SPECIAL Mission TO ENGLAND.-It
is announced in the Globe of last even
ing that the President has determined
not to send special minister to Eng
land, at present; and the Government
paper appends TO this annunciation, ex-
tracts from The correspondence between
Lord Palmerston. and Mr.. Stevenson, as
explanatory of the views of the two
governments upon the subject.
From this correspondence. it appears
that MIR. Stevenson apprized Lord Pal
merston, i'll an official note, of the pros
vision made by Congress for such mis-.
sion, If in the opinion of the President
1t should be deemed advisable. He al
so gave assurance ofthe Presidents will
l!ngness 10 institute such mission, and
thus change the place of negotiation,
winch had heretofore been agreed on,
from Washington to London; provided
1t should be agreeable to her Mai esty' s
Government to do SO, and would, In
/ their opinion, be the means of fastening
or facilitating the final adjustment ofthe
controversy.
Lord Palmerston, in reply, declared
that her Majesty's government consid
cred the communication which Mr..
Stevenson had been Instructed TO make
upon the subject Of the special mission,
as "a fresh proof OF the friendly DISPOSE
ton OF the President, and of the fr.nk-
ness which It's hoped will always char.
acteriZe the Intercourse between the two
Governments - and he fastened TO re.
ply TO that communication, Gin the same
spirit, and with the same frankness. ;"
His note then proceeds to state tina,
Maine having refused to agree to a con
ventiona! line; and that there appear
ing no present means OF adjusting the
vexed question, in manner satisfactory
to both parties, except by fresh survey
OF the territory, SO as if possible to trace
upon the ground Itself the treaty line OF
l7S3-and e messenger having been
despatched to Washington for the pnr-
! pose OF suggesting such a proceeding,
aud OF fixing its pFeliminaries; it is for
these, and other good reasons assigned,
deemed best By her Majesty's Govern
ment, and most likely 10 conduce TO Il
favorable and satisfactory result, to con-
tinue The seat Of the negotiations. as
they have begun, at ashington. Thus
| stating, without reserve, the impressions
OF The British Government upop the
measure, the decision ofthe matter " as

ion has been as above stated.

GEO. *. HARPER, Esq, the veteran

well for his superior qualifications, as for
the vast amount of service rendered to
the country, in the various high official
stations which he has filled" But the
