man, the Director of the Mint, will, it is

ever loss there may be from the honest

A Madrid special to the New York Herald
says: Further complications have arisen from
the interference of the Prussan frigate in
Spanish affairs. Eight hundred Spanish
sailors, who were sent by the Government
from Alicante to Escambrata to take posses
sion of the iron-clads Vittana and Alamanca,
were refused possession by Capt. Werner on the
ground that there was no authority from BERLIN
to deliver them up. The sailors were obliged
to remain in position where they were men-

brought them. The insurgents declared that
the steamer must leave Escambrata, or they
would open fire upon her without regard to the
Russians. Thus by small degrees Werners
