Henri/ Jl. Wise, —-The New York Herald
thinks that ‘‘the federalists were injudicious
in -selecting this man, crimsoned wilh.ihc

a question of public' morals.”
|CJ“The committee of the House of llep
resentatives have reported a bill, appVbpri.v'
ting 8 45,000 to defray the expenses of Joseph
Ritner’s military campaign. This sum, it is
estimated, will be sufficient to pay the troops
for one month’s service.
The bill for the protection of the Nbrth
easteru Boundary passed both Houses of
Congress nearly unanimously. According
to its provisions, the President, if the neces
sity should arise, is authorised to accept the
services of 50,000 volunteers, to "be paid at
the same rate of regular troops, and also to
put the entire naval force in commission.—
$ 10,000,000 is appropriated to carry the
provisions of the bill into effect. We shall
publish the bill next week.
The Secretary and the British
Minister have entered into a temporary ar
rangement on behalf of their respective Go
vernments, to prevent if possible immediate
mischief on the north-eastern frontier,- and
to leave time for a consultation on the part'
of the Provincial-authorities of New Bruns
wick with the Home Government. The
substance of which arrangement is 1 as fol
lows, viz: Neither party shall attempt to
occupy the disputed territory with an armed
force; but if future necessity should, arise :
for dispersing notorious trespassers, or pro-,
tecting public property from depredation,
by armed force, the operation shall be con
ducted hy concert, jointly Or separately, ac
cording to agreement between tlie Govern
ments of Maine and; Brunswick—at
the sametime, however, nothing in-this Ar
rangement shall be construed, to fortify or
weaken the claim of either party to ultimate'
possession. This arrangement has only the
force of recommendation, as the British Min
ister acts without specific authority-from
his Government, and may be taken for. just
what it is worth, Our opinion is,- that the
British Government wilf never peaceably
surrender-their unjust. claim to the ter
ritory, and this temporary policy is only en
tered: into on the part of jta functionary, in
order to gain time and take measures, for the
possession of the disputed district.
The Public ff'onts.—Peraons from all sec
tions of the Commonwealth, says {lie Key-'

The Boundari/ Qucs'tion.~ The Nprn%-
fown Register thus, sums up the merits'ol
the controversy which now exists between
the United-States and Great Britain in rela
tion to the question of Boundary:
“ft will be seen that notwithstanding the
existence of an agreement between the two
powers to. permit the territory in dispute to
remain wholly neutral and unoccupied iijitil
the claim is finally adjudicated, 'thatßritish'
subjects are-consfantly employed in cutting
and removing valuable timber growing upon
it, aud it also appenrs that the Governor of
the British Province .of New Brunswick
claims exclusive jurisdiction over the dispu
ted territory; by instructions of the British
Government. The territory in dispute be
longs, to the State of Maine—is part and
parcel of the ferritory of the UniterL-Stales
guaranteed by the treaty of : 1788, from
which time;:until the treaty of Ghe'nt; in
1815, no intimation was over given by the
British Government that they entertained
the least claim or title to’any part of it. At
.the treaty of 1815, the British Commission
ers applied to the Commissioners on the part
of the United States for a portion of said
territory,.. for which they offered an equiva
lent, which, of course, was rejected on the
part of the Commissioners of the U. States,
theyhaving no power to make n cession of
any portion of our territory. Being foiled
in acquiring it by cession, they subsequent
ly laid claim to a much greater extent of
territory than they at first attempted to ob
tain by cession-. ‘ These are the facts of the
case,—and the whole circumstance shows an
attempted aggression on the part of Great
Britain, and an intention to acquire territory
id this .country wholly incompatible with
every sense of right or jifstice. The able
report on this subject made to the Senate_of
the United States, last year, by the Hon.
James Buchanan; establishes ogr title to the
whole territory in dispute, and that by evi
dence in,possession of thfe British Govern
ment, and from their od n r'ecords”
tCW’No collision has place be
tween the troops of Maine and New'Bruns
wick.' ’
elections in the different boroughs
and townships, for borough and township of
ficers, will take place, according to law, on
Friday the 15th iilst.
Si. Louis, —The annual value of exports
from St. Louis, is estimated at two millions
of dollars. The shipments of lead, alone,
are stated -to be equal toiialfamillion—and
the furs, $400,000 in a year. The aggre-'
gate'value of horses and mules sent from,
Missouri info the cotton gr'owingSfatcs, do
ing the past year, is estimated at $150,000.
Loss of the Protector East Indiaman. —
Accounts from India announce the loss of
this ship, bound from London to Calcutta,
at Sands Head, near the place of her desti
nation. Out of 178 persons on board, only
eight were saved, viz: 7 recruits and 1 sca
mdn. The number of recruits on board was
117, accompanied by 16 women & 10 chil

Jllessage from tlfc President.
To.the Senate of the U. States: , .
I lay before . congress several despatches
from his Excellency the Governor of Maine,
with enclosures, communicating certain pro
ceedings, of the Legislature of that State, and
a copy of the reply of the Secretary of State,
made by my direction, together with a note
from H. S. Fox, Esq. Envoy-Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary of Great Brit
ain, with tire answer of the Secretary of State
to the same. -
’lt will appear from these documents that
a numerous band of lawless and desperate
men, chitfly from the adjoining British Pro
vinces, but without the authority,or sanction
of the Provincial Government, had trespassed
upon that portion of-the territory in dispute
between the U. S. and Great Britain which is
watered by.the. river Aroostook, and claimed
to belong to the State of Maine; and fhatthey
had committed very extensive depredations
there by cutting and destroying a.yery large
quantity of timber; It will further appear
that the Governor of Maine, having.been of
ficially apprised, of the. circumstance, had
communicated it to.the Legislature, with a
recommendation of such provisions, 'inaddi
tion to those already existing by law,, as
would enable him to arrest the course ofsaid
depredations,' disperse the trespassers, and
secure the, timber which they were about
carrying away; that in compliance with a re
solve of the Legislature, passed in pursuance
of his recommendation, his Excellency, had
despatched the land Agent of the State, . with
a force deemed adequate to that purpose, to
the scene of : the alleged depredations,, who,
after accomplishing a part ofbisduty, was
seized by,a. band, of the trespassers, at a
house claimed to be-within thejurisdiction of
Maine, whitherhe had repaired for .the pur
pose of meeting and consulting with the land
agent of the Pfoyincp.tbgetlier with two other j
citizens assisting liim:
in, the discharge .of his duty ' ' i
i It will also appear that'the.Gbveruqf and j
Legislature of Maine, satisfied that the tres-1
passers had acted in' defiance of the liuvs of
both countries,learning that they were ifi pb ;
session of arms,’ and anticipating (correctly,
as the result his proved) that persons pftheir
rccklesa and desperate : set

public properly. ' ‘ !
In tlie cOrrMp6iia|nce bciwoeft tlie GoV-
t me*
ernor of Maine am) Sir J.ohn- Harvey, Lieu-j
enant Governor , of-the Province of New
Brunswick, which lias grown out of these oc
currences, and is likewise herewith, commu
nicated, the'former is requested to recall the
armed party advanced into the disputed, ter
ritory for the ai;rcst of trespassers, and is in
formed that a strong hody of llritish troops
is tp be held,in.readiness to support and pro
tect the authority and subjects of Great Brit
ain'iirsaid territory. In answer to that rc
3ucst the Provincial Governor is informed of
etermination of the State of Maine to sup
port the land agent and his party, in the per
formance of their duty,' and the same deter
mination, for the execution of which provision
is made by a resolution of,the State Legisla
ture, is' communicated by the Governor'to
-the General Government.
The Lieutenant Governor of New Bruns
wick, in calling upon the Governor of Maine
for the recall of the land agent and his party
from the disputed territory, 'and the British
Minister ip making a similar” demand upon
the Government of the U. S. proceed upon 1
the assumption that an-agreerii'ent exists be
tween the two nations.conceding to Great
Britain, until • the final settlement of the
boundary question, exclusive poseasion of,
and jurisdiction over, the territory in dispute.
The important hearing a Inch such an agree
ment, if it existed, would have upon the
condition and'interests of the parties, an,dtlffi
influence it mighUuivtv-upon tlie adjustment
of the dispute, are toH.'obVious to allow the
error upon which this assumption seems to
rest to pass for a-momeiit without correction,
The answer of the Secretary of State to Mr.
Fox’s note, will show the ground taken by
the Government of the U. S. upon this point.
It is believed that all the. correspondence,
which has passed between the two Govern
ments upon this subject has already been
communicated to Congress, and is now on
their files.. An abstract of it, however has
tily prepared-accompanies this communica
tion. It is possible that in thus abridging a
voluminous correspondence, 'commencing in
1825 and continuing to a very recent period,
a portion may have been accidentally over
looked; but it is believed that nothing has
taken place which would materially change
the aspect of the question as therein presented.
Instead of sustaining the assumption of the
British functionaries, that correspondence,
disproves the existence of any such agree
ment. It shows that the two Governments
have differed not.oul-y-in regard to flic main
question of title to the territory in dispute,
but with reference also to the right of juris
diction, and the fact ol the . actual exercise
of it in different portions thereof. Always
aiming at on amicable adjustment of the
dispute, both parties have entertained and
repeatedly urged upon each other a desire,
that each should exercise its rights whatever
itcohsidered them to.be, in such a manner as
to avoid collision, arid allay, to, the,greatest
practicable extent, the exciterricrit likely to
grow out of tlie controversy. It was in pur
suance of such an understanding that Maine
ami Massachusetts; upon the remonstrances
of Great Britain, desisted from making sales
of lands, and the General Government from
tire construction of a projected military road
in a portion of the territory of which they
claimed to have enjoyed 'the exclusive po
session; and that Great Britain,ion her part,
in defence to ri-similar remonstrance from
the U,, S. suspended the issue-of licenses to
cut timber in, the territory in controversy,
and also the survey and location of a rail
( road through a-section of country over which
! she also claimed to have exercised exclusive
; jurisdiction.
The State of Maine had a right to arrest,
the depredations complained of; it belonged,
to her to judge of the exigency of the oc
casion calling for her'interfererice ; and-it
is presumed that had the Lieutenant Gover
nor of New Brunswick been correctlvadyised
of the nature of the proceedingsjif'tlie State
of Maine, he would not have regarded the
transaction as requiring, on his part, any
resort to force. Each party claiming a right
to the territory, and hence to the exclusive
jurisdiction over it, it is manifest that to
prevent the destruction of the timber by tres
passers, acting against the authority of both,
and at the same time avoid forcible collision
between'the contiguous Governments during
the pendency of negotiations concerning the
title, resort must be had to the
cise of jurisdiction in such extreme,cases, or
to an amicable and temporary arrangement
as to the limits within which it should be
exercised by each party. The u nderstanding
supposed to exist between the United States'
and Great Britain has been found heretofore
sufficient for that purpose, and 1 believe, will
prove so hereafter, if the parties oh the fron
tier, directly inteces'ted in'the question, are
respectively governed biy a just spirit of
conciliation and .forbearance. If it shall be
found, as there is now reason to apprehend,
that there is, in the modes of construing that
understanding by the'two, Governments, a
difference jmt to ho. reconciled ,1 shall not
hesitate to propose to. her, Britaiiic majesty’s

ident would fecl-it his duty to submit another
proposition to the Government of Great
Britain, to'refer the decision of the question

upon the subject, and until this step shall have
been taken, ! cannot think it proper to invoke
the attention of Congress to other than ami
cable means fqr'the settlement of the contro-
versy,' or to cause tlie militarypower-of the
Federal Government to be brought in aid of
the State of Maine, in any attempt to effect
that object by a resort to force.
On the other hand, if the authorities of New
Brunswick should a'ttempt to enforce the
dlaim of. exclusive jurisdiction set up by
them, by merins of a military occupation on
their part ot the disputed territory, I shall
feel myself bound reconsider the contingency
provided by the Constitution as-having oc
curred, on of which a State has
the right to call for the aid of the Federal
Government to repel invasion..
I have expressed to the British Minister
