And Kumpler mention a cirquetance showing sho estimation in which they were held thero in the middle of the seventeenth century; (Appendir, p. 66).

It is quita pailta that enah may have prouts which have not yet been stated; but, until wool are produced, the case of neither is strong enough to establish a right to passession.

Great Britain did not admit the force of this or of the United States' other arguments, and the dispute was aoltled, as our readers know, by a partition of the disgated territory, in 1846.
