that the alteration be effected in the midst of war, to the direct prejudice of one of the combatants. Most amazing fact of all, he applies to England, whilst no serious representations are made • to America, which supplies France with an infinitely greater number of weapons than the defeated nation obtains from England, and which, moreover, is in high favour with Germany. Surely, if Count BERN STOUFF'S representations were founded upon a sense of just treatment, his diplomatic brother at Washington would be furnished with the same in structions as those upon which he is acting so ener getically. Is it surprising that such impudent unfairness should generate the suspicion so openly expressed in the Times's epistle from Frankfort ? But a celebrated historian surpasses this fine achievement-of the diplomatist. Herr Von SYDEL makes it a ground of complaint that Englishmen have presumed to condemn - the annexation of Alsace and Lorraine as unjust and impolitic. The course taken by a large section of British writers has been perfectly logical, but it is open to the objection of being, in German esteem, decidedly lukewarm. France is in England generally urged to submit to the loss of territory, because it would save her from overwhelm ing calamities, and would not be incompatible with her future greatness and prosperity. It is conceded that Germany was unjustly assailed, requires pro tection against future outrages, and, in her , policy of conquest, is doing no more than France [ would have done, had victory inclined to the opposite aide. At the same time, it is pointed out that the wishes of several hundred thousand people ought not to be wantonly disregarded, that it is high time morality played some part in the decisions of governments, and that a future war for the re-con quest of the provinces is an absolute certainty. Herr VON SYBEL and his countrymen are offended at this qualified judgment. In the first place we ought, they say, to have prevented the war by a prompt denunciation of the wrong contem plated by France ; and now we ought to finish it by uttering the unqualified assurance that the territorial transfer is in all respects right and advisable, without the shadow of a plea on the other side, and that the sooner France admits both the necessity and the justice of yielding the point the better. Unfortunate England I To restrain from war a potentate who was so bent upon fighting that he risked and lost his crown in the enter prise, and to bring to reason a people and a Government whom neither Metz nor Sedan can subdue—such is the modest task set this long suffering State. And what should we get in return P The goodwill of Germany. Unhappily it is not certain that even this recompense would accrue to us. We hoped for at least this goodwill at the time when we subsidized Prussian forces, and fought wars which ended in a great increase of Prus sian territory, and in a proportionately great increase of the British national debt ; but neither good will nor anything more substantial wa s ever returned. We have no friends on the Continent, and, as the Times pertinently instances, not a single soldier, nor even this valuable moral sup port, was given us in the time of our greatest trouble —the Indian Mutiny. With the best desire to live on good terms with her neighbours, Eng land long ago ascertained that their friendship so far as practical results are concerned, was not worth having. No wonder that the behaviour of German publi cists should produce irritation in this country. The contest is deplored on all hands, but Von SXBEL him self admits that the balance of opinion here is in favour of,his nation. Ample tribute is accorded to the skill, enterprise, and valour which have led the Germans to their astonishing successes. Lack of admiration at those successes there is certainly none. Excellent as is the German press, its achievements in narrating with the utmost justice the events : of the war are hopelessly eclipsed by the brilliant efforts made in England. That more substantial service was rendered, in restraining the neutral states from taking sides by England's emphatic_ declaration that France was in the wrong, is the not unfounded opinion of many here. But if the Germans expect that we should assist them in needlessly humiliating a brave people, whose greatest fault is that they submitted tamely to the will of a wicked Government, it is high time for an unmistakeable assurance that nothing of the kind need be looked for. TOPICS OF THE DAY. DIE BALLOON MAIL. Either the Government at Paris is resolved to keep the provinces in ignorance of what passes within the walls, or the weather has continued. untavourable, for no news has come from the French capital since October 19. That is the latest date of our own des patches by balloon, and we have seen none by a more recent mail published in any other paper. The Times of Wednesday contains a Paris letter, but it is dated the 19th. Probably the weather has caused this break down, for it would seem that attempts have been made to keep up the communication. According to the Precurscur d' Anvers, the balloon Vauban left Paris on the 27th. It made an extraor dinary voyage. In order to insure great elevation whilst passing over the German lines, the balloon was made very large,and the gas purified as much as possibl9. The machine in consequence shot up into the clouds immediately the ropes were loosened, and it was blown to the north-east with such rapidity " that in an hour it was close to Metz." The balloon was there suddenly driven close to the ground, and the cradle several times dashed against the earth. It WAS afterwards driven into a wood and torn to pieces, the cradle remaining fixed in the upper boughs of a tree. The travellers succeeded both in getting down and in escaping the notice of the Germans. They finally fled into Belgium, but alas! without their despatches. From which story, if true, it seems a fair inference that ballooning will not do in winter. secured against attack. In now demanding Elsass and German Lothringen, the Germans, Herr Von Sybel asserts, are doing nothing more than what France must consider permissible and fair. Either France, at the beginning of the war, he holds, re garded German national honour as a thing of no account, or her present declaration that the cession of Elsass would be incompatible with her dignity is an empty phrase. The Germans think it bettor to choose the latter alternative, and could they, after their bitter experience of French aggression, enter tain the slightest doubt of the desirableness of the demands they make, it must vanish at once before the late utterances of French statesmen. If ever a nation entered on a war with a good conscience, the Prussians did so in 1870. Men speak of the balance of power being disturbed, and point to the speeches of Jules Favre without learning that what he means by the balance of power in Europe is the preponderance of France. If a nation forbids the Romans to join Italy, the South Germans to join the North Germans, the Spaniards to choose an Hohen zollern for their king, the Swiss to carry a railway over the St. Gothard, that nation, too ostensibly, makes a comprehensive claim for its own supremacy in Europe. Knowing German resolution and forti tude as he does, Von Sybel concludes his letter by saying that in directing appeals for moderation and concession to Berlin and Versailles, in stead of to Paris, the neutral Powers are not helping to accelerate the termination of the war. PIGEONS AT SIEGES. Carrier-pigeons have played an important part in other sieges besides those of Paris and of Metz. When Brutus was besiged in Modena, by Antony, he was informed through the medium of pigeons of the arrival of the Consuls llertius and Pansa. While the Crusaders were besieging Tyre, they per ceived a pigeon in the air, who appeared to be dir ecting his flight towards the town. The army raised such a shout that the bird was frightened and fell among the besiegers' lines. The message which he brought, came from the Sultan of Damascus, and announced that he was coming with all speed to the assistance of the city. The Bismarck of that epoch substituted for this message another despatch, announcing that the Sultan was himself very much pressed by the enemy, and was compelled to abandon Tyre to its fate. The pigeon was then released, and arrived in the town as the bearer of the false news. The garrison believed the intelligence which was thus communicated to them, and relying no longer on the assistance of the Sultan, which had been confidently looked for, surrendered themselves immediately to the Crusaders. THE ITALIAN MINISTRY. The disunion of opinions in the Italian Cabinet induces the belief that ere long there must occur a Ministerial crisis. The defections in the Cabinet are not wholly attributable to the line of policy adopted with reference to the Pope. Opposition is mani fested among the Constitutional majority by which the Lanza-Sella Cabinet has so far been supported. The Nazione reprints a lengthy address by Broglio, Minister of Public Instruction in the early part of the Menabrea Ministry to his constituents of Bassano, accusing the Cabinet of precipitation in going to Rome at all, and of rashness in persisting in a deter mination of removing thither the seat of Govern ment, placing Victor Emmanuel with his Holiness. On the other hand, Ex-Minister Bargonia taxes the Cabinet with not going far enough, and calls upon it to hasten the transfer of Rome. He suggests that in its respect for the Pope it is guilty of gross disrespect to the express provisions of the Charter and to the authority of the two Chambers. A third, and numeri cally stronger party of opposition in the old majority, consists of those politicians who declare that the Cabinet has committed an act fraught with the most serious consequences in having declared its willing ness to accept a collective guarantee, from all the powers having Catholic subjects, of those provisions for securing the spiritual independence of the Pontiff which Italy may propose to them. A proper appre ciation of the strong opposition which it will encounter has probably led the Ministry to depart from the resolution originally taken, and instead of issuing writs for a partial election of the additional fourteen deputies to represent Rome and the annexed Papal provinces, to dissolve Parliament and risk the verdict of a general election.

Heinrich Von Sybel, the distinguished historian of the Great French Revolution, writes from his chateau at Bonn on the Rhine, describing the opinions upon the war which he believes are now rife in Germany. Too well, he says, do the Germans know witli what infinite pain and sorrow their glorious laurels have been purchased. One determination, however, lives strongly in Prussian - minds. They have ardently desired peace, but whon war was threatened, they resolved that if forced into the strife by their French neighbours, old accounts should ne cessarily be revised, and that the southern provinces should, if possible, once for all and for ever, be GREEK BRIGANDAGE. Brigandage in Greece is still rampant. After the late fearful massacre of peaceful travellers, the civilized world expected on the part of the authorities systematised measures for the suppression of such atrocious ruffianism. That expectation has, however, been unfulfilled. Accounts which reach us, prove that the brigands are very active. The latest news from Greece, is that M. Philo, the deputy of Livadia, who was carried off from his house together with his companion, has been ransomed. The miscreants who captured M. Philo fell in with a detachment of seven gendarmes, but after a skirmish they succeeded in retreating with their prisoners. The following facts will chew what an institution brigandage is in Greece. Krikellas, a brigand chief, has been captured after an engage ment with troops, in which two of his band and a guide were killed. He has infested Mount Parnassus since 1865, and in order to prevent the country people giving information as to his movements he created a system of terrorism by murder ing them when suspected. A. letter from Locris declares that if the Chamber be dissolved, all Northern Greece will fall into a state of anarchy, and the brigands will be masters of the situation. All the officials of Livadia have been dismissed for negligence. Three brigands had been arrested who had been employed as guides in the force for the maintenance of public security. At Tripolitza an outlaw was resisted in an attempt to steal a sheep, by a shepherd. The latter was mur dered by the ruffian, who was captured by the brothers of the victim. At the same place an old man is supposed to have been murdered by his own son. Near Tegea a proprietor was murdered by a shepherd, and at Mantineia a shepherd shot a robber who attempted sheep-stealing. BOOK SALES IN AMERICA. Englishmen are not generally aware of the ex tent to which the passion for making rare and valuable collections of books is carried in the United States. Men of wealth and literary culture often vie with each other in the formation of select or comprehensive libraries, as the case may be. The existence of this taste is not a little remarkable among a people who are so conspicuous for their somewhat material energy and love of action. A private library just put up for sale in New York gives a good illustration of the character of these collections. Mr. White, to whom it belonged, was a devoted admirer of Shakspeare, and accordingly one section of the library was entirely devoted to Shakspearian literature. There were two tine reprints of the first folio edition, and an almost unbroken.series of all the other editions, the commentators of all times and nations being also represented. There are many very old books in the catalogue, among them a copy of Froissart in Gothic letter, Paris 1518; a black letter copy in folio of the "Chronicles of Edward Halle," 1548, to which Shakspeare was indebted for some of his material, and a black letter copy of "Holingshed's Chronicles," 1580 -7. Besides these there was a perfect specimen of early Venetian printing, a Florentine history dated 1470, and an especial political and literary curiosity, a copy of "Le Livre Rouge," printed in red ink, con taining a list of the secret pensions paid in France before the great Revolution. This is the only copy of the book in America. Mr. White seems to have exerted himself to procure early editions of cele brated works. The books were 6,500 in number. AN EXTRAORDINARY SCENE. A discreditable scene occurred at Newcastle the other evening. A gentleman named M'lntyre seems to have incurred the displeasure of a certain section I of the inhabitants in consequence of his appearance as a candidate for municipal honours. He announced his intention to give readings from the poets Moore, Byron, and Burns, and at the appointed time took his place in the lecture-room. He was greeted with cheers, intermingled with cat -calls and loud cries of "chair, chair•" The latter cries signified the determination of the motley audience which had assembled that the proceedings should not commence without a chairman. After a period of the wildest uproar and confusion, Mr. Wardle, a person described as of the "Half Moon" celebrity, took the chair and coolly filled his pipe. This abonimable conduct greatly disconcerted the would-be lecturer, who, nevertheless, attempted to proceed. He was then assailed with sqUibs and peas, and overwhelnied with confusion and despair, he beat a precipitate retreat from the room, his. flight greatly impeded by the multitude of books he had supplied himself with. -AL^.4l l .'4 4, fra C 60,1 -14r 'f*-,„0,r-i4k • 44. 4 HER .11 - AJEST Y. BALIVIORAL, OCT. 31. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Beatrice, drove out. The Marchioness of Ely was in attendance. The Marquis of Huntly came over from Aboyue Castle, and had the honour of an interview with her Majesty. Thu old Highland custom of All Hallow-e'en was kept, as on the previous years, in the evening, by forming a pro cession with lighted torches, after which a bonfire was lighted and reels dameed in front of the Castle. Professor Lister, Surgeon Extraordinary to the Queen, left Balmoral. The Right Hon. Edward Cardwell had the honour of dining with her Majesty. The Princess of Wales di•ove out yesterday, attended by the Hon. Mrs. W. Grey. Tn . E LORD MAYOR'S SHOW. It is said to be likely that the Lord Mayor's procession to 'Westminster on the 9th inst. will go by way of the Embankment, instead of along Fleet-street and the Strand. THE OPENING OF TERM. Yesterday being the first of Michelmas Term the Lord Chanceller entertained the judges, the Q.C.'s, and other notable personages connected with the administration o the law, at his house to breakfast. During the morning the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, the Recorder, and several members of the Corpora tion, waited upon his lordship, for the purpose of presenting to him Mr. Alderman Dakin, the Lord Mayor elect for the ensving -'ear. The Recorder said that Mr. Mr. Dakin had long been connected with the commerce of the city of London, and Was now the head of a large estab lishment in the city, and by an honourable course of industry he had raised himself to wealth and distinction. In 1861 he was elected alderman of the ward of Candlewick, and in 1861 served the office of sheriff.—The Lord Chancellor said he had long been acquainted with Mr. Alderman Dakin's honourable career, and it gave him pleasure to signify her Majesty's approval of the choice of the citizens. —After the breakfast, the Lord Chancellor, the Vice- Chancellors, and the common law judges proceeded towest minster Hall to open their respective courts. There were pre sent—the tbreeVice-Chancellors, Lord Chief-Justice Bovill, Justices Keating, Smith, and Brett ; Lord Chief Baron Kelly, Barons Bramwell, Channell, Pigott, Cleasby, the Justices of the Queen's Bench, and most of the Queen's Counsel, and Sergeants. The attendance of the public, though large, was not so great as usual. THE LONDON 30:100L BOARD. There are now in the field 130 candidates for the London School Board ; the latest, and not by any means the least presentable, being, it is said, Lord Edmond Fitzmaurice, the only brother of the present Lord Lansdowne, and M.P. for Caine. He is a young man of studious habits, good abilities, and very decided Liberal principles ; and as a representative of the Whig interest, which is chiefly concentrated in Belgravia and Mayfair, he has naturally been thought of for West minster. Lord Sandon and Mr. W. H. Smith expect to be returned by the Church party, and the fourth and fifth seats for the palatial city will be fought for by Mr. W. Baxter, as Conservative economist • Mr. Sapwell, the builder, of the same party; the Rev. Dr. Rigg, a Wesleyan ' • Mr. Mudie, the bookseller, who is a Congre gationalist; and Mr. George Potter, as the nominee of the working men. The Pall Mall Gazette understands that Mr. Matthew Arnold declined to become a candidate for the School Board solely because, as a Government school inspector, he could not with propriety sit on a board the proceedings of which might come for review before his own depart ment. THE CAPTAIN RELIEF FUND. A meeting of the London committee of this fund was held at the Mansion-house yesterday, the Lord Mayor presiding. Alderman Sir Thomas Gabriel, Mr. Samuel Morley, M.P., and Mr. J. P. Gassiott, the sub-committee, to whom it was referred, to consider the draft scheme of the Portsmouth Committee, brought up a report in re ference to the distribution of the money now being sub scribed by the public. The report went at considerable length into the question of annuities to the relatives of the seamen and mariners lost in the Captain, and stated that the exact amount of money that would be required would have to be ascertained by competent actuaries. Mr. Gassiott said that taking the sum of £1,314 per annum as required for pensions to widows, and £l,OOB per annum as required for pensions to children, the amount of capital required would be £36,000. The case of other relatives the committee proposed to be left to the decision of the Portsmouth Committee, and the amount that would be required for them would be £23,000. That was beyond the £36,000. Against that there was a sum of £30,000 received at Portsmouth, and £2,340 received in London. He thought now that an estimate had been given an earnest appeal should be made, and he believed that money would flow in more readily than it had done. Some discussion took place, and in the result the report was approved of. A statement of the numbers dependent on those lost in the Captain, drawn up from applications received to the present date, formed a portion of the report. It was shown that the officers had left fifty relatives whose means of existence would partially, if not wholly,. be threatened by their deaths. The meu had left 102 widows, 88 sons, 80 daughters, and 117 other relations, who were all more or less receiving money from them when serving on board the Captain, awl would in consequence be liable to suffer very severely in a pecuniary sense. A second anonymous donation of £l,OOO has been received on behalf of Mrs. Gladstone's Convalescent Home at Woodford. THE RESERVE FORCES.—The first course of in struction held at Woolwich for the officers of the Reserve Forces (Artillery) terminated on Monday. Certificates of efficiency were awarded to the following, viz. :—Lieute nant-Colonel Creswick, 4th West York; Major Silver thorne, Ist Sussex ; Captain Maywood, 2nd East York ; Captain Hutton, 4th West York ; Lieutenant Spain, let Cinque Ports ; Lieutenant Curtis, let Middle;ex ; Lieu tenant Millington, 3rd Essex ; Lieutenant Miller, 3rd Middlesex. The Major-General commanding the district —Sir David Wood, K.C.B.—inspected the school on Saturday, and expressed his satisfaction at the progress made. The staff attached to the school were : Lieutenant- Colonel Woolsey, R. A. , Commandant ; Captain Nolan, 8.A., Adjutant. Eleven officers of the Reserve Forces attended. ARTIFICIAL LIMBS. —Thirty years ago it was con sidered an open question whether wood or metal was preferable as the material for artifical limbs, and during the Italian and American wars wood was on the,whole pre ferred. M. Pfister, of Berlin, however, employs tin and German silver. He won a prize while still a young man at an exhibition in Munich, in the year 1846, and since then ho has been constantly engaged in endeavouring to perfect the art. llis own sufferings—he himself is obliged to wear a false leg—enabled him to judge of what was really required, and by unwearyinv care and study he has at length succeeded in establishing a system which satisfies every d ema nd that can reasonably be made of an artificial limb. With one or his artificial thighs it is possible, not only to stand working the whole day, but also to walk for a considerable distance without support. Thus ho him se lf v i s it s hi s p a ti en t s on foot, and ascends three pairs of stairs without diffi culty. When the amputation h a s b e e n f avoura bl e , hi s artificial feet can scarcely be distinguished from real ones in quiet movements, and, except in rapidity of action, almost everything can be done with them, as well as with a natural foot. The distinguished mechanist is now en gaged in perfecting a new system which he hopes will greatly facilitate writing with artificial hands. 46Tonoz—KINAHAN'S I.L. Whisky. Depot.

THE Times' correspondent at Frankfort recently wrote a remarkable letter to prove that one of the objects of German statesmanship was to keep up ill feeling between this ccuntry and the great military power, The foreign policy of Britain, argued the writer, has of late years been governed to a great extent by considerations of justice and morality ; the foreign policy of Germany has been directed solely towards self-aggrandisement. Between these two courses there can be no sympathy. England is hated and despised throughout the Fatherland, and nothing that she can do can secure her German goodwill. This is a comprehensive conclusion, which we should be loth to accept in full. It is true that a military power which rises to greatness by fighting in its own defence, does not always confine itself to such legitimate exploits, and it is equally true that the protestations of German statesmen and professors about the abhorrence of aggressive war felp by their countrymen must be set down as a simple contradiction to established facts : but the sweeping inference that England is regarded as au enemy by Germany, because the latter has made up her mind to extend her conquests further, requires some further support. Nevertheless, it is a fact that we cannot please Germany. It is not because we have not trie hard. The slavish adulation of German success by a large portion of the British press is all that the most patriotic Teuton could desire. Our neutrality has not risen to German expectations, bUt it has fulfilled every condition of the neutrality laws. We have remained a passive bystander of the conflict, inter fering in no wise until this very advanced stage, and thou only when it was known that Bismanex as well as FAVI3E desired peace. Yet complaints, instead of thanks, are the only reward for an attitude which, it can justly be affirmed, has been both thoughtfully chosen and carefully Maintained. The carping spirit of dissatisfaction that animates the Germans is discernible as much in the utterances of statesmen us in the every-day ofinsions of the Press. Nothing, for exampl;), can be more remarkable than the style in which (Yount BI RNSTORFF has requested the British Government to forbid the exportation of arms. It may readily be conceded POLITICAL ECONOMY A:•D CONTROVERSIES. On Tuesday evening Professor Cairnes delivered at tb London University College, a lecture on "Politic? P:conciny in relation to some Modern Controversie s. , After alluding with regret to the general neglect ei the science of political economy at the Metropolito colleges, he combated the prevalent notion that Alia base' n the principle of Plisse:, fire. . Thoec ,s - 113 101 ' the laisiez faire doctrine assumed, he remarked, that viduals knew their own interests in the sense'in which they' were coincident with those of others, but that a fallacy against which in these days especially it 1 W necessary to guard. It was utterly untenable, as vi° shewn by the conduct of landlords not long since maintaining the corn laws, and now in creating sett le ' ments of their estates, which were opposed to the interests of society, and also by the conduct of trades unions, wh ich had passed rules against machinery and in favour of is" efficient manual labour. No one could seriously consid er the • present condition of the inhabitants of ti ll° island, where, though industrial freedom had fo r half a century had greater scope than in alsa ° ' t any other country, one in thirty of the population svo' s apauper, and the rest contented with laissez fatre. The able men who led the agitation for the repeal of the corn law' declared that workhouses would ere long become obsolete, but this part of the programme had scarcely been fulfilled . The rule of laissez fatre was, like other rules, liable to grel tt , exceptions, and must not be allowed to stand in the waY e ` practical mid industrial reform. But if political econowY were something else than the doctrine of laissez fair e what was it ? It was the science of wealth, and for the. 9e , who understood what science was in the proper sense el the term, that ought to be sufficient, but unfortnnat el Y many who perfectly comprehended the term, as aPPli ed to physical nature, seemed quite at a loss when it'' employed in reference to social existence. Political es ° ' nomy was a science in the same sense as astronoroY , physiology, or chemistry was a science, and it dealt with the phenomena of wealth as those other sciences d ealt with the phenomena of the physical universe. It stood neutral between competing social schemes, as CheraistrY stood neutral between competing plans of sanitary improve' ment ; it supplied means of estimating all social schem es ' but refused to identify itself with any. It had too oftes, made its appearance in the guise of a dogmatic code , c ; cut-and-dry rules, sanctioning one social arrangement any condemning another, requiring from men, not considers' tion, but obedience ; and when working men have beep often told that political economy was against them, it not unnatural that they should be against it. It was 0111/ when its benevolent bearing towards all sorts of men vu' ° recognised that the deep-seated prejudice against it of t Za most numerous class of society could be removed. conclusion, the Professor traced the present position France partly to the neglect of economic science. AV 11 ,. 3t , was it, he said, that led France to surrender her libel"), into the hands of a Saviour of society but the spectre °` socialism ? Economic ignorance produced socialise' socialism despotism, and despotism, combined with other Causes, war, misery, and ruin. The lecture was ePe u ts° l the public as well as students, and its close was follow ° by applause. CONFLICT BETWEEN ENGLISH A :51) HUNGARIAN SAILORS. A serious dispute has taken place between English n_l3l l Hungarian sailors at Turu-Severin, on the Hung ; a :Roumanian frontier. It appears that a number of s" had been ordered in England by the Hungarian Steati',: boat Company, and that when the ships arrived in he Danube the company made a deduction from 'tig stipulated price, on the ground that the 6114 1 i were not ready at the date agreed upon, 4 e that a 'fine was payable on account of the delay- English, however, refused to give up the ships unless the English, full price was paid, adding that any fines which might t , due should be made the subject of future settlement. `- 1 ::`,1 dispute soon. became so warm that the Englishmen an Hungarians came to bloWs.
