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

It is moreover agreed, that from tin

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

northeastern point of He Royal, where

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

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

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

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.

6th. The tacit acknowledgement made throughout
the whole treaty that the United States had
right to the entire territory.
7th. The abandonment of Madawaaka settlement,

had to transfer their allegiance, a point on which
England is particularly testy.

" I shall not advert to what New Brunswick is
to suffer by opening the free navigation of its prin:ipal

the texas treaty.
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
