These hopes were confirmed when we saw
that Il very large proportion of the creditors

The terrible slaughter at rlcyna during
the last week might certainly have been
avoided if the Russian Generals had read
with Intelligence the history Of the civil
war in this country. The Turks lay in

the defeat OF Prince SHAKOsKOI and Gen.

swept away by the storm OF bullets

Government has received the surrender OF

decision is one very fit tobc applied loeNery
treuty of cxtradition: namely, that when n
surrendered fugitive has been acquitted OF
the crime on account of which he was sur
rendered. he shall bc allowed tn return In
reasonable time, to the country which sur
rendered him, or TO leave the jurisdiction
Of the country which demanded him. II may
bo we'll enough to fix this time by a treaty
stipulation. Beyond this there is no nccrs-
sity for revision of any of our treaties of

crimes needs 70 be enlarged.
