NJ, de Narcere is showing great Parlia-
mentary ability in the French Senate, in
his new character of Minister Of the Inte-
rior. Nothing could be better than his
reply to M. de Franclieu's Interpolation
last week, as to the meaning put by the
late III, Ricard in his circular, on the
Revision clause Of the Constitution. NJ.
de Marcere pointed out that this clause
was moved by NJ, Casimir P6rier, who GER
tainly did not intend to overturn the Con-
@sitution in advance, and that its true in-
%tention was to provide for qualification
without "r%eyolution." Ga Wednesday, a
similar Interpolation was made in the
Chamber OF Deputies by M. Paris, aud NJ.
Dufaure delivered a speech couched in
very much the same tone as M. dc
Marcere's, Nobody, he said, had any inten-
ton Of finding fault with inward hopes,
where not SO manifested as to disturb the
public peace, but public functionaries
must not connive at plots against the Gov
eminent they serve. 1t is clear that if the
Conservatives had had a majority, the
President would have been urged at once
to propose the revision of the Constitution
in a monarchical sense. And as it is, they
brood over the minute chance of a revision
in 1880, and cannot bear to have their
dreams called "factious hopes"
Mr.. Fish's Note to the American
Charge d'Affaires in London, in reference
to the refusal of the British Government
to surrender Winslow without an under
taking that he should not be tried for any
crime except that for which he is extradit-
ed, till he has been either restored to this
country, or given the opportunity of re.
turning here, has been published, and as
far as we can see. completely makes out
the case of the United States. Mr.. Fish
shows that Immediately after the Act of
1870 (33 and 81 Vic, C. 52I which inn
posed generally this limitation on the sur
render of criminals, was passed by the
British Parliament, the American Govern
ment called attention to the subject, and
expressly pointed out that it could not
assent to this limitation, and that, accord
ing to its view, the not very explicitly,ex-
pressed 9th Clause of the Act was intended
to sav the binding character Of all treatise
previously in force, without reference to the
new Limitation. In a note addressed to
Sir Edward Thornton, the British Minister
to the United States, on January 81, 1871,
this is expressly stated by the American
Government and that being so, it seems
clear that if our Government attached .
