Col Weller has already drawn from the Treas
ury $50, 900 out of the $4,000 appropriated by
Congress for the boundary survey ; and this vast
sum does not cover the salaries Of the corps since
March last. This was drawn before he left Pana-

has gone to San Diego at alton the contrary there
strong reason for believing that he has gone to San
Francisco. Drafts from him, independent of the

been protested by Mr.. Clayton--making a total Of
