I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the extradition of Jabez Balfour has been granted or decided on, the proceedings at Salta notwithstanding?

SIR E. GREY

said, that the officers had gone to Salta in expectation of the surrender of Jabez Balfour. They would communicate by telegraph from there, and as soon as they did so he would be glad to give the information.
