THE NEGOTIATION


The last evenings mail brings US some additional ar
ticles on the Treaty The IN. Union" gives
ther Version of the North Eastern Boundary although
we are disposed to rely upon The Union says,
awe understand that the Boundary question will be
satisfactorily adjusted G Britain will agree to the line
proposed and pay for additional transfer OF territory
the Caroline affair will be honorably settled and the
damages paid for and the right OF search in relation to
the suppression of the slave trade will take that drec-
ton called for by the dictates Of humanity, while at
the same time sustaining the honor Of the American
flag The President, throughout the whole negotla
on, has asked for nothing that Great Britain ought
not to grant, or this Republic accept-hs will
meet with the appreciation and grateful thanks of the
The Secretary Of State will show that he has, through
out The negotiation, consulted the honor and interests
of the nation. Nous Ferrons!
The National ln,elligencer Of yesterday morning
devotes another article TO 1.-THE Northeastern Bounda
ry-and says "Our paragraph in Saturday, paper,
respecting The Boundary Negotiation, turns out to
have been we'll founded. 1t is now generally known
that all the Commissioners from the two States inter-
ested in it have sgnifed their assent to the line
proposed. If no unforeseen unexpected difficulty
should arise, this very important transaction will
ere long receive its completion. What the line rgreed
on is, or what its terms conditions have not
yet learnt We take it for granted that all these
nlr and honorable: and they satisfactory TO the
parties principally concerned doubt not they will
prove equally 10 the country"
The ~ lnteigencer says, awe hear from nil sides,
and pleasure TO repeat it, that the President
has manifested sincere desire to arrange the questions
in difference between the w. States and England in
manner honorable and satisfactory" And it takes oc
casion 10 compliment the President in its way upon his
conduct Of our Foreign Relations.
