as Scotland in the selection of • royal residence for • portion

AUSTRIAN HOSTILITY TO ENGL&III2
Asa specimen of the kind of stories just aer
afloat in the German press, and of the vindictive
language used towards England, we translate the
following passages from the Botadtafter of the 14th
instant :

The more we gather al the details al the naval engage-
meet of the 9th of May * better sae we dimes the
ignominy of the wan* of the English. "We are a sateen
of pbuies i " exclaimed Urquhart is • rare moment of
lucidity which he had at • meeting in London. The English
have again behaved like pirates. After the Bleak Eagle
had kept on the look-out and annotweed to the DUNS the
approach of the Anstro-Pruseiso squadron, the Aware took
on itself to accomp►ny its friend' the Dame, sad for • long
time to prevent by its manoeuvres the Eedetcki from
taking en active part in the combat. Never to. • several
flog been se shamefully abused ; never was intermit/sal law
treated with Inch deriaioa. Germany will sever forget the
9th of May. We saints in our memory this day, which
puts the climax to all the outrages, to all the insolent acts
of England against the German natio.. The English have
now rocateded in kindling against them • fire of hatted from
one mid of Germany to the other. They have wished it-
-Ist them take the oonesquenoce. A day will corns in which

we shall cut up accounts with our arrogant neighbour"
woes the ChanneL It will not be so difficult, is is imagined,
to take our revenge on the English. To do it, we have only
to mooed the policy of France in the Mediterranean and in
the Levant. For this price we shall be sun of en under-
standing with France, and it will only cost us the surmount-
ing al a few prejudices.

As will have been seen already by telegram, the
Austrian admiral who commanded the squadron
has not allowed the absurd story as to the Aurora
to go unoontradiated. In a letter to the Baran-
hal& he states that during the whole of the contest
the Aurora was at anchor.
