of Mr. Everett as well from the very short period
during which his excelency has been in this coun-
try the presumption is that, for various satisfactory
reasons it has appeared that the disputed points be-

committed TO Lord Ashburton and the washington

from this country is of ITSELF piece OF marked re-
