live ON this continent. This gentleman assigned
large portion of his interest to an assoca ion OF per
SONS chiefly cizens OF Maryland PcnDsy lvania and

guisbed lawyer, Edward Sanford, who was lost in
The Arctic counsel of the company, aud after

In September last Q meeting Of the company was
held, al which il resolved to tender to senator

Observing and perhaps TAX Dg part in the struggle
there going on TO proceed to San Juan and take such
Measures a. bis judgment and xperieDc- approved ID
