Mr. Hoppin to the Marquis of Salisbury.

My Lord: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your lordship’s note of the 23d instant, upon the subject of the payment of the expenses in extradition cases, and expressing your lordship’s opinion that it will he more convenient to adhere to the plan hitherto pursued, that is to say, that each claim arising on a case of extradition should he preferred separately.

I beg to say that I shall fulfill your lordship’s request to invite my government to accede to this arrangement, which, I may be permitted to state, it has already virtually done, as will appear from my letter to your lordship of the 3d of October last.

I have, &c.,

W. J. HOPPIN.
