their boundaries, a dispute in which both
parties appealed for a settlement to the
President of the United States of America, and
which was adjusted by him.

Between the United States of North
America and Denmark, in which the latter
was, by the chosen arbitrator, the English
Ambassador at Athens, Sir Edward Monson,
after long delay freed from the obligation to
pay compensation to the Americans, because
the Danish authorities had fired at an
American ship which in 1854 was escaping
out of the harbour of St. Thomas, and which
was suspected of carrying supplies to Venezuela,
at that time in insurrection.

In conclusion it can be urged,—

That France and Holland agreed to have
the boundary between their possessions in
Guiana determined by arbitration.[1]


[1] At the Peace of Utrecht, 1713, it was decided that the
course of the river Maronis was the boundary. But that
river divides itself into two branches which embrace a large
tract of land, almost a fifth part of French Guiana. Neither
France nor Holland had claimed that land until gold beds
were discovered there, and it had to be decided which of
the two arms of the river was to be considered as the
Maronis, and which as a tributary.
