The undersigned avails himself of this occasion to renew to Mr. Forsyth the assurance of his high esteem and consideration. H.S. FOX. WASHINGTON, _August 24, 1837_. Hon. JOHN FORSYTH, etc. SIR: With reference to the official note which, by direction of the President, you addressed to me on the 23d of March last, respecting a projected railroad between the cities of Quebec and St. Andrews, which it was apprehended would, if carried into effect, traverse a part of the territory at present in dispute between Great Britain and the United States, I am now enabled to inform you that, in consideration of the arguments and observations contained in your note, Her Majesty's Government has been pleased to direct the colonial authorities of Lower Canada and New Brunswick, respectively, to cause all operations connected with the above-mentioned project within the limits of the disputed territory to be immediately discontinued. I have the honor to be, sir, with high respect and consideration, your most obedient and humble servant, H.S. FOX. _Mr. Stevenson to Lord Palmerston_. [Extract.] 23 PORTLAND PLACE, _August 10, 1837_. The undersigned will avail himself of the occasion to remind Lord Palmerston of the urgency which exists for the immediate and final adjustment of this long-pending controversy [respecting the northeastern boundary] and the increased obstacles which will be thrown in the way of its harmonious settlement by these repeated collisions of authority and the exercise of exclusive jurisdiction by either party within the disputed territory. He begs leave also to repeat to his lordship assurances of the earnest and unabated desire which the President feels that the controversy should be speedily and amicably settled, and to express the anxiety with which the Government of the United States is waiting the promised decision of Her Majesty's Government upon the proposition submitted to it as far back as July, 1836, and which the undersigned had been led to believe would long since have been given; and he has been further directed to say that should this proposition be disapproved the President entertains the hope that some new one, on the part of Her Majesty's Government, will immediately be made for the final and favorable termination of this protracted and deeply exciting controversy. The undersigned begs Lord Palmerston to receive renewed assurances of his distinguished consideration. A. STEVENSON. WASHINGTON, _September 26, 1837_. _To the House of Representatives of the United States_: In compliance with that part of the resolution of the House of Representatives of the 9th of January last which relates to the diplomatic correspondence of the late William Tudor while charge d'affaires of the United States to Brazil, I transmit a report from the Secretary of State, together with the documents by which it was accompanied. M. VAN BUREN. WASHINGTON, _September 30, 1837_.
