( Hear , hear . ) ' It was not a volnminons report which was wanted , in fact the bulk of the reports of tbe Horse of Commons , precluded them from be-in ? of any use to the couHtry . aud the Houses of Lords and Commons would laugh the sufferings of tbe people to scorn ; but the object of the motion was , in fact , te bring the matter home in a lucid shape to the firesides of the people themselves and thereby urge them to a sense of their ri ^ ht * . He would second the
motion . Mr . Richardson- thongbt that Jlr . Marsden would find his object accomplished by a motioa of Dr . Taylor ' js for embodying all the facts which appeared of importance in a pamphlet to be published at the expense of the Cunventien . Dr . Taylor said he had not had an opportunity of speaking to Mr . Marsden privately , and as tbe motion now before the House appeared to be embodied in hi ? , he had waited to hear Mr . MarsdeaV views on the point , and they seemed to coincide so completely with his own , only that they did not go so far ai he intended , —( Hear : }—that he wouLd suggest to the mover the propriety of rather aiding
in fetbng np ° the report he contemplated , than in proposing another one . His ( Dr . T .

The BXtent'of the arrangement between the two Government * does n « rt app ^ ter , as construed fey the American Government , to hare gone further than
the recognition of the jurisdiction of each over the people and the lands tlV ^ n- operated upon by i » . It ihene inhabitants had taken out ± e titles of their landsfrom either one G-ovemra-nt or the other , and were in the habit of resorting to its * judicial authority tor the preservation of order , thea thr ; y were to cootiaue m to d ^ i until the question of ultimate ownership should be finally decided in some inode satisfactory to both Governments . The propriety ol this arMn ^ envnt will not be questioned by the eommitte ^ .

Demonstrating in this conclusive manner that it was not influenced by a captious spirit of discontent , the Government of the United Stat .-s derived from this stntc of the case a right tti nppeal to the Britwh-Government to expedite the ii : ial adjustment of the controversy , and to claim in
the meantime the inll benefit on its part of an arrangement which , perhaps , gave to its adversary more tnau an equal share of advantages .

A little debate followed between Mr . Adams , Mr . Evaus , iMr . Lesare , and Mr . Howard . Mr . Adams wished the ¦ chairman of the committhe to alter his report in one or two remarks . The report stated that in two instances tho British Government h ; id claimed exclusive jnrisdiction over the deputed territory . He did not consider the British Government had made any such claim . Mr . Evans repeated that Sir John Harvey had clvimed the jurisdiction , stating that he was instructed and directed to exercise such iurisdiction . J " This , " said Mr . Adams , " is true . But this was a mere construction by Sir John Harvey of instructions . "
