TIE BOUNDARY QUESTION.
On tho 7th May, Lord John Russell gave
ms promised explanation, rs follows
have some doubt how far it is consist
.cnt with my duty 10 answer the question
which the honorable gentleman has just
put TO me; but no doubt there is consider
able anxiety on the subject, and as papers
upon the subject have been published in
the United Suites, | think it would be de-
sirahIe TO give general outline Of the
state in which the question now stands be-

were appointed by tho Government of Great
Britain, who had surveyed the disputed
country, and had arrived in this country
IN January last. Their report was rccciv-

OF very considerable Importance, aud is
now under the consideration ofthc Govern
mcnt, and an answer will b. Immediately
returned to the last proposition made by
the Government Of the United States, in
forming them how far we can fail in with
The proposition they las, made
This is the only answer | can give ut
present upon this subject. With respect
10 the question relating TO the provisional
agreement of last year, il is unfortunate
that it is almost entirely upon it that recent
difficulties have arisen. The agreement
proposed by General Scott, and agreed TO
