THE SUN.
LONDON, SATUN,DAY, FEB. 9, 1881.

The statement of Lord PALMERSTON in regard to
ANDERSON, whose extradition is demanded by the
Slave State of Missouri, will be read with plea-
sure by all. It will be seen that the case is in
hands as safe as could be wished. First, the Duke
of NEWCASTLE wrote on the 9th of January to the
Governor-General of Canada that he was not to
surrender ANDERSON to the United States except
under positive instructions from our Government,
Next, Lord PALMERSTON corrected the preva-
lent but erroneous impression that the deci.
sion of the Court of Queen's Bench in
Canada involved necessarily the surrender
of ANDERSON ; whereas, it merely affirmed
that he was lawfully in custody. The refugee
could be surrendered only by the warrant of the
Governor-General of Canada. Lord PALMERSTON
thought it did not belong to him to give any
opinion on the view the Canadian Court would
take of a Habeas Corpus issuing from our Queen's
Bench in England, but it was certain that if AN-
DERSON came to England he could not come
through American territory. He used rather
strong terms respecting the ASHBURTON Treaty,
saying that in reference to this subject, it was
" imperfect and unintelligible ;" but he thought it
quite clear that it required that the offence should
be recognised by the laws of this country, and that
such proof of it must be given as would warrant a
justice of the peace here in committing him for
trial. Without entering into the question whether
lawyers here would regard a free man's killing
another who attempted to reduce him to slavery as
murder, manslaughter, or justifiable homicide, he
thought no English lawyer could regard it as mur-
der ; if so, no case for extradition could be made
out. It is now, therefore, little more than a mat-
ter of legal curiosity to see how the courts will
arrange their jurisdiction in the business. It is
also not a little amusing to think of the position of
a Slave State urging Mr. LINCOLN to demand the
surrender of a fugitive slave from England ; Mis-
s°ll:l, perhaps, being one of the border States, and
with comparatively few slaves, only about a seventh
of the Population, is not likely to persist very long
in the original demand.

Nothing remains now to be done by the French
troops in Syria but to evacuate it. The sti-
pulated period of six. months, set apart by
the general Agreement
of the chief Powers
of Europe as the interval during which that
province of the Turkish Empire should be
occupied by the soldiers of Prance, is at this
time uper,q the eve of expiring.
b
And the object
of the occtipation has not only long since been
accomplished quite effectually, but it may be said
to have been virtually accomplished before the first
portion of the Fren ch expeditionary force had
beE n disembarked up( )n those shores of the Levant.
It was virtually al re adY assured to Europe even
