stood to recede from the Interpretation |

put upon the treaty but having regard to the |
prospect Of a new treaty and the power |
denouucing the old one, caused the re-arrest, |
on the 4th inst, of Brent, one of the |
fugitives who had been previously dis |
charged, and after waiting the requisite |
time in which the fugitive is entitled to
apply for his discharge, on the 2lst inst |
surrendered him to the agent appointed on
behalf Of this Government to receive and
convey him to the United States. As this

abstain from making demands on Her
Majesty's Government for the surrender OF
fugitive criminals, nor from entertaining
requisitions of that character from that
Government, under the treaty OF '42, but
will again regard the treaty as operative,
hoping to be able before long to conclude
with Her Msjesty's Government new
treaty, of broader and more comprehensive
nature.
