THE BOUNDARY

We understand that Mr.. Forsyth, Secretary OF State,
has transmitted to Gov Fairfield, the communication OF
Mr. Fox TO the Government of the u S. relating TO the
mission OF Col Nudge and Mr.. FeatherstoDhaugh, by
which it would seem that The object is substantially
what has been alleged in The English papers The BrI
fish Government experimenting that the negotiations re-
speeding the abshment OF Joint Commission for
running the line might not be terminated until near the
close of the present year. thought The mean time
might be probably spent by that Government in making
a Typographical survey, and in acquiring more intimate
knowledge Of The territory in dispute.

obtained copies of The following Correspondence which
has taken place between Sir John Harvey and Governor
Fairfield
