IMPORTANT REPORT AND DRBATE.-The Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs this morning made
| a report in answer to the Executive and 9TH
er communications referred to the Commit
tee on the subject of the North Eastern boun-
dairy.
The Committee state that they have had
the same under consideration, and give their
reasons for not now reporting at length. The
reasons briefly are-that the subject is now
before the British Government for its con-
sideration. The proposition before that Gov

lead to the settlement of the question at is
sue. The difficulties in the way of an ami
cable adjustment will not be found to be so
great as have been anticipated.
The Report says a reply may be expected
