The Extradition of Mazzini,

Can the extradition of Mazzini from England be
demanded at our hands by the French Govern.
_tent ? The Law limes of to-day argues in the
negative thus distinctly as follows :—" The Paris
Papers, Particularly the Gazetse de France, attach
g!greet importance to this fresh sentence against
azzjui, inasmuch as they think it enables the
French Government to apply for his extradition, or
at least his expulsion from England. Both, we
may take the liberty of informing the French law-
3.ers, are out of the question. The convention be-
tweenV, the Queen of this country and the King of
the French, of the 13th Feb,, 1843, was, that the
contracting parties should, on requisition made in
taheir name, through their respective diplomatic
gents deliver up to justice persons who, being ac-
e4sed of the crimes of murder (comprehending the
trate, designated by the French penal code by the
terrnB, assassination, parricide, infanticide, and
!"e.lsoning),or of an attempt, tocommit murder," corn-
Jaunted within the jurisdiction of the requiring
Party, should seek an asylum or should be found
within the territories of the other." Accordingly
the 6th and 7th Vict., c. 75,', for carrying the Con-
ention into effect, provides for the surrender of
PerBo" who, being accused of having committed
murder or of an attempt to murder within the
territories and jurisdiction of the King of
thed French, shall be found in the Queen's
Anions. The Act omits the words " seek an
ralln," which are in the Convention. Probably
ornament was jealous of words which have a
Political rather than a criminal association. But
there can be no doubt that the Act, as well as the
Convention, speaks of persons only who commit
Ns
'lthin the French jurisdiction the crimes specified,
(pitting that jurisdiction, flee to, and are found in
the British dominions. If it was from the brewery,
..11(1 from Thurloe square, or any other place in
-London, that Mazzini pulled the strings (if he did
8,0 at all), clearly he is not a person within the
Convention or the Act.
AS to expulsion from England, unless in the
"eention of a sentence of penal servitude, there is
no

thing, an Act (11 Viet. c. 20) was passed giving to
I," Secretary of State who, on authentic written in-
inrmation, believed such a step expedient for pre.
t.Serving the " peace and tranquillity" of any part of
the realm, power to order the removal of any alien.
But
that Act was made to continue only to the
