}y this col re- pnndencr (be Mr. Stevenson and
Lori Paliner.un jus, pubished) it will appear that the
Boundary QUESTION placed at last IN lair train OF ne
gocaiion without any necessity for SPECIAL missI"n or
special minister. Indeed we never hesi'ned to believe
that Mr. Stevenson our able and popular minister IN
London was much more competent, from variety OF
circumstances 10 bring This kno,iy affair into avora-
bic train, than any thu, could have been sent
out The determination Of our Government not 10 send
q soccal minister, knew n very carly day, and

lion correspondents in Liverpool, although of
the Londnn papers-lhe Standard rather fipfsntly
called in question the accuracy Ci our Information on
that point.
:" On this important suhjsci the two countries have
now reached distinct point, and for much Of the good
feelings which expressed by the British Secretary,
feel indebted TO The un"eared efforts ct MI Ste.

Court OF ST James. No public func"nary has labor

native land, than MIR. Stevenson has done Soon after
his arrival IN London, lie pressed the BRUSH Govern.
10 open The .ociai"ns FOR the Boundary, and
had almost brought the affair 10 its present position,
when unforeseen difficulties n,erfered. and retarded his
progress the recent outbreak by Gov. Fairfield IN
Name assisted by the madcaps OF Congress, did not
affect the Of Mr.. Stevenson, btcanse he had
taken good care 10 prevent any Of these foolish events
from being misunderstood in England No American
minister in England enjoyed such substantial po-
pulariy as Mr. Stevenson has done-and TINS popularity
is not confined 10 the Government parlyIi peTVadts all
parties with the sole exception Of the Abolition party
which is one Of the bii,eres, and in England
His popular manners-hs ready eloquence-hs frank
and manly conduct, have made him quite avorie-so

of London the freedom of that rpoallon but the Con.

honor, although the Offer equal 10 the act
"Thus much for Mr. Stevenson. II This negotiation,
now transferred 10 this country, be managed with any
ordinary skill promptude ard prudence, cannot fail
10 have final settlement OF this long vexed question:

What now becomes Of the unus and beral clamor.
which was so recently raised by some of the Wing
presses agains, Mr. Stevenson? When the Lynchburg
Virenan charged him with doing nothing 10 adjust the
Boundary quesiion-and was indecent enough to insi'
nuate that he bad done nothing oil this time upon that sub
ec whilst he Teasing with Dukes and flirting with
Duchesses-When The Boston Atlas was also iiberal
enough TO charge him with ticking care OF the interests
OF the South about the shpwrecked slaves whilst he had
taken no step 10 secure the interests of the North and
the rights Of Maine-what to think of the jus
