Hicks has made what purports to be a full
lession OF his many crimes, which is published to-
day by R. M: Dewitt. This phamphet is issued for
the benefit OF the wife of the murderer, to be
MS widow, the copyright being secured to her.
This confession is no doubt very much exaggerated
1t has been prepared for the press by gentleman
employed by Marshal Rynders for that purpose.
BY his own account, Hicks has been a sort of cred
Avenger ofthe Spanish MAN," having perpetrated

Thompson and Georgiana, and provisions for
Joint commission for the settlement of all outstand-
ing claims of our citizens. Some delay had, how
ever occurred in consequence of the resignation of
the Peruvian Minister of Foreign Affairs, and it
was not improbable that our Government would
be compelled to resort to force before the demands
| would be complied with. In case of non-compll-

American Minister instructed to close the lega-

been notified that, unless his Government accepts
