Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lord Salisbury´s Mistakes In his official note of the 26th of November last, intended as a reply to Mr. Olney´s of the 20th of July, Lord Salisbury makes some very surprising statements relative to the boundary dispute with Venezuela, which, in all probability, he would not repeat now; but since they remain without qualification or amendment, seem to demand some notice. He states, for instance, that the boundary dispute "did not, in fact, commence till after the year 1840;" that "the title of Great Britain to the territory in question is derived, in the first place, from conquest and military occupation of the Dutch settlements in 1796;" and that "both on this occasion, and at the time of a previous occupation of those settlements in 1781, the British authorities marked the western boundary of their possessions as beginning some distance up the Orinoco beyond Point Barima, in accordance with the limits claimed and actually held by the Dutch." It is hardly necessary to point out that the dispute began at a much earlier date than 1840. In the year 1822, the Colombian Confederation, of which Venezuela was then a constituent member, instructed its Minister at London to inform the British Government that any English settlers west of the Esequibo, would be expected either to retire or to place themselves under the jurisdiction of the Colombian authorities.
