purposes Of earlier information. The diE
ference Of opinion which has taken plaza

RIVER, has rendered necessary fair dupII.
cate copies of all the proceeding,
Arguments, and documents, and these an
now making for each government, in [,
shape proper to be submitted to foreign
power.
Thi. is, OF course, work Of much la
bour, as there are, in addition to the re.
ports, proofs, and arguments, nearly forty
maps made by the surveyors who have
been employed under the commission; but
they will be completed before the close Of
the session Of Congress, and when deIiv.
cred, together with the opinions Of the com
