The claims of indemnity to numbers of fellow cit
liens for depredatons upon their property, heretofore
committed during the Revolutionary Governments, still
remain unadusted, and still form tie subject Of earnest
representation and remonsrance. Recent adyces
from the Minister Of the United States at Paris en-

of the French Government will long receive IA
rolable consideration.
The last friendly expedien has been rcsorted to for
the decision of the controversy with Great Britain,
relating to the Northeastern boundary OF the United
States by an agreement with the British Govern
ment, carrying into effect tie provisions of the fifth
article Of the Treaty Of Client, and the Convention
OF 23h September, 1927, his Majesty the King Of the
Netherlands has by common consent been selected
the umpire between the parties. The proposal to him
to accept the designation for the performance OF this
friendly Office will be made at early day, and the
United States, relying upon the justice of teir cause,
will cheerluy commit the arbitrament of it to Prince
equally distinguished for the independence of his spr-

led system Of Colonial exclusion has not secured to
Tie shipping interest of Great Britain the relief which,
at the expense of the distant colonies, and Of the
United States it was expected to afford. Other mca-
sures have been resortod to, pointedly bearing
upon the navigation of the United States, and which,
unless modified by the construction given to the recent
Acts Of Parliament, will be manifestly incompatible /
with the positive stipuations of the commercial con-
