dated Washington, April 11, on the boundary ques-
which both those states are concerned. In this let-
what had been previously attempted to
ne dispute respecting the boundary, Mr. Webster says,

another, according to the spirit of the
.ant and other treaties; and the President has
it to be his duty, unless some new course should be pro-
sed, to cause the negociation to be resumed and pressed to
Ls conclusion. But I have now to inform your excellency
that Lord Ashburton, a minister plenipotentiary and special,

a negociation for such conventional line so soon as
'ent shall say that it is authorised and ready, on

embarrassment in the national finances had not been

itates had, it will be recollected, invited proposals for three
millions and a half of the twelve millions loan authorised to

The Secretary of the Treasury had, in obedience to the
.all of the House of Representatives, submitted his project
for a new revenue and tariff bill. The whole rate of duties
proposed in the new tariff is higher than those in any other
hitherto proposed. The secretary relied upon the
cs from the sales of the public lands to make up the

twelve millions loan over the three years to supply the

surrender the public lands to the Treasury, and it was,
