additional article to the convention for the surren
der of criminals between the United States and

cluded and signed at Washington, by their respec-
tive plenpotentaries, on the 2ith day of Februa-

English and French languages; is, word for word,

A Strange DelusiOn.

A London paper says, that Mr.. Tucker, who
was recently under commission of lunacy, de-
clared ofunsound mind, is firmly convinced that he
has several men in his inside, who are complete
masters over him, and that, unless he does what
ever they wish, his death will be the consequence.
He believes that they have FIVE machines, which
they set to work at one time, so that he is
afraid the violence of the motion would shatter
him to pieces. They will not allow him TO move
without paying an enormous sum, and for the
walking to the inquiry he conceives they charged
him three thousand trilIions for every step he
took
