Auousta. Tuesday, March 13. Thie dav, at eleven o'clock, tlw* Governor com* munlcated Uki following Message to Um Legisla ture;— To the Sennit and Home of RrprrientaHves— I herewith ley before you certain document, that have been transmitted to me by tho lion. John For* avth, Secretary of State, to wilt—Message of the President of the United States, transmitted to Con* girts on thn 20th of Feb.—Letter from Mr. Fox, the British Minister, to Mr. Forsyth, under date of 23d of the same moiitli—nod thn reply of tlio Utter on the 23th—letter of Mr. rox to Mr. Forsyth, of the 25th ult.—Memorandum of nn agreement between Mr. Fox and Mr. Forsyth of tm> some date—and two letters from Mr. Forsyth to die Governor of this State; under date of 20th and 27th ultimo. By tho agreement referred to, It will lm pcrcoiv* ed, dint Mr. Fox and Forsyth, widiout claiming to act with aodiority, lutvo recommended that "her Majesty’s forces w ill not seek to ex|>et by military force, the armed party which lias been sent by Maine into tho district bordering on tho Aroostook riven but tho Government of Maine will voluntari ly, and without unnecessary delay, withdraw be yond die bounds of thn disputed teritorv any arm* ed force now within thorn; and that if future no* cessity should arise for dispersing notorious tress passers, or protecting public property from <1 nations by armed force, thn operation shall bo ducted by concert, joindy or separately, according to agreement between the Government* of Maine and New Urunswick.'' Tills, it is said, is recom mended to tlio Governments of Maine and Now Brunswick, "to regulate their future proceedings ac cording to the termshcrrinbcfnrttseilirnrth, until the final settlement of tlio territorial dispute, or until the Government of tho United States nud Great Britain shall come to some definite conclusion on die subordinate points upon which they arc now at issue;" to wit, tlio right of temporary jurisdiction and possession of tlio disputed territory. The important question nnw presented, is wheth er die State of Maino will nssent to tho agret ment or not. Deeming it a question beyond my legiti mate province to dreide, I communicate tho pajM-rs relating toil, and ask for instructions; with a de termination, in fur ns 1 may be aide, to carry into effect, your decision, whatever it may be. As I do not wish, turnover, to show any portint, of tho responsibility fairly duvolving upon me, 1 will proroed, as brieliy as 1 can, to givo my opin ion in die ense presented, and tho reasons upon which it is fotmurd. Shall we then iu accordance with thn agreement, withdraw your forces from thn disputed territory, and leave all futuru operations against tresspassers to bo conducted by concert and agreement w ith tho Provincial Government l In determining this question, your attention will naturally be directed to tlio original design and oii- ject of tlio movement on your purl—the extent to wtdeh that object has btxm accomplished—your constitutional power and right to adopt tlio course hitherto pursued—ami tlio expediency of contiuu- ingjto exercise thxt rigid. * Tlio object in the first place, wax to protect pub lic property. The territory bonlrring on the Arons* ik river, iu many respect* tha fairest portion of Maine, particularly in the noble forests of timber, and in die extraordinary fertility of soil, has long been the scene of very extensivu and wiuiton do- S rvdutions, principally on lliu purt of person* rosi- ent in, if nut inhabitants of the Province of New Brunswick. The circumstances in regard to thn extraordinary depredations committed this winter, by a band of armed and des|ieruU* men—ilnTfourse you took to arrest tlivm—tun seizure and imprison ment of tlm hind agent and ills assistants—I need not detail,—as they are already fatnilinr to you.— This iiroret-ding ou our part was denounced by die Lt. Governor of New Brunswick as nn invasion of Utat Province and a militury occupation of die ter ritory threatened, as ulso a forcible expulsion of our agents if they sluiuld not imuu-dintuiy retire. In stead, however, of permitting them to retire, you •cut what was doomed a sufficient military forcu to sustain thorn, ami also to repel any invasion of our soil that should Imi attempted.

Thlscnn undoubu-dly ho ncroinpli.hril by them, without tho tittniMt vigilance mid activity on our part, It is true, also, that the Lt. Governor of New Brunswick pnqHises to swing a Immiiii n- cross tho mouth of thn Aroo.took, toseizn the lim ber there, foil it, ami idaco the j»rocomL in thn "dis puted territory fluid. But without intending dis- roil»oct to thn Governmont of tlio Province, may it uol well bo doubted whether Muiua would over re alise nny thing from such a procedure I Would not thn debts in tills disputed territory account nlwnys exceed tho credits I Would not the tracks about this "fund," so far as wo are concerned,liko thosenhoul the lion's care, bo all otto way T Bu that a, it may, Maino is callable of superiutuuding her own affairs, xml ought not to impose that duty ou u iiuiglilHu-iug Province. Before answering tho main question, however, lotus inquire still further os to tlm legality uml pro priety ol our proceedings thus fur. My respect for you, will not permit mo to go into an elaborate argument to show our r.tnnr amt on- questionable right and title tu tho territory embra ced within tlui line, running from the source of the St. Croix due north to tlio lligh-luuds dividing tlio waters that flow into thu Atlantie Ocean from those which full into thu rlvor St. Lawrence—thence a- lung tho said lligh-lands to the nortliwestornnmst head of Connecticut river. At the Inst session of Congress the Semite of tho United States udepted unanimously tho following resolution, viz: " Resolved, That after u careful examination and deliberate consideration of thu whole controversy be tween tho United Stales and Great Britain, tvlntivo to the N. Eastern Boundary of the former, the Se nate docs not entertniu a doubt of tho entire practi cability of running and marking tliut Imumlnry, in strict conformity with tit* stipulations of tlm defi nite treaty of |tcarn of 1703; and it entertains a perfect conviction of tho jnilice and valiJUy of tha title of the United States to tho full ejctent of all the UrrUorif in dispute between tlm two powers." Tho same resolve was ou a subsequent day, in- ken un in tho House of Representatives, and ’unan imously adopted by that body. I need sav no more on tho subject of title, especially to you, with whom the whole subject is perfectly familiar. Then a* to tlio right of jurisdiction nnd posses, aion, white this preposterous claim of Great Bri tain remain* unsettled—is it in the British Govern ment by virtue of nn agreement as has been alleged bytheLt Governor of Now Brunswick, and reiter ated by Mr Fox at Washington, nr is it not? Tlm President in his message te Congress on the 2(ith Feb. after alluding to the allegations of Mr. Fox, says: The important bearing which such nn agree ment, (fit existed, would have upon tlm eonditi.m and interests of the patties, and the influence it might have upon the adjustment of the dispute, are too obvioos to allow the error upon which this as sumption seems tn rest, to pass for a moment with out correction. In alluding to the cnrrosnondence between thp Governments upon this subject, lm says further—" Instead of ausinining this assump tion of tlio British functionaries, that correspondence disproves the existence of eny such agreement." Mr. Forsyth. Secretary of Stale, toa letter of Mr. Fox, in which this alleged agreement was again pul forth, under date of the 24>h ult. aays, so far from any relinquishment of tlte right of jurisdiction hav ing been made, or any agreement either exnresss-tl or implied, entered into on the part of tho Govern ment of the United States, of the nnturv alleged by the Lieut. Guvemor of New Diunswick, end uflinn- od also in your note of the 23d in»t. it will appear from the whole course of the correspondence be tween the two Governments extending through a se ries of yeais, that, that of thn United Slates hns throughout and on frequent occasions, solemnly pro-’ tested as well against the existence of the right to tha exclusive possession and jurisdiction as to the exercise thereof, and has upon every proper oc- eashm asserted that both belonged iu Maine and thn United States. This would seem to be enough to settle this qnes- tloa now and forever. No such agreement has ever beeiMnnde On the contrary, the right of pot- seaibonodjutUdWtlnn ha. always been nnd is now, aaserted by the General Government to he in Maine. Bui If it bad lawn otherwise, amt tin* Government of the United States had agreed that the British Government alum Id have exclusive Jurisdiction and poMfMioA nFthU territotv, which is acknowledged t« b« mm, would it havo been binding upon Maine I Clearly not. Tba raipeciive States of the Union are sorarelgn and independent, except so far as that sovereignty Iu* bran restrained or modified by the Constitution of tho United State*. The Gen eral Government Is ene of limited and defined pow- ere. Tba poorer to alienatethe Territory rtf a Slate, or to trarafer e portion ut it, or tlm Jurisdiction and possession of it tn a foreign power, fur nn Indefinite pertud, or fur ene hour,is uo where granted. An assumption of such a power on the part of the Gene ral Government, it Is believed, would always meet lire stern and uncompromising opposition or this Stale. But without intending probably Innaserl any rueli pr.wer.il fa rms lb in has been an understanding iNMarenihe General Government ond that of Great Britain, amounting perhaps, «n our side, uj a r commendation to the State t»f M*iw,r»tl«r than n contract by which she Wf#uld lot conclusively bnun Wlint nro the terms of |hut**undrr*ltrading wldrli has liem tlio prolific source of o*» much ini»under- standing I Clearly llirae an*l no tnuro : that dur ing llie pendency of tins question, the two parties slinul'l eat reise jurisdiction as they had respectful ly been accustomed to exercise it. Now ovor the teiriiury suutli of the St. John, especially thn part of it watered by tlw Aroostook and ir« tritrulary streams, Mussncbusettsand Maine liuveulaajs laid pessesiiun and exercised jurinliclhm. A* early as 1793, a large tract, say 2,090,001) of acres, acre surveyed and located by ngenis nf Mnssarlio-elis under u bargain and contemplated grant to Jackson A Flint. I Ins tract embraced u large part of llw Ariaistouk lerriuiry, ond extended to the river at. Jnliri. For inme mason or oilier, believed to bn the inability of the purchasers to pay the conrtiler- at ion. no grunt was ever actually made. Iu I0«0 and 1C07, grams of large tracts lying upon both ■ides nf tba Arnosliajk weremudenf .Mnssacba-ells to tin) town nl Plymouth and General Lalnri, which havo ever since Iweu held by them and their grant- nes. Soon after the separation of Mama anil .Mas- aneliiisatis, these lands, extending nearly J" the St. John, on tlio south, were surveyed, arid some nl them divided und held in severally 1-y tho two Slates. For several yenrs, commencing nt rnrly as 1821. ncetnx were sent In llm Aroust-Hik by the Gov. of .Maine, fur lire purpose of arresting trespassers up on llm public Inrids. In 1821, Rrnj. J. Purler, Esq. w u* Hint in that terriiorv by Guv. King. fi*r that purpose. Mr. I'nrier look iheeitynf St. John nnd r le.ierirton in Ids way, and consulted with Mr. Attorney General Weimom U[Hirilho subject nfpun- Ishirig British sulijirntsfor that intrusion unnn our territory. The Attorney Gunerul said, ••the Gov- eiiirneiitof New Brunswick would unqoeslioniddv render t very possible facility to punish the offend ers, ns they hnd suffered grautly in tliut Province, (N. B.) by such lawless pillages." This is thn languagn of Ml. Porter, taken from Ids report mndtf July, 1821, and rmw ttu file in the office uf tlte Sec- rrtnty of State. Mr. Porter proceeded tn the scene of depredation upon tlm Aroosionk, broke up the irespussing, nnd compelled tlnrse engaged in it to .ellle with him, giving their note* for then- mount of d imago duo. These notes wrere left w illi un Attorney nt Woodstock, nod were collected by suits prosecuted in ills* Provincial County. Similar agonuios with similar results, I understand, havo frequently boon instituted l»y this Government. Mnssariiusetts lias long been in tlio haliit of gran ting permits to cut timber upon her townships on this stream; and though with tlio knowledge of tho Provincial Government, without any attempt on tho part of the latter to forbid or provunt It, so fur as I am informed. Maino has for several years liecn expending largo sums of money iu making a road through tho territory, nnd has sold nnd conveyed por tions of tills sumo territory to actual settlers, with out anticipating or receiving any opposition on tho part of tlio 1'rovincinl Government. I um also credibly informed, that claims iu favor of tho inhnhi- toots of tlm Province, against settlers upon tlm Aroostook, nrc prosecuted by the creditors in tho Courts of Maine. Tlmso (acts, with othors licit might In* mimed, go to show that tlm jurisdiction nnd possession of this territory is not and never lias Into in New Brunswick, but, so fur ns tlm unsettl'd condition of u portion of the euiintry woidd permit, in Maine and Alussarjiusotts. Upon this point I urn happy also to be aldo to add u vety apposite quo tation from a letter from Mr. Viui Duran, while Se cretary of Suite in 1U29, to Sir (.’linrles Vnugimn.— lie aiiys—"tho undersigned cannot acquiesce in tlio supposition that because the Agent .of his Britannic Majesty thought proper, in tho proceedings before tlm Commissioners to lay claim to all that portion of the Statu or Muiim which lies north of tlio line running westerly from Mars Hill, nnd designated as ilin limit nr houndary nf thn British claim, thereby tlm United States or tlm State of Miinn, censed to linve jurisdiction in tho territory thus claimed. In tlm view of this Government,' his Britannic Majes ty's Agent might, with cqunl,justice, havo extended Ids claim to any other disputed part of tlm Stutu as to claim tlm portion of it which lm lias drawn in question; and in ouch rase, tlm Lieutenant Governor of .New Brunswick could surely not have considered a rontinuniico outlie part of the United States, nnd of the Slate of Maine, to exercise tlmir accustomed jurisdiction und uutlmrity, to lie tin encroachment. If so, in nliut light lire we to rcguid llm continued acts of jurisdiction now exercised by him in the Mudawnska settlement? More than twenty-yenrs ago (urge tracts of Itmd lying westward of Mars llill, and northward ou thu river Hestook, were grunted by .llm State ofMussnrluisctts, which tracts are held and possessed under tlmso grants to* this day; nml llm United Suites and llm States of Massachusetts and Maine, in succession, have never ceased to ex orcise dim jurisdiction which the unsettled condition of tlm country in tliut region, nud oilier circumstan ces admitted and required.” Surely there cuiihu lm need of multiplying words upon lids point. If tlm British Government hove any jurisdiction ovor lids portion nf our territory, it may "with equal jusdee'' claim to have it over the county ol Kennebec. Uol why should we lm com pelled to resort to facts of this description In pros, our jurisdictionT If tho title he in Maine, iln jurisdiction follows of ruurim. No power can linvi a right of jurisdiction over a tel ritory Imlongoig in llieSiHle of Muine, und imlliing hot tliut extreme spirit of pence nnd forbearance fv winch Maine lint been so long urinated, c mid induce her to argue such a point fur a moment. Is limn, the title, possession, nnd jurisdiction nf Maino be nearly established, why is she not justi fied iu hoi present attempts to protect tim property ou lids territory from plundri. and tlm soil itself against Invasion f It is iiaid to believe that nny man can la* found—any American I should on)—of unenrtupted patriotism, nr.d \*lio»e mind is not poi- »nned by prejudice, who will deny it Oil this point thn I’rnsidettt says—"Tho Stnto of Muine laid a right tu arnvst l lie depredations com plained of—it belongs to Imr to judge of tlm exi gency of the occasion calling ior her interfer ence." The able report of the Committee nf Foreign re lations, in the House of Uepre-emntives nt \Vn«h ingtoti, says*—" Every Government in the Union Inn a right to regulate tlm landed interest; whether pub lic or private, within ita limits, nnd Maino stand* upon tlm same fouling, unless as to such parts of it as me dachlcd not to bo under its jurisdiction by tlm exercise of the constitutional powers of the Fed eral Government. But ns has already been observ ed, no proceeding or agreement of the Federal Go vernment rnn lm found, which did not recognise an actual jurisdiction,just such ns that nnw claimed and enforced by Maine.” Again it says—"The pro- rlsmntion of the Lieut. Governor of New Bruns wick wns issued before any steps were taken by Maine to sii.iuin tho civil by llm military power, aed was directed against tun interference of the ministerial officers of tha law, acting in strict con- fmmity witllVlint are Mievi-dtola* fundamental principle* of Dritiriini well ns American law. Tlm first appeal to military force was made by hint, and llm subsequent proceed ytg* of Muirw w etc defensive merely." Bat 1 need not quote particular expressions. Tlm wkola Report i* x lucid nnd forcible exposition of the injustice of tho proceedings of tho Govern ment of New Brunswick,and a triumphant vindica tion of tlie course pursued by Maine, Tlm almost unanimous vote of the House of Representatives up on tlm bill reported by the some committee, intend ing to carry out llm views expresesd in tlm report— the unanimous vote of tlio Senate upon tlm same hill, also furnish to Maine tha most conclusive and grati- Tying proof «ifthe rectitude of her morse. In ac cordance with all this, I take pleasure in saying,lias heen tho general voice of tlio American Press, Such unanimity of opinion and feeling among tlio mass uf the people—such a spirit of enthusiasm, pervading all classes of society, il isappichrndcdha* seldom been witnossed.—Nothing could bo more gratifying to Maine, and sure I am, that it will constitute a perpetual source ofgrateful recollection to her virtu ous ansi intelligent sons. Under these circumstances, thn question recurs, shall we withdraw our forces atteealdy to the re commendation contained in the M« tnorandu signed by Mr. Fox and the Secretary of State—ahd leavo tho future protection of tho timber to tlm concurrent action ami agreement of the Government* of Maine and Now Urunswick f Under n full sense of the responsibility sestiof upon me. V have no hesitation in saying, that we ouglil not, 1 admit that the General Govern use nl has nobly responded to uur from tlm territory M'-d of invasion/ which tsno' tit our military force m repel, still r» maino pending over os, while litlti-h troops, il L ooderstoed, are daily runamirotio^ near rim line with tho apparent purpose(Trnrryinz 'lie avowed design tiflhe Lieut. Governor of New limnswirk into effect. But, looking n IrttUs more minutely nl the terms r-f ihi* iicieemeot, tlm objection* to it are obvious. In the first pi ire: it woo d mnku our movement upon the question of the Boundary a leirngaile movement. I It.trad of having made any advance toward the neqni-itian of our iiithi«, ami teiminii- lion of the question in dispute, out position would not really be »o favorable as it was G-f-re curre.iiu of tlio*** events which linve indorel tins ••memorandum." Then, we (mil exclusive juris diction over this portion of ill** tcrrlloiy. Under thn agreement we should tody have a concurrent juris liclion with the Province of New Broo-wi'k— for W‘* could not expel a single iresfm*ser w ithout in the first place agreeing with tlio Provincial Govern ment, as to the in inner of doing It. It* biogoigo is tbus s •• And if future necessity should arise for ili-|*T*inr ootoriou- trespasser*, or protecting pub lic property from depredation by armi-d force, I lie operation shall lie conducted by concert, jointly or sopiratdy, aceoiding to agreement* between tlio Government*of Maine and New Diunswick." Again, this ngrecuicnt t« inadm ssilde, because, of the irregularity of its term*. By t, Maine is absolutely to will.draw bur force*. But, are tbe Torres of tim BritUh Government also to bn with drawn? Not at all. Tliut Government is simply •fmin from ntlemptiog to do. what i( nnver bud the right or power of lining, that of expelling os from the territmy. It is understood tint a regi ment of British troops, lately arrived front Quebec, is now ut Mndawituku—ami llioio they may te- main for nu-hi loth- contrary in the terms of the agreement—urccl f-irtificnliun* to their lienrl*' con-’ tent-nnd exercise any power they pletisa short of ultempting toiixpe) os from tlm territory. Auollior objection to tlii* agreement arise*, from its eqnivocul, phraseology upon one point which mi .-lit piova lolro herenf.cr lliu source of much mimoderstunding and difficulty. One of them is in regard tn, whether the armed pnssn under tlm Land Agent nod Shrriff, is included in the "nrmrd force" required by llm *• memorandum" tain- with drawn from the territory. If tlui ngn-cmue* should bo construed against it*, in this respect, wo could not harHnftiir expel a single trespasser unless me Governor of New Brunswick climild kindly agree with us upon siltin' mido in which it might be ef- fueled. To ourli an ngn rment I trust .Maine will never assent. Sim has been sufficiently trammelb-rl heretofore in llm exorcise of Imr right*, and wid not now voluntarily forgo new shackles lor herself. Wlint then shall bo done? The people of the Stnto surely an* nut desirous of Innryiog the two until.ns into n war. Such an event i* u.uinu-ly to he uvoided, ifit can ho without di honor.

Hiier & Waterman, cuu- signcss of the schooner Convoy, from Nassau, we nre indebted for files oftho Royal Gazette to tho 2d of March. A few days previous to' the sailing of tlio Convoy, Uic Governor had issued his proclania- motion dissolving the Gotland Assembly. Tho rep resentatives were thus sent hack to their constitu ents, and new writs of election issued. The motive for this arbitrary proceeding ofhis Excellency was not known. Tlio sudden dissolution hod created quite a sensation at Nassau, and over the whole is land. It was expected that grout excitement would ensue at the coming election. Them was no other local news of interest. An arrival had brought dates of tlio 3d February from Jamaica. They confirm tlie distressing accounts received here of tlie de crease of production, aud tho insubordinate and idle ness prevailing among the laboring classes.
