British government and without the con-

Great excitement was occasioned in the re-
public when it became known what
Schomburgk had done, and that he had
set up posts to indicate British dominion.
A prompt remonstrance was made, and
Lord Aberdeen who was then prime min
lister Of England, answered, on Dec. II.
1S41, that the marks placed by Mr. Schom-
burgk at some points of the country which
he had surveyed were simply preliminary
step, subject to future discussion betw cen
the two governments; that they were the
only tangible means of preparing to dis
cuss the question Of limits with the gov
ernment Of Venezuela; that they were
placed with that express object and not.
Us the government Of Venezuela seemed
to fear it, with the intention of indicating
dominion or empire on the part of Great
Britain. Soon afterward Lord Aberdeen
ordered THAT all of Schomburgk's posts
should be removed.

VeneSuela asserts that throughout that
region, extending as far as the Essequibo
Styer, the British are mere usurpers, and
tho United States substantially indorses
the assertion by refusing to sanction Brit
ish occupation there unless the English
title can be established by impartial arbi-

Phelps in London long communication
regarding recent acts of British aggression
in Venezuelan territory In 1.-THE said:
The government of the United States
has hitherto taken an earnest and friendly
interest in the question of boundaries so
long in dispute between Great Britain and
Venezuela, and, SO far as its disinterestcd
counsels were admissible, has advocated
an aias:ahle, final and honorable settle
ment of the dispute. We have followed
this course on the assumption that the is
sue was one of historical fact, eminently
adaptable for admitting of arbitration and
that the territorial claims of each party
had a fixed limit, the right to which would,
without difficulty, be determined accord
ing to tho evidence.
