Referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, and ordered to be printed. To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States : I transmit herewith the copy of a report from the commissioners for the exploration and survey of the northeastern boundary, in addition to the documents sent to Congress with reference to a further appropriation for the completion of the duty intrusted to the commission. M. VAN BUREN. WASHINGTON, February 8, 1841. Report of the commissioners appointed by the President of the United States, under the act of Congress of 20th July, 1840, for the purpose of exploring and surveying the boundary-line between the States of Maine and New Hampshire, and the British Provinces. NEW YORK, January 6, 1841.0 SIR: The commissioners having assembled in this city, in conformity with your orders under date of 29th of July, beg leave respectfully to re- port: That the extent of country, and the great length of the boundary-line in- cluded in the objects of their commission, would have rendered it impossible to have completed the task assigned them within the limits of a single season. In addition to this physical impossibility, the work of the present year was entered upon under circumstances very unfavorable for making any great progress. The law under which they have acted, was passed at the last period of a protracted session, when nearly half of the season, during which working parties can be kept in the field, had elapsed ; and although no delay took place in the appointment of commissioners to carry it into effect, the organization of the board was not effected, in consequence of the refusal of one of the commissioners and the agent to accept of their nomination. The commissioners, acting under these disadvantages, have done all that lay in Blair & Rives, printers.
