Annapolis, Nov. 4. General P. B. Porter, the United States' Commissioner, and the Hon. A. Parcell, his Britannic Majesty's Commissioner under the seventh article of the Treaty of Ghent, arrived in this city on Tuesday morning the 14th instant, together with Joseph Delaplain, Esq. American Agent, Dr. Tiarks, British Astronomer, Captain Frederick, Esq. American Astronomer, Major Donalson and Fraser, Secretary to the Board, and R. B. Williams, Assistant Secretary.
Meetings of the Board are held on Tuesday and Wednesday for the purpose of adjusting some preliminary ones preparatory to the final close of the commission which will be effected in the course of a few months.
We learn, also with pleasure, that there is every probability, if not an absolute certainty, that this commission will terminate, like the same heretofore executed by the government, in a friendly and perfect agreement in the course of this long and complicated line—thus avoiding a recourse to the arbitration of a foreign government as provided for by the Treaty in case of disagreement between the Commissioners.
