be called a tolerable good fair. There

frOm Brody and some Russians made
Iarce purchases of silk and other expen-

whole, a good fair, though some sold large
usntities of goods very cheap. The wool

The affairs of Norway oegin to excite
very Great attention, in consequence of
certain differences between the King and
the Norwegian Diet. The King, though
sensible of the defects of the Norwegian
Constitution has done every thing to en-
force the observance of it. Some ques-
tions have been brought before the Diet
which has given the i'll disposed Piausi-
bic pretext 70 proclaim loudly against the
King and Constitution. 1t Is stated that
the King has never had a wish to incor-
porate Norway with Sweden, and acting
on the principle of maintaining the indie
pendence given to the Norwegian nation,
lie is determined to oppose all innovations
that threaten the public tranquility, and
will use his utmost authority to suppress
them.

OF tie British ships Edward Ellice Lord

the American vessels which they may

His Majesty's ship Andromache, off
Cellao, Sth Jan. 1921.
GeRtiemeR.-I have to acknowledge
the receipt Of your letter Of the 29th uit.,
which is the first that has reached me;
anu have to inform you, that as soon as
lam in possession of any facts to prove
the property under your charge, (Which
has been detained by the CHILEAN squad
ron) to be bona fde belonging to British
subjects, | shah claim it as such, But
YOU must understand, that as my IN
struetions are particularly explicit in or
dering me to act perfectly neutral, can
not follow Captain Downes' plan of seiz-
ing your vessels by force, as such an act
would be a declaration ofhostilities on my
part against the CHILEAN government, who,
as a beiligerent power, have a right to
Cetain any suspected property, although
under neutral flag; and an attempt to
take it away by force would, according
to the laws of nations, condemn 1t In
toto as a prIZe.
Il am particular in mentioning these cir
eumStances to you, as you might other
wise expect more than |, or any other Off
cer, should be able to accomplish. In the
mean time shall protest against the yes
sells being detained here, instead of being
sent to Chill for adjudication as shall
also do of your boats and men being used
for wsvlike purposes (Signed)
