x Lord Ashburton in answer to Mr. Webster. 5
letter says that its statement of the settlement OF
boundaries appears substantially correct and that
the Treaty may now be drawn up. He wishes 10
consider the articles singly, and recommends max
ing the deliRea,ions of the line on the excellent
charts in their possession, to spare to both parties
the unnecessary expense of new Commissioners,
and new survey.


XII The next letter is also from Lord Ashbur-
ton, and its object is to record by correspondence
caution that the stipulation in the nth arti-
Gle Of the Treaty. signed that day, August sth'
respecting certain payments to be made BY the 10

Maine and Massachusetts, does not subject Great
Britain to any responsibility for those engage
ments.


XII. Mr. Webster assents to this precautionary
statement OF Lord Ashburton.
