T/re B0i/,nrla.r_7/ C_lu.esL’i0n.—Sii‘ R. Peel
said that the papers connected with this ques-
tion which had been promised imincdiatcly
after the Eastern recess had never appeared,
notwitlistandiug the positive assurances of
their early production. He wished to know
when they were to be furnished. He thought
it would not be a satisfactory answer to say
that fresh papers had been since received,
which required farther time for their prepa-
ration.
Lord Palmeston said he must take upon
himself the responsibility of the day. He
was anxious to present these papers, togeth-
er with the report of the commissioners ap-
pointed last year. The papers as well as
the report were now in print, and he hoped
in a few days to lay them before the house.
It would be more satisfactory to the
liouseto have the whole before it, than to see
the papers partially.
Sir R. ‘Peel aslrcd whetlier the report of
the commissioners would be produced at
length. .
Lord Palmerston replied that the house
should see the whole of it.
Sir R. Peel inquired whether any fresh
commissioners had been sent out since the
commissioners had made their report.
Lord Palmeston said there was one part of
the boundary which the commissioners had
been unable last year to ascertain as minute-
ly and as acccurately as they wished at the
time, and he had since sent out two other
persons to complete the survey. It might
be satisfactory that he should state that her
Majesty’s Government had recently sent to
the Government of the United States an an-
swer to the communication which they had
received last year, that answer being a draft
ofa convention for the purpose of appointing
a commission with a view to the final settle-
ment of the question.’
Sir R. Peel asked whether the draft of the
convention was founded on the basis of_the
communication received from the American
Government, and by which they were ob-
liged to abide, or whether it was some new
proposition which they were at liberty to ac-
cept or reject as they pleased.
Lord Palmester said it was founded on the
basis of the communication last made by the
American Government,
