the products amount TO three hundred millions
per annum The fabrics of Lyons yield about
or nearly two third Of that sum--a moicty OF

by the English, they refusing to pay the duty
enacted by Honduras, on The ground that the
place belonged to the Mosquito King, which
Honduras always denied.
The English cutters were driven off-the Eng.
lish flag hauled down, and the Honduras troops
permanently stationed there. The mission Of
the British steamer Devastation" mt Truxillo,
was 10 demand the immediate withdrawal Of the
troops from Limas, with the intimalion that if
the demand was not complied with by y o'clock,
the English commander would proceed TO re-
move them by force. He also stated that Il
claim for damages to English subjects, in con.
sequence of their having been driven off. would
be made He likewise demanded that English
subjects should not hereafter be intcrferrcd with.
The commandant Of Truxillo complied with the
demand under protest, and the troops at Limas
