should not be harborcd. In accordance
with the special wish of The Sultan the
imperial court abandoned it's right to
q demand the extradtion of the Ggitves,
@nithnngh the meaning Of treaties clearly
! gave him the necessary power in the case
4 But it is for this that the Austrian cabinet
must, with so much the more instance,
{ dwell IN the following cIauses ofihe treaty
of Belgrade, which (clause lS) says:
..NVhen such rebels fly into The Turkish
States with the intention Of conccallng

out and cause them to be punished; and
sSalso when the said rebels aud criminals
: shall show themselves renrn,ani and
{ promise better behavior tho Porte is not to
S4heIieve them, and confine them in place
distant IRON the frontier
Nothing can be clearer or more distinct
than this clause. Yet not only did tho
Imperial Court abandon its rights
e0nfirtned in those declarations Of the
treaty, but showed itself inclined to come

TO the confinement (ntcrnirung) of the
fugitives. What did the Porte to further
so friendly disposition? She per-
tinacionsly fixed imi, of twelve month,
and forced The Imperial Court to consider
as of non-effect the negotiations relative To
a limitation Of tho period Of Imprisonment.
and TO take its stand upon the terms Of
existing treaties, namely, those which had
previously been concluded by the two

WHY that tho Porte, in order to strengthen

lis readiness 10 come tn n friendly nm
drrsthndiDg with the imperial court before
it set the captiyes in question free, and that
tho imperial government should therefore
eSpress its views in the matter, and com
mnnicaie its determination.
It's clear, then, that, according to the
declarations Of thn Sultan md of his
ministers, tie meaning of these words
cannot be understood by the Imperial
chbinet..or any impartial parties. in any
other way than that the conlinemen,
