inghow only able TO give the heads of the
4 correspondence from recollection. We be.
.lieyenothng of importance has been omit
ted, and are certain that what is given is
given correctly. When the letters them.
sels's appear, we think it will be found that
thoe of Lord AAsHBuRToN are remarkable
| for heir simplicity and clearness and an
apprent righteousness and openness Of
purpose. Those of Mr.. WEBSTER are, we
noel scarcely say, able and powerful, but
the have a certain air of showiness and
strning for effect about them, which will
strike rather grating on a critical ear
| The first letter of Lord AsnDuRroN is up
on the subject Of the N. +. Boundary lie
lpriesses a deep interest in the welfare Of
tbs country, and an earnest desire to pre-
seve peace between the two nations. In
| prof of which, he refers to the fact that he
hid sought strenuously to prevent the last
wr between England and the United States,
aid that he has since anxiously watched,
whatever passing clouds have arisen, TO
threaten an interruption Of the harmony
bdween the two nations. He adduces also
III, circumstance of his undertaking this
MISSION at his advanced age, as evidence of
tlr existence of those friendly sentiments,
wen his taste and incinatons would have
suggested peaceful retirement
Mr. WEBSTER replies, acknowledging the
fiendly feelings of his Lordship, stating that
the President was aware of all his efforts in
Iyor of peace, and invites his Lordship to
'cgia tie taik--to which his Lordship re-
,lies waving all advantages which might be
derived from declining to make the first
move, and openly and frankly stating his
case, drives at once, in mediaS res lie en-
deavors to avoid the discussion of the ques-
tion right, saying, that there can be no hope
that either party will be convinced that the
right of the question is not with himself
Mr.. WEBSTER replies, but goes fully into
the matter, which his Lordship had desired
to avoid the arguments used by Mr. Web
ster are however familiar to all who have
paid any attention to the subject
This matter of the Boundary is fully dis
cussed. Several long and able documents
from the Maine and Massachusetts Com
missIoners follow, the substance Of which
we cannot undertake to state. Lord ASH
BURTON evinces an intimate knowledge of
the subject, and handles it ably. The result
Is, proposition by Mr. WEBSTER, which is
nearly that finally agreed to.
Then comes the subject Of the African
Slave Trade, which is disposed of without
difficulty, in the manner the treaty shows
There is some correspondence with Com
mander PAINE and other naval officers. who
have been stationed on the African Coast.
&c. &c.--not now of such interest that we
have burdcned our memory with it.
The Creole case is presented in strong
terms by Mr.. WEBSTER in a letter, (Which
when published, will bring all the ant-slave-
ry people about his ears to which Lord
AsIiDURToN replies, that, as the news of the
matter of the Creole had reached England
but shortly before his departure, and as it
had not previous to that time, presented TO.

Mr. EVERETT, he was not empowered to
treat upon the subject.

Britain recognize as free, every slave who

ne'Sh6oTAood" between them and the United
States.
The matter of the right of search and
lmpressment, is also proposed by Mr.. Web
'ter. TO this also his Lordship replies. that
he has not authority to make any stipnla-
hons upon that subject. That the peculiar
