ST.. Louis, Oct. &c.
We learn that Major Siblev, one Of the Com
mis-ioners appointed by Government to es;ab-
lish road from our western boundary to the con-
fines of New Mexico, and TO treat " ith the inter-
mediate Indian tribes for The uninterrupted use of
II, and Joseph C. Brown, Esq. the Surveyor of the
route, have reached our settlements. The three
Commissioners, with their party, left ST. Louis in
June, 1925, and proceeded that summer as far as
the boundary line of the United States on the Ar
kansas. at which place they waited until late in the
month of September, for authority to continue the
survey through the Mexica& territory. No per
mission being received, il Vas concluded betv cen
the Commissioners, thaC Mr.. S,bley and Mr.
Brown, the Surveyor, with ten men, should pass
over 10 the Spanish settlements, and winter and
that Cols. Reeves and Mather, with the remainder
OF the party, should return TO our own borders. II
appears, Mr. Poinsett, our Minister. found more
dhculty than was expected in obtaining the assent
OF the Mexican Government to the location of the
ROAD, and It was not until late in the summer of
this year, that order obtained to that effect
Under this order, Mr.. Sibey has surveyed the
western part Of the road, and connected it with
that run last summer.
From the known intelligence of the gentlemen
engaged in this expedition, we may expect consid-
cradle additions to our knowledge of this remote
country, both as to its geography and the pros
pect OF carrying on extensive and lucrative
! commerce with its Inhabitants
II Will be recollected that this is the party who
we've supposed to have been murdered by the In
dians; and we ieel much qualification in thus being
aoie TO announce their return. 1t yet remains
mystery, who composed the party said TO have
been cut oil; indeed we may well doubt whether
any occurrence Of the kind has taken place

Editors thus reply to their correspondent.
- The facts about Mr.. Randolph's speeches are
easily stated; and the simple statement of them will
be our all-suficient Justification.

to those previously published, were written off,
and placed in his hands tor revison before the 10Th
OF April last. When about half of these tran

than to say that it did not concern either u, or
