Bo fact will, of course, be- come the subject of the closest inquiries; aod it isoaly gs the first step in a very long controversy, that the at- tention of our readers ia directed t> some obvious consid erations, The whole emigration from these islauds during the last ten years, has been 160u,000, Of that num- ber it is ascertained that at least 1.100.000 have emigrated from Ireland alone. There is, however, no “loubt that of the remaining 500,000, mauy thousands were Trish, who have only used England as a stepping-stone to the new world; and it is also clear that the places of many English and Sootch emigrants have bven supplied ‘by Irish new comers, The population of this ivlanc, asre- turredin the census, is more than enough to be ac- counted for by the natural rate of increase. Although we have had cholera, influenga, dearth and emigration, ‘the increase for Great Britain, though « little valow the rete of former periods, is still more than would arise i from the patorel growth Of the population, “Hees tor every Englishman that bas fallen a victim to epidemiz, or has left this island, at least one native of Ireland has stepped into his place.

There can, indeed, be n0 doubt that some of the causes of this unparalicted reverse are most obvious and pain- ful. Unquestionably, several hundreds of thousands have perished prematurely by famine. by fever. by cho Jera, by diarrhora, by slow hunger, by nakedness, by want ‘of fuel, by insufficient habitation, by want of mvdical aid, by neglect of neighbors, by desertion of friends. by the lowest possible rate of ence, and by the uttermost prostration of spirits. A quarter of a million poor croa- tures huddled at one time in workhouses or extempore additions to them, and even more than that number of habitations swept from the earth. testify to the almost incredible straits to which the Irish population has lately been reduced. Health, strength, wealth hope, and itself, have fled from theve it fate’ shores leav- bow, apr ya 4 miserable remnant, cent‘nually more inca- pable of providing for iteelf, or fulfilling the many offices ofa Christian community. It must needs fare ill with the orphan, the widow, the cripple, the aged, and all the » other feeble classes, when the healthier element has been filtered a1 nd they are left as the dregs behind In- » deed, it is due to those upon whom fe devolved the + duties of public charity in Lrelan nd who have dis- » charged thore duties hitherto with such indifferent suc- ‘ovee, to observe that their burden has been aggravated, ‘as well as their hearts hardened, a continual flight of those who should have borne the burdenin the first instance. ‘These miseries and diffculties, too, have not “been equally diffused over the whole island. Their ops- ration been concentrated in certain districts, and rendored thereby more potent and disastrous. ‘This will be shown by the details of the census, As to the exact proportion of the various causes contributing to the whole decrease of two millions, the census will give us but partial assistance. It will not tell us the premature deaths, or the deficiency of births, nor ix there any re- gistration in Ireland to supply these facts. It will not tell us, except in the rough, the migrations to foreign ceuntries or to this island; por is it easy to see how we shall ever obtain exact information on these points. ‘One singular result comes out on a comparison of the British and Irish census, It appears that the aggregate population of these islands is only about half a million more than it was ten years ago, and that instead of in creasing at the rate of a thousand a day, as is generally sup) ‘we have only increased at the rate of a thou- & week; nor is there any immediate probability of the rate being considerably increased.

Y., July 10, 1861, The Route of the Albany and Susquehannah Railroad A corps of engineers engaged in surveying the route of the contemplated Albany and Susquenan- nah Railroad, passed through here last week, and are slowly progressing towards the termination of the line, at Great Bend, Pa. This route commences at Albany, runs in a south- westerly direction, pass- ing through a gorge in tne Catskill Mountains and strikes the Susquebannah river at Colliersville, int fourteen miles from its source. ‘Thence it follows the course of the stream, frequently gross ing and recrossing to save distance, and traversing cue of the most beautiful but sequestered valleys io the Union. _ The engineers, who are all strangers here, speak in terme of high praise of the fertlity and beauty of the country they have passed through, and the intelligence, hospitality and good feeling mani- festea by the citizens along the route. This region, hitherto so secluded, was one of the first settled portions of the State, and with regard to the intelligence and independence of its inhabit- ants, the salubrity of its aimcephers and the ge- neral diffusion of the means of good living, will com, favorably with any other portion of the rural districts. he great staples produced by the agricultural part of the peopte here are butier aad cheese, which, until the construction of the New York and Erie Railroad, were conveyed in wagons over the Catskill Mountains to market. A great uantity of these commodities are still carried to the North River by the same means. Give these farmers the facilities tor conveying their produce to market cheaply and expeditiously. and this val- Jey will soon become one of the must wealthy por- tions of the State. Even no#, notwithstanding the many disadvantages with which the inhabiiant: have ever had to contend, the traveller will, in n section of the State, meet with fewer evidences 0 poverty, or witness a greater exhibitioa of neatness, taste and good order, than in passing through the lovely valley of the Susquehanuah, from Binghamton to Cooperstown. The bauks of this noble stream wero once the favorite dwelling places of the Indians, and the plough frequently turns up specimens of their weapons and utensils. Stono hatchets, arrow heads, spears, mortars, &c., are in the possession of almost every family. About three miles below this village stands a stone monument erected by the Indians, in honor of the virtues of one of their most illustrious chieftains. There are many interesting localities in this vicinity, some of which are associated with tho memory of heroic deeds of the revolution, but time and space will not permit me to describe them now. The denizens of the city would find themselves amply paid by a ramble through this region. Harvard Cellege Commencement. OUR CAMBRIDGE CORRESPONDENCE. Campriver, (Mass.) July 16, 1851. I suppose you wilh not be unwilling to receive some account of the “doings” at this seat of learning at this, the most interesting season of the year, To-day is commencement day at the Harvard University. ‘To-morrow the Phi Beta Kappa cele- beate their anniversary; and yesterday the Sto y Association h ad their first celebration. This association is formed of the law student, connected with the University, under the immediate instruction of Ex-Chief Justice Parker, of New Hampshire, and Professor Parsons. Judge Kent of your city, is the President of the society. At twelve o'clock a procession, consisting of the Story Association, the college officers and students, and sundry keeps Migcoiad egg was formed on the college grounds, and headed by a band of music, marched to the church. The edifice was crowded leries were exclusively occu- esident Sparks, Hon, Ldward hief Justice Shaw, Judge Bigelow, Judge Edmonds, of New York, Hon Thomas C; penter, of Rhode Island, and several other distin- guished persons were seated on the platform. After prayer by Kev. Dr. Walker, and music by the band, ao ‘m. Kent, of New York, President of the Association, introduced the orator of the ovcasion, Hon. Rufus Choate, who spoke about an hour and twenty minutes, in a high straia of elo- uence. : His subject was the present condition of the coun- try—the marked moral treason which exasperated the public mind, and threatens the destruction of the nation—and be urged that it was the peculiar duty ot the profession of the law to win back the virtues of the people to the service of the count: ‘The doctrines of transcendentalists and hum: tarians—who sip from the teachings of a Unionists, who reject law because it con ficts with some one interior sentiment, who try law by hourd- ed anger—were scattered to the four winds, not by rhetorical skill alone, but by arguments support- ed by a standard of ethics as sound and immutivle asthe word of God. Mr. Choate said the most startling idea in the seeming progress of our day was the endeavor to try tosolve, to ameliorate, and to explain everything at once, by the standard of our own human judgments—according to the dar! ness of our inward thoughis. No regard was to the philosophic teachings of Locke, Jeromy lor, Burke, and other erudite and profound masters of the old time, whose liom and learning illumed and guided a former generation, and whose maxims confront and iguore the lessons of the modern con- science advocates. Constitution: and laws are de- nounced as things of hell, and one man puts his own judgment agains: the opinions of the commu- nity. It was under these influences that unre- strained treason walked abroad to day at the Novth end at the South. “Conscience,” gloomy and suilen at the North—proud and heated at the South —dictates the stupendous heresy of nullification which is now preached openly in both extremes of the country. banquet of emotions, but they do nothing at all to teach us how to demean and act out the duties of civil life. ‘The struggle at present in South Carolina, to en- list the moral convictions of the country agains: the government, was noticed and deplored by the orntor, and the agitations in our own vicinity were also lamente Mr. Choute's exhortation to dis card local ms—to collect the scattered stars— to make all men feel and surrender their common affections to the country—to avoid platforms of wood, and the sending forth of rocket abstractions— to refrain from gapings over the hedge of Southorn slavery, and certainly not to enter it—to cure the morality which countenances a dissolution of the Union—to discard ail arrogaut and seif righteous orse'es—toshun poetic sentimentalists eui al! arti- ficial virtues $ Au appeal such as is seldom heard. ‘The oration listened to with marked a.tention, and at the conclusion the following origina! ode, written by Hon.

After the services in the eburch, the association, with guests, repaired to Harvard Hall aad partook of dinner. Here speeches were made by several genilemen:—By Judge Keat; by Chief Justice Shaw and Jadge Wide, of the Supreme Coart of Maseachuretts ; by Chief Justice Ldmonds, of New k; by Chief Justice Heustis, of Louisiana; by Bennet the Suprote Court of Vermont ; ot Rhode Isiand; by Dro- ‘sone, and others, and at a Jate hour the assemblage broke up, much gratitied with the proceedings of the day. NEWSPAPER ACCOUNTS. [From the Boston Hit, July 16.) The Commencement at Harvard University wa to-day celebrated with the usual SoS) gag ex. ercises in the First Church, at Cambridge. His F-xcelieney Governor Boutwell, and other membors | of ihe civil government, were esvorted to Cam- bridge from Doston by the National Lanvers, the cortege arriving at the place of meeting, the church, some minutes before ven o’elock. ’ ‘The platform in the church was as usual occupied by the Governor and Council, and Senatere of Maesachuretts, the Faculty and officers of the College, both in civil, professional and ecclesiasti- cal lite, and President Spaiks, who presided on the oecasion. : At ten o’clock the exercises commenced with a Latin Oration, Selutatory, by Wm. W. Goodwin, of Plymouth, the delivery of which was exovilent, and from the counteaances of those on tho platform ‘hese new moralists tre:t us toa | and ofthe students, we infer that it was very ac- ce] he exercises differed but slightly from the ordor as published in our paper yesterday ; and they were, as a whole, a well written series of efforts. A poem, the only one given, entitled “The Prospect,” by F. E. Felton, of Castalia, was read by the author in excellent style, not only attracted deep at- tention, but g: ned great applause. “The Last Gladiatorial Show at Rome,” an English Oration, by Theodore Tebbets, of Roshes- ter, N. II., taking it as a whole was, perhaps, as gree a thing as was brought out on the orcasiva. it wasnot only vividly descriptive, but calculated to enlist the feelings. The oration by E. H. Hall, of Providence, K. 1., was full of plain-spoken, eaer- fs truth. ‘The fact that critivisia, by its severe andling, prevents a simple and truthful mode of writing, although it promotes more perfec: artifi- cial creations of uniud, was clucidated with trath- fuloese. The dissertation by J. D. Robinson, of Newbury- port, on **The Sepulebres of Etruria,” “was a fine eld for thought, and although this gentleman al- lowed some of his sentences to end in too low a tone to be audible, yet the impressiveness of his perets and the style of delivery were worthy the subject. ‘Taking it for allin all, the reputation of old Har. vard was fully maintained, and her ability still to give the country men of talent fully proved. Honorary degrees were conferred as follows: — Dector of Divinity —Key. Alonzo Hill, of Wor- cester; Kev. John Adams Albro, of Cambridge; Rey. Rufus Phineas Stebbins, of Meadville, Pena.; Rev.

Au elderly lady, living at the East, lately re- marked tou friend of mine, that she had never heard of Duakirk until this spring, but now, she could not take up @ newspaper but the first thing she saw, was Dunkirk. ‘There are goo’ reasons why this is so—substan- tial causes why this place should be so frequently mentioned. Is it not the extreme western terminus of the longest, widest, best m: and most romantic railroad on the face of the earth ? Beyond it.for a thousand miles, stretch the blue waters of our inland seas, washing the shores of States, territories and provinces, inhabited by millions of industrious roducers; having tri-daily communication with New York, at an expense of only $8in cash, and eighteen hours in time ; with a harbor open several weeks earlier, and closing several weeks later than taat of Buftalo; hens Veegptemee Sageoes as st iv is true, but imperfectly improved, surpassed by bat few ielnities in the, world—with these advan- tages, natural and artificial, Dunkirk ought soon to become a sarge commercial place. uishin; for years, uutil its name was forgotten, it has, o! late, assumed an importance in the public eye which will continue to increase until ic will tal rank amongst frontier cities, with Buffalo, Cleve- land, Detroit, Milwaukie and Chicago, if—that convenient if—but of this if hereafter. A few months since Dunkirk presented a sorry sight. The ruins of the breakwater, built years ago, diafgured its beautiful harbor; # dilapidated wharf, and empty, decaying warehouses, told the ad tele that enterprise had fled; and the unpainted and scattered dwellings gave e b- sence of taste and the jure of the spirit of energy and activity. Since that time, what changes have taken place! Old stores are being refitted, and new ones built, the wharf has beea repaired, houses painted and bers yates or six steamers per day visit its piers, the rail trains bring and take scores of passengers daily, the farmers with their teams throng the streets, and life and activity have, in a measure, d to stagnation and repose Hundreds of shanties cover the outskirts of the town, and several dwellings are being built. The directors of the York and Erie Railroad Company, by their Ler ong judicious liberality, and Napoleon-like boldness, have contri- buted much to these results. Already have they built a depot exceeding in size any in the United States, have nearly finished a car house and ma- chine mee) covering acres of ground, have almos: completed @ splendid pier, eighty feet wide by six hundred feet in lenghth, and have commen tw spacious warchouses on the wharf. The number of wen in the employ of the company, in aud near th town, is about 2,500. The company have had to contend with rival interests which threatened their sucecss. In order to complete their arrangements for the conveyance of passengers to the West, they were, ot course, obliged to charter boats, either owned im, or running from, Buffalo. The natural jealousy of the Buffalonians, at this probable diver- sion ofa large portion of their trade and trav infected also the owners and captains of these stcemere, so that they frequently failed to stop at Dunkirk, according to the stipulations of their son- tract. This conduct bas occasioned much incon- venience to travellers, and operated to the disadvan- tage and detriment, both of the town and the com- pany. An instance, tor example:—On Saturday right last, six or seven gentlemen, bound for Cleve- land, Cineinnati, &c., arrived here by express train, expecting to proceed immediately for the West; but the regular e\eamer from Buffalo had not ar- rived, wnd these parties were compelled to romain | Lere until last night at twelve, when a steamer, which had beea expressly sent for, took them on their joarney.

And it would have done so but for one important cause ‘There i¢ but one weighty obstacle in the path of its piogrees to rank and wealth, and if this is not re- moved, it will forever remain a mere gateway, through which but a portion, and that # small one only, of the immense and increasing trade and | travel of the mighty West wiil pass. and its euecoes is lard is in the ban ft at prices far beyond its value.

The Cuban Invasion—Letter from the ** Ex-Officer of the United States Army who wears a White Hut.” Ihave to-day seen your paper of the 2d May last, in which is a letter from “ Orpheus,” dated the | “23d April, 1851, N. O.” This writer states, in rela- tion to thy ** Cuban invasion,” supposed to be then organizing—that the demonstrations East, were to conceal a grand movement which has been lately going on, and concentrating, at some point bo iween Corpus Christi and Brazos island; that, lately, General Lopez left for Texas; after. wards, a certain Texas State Senator, deeply interested in the city of Rio Grande, ap- peared saddevly in this city, and departed | again as speedily; and that an ‘ex-officer of the | United States army, who is celebrated for his ec- centricities and wearing a white hat, left here, some weeks ago in aschooner heavily laden, it was said, for Corpus Christi or Padre Island. It is not to be denied that considerable emigration has lately been set- tirg in that direction, and Padre Island, from it® situation, would make a good point of rendezvous.” Ihave reason to believe that I am the * ex-offi- cer” referred to in that communication; but the imputation cast upon me, by ‘ Orpheus,” is unde- served, and has no foundation in fact. I aman ** Ex-Officer of the United States Army;” am a re- sident of Corpus Christi; was in New Orleans in March, up tothe 9th; I ‘wear a white hat,” and ‘* Orpheus ” would have completed my pedigree, had he added, * | am of the second families of V. gale But it is not true that | ever left New Jrleans ** in a schooner heavily laden, for Corpus Christi or Padre Island.” It is not trae that I am now, or ever was, atcached to any ‘Cuba invasion | 5. But, while I deny any participation in these Cuba invasions, permis me to say, my sympathies have always been with the Cubanians, as they are with all people who (in my opinion) live uader governments less calculated to benefit mankind than our own united republic. But, as our lamented General Taylor once remarked to the Missouri volunteers in Florida, when he was told “they were gentlemen at home,” replied, ‘* With that I have nothing te do.” 1 only wish to correct any false impressions relating to me; General Lopoz and the Senator ot ‘Texas can answerfor themselves. | coa- fess 1 would like to have Cuba; [ like the climute, the soil, and the location; and as your paper has the most extensive circulation probably in the world, do me the favor toannounce, for the benefit of those who own it, thatif they will take a reasonable price for it, 1 will purebase it. I do not desire it for my own private use or speculation, but will turn it over to the United States at cost. If the United States have no use for it now, it will shortly want an asylum for broken down politicians; and from present appearance, that class of our community is on the increase to such an extent, they will soon require “government patronage.” he foundation of this aspersion against me by “Orpheus,” [ think originated from the following facts:— When in New Orleans, in February last, some of my friends did me the honor to ask. my opinion of the best mode of carrying on this invasion of Cuba.

Mextco—Tehuan: VIOLENT PROCEEDINGS OF THR ME VERNMENT. i (prem the New er as ur city was somewhat excited, sterday, the news from Mexico, relativs to the, eee ty, the Mexican Government, to eject the surve ing party of the ‘Fehuantepee Company from the Isth- mus, and the prompt, spirited, and decided move- ment of the company here, to repel such violent and unjust proceedings. The late Congress of Mexico, under the intluence of tho intrigues of the European ministers, and of the agents of rival in- terests, who have been at work at the capital of this weak and crumbling republic, and ia the ab- sence of any representative of the United States to protect the rights of our citizens against the coun- se) and opinion of the Mexican Executive and their wisest ministers, annulled a solemn and lawful grant, which they made some years ago, and have Tepeatedly since confirmed, allowing to an indi- vidual the right of way, with certain important privileges, across the most practieable route for a communication between the twe oceans. The rights conferred by that contract have continued in foree ever since; and it is not, according to the Mexican constitution, nor agreeable to the of eivilized nations, in the power of the legislative department to oa those who possess this grant of the same, and forfeit, on a single caprice or arbi- trary impulse, all the advantages secured by it. The rights under that contract have passed to American citizens, whom it is the duty of our go- vernment to protect against the wrong and injustice inflicted by toreign governments. The treaty making department of our govern- ment bas fully investigated the subject, and en- dorsed the validity of this claim ; it has pledged itself to maintain and enforce those rights. Phe treaty which was approved by our government, had previously received the sanction of the ablest and ICAN Go- rita, July 6) F White's ranche, where the ‘he is of the astronomical stationed.

About 22 o’eleek » large party assembled to witness the ceremony. The whole Mexican Commission was ood a8 many of our own as were aot upoa duty at other points. ‘The splendid corps of dragoons, command- ed by their gallant captain, escorted the American Commission to the spot, and people from Ed Paso, Ornas, Meshla, and Dona Ana, were present on the occasion. The spot where the monument is to be erected is a high bluff near the west bank of the river, and commands a most chart view. Just here the river makes a bend, and exposes & broad beautiful valley, through which the river is seen glistening--towards the east the view is closed by the jagged and stern peaks of the Sierra de los Organos.

Mr. Bartlett ad- dressed the assemblage :— Gentlomen:—The event we are about to eele- brate is one which, though apparently of little mo- ment, is of deep and poculiar interest. It is one whieh may fill an important place in our country’s istory for ages to come. The boundaries of » great nation are intended to be permanent, and are de- fined and marked for that purpose, though sabse- queut events may caure an alteration of them. The limits or boundaries of kingdoms, empires, and re- publies which flourished in ages past, though the respective nations they were desigued to separate have passed away, still have their places in the world’s history, and prove important landmarks to the historian. ‘hey guide us in tracing the ox- tent of nations. They exhibit the ror less power exerted by them. They show us the extent most experienced statesmenin Mexico. There is little doubt that, but for the gross neglect or re- missness of the executive in Washington, in allow- ing our Minister to be absent at this important juncture, this treaty would have been placed in a favorable train in that country, and, b; judicious and vigorous policy, would eventually have secured the approval of that government. But, for six months, we have been without a representative in Mexico. At this momentous period in her history, when this unhappy republic appears to be in the very crisis of its fate—tottering on the brink of dissolution—offering itself a prey to foreign in- trigue ; when the principal nations of Europe are actively engaged in opposing, in every way they can, the extension of American influence—our re- public is without a minister at that court. The re- sult was to be expected This consequence of the gross neglect of our government, adds to the obli- gation of our executive to prote:t the interests which have thus been endangered. It is quite evident that Mexico, in this matter, was controlled by foreign influences, and by the hope of supplying the doplorable deficiency of her treasury, by another sale of the rights and privi- leges conveyed to Garay. ‘he opposition of European nations to this grant has been made quite palpable. The principle, so. sedulously and perseveringly pursued” by Great Britain, a few degrees below, of interference against this republic, in the affairs of the Southern States of this continent, applies with equat forcu to Mexico, whose helpless condition invites so strangly the aid and protection of the United States. That this in- fluence has been exerted in this Tehuantepes affair, is well known. Tho despatch of Payno to Eng- land, shortly after the rejection of the Tehuantepec treaty, with jority to negotiate a loan on the hypethocetion or transfer of the privileges of com- pleting the e»mmunication across the Isthmus, shows that an attempt will be made to array the British government against our own, ina manner similar to that which produced the Clayton treaty, in reference to Nicaragua. Chatfield thus transfer his labors and intrigues turther North. Spain, too, locks with great jealousy upon auy at- tempt of the United States to colonize the Isthinas, thinigng, no doubt, that such arrangement will bring our people into a more favorable position for aiding the Cuoans a, t their opprassors. Thus we have lately seon ain breaking through her shed policy, and at this late day acko the independence of Niear. » Which was ed more than ay yea ‘0. So, too, the organs of that power, published in this country, have not hesitated to warn the government of Mexico, and to excite the passions of the people against the movement of our citizens to construct the important works onthe Isthmus. A Mexican journal now lying before us, the organ of the anti- ‘Amorican party, (the Universal) copies an article from La Cronica, the Spanish paper published in New York, urging the Mexicans to drive our sur- veying party trom the Isthmus. Similar counsel was given by La Unim, a ponsioned press of the corrupt dynasty of Cuba, published in this city. We noticed these traitorous recommendations at the time, and predicted that they would produce their eflect among the ignorant and prejudiced races of Mexico. Such have been some of the consequonces of leav- ing our rey ublic without a representative in Mexico at this important juncture. It behooves the govern- ment to repair the consequences of this negleot by prompt and rgetic measures. Mr, Webster pledged the lixe stain our citizens in the prosecution of their rights under ¢ ” Tt was under such guaranty that the pany incur. red an expense ot at least $100,000, eom nenced operations, in the prosecusion and comple which, the whole civilized world is deeply inte It would be a great wiong if the company should be compelled to lose all its large outlay on account of the jealoury and bad fuith of the Mexicans, and the want of diligence and promptitude in our govern- ment.

Again, these boundaries designate to future generations the | Recerephicad position of a nation under the several forms of go- vernment under which it may have existed, in the various phases of its rise, its prosperity and its de- cline. ‘hey show us what a nation has accom- plis ed as an empire, as a kingdom, and as a repub- lic. The boundaries of a country are ier shamed lines in other respects. They often mark the pro- gress and limit of a branch of the great human fa- mily on the earth’s surface, independent of its civil position. Language, manners, and customs, science, the arts, religion, end ever civilization itself, are characterized by the boundaries of a country. ‘This may be the case, notwithstanding the boundary re+ ferred to is constituted by an arbitrary or mere imaginary line. Natural boundaries tend in a much greater degree to perpetuate the characteristics of a nation; infact, it may with truth be said that they invariably preserve them. The point we are about to establish and mark as an important one to the United States, and the determining of it is not less so to Mexico. The commissioners who — the treaty of peace between the two republics, stipulated that the boundary line between the west of the Rio Grande or Bravo del Norte, shor run from the point where the said river strikes the southern boundary of New Mexico, peageneny be ry certain map which the comunissioners had before the commissioners who have now. them. It was agreed by met here together, that the point referred to is latitude 32°22 North. To ascertain this oa ti earth’s surface, was a matter of great labor, and only to be determined by the astronomers of the two commissions These gentlem Senor Salu- gan on the part of Mexico, and Lieut. A. W. Whip- ple on the part of the United States, with their re- spective assistants, have madea large number of observations independent of each other, in order to ascertain the true location of the point in question; and bave mutually agreed and determined it to be at the spot whereon we now stand, ‘The commissioners and surveyors of the two re- ublies being satisfied with the results arrived at y the chiet astronomers, do therefore ratify their dee! and in conformity therewith, do now es- a8 the initial point i lary between the United St public of M to run th jecisions made and agreements entered into by the authorities representing and acting in behalf of the two republics, they now deposit in the ground, at the spot whereon the initial point moau- ment is to be ercoted, a glass vessel, containing copy in Spanish and English, of the following doca- ment, duly signed, sealed and witnessed. ‘The following was then read in the two languages by the Secretari Be it remembered, that on the twenty-fourth day of vs ay in the year of our Lord one thousandcight hundred and fifty one, the Commissioners and Sur- veyors, ou behalf of the United States and Mexico, named to run the boundary line between the two republics, in conformity with the treaty of peace, dated at the city of idalupe idalgo, on the second of February, 1543, and exchanged at Quere- taro, on the thirteenth day of May, of the same year, being fully satisfied with the operations made, and the results obtained by the astronomers of the two commissioners, do establish this peint on the right bank of the river Bravo or Grande del Norte in (32 deg. 22 min.) thirty~ degroea twenty-two minutes north latitude, which, in ac cordance with the provisions of the fifth article of suid treaty, is the point where it (sho said river Bravo, or € ide del Norte,) strikes the southern boundary of New Mexico Be it likewise remembered, that the distance from. this point to the centre of the bed, where now acta- ally runs the river, in the direeticn of the same par 4,) two hundred and nincteea metres and four tenths, following the line east from said point For the greater solemnity of this act, appear as witnesses on the part of the United Stat Brevt.
