A TREATY, To settle and define the boundaries between tin Territories of the United States and the Pos sessions of her Britannic Majesty in Nortl America, for the final suppression of the African slave trade, and for the giving rip of cri. minals, fugitives from justice, in certain cases Whereas certain portions of the line ol , boundary between the United States of America and the British dominions in (North America, described in the Second Article of the Treaty of Peace of 1783, have not yet been ascertained and determined, notwithstanding the repented attempts which have been heretofore made for that purpose ; and whereas, it is now thought to be for the interest of both parties, that, avoiding further discussion of their respective rights, arising in this respect under the said treaty, they should agree on a conventional line in said portions of the said boundary, such as may be convenient to both parties, with such equivalents and compensations as are deemed just and reasonable : and whereas, by the treaty concluded at Ghent, on the 24th day of December, 1314, between the United States and His Britlannic * - - ?n r*rl i n lurnisnea wun inn |iuwci?, ...v, iel Webster, Secretary of State of the United States, and Her Majesty, the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, has, on her part, np. ' pointed the Right Honorable Alexander * Lord Ashhurton, a Peer of the said United Kingdom, a member of Her Majesty's most honorablc>Privy Council, and Her Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary on a Special Mission to the United States, who, after a reciprocal communication of their rpunective full powers, have agreed to and signed the following Articles : article i. ' It is hereby agreed and declared that ^ the line of boundary shall be as fo'lows : Beginning at the Monument fit the sources of the River St. Croix, as desig. natedand agreed toby the Commissioners under the 4th Article in the Treaty of "1794, between tiie Governments of the United Slatesand Great Britain, thence North, following the exploring line run and marked by the Surveyors of the Gov? ernmcnts in the years 1817 and 1813 tin. derthe fifth article of the treaty of Ghent, to its intersection with the river St. John and to the middle of the channel thereof; thence, tip the middle of the main channel of said river St. John, to the mouth of the river St. Francis : thence, up the middle of the channel of the said river St. Francis, and of the lakes through which it flows, to the outlet of the Lake Pohenagninook ; thence Southwesterly, in a straight line to a point on the North West branch of the river St. John, which point shall he ten miles distant from the main branch of the St. John, in a straight line, and in the nearest direction ; hut if the said point shall he found to he less than seven miles from the nearest point or summit or crest of the highlands that di vide those rivers which empty themselves into tho river St. Lawrenco from those which fall into the river St. John, to n point seven miles in a straight line from the said summit or crest : thence, in a straight line in a course about South eight . degrees west to (he point of where the pa r?He! of45 deg. 25 min. north intersect? the Southwest branch of the St. John A?. o-'t?i.. - ineilCC, own UIUI iy IIIC no m UHHIVII) ?*. the source thereof in the highlands at th< Mctjannette portage ; thence, down alon? the said highlands which divide the wa tcrs which empty themselves into tiu liver St. Lawrence froni those which fal into the Atlantic Ocean, to the head o Hall's stream, thence, down the middle o said stream till the line thusrun intersect! the old line of boundary, surveyed ant marked by Valentine and Collins prcvi ously to the year 177 4, as the 45th de gree of north latitude, and which ha been known and understood to he thi line of actual division between the State * of New Y<>rk and Vermont on one side t -nnd the British Provinces of Canada, oi F the other ; and, from said point of inter ^ section, west along the said dividing lini as heretofore known and understood, ti ^ the Iroquois or St. Lawrence River. L ARTICLE II. It is moreover agreed, that from tin L places where the joint commisMoiiers ter Majesty, an article wns iijjmcu iw.... sorted of the following tenor, viz: "Art. 10. Whereas, the traffic in slaves is irreconcilable with the principlesofhurnanity and justice; and whereas, both His Majesty and the United States are desirous of continuing their efforts to promote its entire abolition, it is hereby agreed that ^ both the contracting parties shall use their ^ best endeavors to accomplish so desirable an.object." And whereas, notwithstanding the Jaws which have at various times been passed by the two Governments, and the efforts made to suppress it, that criminal traffic is still prosecuted and carried on: And whereas the United States of America, and her Majesty, the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, are determined that, ho far as may be in their power, it shall be effectually abolished : And whereas, it is found expedient for the better administration of justice, and the prevention of crime within the territories and jurisdiction of the two parties respectively, thai persons committing thecrimes hereinafter enumerated, and being fugitives from justice, should, under certain circumstances, be reciprocally delivered up : ? The United States of America and Her Biitannic Majesty, having resolved to treat on those several subjects, have for that purpose appointed their respective Plenipotentiaries to negotiate and c<>nelude a Treaty, that is to say, the Prrsi% dent of the United States has, on his part, ? -l r..ii ||,in * !'. . | minated their labors, under the sixth r article of the treaty of Ghent, to wit : At a point in the Neebrik channel, near Muddy lake, the line shall run into and ! along theship channel, between St. Jo seph and St. Tammany Islands, to the division of the channel at or near the head of St. Joseph's Island; thence, i turning eastwardly and northwardly, ! around the lower end of St. George's ! from St. Joseph's Island; thence up ( the east Neebrik channel, nearest to ' St. George's Island, through the middle " : of Lake George; thence west of Jona's i | Island, into St. Mary's River, to a point I ; in the middle of that river, about one ! mile above St. George's or Sugar Island, ,j so as to appropriate and assign the said i Island to the United States : thence adopi | ting the lino traced on the maps by the j j commissioners, through the river St. Mary j and Lake Superior, to a point north of lie Royal in said lake, one hundred yards to the North and east of He Chapeau, which last mentioned Island lies near the northeastern point of He Royal, where i the line marked by the commissioners ter. minatcs; and from the last mentioned ; point, southwesterly, through the middle 1 of one sound between He Roval and the r north-western main-land, to the mouth of Pigeon river, and at the said river to, and j through, the north and south Fowl Lakes, to the Lakes of the height of Land, be; tween Lake Superior and the Lake of the W^ds; thence along the water communicalion to Lake Saisaqoinaga, and ! through that Lake ; thence, to and through j CypteS Lake, Lac du Bois Blanc, Lac la Croix, Little Vermillion Lake and Lake Namecan, and through the several smaller lakes, straits, or streams, connecting | the lakes here mentioned, to that point in j Lnc la Pluie or Rainv-Lake, at the Chandier Falls, from which the Commissioners traced the line to the most northwestern point of the Lake of the Woods?thence along the said line to the said most north I western point, being in latitude forty nine degrees. i!3 55 north, and in longitude ninety-live degs. 13 3S west from the | Observatory at Greenwich : thence, according toexisting treaties, due south to its | intersection with the 49th parallel of north ! latitude, and along that parallel to the I Rocky Mountains. It being understood j that all the water communications and nil i the usual portages along the line from : L ike Superior to the Lake of the Woods and also Grand Portage, from the shore of Lake Superior to the Pigeon River, as now actually used, shall he free and open to the use of the citizens and subjects of both countries. ARTICLE III. In order to promote the interests and encourage the industry of all the inhabitants of the countries watered by the River St. John and its tributaries, whether living within the State of Maine or the Province of New Brunswick, it is agreed that, where, by the provisions of the present treaty, the River St. John is declared ! to he the line ot boundary, me navigation of said river shall be ficc and open to both parties, and shall in no way be obstructed by either : that all the produce of the forest, in logs, lumber, timber, boards, ] staves or shingles, or of agriculture not j being manufactured, grown on any of those ( parts of the Slate of Maine, watered by the River St. John, or by its tributaries, i of wnich fact reasonable evidence shall, i f required, he produced, shall have free | access into and through the said river and its said tributaries, having their source within the State of Maine; to and from the sea port at the mouth of the said River St. John, and to and round the falls of said River,either by boats, rafts or ; other conveyance : that when within the province of New Brunswick, the said produce shall he dealt with as if it were the produce of said Province : that, in like manner the inhabitants of the Territory | of the St. John, determined by this treaty j to belong to her Britannic .Majesty, shall have free access to and through the river for their produce, in those parts where the said river runs wholly through the State of Maine ; provided, always, that this agreement shall give no right to cither j party to interlerc with anv regulations not inconsistent with tho terms of this ' treaty, which the Governments respeclively, of .Maine or of New Brunswick j may make respecting the navigation of the said river, when both banks thereof 1 1 shall belong to the same party. ARTICLE IV. 1 All grants of land heretofore made by either party, within the limits of the territory which by this treaty fulls witljin (he 1 dominions of the other party, shall he * held valid, ratified and confirmed to the 1 j persons in possession under such grants, ' ; to the same extent as if such territory 1 I had by this fallen within the dominions of ' i the party by whom such grants were made; j and all equitable posscs^ary claims, aris5 i ing from a possession and improvement of ? | any lot or parcel of land by the person actu' i ally in possession, or by those under whom ; I such person claims, for more than six years > | before the date of such treaty, shall in like - I i-_ J 1 i:,1 _i a manner oe uecmeu ?anu, aiiu uu uununn? I ed nnd quieted by a release to the person * j entitled thereto, of the title to such lots or f j parcel of land, so described as best to inf j elude the improvements made thereon ; s i and in all other respects the two contrac' ting parties agree to deal upon the most * liberal principles of equity with the settlers * actually dwelling on the territory falling s ; to them, respectively, which has heretoE I fore been in dispute between them. * ARTICLE V. ? Whereas, in the course of the contro1 versv respecting the disputed territory of * the North Eastern Boundary, some mo E { neys have hern received by the authority i ties of Her Britannic Majesty's Province of New Brunswick, with the intention of preventing depredations on the forests of p the said territory, which moneys were . cairjcd to u fund called the " Disputed Territory Fund," the proceeds whoreof it was agreed should be hereafter paid over to the parties interested, in the proportion to be determined by a final settlement of boundaries : It is hereby agreed, that a correct account of all receipts and payments on the said fund, shall be delivered to the Government of the United States, within six months after the ratification of this treaty ; and the proportions of the amount due thereon, to the States of Maine anJ Massachusetts, and any bonds and securities appertaining thereto, shall ly, I he laws, rights and obligations or each of the two countries, for the suppression of the Slave trade; the said squadrons to be independent of each other, but the two Governments stipulating, nevertheless to give such orders to the officers commanding their respective forces, as shall enable them most effectually to act in concert and co-operation, upon mutual consultation, as exigencies may arise, for the attainment of the true object of this article; copies of all such orders to be communicated by each Government to the other respectively. ARTICLE IX. Whereas, notwithstanding, all efforts which may be made on the Coast of Africa, for suppressing the Slave Trade the facilities for carrying on that traffic and avoiding the vigilance of cruisers by the fraudulent use of flags, and other means, are so great, and the temptation for pursuing it, while a market can be found for slaves, so strong, as that the desired result may be long delayed, unless all markets be shut against the purchnse of African negroes, the parties to this Treaty agree that they will unite in all becoming representations and remonstrances, with any and nil Powers within whose dominions such markets are allowed to exist; and that they will urge upon all such Powers the propriety and duty of cfodng such markets at once and forever. ARTICLE X. It is agreed that the United States and Her British Majesty shall, upon mutual requisitions by thein, or their Ministers, OtHcers, or Authorities, respectively, made, deliver to justice, all persons who, being charged with the crime of murder, or assault with intent to commit murder, or piracy, or arson, or robbery, or forgery, or the utterance of forged papers, cornmilted within the jurisdiction of either, shall seek an asylum or shall be found , within the territories of the other; provii ded. that thisshall onlv be done upon such evidence of criminality as, according to the laws of the place where the fugitive or person so charged shall be found, would justify his apprehension and commitment for trial, if the crimo or offence had there been committed; and the respective judges and other magistrates of the two Governments shall have power, jurisdiction, and authority, upon complaint made under oath, to issue a warrant for the <?j> be paid and delivered over to the liovernmentofthe U. States : and the Government of the U. States agree to receive for the use of, and pay over to the States of Maine and Massachusetts their respective portions of said fund further to pay | and satisfy said States, respectively, for all claims for expenses incurred by them in protecting the said heretofore disputed territory, and making a survey thereof in 1838; the Government of the United States agreeing with tho States of Maine and Massachusetts to pay the further sum of three hundred thousand dollars, in equal moieties, on account of their assent to the line of boundaries described in this treaty, and in consideration of the equivalent received therefor, from the Governmont of her Britannic Majesty. ARTICLE VI. It is furthermore understood and agreed, that for the purpose of running and tracing those parts of the line between the source of the St. Croix and the St. Lawrence River, which will require to bcrun and ascertained, and for making the residue of said line by proper monuments on the Innd, two Commissioners shall he appointed, one by the President of tho United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate thereof, and one by Her Britannic Majesty : and thesaidComrnissioners shall meet at Bangor, in the Slate of Mnine, on the first day of May next, or as soon thereafter as may be, and shall proceed to mark the line above described ; from the source of theSt. Croix, to the River St. John ; and shall trace on proper mark* the dividing lino along said river, and along the river St. Fran- j ces, to the outlet of the Lake Pohennga- I mook ; and from the outlet of snid Lake, they shall ascertain, fix, and mark by durable monuments upon the land, the line described in the first article of this treaty ; and the said Commissioner shall make to ench of their respective Governments a joint report or declaration, under their hands and seals, designating such line of boundary, and shall accompany said report or declaration with maps certified by them to be the true maps of the new boundary. ARTICLE VII. It is further ogieed, that the channel* { in the river St. Lawrence, on both sides of the Long Sault Islands, nnd of Barn- j hart Island ; the channels in the River Detroit, on both sides of the island Rois Blanc, and between that Island both the American and Canadian shores ; and all ; the several channels and passages be- i tween the various Islands lying near the! junction of the River St. Clair, with the lake of that name, shall be equally free and open to the ships, vessels and boats 1 of both parties. ARTICLE VIII. The parties mutually stipulato that each shall prepare, equip and maintain in service, on the coast of Africa, a sufficient and adequate squadron, or naval force of vessels, of suitable numbers and description, to carry in all not less than eighty guns, to enforce separately and respective prehension of the fugitive or person so i charged, thnt he may be brought before ! such judges or other magistrates, respec^ lively to the end that the evidence of < criminality may be heard i.nd considered ; i and if on such hearing, the ovidence be deemed sufficient to sustain the charge, i it shall he the duty of the examining i judge or magistrate, to certify the same to th* lirrmor ovAsntiun niithnrlft/ th nt n i w|" vj/vi vav;uu 11 ? ^ uuniu ik r f ?? warrant may issue for the surrender of such fugitive. The expense of such apprehension and delivery shall be borne and . defrayed by the party who makes the re- I quisition, and receives the fugitive. article xi. 1 The eighth article of this treaty shall < be in force for five years, from the date * of the ratification, and afterwards until < one or the other party shall signify a wish | to terminate it.

ASHBURTON. [seal.] DANIEL WEBSTER, [seal.] CHERAW GAZETTE. | Cf.iiraw, Tuesday, Sept. 20, 1S42. The Hon. S. H. Butler, member of Congress from the Columbia district, has resigned on acr? %_ _ J 1 IaL count 01 oaa acaim. On the fourth page will be found the protest sent by the President to the House of Represents- , tives a few days before the adjournment; and in the preceding columns the treaty with Great Britain and the message of the President commu- , nicating it to the Senate. How copies of these doc- , umcnts and of the correspondence between Mr. j Webster and Lord Ashburton, which has also , been published, were obtained by the printer is ( not certain. We have seen it stated without contradiction that a copy was stolen from the files of the Senate by a member of that body. It is due from the Senate to the country to inquire into the i subject at the commencement of the next session, i Mrs. Tyler, wife of the President of the United { States, died on the 10th inst. She had long suf- , fered from an attack of parulisis. I A public dinner was offered Mr. Wchster by a j number of the most respectable citizens of Boston, on his recent arrival in that city. Mr. Webster's reply was, that it would give him great pleasure to meet all his fellow citizens who might desire to ; ( see him ; and the mode of such meeting he should j leavo to them, with a preference, however, on his / part, if equally agreeable to others, that the dinner : should be dispensed with, and that the meeting j should be held in such manner as would impose the least restrictions, and best suit the convenience of all who might be disposed to attend. ^ From the N. Y. Com. Advertiser. s The Treaty of Washington. The Cobourg (Canada) Star is sorely displeased ' with the treaty, and vents its excess ol displeasure in half a column of vituperation upon the parties engaged in the negotiation. We copy its ten j items of objection, mainly for the sake of pointing j ' out the curious fact that the treaty is here objected i to by an Englishman as yielding, on the part of j Great Britain, the very points which the Courier and Enquirer asserts*to have been yielded by the : United States. Almost all the Canada papers express satisfac- j tion?remarking that large concessions have been made by England, but admitting that even with those concessions the treaty is far preferable to a continuance of dissension and ill feeling. Observing this, and observing also that with a very few exceptions the press in the Uuited States approves of the treaty, the negotiators may re-assure themselves with the conviction that they have done about what was right The ultras and impracticablcs on both sides are dissatisfied, insist ing respectively that all Bhould have been given up to them ; but the great majority remember that there was much to be said on both sides in support of the claims?that an amicable agreement could not have been effected without mutual concession ?and that if something has been given up by one j party to which it thought its claim perfect, on the other side there has also been something given up, the title to which on that side was looked upon with equal confidence and strength of conviction. The following is the article from the Cobourg paper: 44 Our objections to the treaty, as agreed on between Lord Ashburton and Mr. Webster, are easily stated ; all the eulogizore of the measure resort to as subject for praise and congratulation is the simple fact, that the difficulty has been settled, if only for a time, and the ridiculous parade made about the noble Lord in the States should be sufficient, with those who know the American character, to make them look well to the matter before they lavish such unqualified praise on the Plenipotentiary Extraordinary, and still more the hubbub kicked up about the publication of the treaty and the anger of Mr. Webster thereat. This is all very fine?well may the Americans boast, for England might just as well have left the question to be decided by Mr. Webster, without the expense of a i special mission.?We object, 1 st. That throughout the whole negotiation the interests of Canada were shamefully neglected? she was allowed no voice in the consultation, nor was any regard had to her safety. 2nd. That the difficulty arising from imaginary lines is as great as ever, and the abandonment of the main branch of the St. John was a useless sacrifice on the part of Lord Ashburton. 3d. The assumption of the Western branch as j 4he head waters of the Connecticut in place of the Eastern, thus wantonly abandoning a portion of British territory. 4th. For the giving up Rouse's Point, which is only claimed by the United States as a military position, the very object most desirable to be avoided. *'? ?f lv>itnnirr was rwil jtn. ror inc wuuv vi ? ?

The tacit acknowledgement made throughout the whole treaty that the United States had right to the entire territory. 7th. The abandonment of Madawaaka settlement, for we argue if England were correct in hitherto considering that settlement as hers, she lias no more right to give the settlers up than they had to transfer their allegiance, a point on which England is particularly testy. 8th. With respect to the navigation of the St. j John's wc quote the words of a correspondent of the Quebec Gazette. " I shall not advert to what New Brunswick is to suffer by opening the free navigation of its prin:ipal river for the whole extent of the province, md under the walls of her capital, and of her prin. :ipal seaport, a privilege that opens the whole province to the aggression of a powerful neighbor, md annihilates its independence forever, dec. kc.M 9th.

Our readers may remember our mentioning, some time in the last week of the late session, that a Commercial Convention, concluded between the United States and Texas, had been laid before the Senate by the President of the United States for ratification. We learn, upon inquiry, that owing to the late period at which that treaty was sent in, it was not practicable for the Senate to act upon it before adjournment It will come up, of course, among the first things to be acted upon when the Senate is again in session. We understand that the Hon. James Reilet, Charge d'Affaire* of Texas, between whom and the Secretary of State this treaty was concluded, having accomplished that desirable object, has re. signed his t rust, and departed hence on his return to Texas.?Nat.
