Border Clash with Raimorth 

      On March 10, forces of Raimorth and Corrasantish fought a brief battle about 10 miles inside the Corrasantish border. The fight began after a troop of Raimorian horse persued a pair of slaves seeking freedom across the border. This illegal incursion was blocked by a Corrantish patrol. When the Corrasantish forces refused to surrender the slaves the Raimorians attempted to seize them by force. In the battle which followed four of the invaders and seven Corrasantish defenders were slain before the arrival of reinforcements drove the Raimorians off. The fugitives were saved
      When word of the incursion was receives by Sembly, His Majesty sent Louis of Raimorth.

      The Raimorian ambassador released a statement which said, "Raimorth regrets that the friendship of our countries has been strained by the lies of two bandits who concocted this story to avoid Raimorian justice. This unfortunate incident points up the need for our countries to agree to extradite fugitives, no matter what tales of misfortune they tell."

      Raimorth has sought to change the extradition treaty with Corrasanti since 2508. Corrasanti will not return slaves who can reach safety within it's boarders. Raimorth claims that many fugitives slaves are in fact criminals.

Marriage Plan Falters

     It was announced on April 3 that talks to complete the treaty between Corrasanti and Mihran have broken off. No further meetings have been scheduled. The marriage of Princess Alice to Prince Conrad of Mihran that was to have sealed the agreement now in doubt. No reason for this change was given.

      Sir Tarquin Peil, the Prime Minister, declined to say more. His Excellency would only say that unforeseen difficulties arose. "Despite this unhappy turn of events, our two countries remain friends," he said.

      Informed sources have speculated that factions in Mihran opposed the marriage, but this is not certain.
