delineated the stream delineated by common ac- rd on he map a aruiaffording the only eis of a decision and that therelore the eircumstanccs vi on which such decision could not be fur ther elucidated hy means of treeh topograph ical investigation nor by the production of additional documents we are of opinion that it will he suita ble il conviendra to adopt as the bounda ry of the two states a line drawn due ninth from the source of the river st croik to the point where it intersects thr middle of the thalweg t of the river st john thence the middle ot the thalweg of that river as cending it to the point where the river s francis empties itself into the river st john thence the middle of the thalweg of the riv er st francis ascending it to the source of its southwestemmost branch which source we indicate on the map a by the letter x authenticated by the signature of our minister of foreign affairs thence aline drawn due west to the point where ti unites with the line claimed by the united states of america and delineated on the map a thencesaid line to the point at which according to the said map it coincides with that claimed by great britain and thence the line traced on the map by the two pow ers to the northwesternraost source of the connecticut river as regards the second point to wit the question which is the northwesternrnost head of connecticut river considering that in order to solve this suestion it is necessary to choose between onnecticutlake river perrys stream idian stream and halls stream considering thu according to the usage adopted in geography the source and tho bed of a river are denoted by the name o the river which is attached to such source and to such bed and by their greater rela tive importance as compared to that of other waters communicating with said river considering that an official letter of 1772 already mentions the name of halls brook and that in an official letter of sub sequent date in the same year halls brook s represented as a small river falling into the connecticut that the river in which connecticut iake is situated appears more considerable tban either halls indian or perrys stream that connecticut lake and the two lakes situated northward of it seem to ascribe to it a greater volume of water than to the oth- r three rivers and that by admitting it to je the bed of the connecticut the course of that riyer is extended farther than it would be if a preference were given lo either cf the other three rivers lastly that the map a having been re cognized by the convention of 1827 as in dicating the courses of streams the author- ty of that map would likewise seem to ex- end to their appellation since in case of did- iute such name of river or lake respecting vhich the parties were not agreed may iave been omitted that said map mentions j connecticut lake and that the name of connecticut lake implies the applicability of the name of connecticut to the river which flows through the said lake we are of opinion that the stream situat ed farthest to the northwest among those which into the northernmost of the three py jakes the lant of which bears the name of j connecticut lake must be considered as tho northwesternmost head of connecticut ri ver and as to the third point to wit the question which is the boundary to be traced from tlie river connecticut along the par allel of the 45tb degree of north latitude to the river st lawrence named in the treaties ituquotse and ctaaq considering that the high interested parties differ in opinion as to the i of great britain ho hns loft

member oq each side who have been canvassing having compared lists which give a decided majority for the bill we have already stated that the king had writ a letter to the earl grey expressive of his approval of the bill and ofhis determination to support it we can now naie from au thority that his majesty has given carl grey a cart blanche for the dissolution of parliament or otherwise in the

21st march is va riously estimated the list of ministerial adherents have bcencauvassed by viscount duocanooo the independents by mr hume the peel party and the tories generally by mr holmes all
