Tho Herald publishes the full text of
the naturalization treaty between the
United States and England. 1t pro-
vides that citizens of either country
who become EaturaliZed as the subjects
all respects, and for all purposes. They
shall, however, be at liberty to renOuuce
their naturalization and resume their
respective nationalities within two
years after this protocol is carried
into effect. The manner of remuneration
to be hereafter agreed upon by said
and such persons shall
not thereafter be liable to be claimed as
subjects by either government on ac-
count of their former naturalization.
These principles are not to be carried
into effect by Great Britain until after
the necessary provision is made by Par
lament for the revision of the existing
laws. A similar treaty with Belgium
has been sent to the Senate for ratitica-
ton; also treaty with Peru, for the |
of all claims almost identi-
cal with that of England, and for the
same purpose. The San Juan bOunda-
rY treaty, which is also published, refers
the determination of the line of bound
ary to the President of the Swiss con-
federation. All the correspondence,
documents, maps, surveys, &C., relating
to the subject shall be placed at his dis
posal within twelve months after the
ratification of the treaty the referee Is
to endeavor to deduce the precise line
of boundary from the words of the
treaty OF 1861, but if unable to do so, is
at liberty to determine on some line
which will in his opinion furnish equi-
table solution of the difficulty and be
the nearest approximation that can be
made to the accurate construction
thereof; the ministers and public |
agents OF either country at Berne arc
to conduct the respective cases before
the referee who shall be requested
to deliver his award in writing
as early as convenient after the whole
case has been laid before him, his de-
cision to be final and conclusive, and
carried into immediate effect by Com
missiOners to be appointed to mark
the boundary.
Secretary Seward has submitted TO
the Senate the correspondence in ne
gotiations for the purchase by the
United States OF the Danish West
India Islands. Mr.. Seward shows that
he made the proposition to purchase
those Islands with the approval and
authority of President Lincoln. The
first sum named by the Danish Minis
ter as an equivalent for the Islands
was S25, 100000, but subsequently his
government receded considerably in
their demands, and agreed to receive
the amount stipulated in the treaty.
