The Mexican Boundary.


letter which rave on Mondsy from the
Mexican Boundary Commission mentioned the
promptness with which, in the face of many
difficulties, the Commission had proceeded to
discharge its duties in establishing the boun-
dairy under the late treaty with Mexico.
We learn that the initial point is fixed on
the west bank Of the Rio Grande in north lati-
tude 80 AT. This point, we are informed,
was settled with entire accord by the American
and Mexican commissioners, there having been
but slight variations in the observations Of the
respective engineers.
The ceremony Of laying the foundation of
the monument which is to mark the initial
point took place on the 3lst of January 1t
was conducted on the part of the United
States by Major VIM. Fl. Emory, and on the
part of Mexico by Don Jose Salazar. The
principal officers of the respective governments
in the vicinity, both civil and military, were
invited to be present; and, the site having
been selected, the following statement was GER
tilted by the signatures Of all the officers in at
tendance, and placed in the corner stone:
"We, the undersigned have this day as.
sembled to witness the laying of the foun
dalton of the monument which is to mark
