Boundary to be Plainly Marked.
WARRINGTON. April 30.-Ths Presi-
dent has transmitted to Congress a let
ter addressed by the Minister PIsnipo-
Tertiary of Mexico to the Secretary of
State proposing the conclusion OF con-
vention between the two countries for
defining the boundary between the
United States and Mexico from the Rio
Grande to the Pacific ocean, by the
erection Of durable monuments. He
also lays before Congress letter on the
Same subject, with its accompaniment
from the Secretary Of War, TO whom
the proposition was referred by the Sec
retary Of State for an expression Of his
views thereon. The President says be
deems it important that the boundary
line between the two countries. as de-
fined by existing treaties and already
once surveyed. should be run anew, and
denoted by suitable permanent monu-
ments, and ho says that by so doing un-
certainty vii Be prevented as to juris-
diction in criminal and municipal af-
fairs, and questions will be averted
which may at any time in the near fu-
tnre arise with the growth Of popula-
tion on the border. Moreover" says
the President, Il conceive the willing
and speedy assent of the Government
OF the United States to tho proposal to
thus determine tho existing stipulated
boundary with permanence and pre-
cision will be in some sense an assur-
ance to Mexico that unauthorized suspi-
cions, which of late years sesml to have
gained some credence in that Republic,
that the United States covsts and seeks
to annex the neighboring territory, il
without foundation. That which the
United States seeks. and which defin-
ite settlement of the boundary IN the
proposed manner will promote, is a con-
fiding and friendly feeling between the
two nations, leading to advantageous
SoAAhCAOo 0u0 oAOoCA COhhAhcACloA AcA1-
tions. have to suggest that in accept
ing this proposal, suitable provisions be
made for an adequate military force ON
the frontier to protect surveying parties
from the hostile Indians. The troops 80
employed will at the same time protect
settlers on the border, and prevent ma
rauding on both sides, by nomadic In
dians.r
