the matter will present itself to the minds of her Ma jesty’s ministers in a I'njht different from that which it is understood by Mr. Fox. would have refrained from any further remarks on the subject, but in order to ob viate the risk of any misapprehension as to the views of the President concerning' it, and inasnmeh as the ground assumed by Mr. Fox with respect to the im port of the existing arrangement* would, it*admitted by the United States, give to those arrangement', a scope not authorised by the language in which they are expressed, nor by w hat is believed to be the inten tion of the parties, it is proper that the undersigned should call Mr. Fox’s immediate attention to the ex press provisions of the agreement signed by him and the undersigned, and of that which w as subscribed to, under the agenev of General Scott, by the Governor of Maine and the Lieutcnai t Governor of New Brunswick. The main object of those agreements obviously w as the restoration and future maiutainance of tranquil lity in the disputed territory ; and as the means of most surely attaining that ol ject, the entire exclusion from its limits of all milii try force, to whichever side belonging, ami the delegation to tltc civil authority exclusively, of the exercise of all power and jurisdic tion. With that vi< w’, under the first mentioned of those agreements, it was only in case of necessity for dispersing notorious trespassers, or protecting public propertv from depredation, that armed force was to be employed oo either side, ami then the operation was to be conducted by concert, jointly or s< parat< lv, according to agreement between the Governments of Maine and New Brunswick. The other was the re sult of the contemplated “ concert” In tween th»* Go vernments of Maine and New Brun-wick ; was in tended to carry out the object ol lite first, confiding to the State of .Maine the duty of protecting the tim ber recently cut, and ol preventing further depreda tions, and prescribed that these objects wt re to be accomplished through the agency of a civil posse. Accordingly, the Governor ol Maine engaged to withdraw, without unnecessary delay, the military force of the Slate. Without regard, therefore, to the limits within which cither party had before exercised jurisdiction, resort to military force, for any purpose whatever, was interdi. ted to both parties. With re ference to the extent of territory within which each party was to continue to exercise jurisdiction, the first agreement left the question of riuht where it had be fore stood, and only expressed the conflicting under standing of that question by the Governments of the United States and Great Brit du, respectively. The agreement between Governor Fairfield and Sir .John Harvey provided likewise, that the question of posses sion and jurisdiction should rem .in as it then stood ; but stated where it stood,by providing that Great Bri- i tain was to continue holding, in fact, possession of a part of ttie territory, meaning that part embraced in ; the Madawaska settlements, in the occupancy of which, as well as in the enjoyment of the usual com munications between New Brunswick and her Ma jesty’s upper provinces, the Governor of Maine dis claimed all intentions of disturbing the British autho rities. Beyond the Madawaska settlements, there-, fore, circumscribed by the limits within which they ; stood at the datj of the agreement, the United States cannot, under the terms of th.it agreement, recognize in the British authorities the tight of extending juris- ; diction, much less that of forming any military esta b ishments l.eyond or within them ; and those, conse quently, which fanned the subject of die representa tions in the note of the undersigned of the 12th of December, pushed, as they are alledged to h >ve been, into tracts of country far beyond any acknowledtred limits of those settlements, and wholly unconnected with them, cannot be viewed in anv other light than a bold infraction of existing arrangements. That such is a just view of the agreements, cannot be dis puted by Great Bi itain, as her Majesty’s Govern ment h e adopt' <1 ami acted upon it. In the note of Mr. Fox, complaining of the encroachments on the part of Maine, and ol an armed occupation of part of the disputed territory by that Stale, both are treated as inconsistent with the existing arrangements ; and it is presumed her Majesty’s Government will not at tempt to apply one rule of construction to defend the military movements ofits colonial authorities, and an other to sustain complaints against the State Govern ment, for acts which are not founded upon any ap prehended necessity of the use of a regular military force for offensive or defensive purposes. Nor can it be imagined that it will be contended that those ar rangements are not perfectly reciprocal, or that there is any difference in the character and the extent of the jurisdiction to be exercised by Great Britain in one portion, and that by the State of Maine or the United States in the other portion, of the disputed territory, comprehended within the temporary arrangements made to preserve tranquillity in both, and guard against any hostile col.ision between the State and colonial governments. The undersigned having laid Mr. Fox’s note be fore the President, is instructed to state to him, that no reason is perceived for doubting the disposition of the Governor of Maine scrupulously to adhere to the spirit of the existing arrangements, and to avoid all acts tending to render more difficult and distant the final adjustment of the main question of boundary between the two countries ; but, in repeating assur ances of the readiness of the United States Govern ment to contribute, by all means in its power, to an amicable termination of the difiereme, the under signed is bound to declare that a persistence in, or a repetition of, such acts, on the part of her Majesty’- agents, as those now complained of, would, if avowed by Great Britain, be considered as but little in accord ance with those assurances. The undersigned avails himself of this occasion to renew to Mr. Fox the expression of his di-tinguished consideration. JOHN FORSYTH. Henry S. Fox, Esq., &rc., &.c.

A clerical or a typograhical error in my last num ber, places me in so ridiculous a point of view before the public, as to justify this method of correction. The mistake makes me to say:—“ The voluntary confidence of the party [Union] would have beer: gratifying. Yet I feel chagrin at failing to attain stations which I have not sought.” Now I intended to say exactly the contrary. The whole context will show that I intended to say, and probably did say in the original, not now before me; —“Yet I feel no cha grin at failing to attain stations which I have not sought.” I| any friend has filed my last number, n a matter of curiosity, he will please interline the word, * no,’ in its proper place.

We would now call the attention of the public, to the pr< sent extraordinary position in which the Baids of D ti ien is placed by the other Banking Institutions of the jptate. They all refuse to receive her bills, be cause they say she has suspended specie payments, when it i- universally known that most of them have literally followed iter example, and that some have virtually done so. We should like to know how it is, that any Bank whit It has suspended, can refuse to receive Darien Bills, wh* n the resources of the Bank are simple, to meet ultimately, ail her üb.igations; and when, in ad dition to her own .means, the faith of the State is pledged for seven-tetith- of h. r liabilities ? If an institution as strong, and as weil fortified for the future, as the Batik of Darien is known to be, is to be discredited by other Banks, already suspended, and holding no guarantee from the Suite to redeem ' theie pledges, wbat is the world coming to ? If the i Bank capric* is to cottirol the currency, to the in jury of bill-holders; if the Batiks are to put tip and put down the value of every thing at their pleasure, th.' day is close at baud, when the people will take this mat er into their own hands; for when any sys tem beconti s destructive of the ends for which it was created, it is the duty of the people to alter or abolish it. And further, if the Banks will neither sustain the I credit of each other, or lend a reasonable amount of money to the. people, in a time of peculiar embarrass ment —if, when cotton is selling as low as four and five cents—when the courts are crowding with suits, and the p.apers are groaning with sheriffs advertise ments, and Ruin and I tistress are walking abroad in Ac land, there is nothing more certain than a speedy 1 and tremendous revulsion in the public sentiment, w hich will produce a catastrophe, only to be averted by stopping forward in the hour of need. 1 We have beietoforeexeited our limited influence to prevent the adoption of harsh measures by the Legis lature, towaids the Banks; but if they persist in their present policy—if'they .-(ami off and see the property o| the people ski diced, without >'ii effort to stay the des<>htion, they will lieiv (forth ?»!id our hand arrayed I against them. But we still Dust they will come to ti < rescue, w d hope we sb dl not bo disappointed. THE ABOLITIONISTS. If it ever has lx en doubted that flic abolitionists : re nearly to a mm, i lentified with the Whig Party, let those who have eiiteri lined such a doubt, only turn I their eyes to Congress, ami they w ill there find the most ample proof of sm h identity. Tliere are nearly eighty abolitionists in Congress, and out of that numlier, tliere are but nine or ten w ho ' profess to be Democrats ; and what is still more con- I chi is e, every abolition paper in the Union, as fur as I the fact comes within our knowledge, is opposed to I the present Administration, and to the Democratic Party ; and we would wager our life, if it was at our jow n disposal, that nineteen out of twenty of all the abolitionists in (lie Union, will support General Harrison against Mr. Van Buren. Vi ill Southern men longer continue in the ranks of a party containing such materials? Vt ill Soutliern i men consent to record their votes on almost every ipimtioii, with such men ? It is time that passion and prejudice should be laid asid , and a line of separa i tirni drawn, between those whose vital interests are at , stake, ami their most deadly enemies. i What a singular spectacle does the present state of politics present ? The Southern Whigs are exerting themselves to break down Mr. Van Buren, because they hate him; and the abolitionists are moving hea ven and earth to defeat him, because he is opposed to their infernal schemes—and if cross-firing should be successful, who will be the next President ? Answer —William Henry Harrison, the abolitionist. Will the Southern people open their eyes to litis question, and take the matter into their own bands ? They will—and the time is close at hand, when they will permit no man to represent them who is ranked politically or otherwise, with their worst enemies. They will tell them in language not to be misunder stood, and w arn them to “ come out from among the wicked.” i The very idea of Harrison’s success, strikes as with horror, and cannot be contemplated in this section of the Union, with any other emotions than those of dis may. But we confide in the people of the South, and expect to find them at their posts. ~C OMM E R CIA L IN T EILIGENCE. •Hilleg;evillc Market» FEBItLAKY 4th, 1840. COTTON—From 4 to 7 ce»ts.

The difficulty of geting cotton to an Atlantic port, has depressed its value in all of our inland commer cial towns ; and the tightness of monetary affairs in our principal cities, and the difficulties in negotiating bills of exchange, are likewise causes which have op erated to depress the value of cotton.

The low state o! our river, and the small inducement held out to purchasers by prices ruling in Atlantic cities, is the main cause of the pressure in our market. The stock at the present time remaining in Augusta and FLnn i burg, i» not much -lion of 45,000 bales, about half of I which i* in second hands. Planters seem more dispo sed than ever to sell, and if the article could lie got oil, after purchasing, a lively t tisiness would be done in this market for some week* to come. The sales from ware houses this week reach 1763 bales. The principal enquiry at the present time is confined to the tiu< r qualities. We quote as the extremes 5a 8| cts. —strictly prime in square bales may bring the half— but this description of cotton is scarce. SAV ANNAII, Jan. 27.— Cotton.— There was a good demand for Upland the past week, but a depres sion in prices, owing we understand to the advance of freights. Ihe sales of the week amount to about 5500 bales, at prices ranging from 6f to 10c—prin cipally 84 to 9|. There has been a better business doing in Sea Island the past week, than in any pre vious one this season. The sales are over 300 bales. We quote 1 8 to 30 cents. RICE—' he demand for this article has been good, and a fair business has been dime. The sales will reach near 1100 casks at prices ranging from $27-16 to $2$ —principally s2g.

PRESENTMENTS OF THE GRAND JURY OF PULASKI COUNTY, JANUARY TERM, 1840. the iinilei'signeil sworn, and empanelled as Grand ** Jurois of Pulaski County, for the new closing term of our Superior Court, beg leave to make the following pre lentments : We profess to entertain at all times a solicitude for the welfare, and a pride in the character of the county of our re sidence : hut we feel a peculiar, elevated, and infinite pride, that on this occasion we have it in our power with truth to state, that nothing during the present Term, of a criminal character has come to our knowledge, which is worthy of notice We have examined the books of our Clerk and Treasurer, and in reference to them, are happy to state, that the style iu which they have been kept, reflect great honor and credit up on the officer, (John V. Mitchell.) who fills those important stations. To our Tax Collector, Wm.M, Kennedy, wc allow, as the amount of his insolvent list, the sum of eighty six dolltus aud twenty-five cents. \\ e earnestly call to the attention of the Justices of the lu ferior Court, the necessity of having a safe and sufficient jail speedily built; the manifest inconvenience for the want of such j.til being so apparent, we trust that they will take the matte,' into early consideration. We exceedingly regret the manifest inconvenience aud great hardship which the deranged and depreciated state of our currency operates upon all classes of om citizens; and earnestly recommend to our Senatr r and Representatives, at the next Session of our Legislature, to urge the adoption'of such measures as may conduce to a restoration of our cur rency to a healthy and sound state. We would further suggest to our fellow-citizens, engaged in agriculture, the propriety of turning their attention in a greater degree to the raising of grain aud stock ; the history • of a few past years has settled the question, that a crop of fifteen hundred thousad bates of cotton will yield to the pro ducers an income quite as great as a crop of two millions of bales. In closing these remarks, we cannot omit to express our thanks t» his Honoi Carleton B. Cole for his kindness and indulgence toward us; and also for the faithful and impartial discharge of his laborious official duties. We also tender to Colonel VV. W. Wigg’ns our thanks for the faithful discharge of his arduous duties as Solicitor Gen eral. \\ e also request that those, our presentments, be published in the Standard of Union, and Maeon Messenger.
