DETROIT, JUNE 9.

By the Steam Boat, which arrived here last Friday, came passengers the Rev. J. Morse, D. D. and his son, the Rev. R. S. Morse; they are on their tour among the Indian tribes to the north and west. Also, Col. Hill and Col. Barclay, British Commissioners, (under the treaty of Ghent,) and Gen. Porter, the American Commissioner, together with the Secretaries, Doctor Bigsby, of the British, and Maj. Fraser, of the American Commission. We learn that they have commenced their labors at the mouth of Detroit river, where they were discontinued last autumn. A review of some articles which have from time to time appeared in the newspapers, relating to the progress of the Commissioners in marking the division line, would induce a belief that they have been somewhat dilatory in their proceedings. The great importance, however, of the object of the Commissioners, to both nations, and particularly to the United States, and a belief that the gentlemen employed have the best interests of their respective nations at heart, warrant the assertion, that considerable progress will be made during the present season. It is but justice again to notice, that, for some time previous to the close of their labors last year, their operations were much retarded by sickness.
