,moortant o, De- ditregarded 10 asl
much az some OF The land districts
would necessarily fall within that
section Of country, over which the
United States have for some years
exercised civil Jurisdictions but oyerI
which. there IS no doubtnthat the gov
eminent Of Texas, 50 soon as the linn.
its Of each country are defined, will
been manlestiy entitled. to the civil.
as well as the political jurisdiction
thereof.
Its to be deplored, that as soon as
soon as measures has been adapted by
the government Of the United States
on this subject, that the government
Of Texas was not apprlsed OF the fact,
or its agents near that government,
until the 9th Of June last, when q
communication was made to our a.
gent. BY the honorable Secretary Of
State, for the first time, Of the desires
OF that government.
Although authority was given to
4 the Executive of Texas, to appoint q
commissioner, for the purpose Of run
ming the line, in accordance with stlp-
uIations long since existing, yet no
appointment has been made: for the
reason, that no satisfactory lntelIl-
gence had reached this government,
4 in relrtion to the course which the
government of the United States
might persuc. No time has been lost
in communicating to our Minister at
Washington City, the course which
had been adopted at the last session
of Congress; as early as the 4th Of
August last, special communication
was made upon that subject by our
Minister; we are advised that he re-
ceiyed no response to his communists
ton. 1t is TO be hoped as the Con-
grcss Of the United States, is now in
session, that the subject Of the boun-
l., Diary line, will claim the promp &c.
+ ton Of that government, and that
= such measures will be adopted by Its
! functonarias. as will lead to a speedy
) termination of the subject, and obvi-
. ate all such ADVERTISEMENTS, as might
result from its further procrastnaton.
: Nothing | feel conGdent,- ON the part
of this government, will be omitted,
which can conduce to the amiable ab-
ustnent Of a matter so-desrable and
important TO the two countries.
As the land law, which has been re-
feered to, is necessarily connected
with this subject, it will be for the no
"orable Congress to determine what
modification reyislons may be proper
for adoption.
The period at which tic annual ses-
sion of Congrtss will take place beng
SO near at hand, it is presumed HAT
the present session w!i not adjourn
Iprevious 10 that time: Therefore have
abstained from submit ing any other
.Sub,ect5 for the present session. At
she commencement OF the next ses-
sion the executive will have in its
power to present to Congress the sit.
uatlon Of the country generally; and
to submit subjects connected Imme-
diately with the d fence Of the n tinn,
and its financial resources for their
action.
Whilst we invoke the continuance
Inf favors which have been conferred
upon US by an Almighty Being, and
render him our grateful homage, let
us remember that the important trust
IN which we are placed demand of us
'mceasIng exertions, to defend and
Ipreserve our independence by orr u
nlted efforts 10 promote the happiness
OF our constituents, and the prosperi.
ty and glory Of our country.

splcuous articles. He then went tol
