has just been received of the appointment

public. 1t is understood that thorough
survey Of the course of tho communication
is in preparation, and there is every reason
to expect tha, it will be prosecuted with
characteri,tic ehergy, especially when
that Government shall have consented 10
such stipulatlons with the Government Of
the United States as may be necessary to

prise. Negocie,ions are pend ing for the
Accomplishment; Of that object, and hope
is confidently entertained that, when the

performance OF the duties imposed upon
