Principle Not Affected by Oversight.

The correspondent says that the modifications necessary relate entirely to the naval holiday and do not affect the principle agreed upon in regard to capital-ship tonnage.
The Discussion on Ratio.
I now seems likely that a settlement of both questions may be delayed owing to the departure of Mr. Balfour to-morrow for New York for two ceremanist dinners. He will not be returning before Tuesday night. Discussions are proceeding to-day.
