Weller's letters If recall may have been address
ed 10 San Diego. 1t appears TO be his opinion,
that II he be superseded, the com mission will be
broken up. and the boundary survey suspended
for an indefinite period. The Secretary oil Stale
had previously been warned upon This suelecI.-
|, is probable that the young men whom Colonel
We Ter selected from among his acquaintance
NAV feel under no obligations 10 remain with
any other commissioner. They are certainly
under strong inducements TO abandon that SER
vice, with The prospect held out 10 them by The
riches of the placers. The compensation which
they have received as employees OF The govern

lions of mioes In tns event, The government
will have 10 encounter an enormous expense, and
possibly some difficulty, in its arrangements with
Mexico.
The following article from the Boston Post
confirms this view Of the matter, and presents
new IDEA of the CoIoaes destination. Such an
appointment would place him in new drama
tic situation, that nigh. throw new interest upon
tho consequences OF bis removal:
Colonel W elle!, who hos teen superseded by
Col Fremont as Mexican boundary commits
sioner, will stand good chance 10 be United
States senator from California. II is reported
that the party engaged with him IN running ine
line would resign if b. were superseded. Tbs
would greatly increase The expense OF the com.
mission, and all 10 crafty the spite OF Gen.
Taylor against brave democratic cftcer IN the
