CONvICTS ESCAPED.

TRENTON, n. j. Aug. lion Monday
night last, PETER BERTRAND and JoHH SCoTr,
the former confined for robbing the mail, and
the latter for horse-steang, made their escape
from the Statc-P Prison, near this CITY. NLr.
LABAw, the Keeper, has offered reward Of
40 dollars for BERTRAND and 90 for SCoTr.
Or the particulars oft their escape, we are rot
sufficiently informed to speak but we u$,er-
stand 1t to be ascertained that they intended
General Jail Delivery but not being able 70
find the keys and fearful OF alarming the Keep
ers, should they proceed TO breaking the locks,
they thought it most prudent silently TO secure
their own retreat-which they did by scaling
the wall by means of cords or strings, which
they must have been provided with before
hand. [J'rue American,
Boundary Line.-The Board of Commits
sloners under the 9th Article of the Treaty OF
Client, has been several days in session in this
city, for the purpose of hearing the answers
OF the respective Agents TO fhe opening argu-
ments of each other, and have adjourned to
the next month, for the purpose of receiving
the replies, which will probably so far advance
the business, thai it will be ready for such
decision as the Commissioners NAV think
proper TO make.
We understand that some of those arru-
ments are of great length, and involve many
points, which OR readers would be hardly
able to understand, without more explanation
than we are able to give them. We learn,
however, that the principal points in dispute
are, whether the northern boundary of Maine,
is to be carried by the treaty, TO the north or
southof st. Johns river whether the state of
New Hampshire, or the Province of Lower
Canada, shall be entitled to the land lying
between the different sources of Connecticut
River; and whether the north line of New
York and Vermont, shall be again surveyed
and in what manner. These are mani(cstly
questions, which, if doubtful, are of great inn
portance, and which we hope will be settled
in way the best calculated to inspire conf
dence i'll this amicabIe mode of terminating
national controversies, such as in other ages
and other countries have generally found their
ultimate adjustment in appeals to force

some thousands of Judgments, il ought not 10
strike us with establishment that the 9Th vol.
of Munford should shew, that in two years
and more, SO of them were reversed. Desiuc.
from the 90 such rs were reversed for defects
IN the pleadings, or on points not occurring be-
low, or in consequence Oft the two courts judg-
ing from different data, or where the iudg
ments were rendered by defaut-and we shall
find that the circuit court judges are response
bic for fewer errors, than . PRIOR we should
think they would commit, considering the
disadvantages under which they are often OBJ
ligcd 10 give an opinion.
My object IS answered in making this gener-
al explanation. But, if necessary, could shew
that the statement contains several errors Of
detail, particularly III apportionnS the eases
reversed or affirmed, among the Judges. From
the second circuit, for instance, over which
JUDGE X. E. Parker presides, fo;,r eases, dur
ing the period embraced by the Glh Volume,
went TO the court of appeals, and the writer
hastily ascribcs all the judgments TO Judge
Parker, and says they were all reversed Bv
this statement the Judge is given more than
his due share. For it appears that two Of
these judgments were pronounced inthe spring
oil 1917 before he was on the bench, and ano-
ther ofthem, viz. Hunt and McCrca, is AN
Office judgment which he probably never saw.
In fact, the volume contains but one case deci-
ded by him, and that is the case of/DelorI
and Hayes, where the error complained of was
his refusal to continue a cause, on the applica-
ton of one OF the parties, for reasons stated in
the record.
If the opinions of the other Judges arccgua-
iy misrepresented, very little reliance can be
placed upon the accuracy of the apportion-
ment. IL might have been probably as well
TO dispense with it altogether, lest il might be
thought somewhat invidions. But as the au-
thor's intention doubtless was merely to shew
the glorious uncertainty of the law" not 70
draw odious comparisons. | will search no
further for mistakes which am satisfied he
had no design to commit.

and Gen. Bolivar had proceeded into the IN
terror In our extracts will be found the official
account ofthe battle of Carabobo, which does
not differ materially in substance from the
details already given. tits confirmed by this
arrival, that the attempt ofa negotiation, for
renewed suspension of arms, had complete
~ failed, owing TO the royalsts refusing TO ex-
tend 1t 10 Santa Fe, andto pat stop to the
inercilc9s operations cfthe guerillas, who con
tinued to butcher men, women, and children
without distinction.
BY the schr. Alexander, which arrived yes
terday from Rio de Ia Hacha, letters have been
received here dated the 5th inst which con
tain the following interesting intelligence.
BOca Chica has been taken by the Patriot
force that was bcsicgingit and all the prison

Force of 1000 infantry ard some cavalry, to
