NORTHEASTERN BOUNDARY.
We copy from a Maine and New Btunswick
paper, the (bUewing articles in reference to the
North Eastern Boundary. The unsettled condi
tion of that question, Invests every thing which
comes from that quarter with interest.
From Iks Bangor ( Maine) HMg.
We learn from die Woodstock Times, that
the eleventh regiment will tnhe up their quarters
for the winter at Lake Tnuiisquatn. The same
paper adds, that “on express passed trough this
place last Monday, on his ivny . from Montreal
to Frcdericdou, with despatches from the Govern-
nor General to Sir John Harvey. We hove
notleameddienatureofthodcspatcb. Tho mes
senger arrived hereyesterdayon his return, He
brought intelligence diat the left wing of the 3Sdi
regiment would proceed to Grand Falls. We
consider diese movements as very judicious, at
their object, no doubt, ie to keep the communica
tion open between die provinces.
It will not he forgotten that threats have been
frequently made of stopping the meil thiswin-
ter.es wolt as the fact that Gov. Fairfield atands
pledged to take possession ofthe whole disputed
leiiiiury during the present season. - Under these
circumstances we consider these • movements ex
ceedingly well-timed, as in the event of an attempt
to carry dieae threats into execution, wo should
not bo taken by surprise as we were'lnst win-
ter.
Gov. Fairfield's semi-official paper in this city
has stated that, “if the two nations do not ran tho
lino as soon as it may be done, and in case the
two countriee are not involved in war, it wilT bo
incumbent upon Maine to prepare for taking
S oasession of the lend north or the St. John
liter. This would atop tho mail and ent oil"
tho Communication between the British Pro
vinces.”
This declaration was put forth last March,
and as neither ofthe. contingencies men ibnetl
have happened, wc may suppose that die New
Bruiuwickers have good cause for making pre
paration to r*mnl the forces of Mains. They are
gone suckers, unless some decisive movements
ore soon made towards a settlement.

The IIouso of Representatives to-day, spent
much time this forenoon in discussing the bill to
givo the right to increase her issues to tho Central
Bank, Sue. Thc.consiitutionaVity of that Institu
tion was individually discussed, and seems to bo
quite a grave ouo, aud fttmi uu intimation of opin
ion recently given from the Bench ofthe Gth Cir
cuit Court of tho United States, holden in this
city, will probaby at some future day be judicial
ly investigated, and is of some doubt. The bill
was laid on the table for the prescut.
The Senate devoted tho day to the discussion
of Mr. Gordon’s bill, which was mentioned in my
notice of yesterday’s proceedings. ,*Much was
urged in relation to tho propriety of the State
takiug stocks in any Roil Road, or lending her
credit, Ac., aud also of the liberality of the State
in time* past to Savannah—more feeling was dis
played than it is at all agreeable to witness, and
plainly indicates that oven in our highest dolibera?

03* The National Intelligencer of the 7th ihst.
says—“ Five days have passed of the Session of
Congress, and the House of Representatives is
not yet organized for the transaction of business.
The debate which had occupied the four pre
ceding days was continued yesterday, without
losing any of its interest, or abating any thing of

cing one step beyond tba position which it took
’on Thursday afternoon, when it appointed a pre

RAIL ROAD ACCIDENT. ’
'Wo regret to learn (says the Aiigusta Chronicle
$f Sentinel ofthe 9th inst) that an accident occur
red on tho Georgia Rail Road, about forty-five
miles from this city, on Friday last, which had
well nigh proven to have been of a serions char,
acter. Two freight trains going up, uielunother
coming down; the engineer of the foremost train
going up, on perceiving the train coming doivn,
stopped Ills locomotive ond returned towards the
last station, pinning backwards, Vhen ho met the
other train which was proceeding up, and a con
cussion, took place between the locomotive of
that train and the hindmost cars of hi* train. The
locomotive was slightly, and five cars seriously
damaged. No body hurt or injured in any way.
The cars which were injured were going up emp
ty for the purpose of bringing down cotton.
From the St. Johns (N. B.) Chronicle.
■ A strong solicitude appears to be felt abont the
further'proceedings which ar® u>****>• ?*•
Commissioners.
\Ve learn that, tho party from the Metis River ar
rived in town on Saturday evening, and therefore
suppose'every thing connected with the explora
tion closed, at least for the season. We perceive
that some ofthe Mama papers represent the
Commissioners as having merely crossed theDis-
puted Territory, and gone to Quebec, without
visiting their famous North West Angle. These
sneers appear to us very injudicious, os they cer
tainly arc premature. Our editora! brethren in
Maine must have had but indifferent means of
knowing what Her Majesty’s Commissioners
were doing. We think it might have occurred to
them that ill-tempered paragraphs drawn up'with
out information, can mislead tho public but for a
short time, and then serve only to injure their au
thors and the cause they espouse. We have nev
er ventured any of our own conjectures about
the proceedings of the Commissioners, being in
fact without any authentic information respecting
them. In August last, we stated that we had
heard their pluns tended “to elucidate facts inter
esting to both countries,'’’ and such as might facil
itate the friendly settlement of our boundary with
the United States. Such^appears to have been
t ie general understanding about this mission, aud
upon these grounds we have always thought the
labors ofthe Commissioners were entitled to the
respect and good wishes of our. neighborshs well
as o:i:a fiver. To judge from what we have heard
of tin se labors, they deserve the approbation of all
interested j u preserving peace and good neigh
borhood betweeu the two countries. In the short
apace of three months since the arrivnl dr Lieut.
Col. Mudse and Mr. Featherstonlmugh in this
Province they, wiih well organized and efficient
parties, have examined the surface ofthe country,
from tho western termination ofthe Bay of Chal-
our to tho western sources ofthe Penobscot qud
Chaudiere; the whole of the Allegash country,
from its source to its junction with the St. John's;
the line of the lloostook from its extreme sources
to its month; and that ofthe St. John’s riverfrom
i* sources in tho Highlands which divide it from
the waters of the Penobscot, along its whole
course to the sea. To this laborious investigation
they have added a critical examination of the line
cl timed by Maine os the true boundury in the
Trpaty of 1783, from tho Etchemia River to the
Metis lakes, this last' portion of the work being
effected under circumstances of great difficulty,
and attended with personal sufferings. The liue
ofcountry comprehended in thin description, ex
tends to about seven hundred miles, along the
whole Of which Barometrical admeasurements
have, we understand, been carefully taken. The
great number of interesting facts thus, for the first
time collected, must, we think, h.ivc ap important
influence bn tho final decision of a* question that
many able men have in vain ‘attempted to settle
for near sixty years. /
Wo do not pretend even to gues at the natuj-c
of the results the Commissioners will bo prepar
ed to lay before Her Majesty Government.
The want of accurate information Respecting thfr
physical geography of the unsettled country we
have spoken of has been the principal cause of
the failure of every attempt to * establish our
boundary.—This want, we hope uud believe, will
now bo supplied. We may reasonably suppose
that our M ctropolitnn Government will soon be in
possession ofsiicti information us will’ enable
them to understand clearly the nature of oitr
own rights, as well as that of the claims of our
neighbours. That regardfor justico and the
u icicd character of Treaties which lias always
distinguished Groat Britain will, we have no
doubt, constitute the rule of her action on this mo-
cicntou oecdwloij. Assorting no right that is at

almost out-did himself in his able and determined
opposition to Ibis humiliating measure. Words
arc almost inadequate to convey a just conception
ofthe feelings, with which this talented Represen
tative was regarded. It must suffice to remark,
that his effort was worthy his own distinguished
reputation, v an<l the patriotic cause in which he
strove. Mr. Chappell.also ftirnished the House,
in reply to Col. Kenan, with many interesting
views of this subject. lie appealed ill eloquent
strains to the patriotism, the philanthropy and
justice of the House.
There Was au . effort to pospone the further

Mr. Stephens, of THliufbrro, also participated

glcdovc, her former commander, Captain Fayrcr,
bqing. as we undersand, sick. 8he left Liver

which b, as. will be perceived, of a most grain

Correspondence ofthe Courier Sf Enquirer.
London, November 15,'1839.
The steam ship Liverpool—which arrived in
England after struggling in the ^greatest style
through very stormy seta, and against on almost
uninterrupted succession of contrary winds—
departs ngaiu to-morrow bn her voyage tp New
York. The arrival of this vessel must be sup
posed to be expected ip the United States with
all that anxietywhich cannot but exist where the
community iH concerned for the results ofthe ex
traordinary intelligence which this vessel convey
ed to England—and an account of the con
sequences of which tho Liverpool b ulinost cer
tain to be again the first 'to carry buck to the
United States.
Though tho Liverpool steam-ship was certain
ly expected with some feelings* of apprehension
—yet there was no party or person who was not
filled with astonishment at the precipitation of
such events ns the suspension of cash payments
by the United States. The long catalogue of
fires, and other misfortunes, which came by the
same vessel, at any other time would have excit
ed fnnch interest and sympathy ih this country;
but there is too large a portion of tho population
of England dependent upon the American trade,
that the principal subject of attention should not
be supposed to be the recent wide-spread crash
amongst the Banks of the United States.
The effect of tins intelligence fins been worse in
England than was probably anticipated by the
American mercantile community, or by the direc
tion ofthe Bank 6f the U. States. Tho difficul
ties ju which the London agency bad been invol
ved for iflfmo time past, wore considered to bo
fully overcome by tho very skilful urrangomcub
winch luid boon mudo in London, find which
wore in a Author prosperous train in iha city of
Amsterdam, aud therefore no person could have
anticipated that oven before tho arrival of the
Liverpool stoam ship, payment should have been
suspended by tho Bank ofthe United States. It
has been noticed that tho Bank did noton this
occasion, ns in tho year 1836, yield only after
seeing so many other eatablbhmenta had given
way—ahtl moreover, tho subsequent publication
in the London journals of the state oftho os-
sots and liabilities of the institution, has been
viewed by practical hankers oa exhibiting much
mismanagement, particularly in. tho stoking so
large t\ part oftho resources in dead •rfcurUiea—
this bningm violation of tlmt first rule in all bank
ing that the assets should be always preserved
within your reach. Tohave been iit possosaion of
no more than a single million of dollars in specie,
is also looked upon as a truly improper exhibition
ofthe available resources of tho Bank of tho Unt
ied States. .. . , ,
Tho offect of this intelligence bns been that the
shares oftho Bank havo Fallen IVotft £19 10s. or
£20 to £10 5s. which has been .the quotation tor
tho last three days k nml oontinuos to the 'latest
hour of this afternoon. Tho premium oil the

Amongst tho hankers and capitoU.ts of London
Ihcro is daily utoro confidence in tho future value
oftho shares oftho Bank, for it is believed that the
accounts taken out by tiio Great Western oftho
successful negocinlion of Mr. Jattdonfor tho loan
of £800,000 will so tranquilliao the American
markets that on' tho return of this vessol, many
well informed persons anticipate en oarly dissipa
tion of tho present gloom..
As a measuro of prudence in future time*—it
may bo worthy of remarking, upon tlio small
amount oftho “ rest"—which appears in Uto pub
lished accounts ofthe assols of tlio Dank oftho
United States. This is attributed to a payment
in otto large sunt, and of tho bonds to tlio State of
Pennsylvania, for tlio ro-charlering ofthe Bank)
but more properly, the smallitess ofthis accumu
lation may bo attributed to tlio liectllossly large
dividends which have been paid on the atock of
tho Bank. Tho reduction 7 nor. cent.' of the di
vidends ontho stock ofthe Bank ofl-nglniid—
might bo very advantageously imitated by the
Uauk of the United Stales, and thia would not
weaken hut strengthen tho credit ofthe institution
—since tho surplus capital is always tho property
oftho shorohoidore; who with a diminished pre
sent dividend are stilt partaking of Ike benefits
which abundance of resources must olways'atTord
in the corresponding value of tho shares of a
hank.
Whilst, then, there ore parties who entortn'n
no doubt oftho ultimate return of a more eatufue-
tory condition of Uto affairs.of tho Bank ofthe U.
States, and ofthe general American trade—it is
yet unfortunately too true that the sudden depre
ciation in the value of the stock of the Bank has
uiostseriously injured great numbers oflhiuilics,
who, in all-parts of the kingdom, arc the miscella
neous holders ofthe shares—and that in tho man
ufacturing districti of Lancashire and Yorkshire,
tlio late intelligence from the United States has
most extensively uggravuted tho already too
gloomy prospects of the ensuing winter months.
- Let us hope, however, that, Ipr tho honor of
tlio republic, this crash in tho monetary system Of
the country is the Inst which shall occur.. The
disadvantages with which alt eounneicu is oppress
ed, .through tlio mistaken policy of a gold circula
tion, are yet'not sufficient us a justification of the
rapid recurrence of thoso snspnnaioni of payment
by tho great mass or tho Banks of tho United
States.
The general money market nt London was not
nficctqd materially, or for more than tlirca days af
ter die arrival of tlio iutelligeuoe by tlio Liverpool
steamship.. It is now beginning to ho tlio opin
ion that monetary elfuirs may he expected to prove
brighter than for tome time past. Tho foreign
exchanges have been rather more fjvnipblo-tor
the last two days, and very considerable additions
are said to havo recently beet! made to the amount
of gold in tho possession of tito Bank of England
Tins, however, must be considered as not a symp
tom ofany revival of the general commerce ofthe
conutry; for though Uie absolute and pressing
fears of a suspension of cash payments by the
Bank of England may have been diminished with
in tho last few days, yet the addition of gold has
Qplyjia.n-.htainud by a continuation of tin. ms.i
' violent contraction of the circulation, with ail Its
distressing influence upon general trade. It is to
be observed, ulso. that the cessation of the drain
Upon the vaults of tlio Bank, may lie attributed to
die temporary suspension of tho importations of
foreign wheat—for the duty upon wheat lias risen
to 18s. 8d. per auarter; bitt this being c msed en
tirely by.the had quality, and consequent low pri
ces of tlio English wheat of the present season,will
cease to havo tho samo operation, in tho courso of
a few weeks, or months, when, either tho wheat
will bo sufficiontly improved in quality, to be sale
able nt the high prices Which are natural at a time
wheta the rciu deficiency is so great, or, otherwise
will havo boon given to-the cattle, or consumed in
the breweries and distileries; and Uto prices of
tho remaining stock of sound wheat wili conse
quently cause the averages to rise, aud the duty to
fall to the minimum rate.. A reuewul oftho im
portation of groin, and exportation of gold, would
then immediately take place; and then recur Uto
difficulty of the Bank of England, and on aggrava-
Uon of all the troubles which Uie unfortunate fail

will not say that it produced no sensation, but it
certainly produced none comparatively with tlie

- The commercial intercourse of France with the
United States, is, asyou are aware, extousivoi—
By returns published last week by Govqrnmcnt.it
appears that France exported to all Uie world in
1838, merchandize of tho vnlne of nearly 1,100,-
090,000 Danes, (ii ,009,000 of dollars-) Ofthis
amount, 0110 sixth (170,000,000 of francs) went to
tho United States. Nevertheless tlio mouey trans

Wo are happy to have it ih our power' to odd,
on good authority, that Mr. Jaudon had obtained
a further lonn in London to the amount of £240,-

ties, and timt this sum will enable'him to meet (til
his acceptances and post notes fulling duo before
tlio 1st of January next
tion would have been sufficiently spirited to rou*
market from the state of lethargy into which it I
fallen. Tliis, however, has not been the coie, L
transactions have assumed their wonted inactim
owing to the advices hourly expected by the Lil
pool steamer which are generally supposed to br
an important tenor. Consequently, since the del
ture of tho last packet, there has been no materit
tcration to notice in prices, and the sales have b
chiefly ia ordinary descriptions, in which some furl
purchases have been made for trausit. The rect|
daring the years 1838-39, were less than those iu]
mer years, the falling off being ia the arrivals If
Charleston and Mobile. No importation! wht
have come iq this year from Virginia.

an officer of the frigate,Columbia, the former
dated July 16th and the latter July I9th. The
vessels were then lying at IIong-Ko'ngVbut were
(q sail in a few days for-life Pacific. There had
been much sickness on board the frigate, 124 ou
the sick_ list at ono time, with tlio dysentnry.

Tlie letter from tho John Adamr expresses n
strong belief that tho English and Chinese will
come to blows. A number of English ships were
anchored at Hong-Kong, and were ordered by tho
Chinese authorities \o remove thence to Wham
poa, but the captains refused, arid if attempts
were made to force them, they declared that they
would resist.
It was said, moreover, that two mandarins had
been seized and held in durance by the English;
also that frequent affrays took place on 'shore, in
one of which a Chinaman was killed, and gome
woirien and children were wounded. . .
