THE SAN JUAN DISPUTE.

simply because the public opinion of the country

But there has probably never been an instance oF

From the Sbipping Gazettel
Gen. Harvey know well enough that the island
be has seized upon lies properly within that boun-
dairy, but he avails himself of the indeterminate
nature OF the survey in order to take up n strong
position IN reference to the new gold discoveries;
and if he has misuterpreted the wishes of the Cab
net of w Washington, he has contrived to frame his
conduct in singular accordance with its general
policy in the West We do not, of course, appre-
bend that anything like serious misunderstanding
can arise between the two Governments in conse1
luence of this San Juan affair. 1t will all be laid
TO the account of the Ashburton Treaty, and the
imperfect survey on which its provisions rest: but
we shall be somewhat surprised if it turns out that
Ten. Harney has acted of his own motion in this
matter, and that his acts are disavowed by a Gov
