THE EXTRADITION WRANGLH
lBY CABLE TO THE HERALD

LONDON. Feb 10, 1871
There every indication that the entire scheme OF
the liberal party's attack upon the government a.
given IN tho HxRALD's cable letter OF Tues
day and Wednesday, will be carried out.
In the House OF Lords, yesterday aftor-
noon, the Duke Of Argyll gave notice that he
would on Tuesday next, direct attention to the gov
ernment's instructions to Lord Salisbury, regarding
the Conference and ask the government what meas
ures are contemplated for attaining the ends medi-
tated in those Instructions This will probably lead
the expected attack of the opposition regarding the
Eastern question.
sERvIA ABANDONED.
1t is believed in Belgrade that the Porte
will not claim the arrears Of tribute
from Serva II peace Is concluded. Tho n1@
preston is gaining ground that official Russia win
take no further interest in Servian affairs Peace
would be virtually assured but for tho influence Of
the Pan-slavic societies and tho conviction OF the
Cabinet that peace would result in It's overthrow.
INTERVIEWER
The Standards correspondent at Brindis reports
an interview with Mdhat Pacha, in tho course Of
which the latter expressed the opinion that there
would be no war.
RoUMANIA JOINS INTERESTS WITH RUSSIA.
A Vienna correspondent says that letters from
;Jassy state that the Roumanian representa-
tives abroad informed the various governments
been able to secure the protection Of the
Powers for her neutrality, could help concluding
convention permitting the passage Of Russian troops
through her territory under certain emergencies.

THE PORTE AND MONTENEGRO.
A despatch from Constantinople says the Grand
vizer renewed the request to the Prince of Monte
negro that peace negotiations be carried .ese-
where than at Vienna. The Prince replied that
he preferred Vienna but to prove his desire
conciliaton he proposed Cattaro. The Porte de-
cined this and asked the Prince to choose scutari
or some place In Herzegovina. CORE.
spondent Ut Vienna says the communication
of the Prince OF Montenegro to the Porto
accepting the conditions which the Porte proposed
to negotiate is couched in the most obiging terms,
although the Prince and the Porto still differ as to tho
place where the negotiations are to commence. The
former would have objection to transferring them
to Cons,antnoplc II there fair chance Of coming
to an understanding.
RUSSIA TALKS PLAINLY.
The same correspon calls attention 70 signini-
can't letter ST. Petersburg, published by the F-
itical Correspondence, and probably intended az
feeler and reminder by the Russian gov
erument This letter. discussing the reports
that the answers to Prince Gortschakof'a
circular will probably be evasivc, will recommend
further delay says delay may suit the English policy,
| or that OF somo other Power, but IL is n<
| compatible with the interests of the Cabneta
| Immediately interested IN the Eastern question.
Russia has to maintain largo army
on tho frontier and is forced to increase it in

peace Railway traffic is interrupted; commerce has
ceased, and credit is shaken There is no export trade
| Socialism is encouraged BY this state OF affairs

suicidal policy, to continue to injure tho coun-

Russia in preventing the recurrence Of

constant fcar OF war and internal commotion. IL
concludcs:-The waiting policy OF Europe
brings the alliance OF the three Emperors
into the foreground Within the last few
days thcre symptoms indicating that the
policy OF Germany is closely joined to tha,
of Russia In these circumstances it may
found to get tho desired guarantees in .
form corresponding with the interests Of
both Russia and Austria The Times' corre-
spondent remarks that the above letter may bo
taken with toerabc certainty as semi-ofcial hint
that Russias position is becoming moro and moro un-
tennblc and that she cannot wait much longer, but
must 20 forward backward.
THE czAR
According to accounts from St. Petersburg tho state
ment OF tho Russian circular that the Czal
had suspended nis final resolution awaiting the
decision OF tho Powers, more than
a phrase OF diplomatic courtesy. He is averse "a
war as ever. lilo has by no means rclinquisbed
hope that withdrawal by honor Is possible, and
he reckons that the Powers will assist him
in their own interest well as that Of Europe Those
who agree with tho Car consider that tho fall o
Midhat Pacha shows that war is unnecessary now.
THE ExrRADITIoS ARGUMENT
Additional correspondence in regard to tho recen,
oxtradion difficulty between Great Britain ana the
United States is published Among the most import
ant dispatches is one from Secretary Fish 10 Minister
Pcrrcpont dated August g. 1876, In which the former
explains that SIR Edward Thornton mistaken IL
informing tho British government that he (Mr. Fish
had stated Lawrence arraigncd held ba,
after extradition for any crime except for which
he was surrendered.
Lord Derby, on October H. instructed Sir Edward "a
inform Mr.. Fish that England, as a temporary
measure was prepared to surrender accused persons
without asking an engagement as to the orence
lor which such persons would be tried. Lord Dcrb,
, at the same time declared that Tho English govern
only continue to carry out this arrangement
long as no attempt Is made to try person thus sur
rendered for any other offence than that for which h
is cxtraded
Mr. Fish replied that on indication Of the readiness
OF Great Britain to surrender winslow, Brent an,
Gray he would be glad to in this arrangement
8 Meanwhile both governments reserve the right Sc
cured them by article IL to abrogate article 10 at AM
time, and both give notice of their continued adho
to their respective views to the Interpretation
0 OF tho treaty.
Mr.. Fish informed Sir Edward thornton that. Will
he regretted his inability to persuade the English gov
i ernmcnt to adopt the American view, he was glad {,
h know that earnestly each side had presented IL
own views, the manner Of presentation had created
i irritation and left no cause OF complaint.
