OCT AVI AN. -v&XZz- From the London Literary Gazette.] niK HIVAL WREATHS. Two playful Doves, at break of day, Went forth insearch of flowers; To deck their brows with garlands gr.y They sought the dewy bowers. A rose clad bank appeared in sight; And soon one blue-eyed vagrant Intwined his sunny rigid# bright, With flowrets fair and fragant- His brother Cupid onward strayed, Unmoved by his alluring’, To where an amaranth displayed Its blossoms long enduring. The rose-crowned ( upid laughed aloud To see his.humble brother : “Let day-light cen, o ere thou'art proud And scoff,” replied the other. TJjey met again at close of day— The roseate wreath had faded ; Toot Cupid wept in dire dismay, Ilis brow by thorns now shaded. •*‘l bade tliea wait,” his pi lymate crie % “Till shades of night descended And showed each purple flower with pride, Among his fair hair blended.

From ui* V\ ashmgton ( ity t.ljLe, BKTUKUANUES ON THE NORTH EASTERN FRON TIER. Accounts of the occurrences that have late ly taken place cn the disputed territory on cur .North East* rn Boundary, have lately been published, which, with the editorial anil other comments that have her n made, tend to irritate and mislead the public mind. The truth of the cas. is, that when the sub-' mission was made to the umpirage of the ! King of the Netherlands, there was a distinct■ .understanding tiiut until the question should j be finally decided, each of the parties should ' remain in tue exercise of the same jurisdic-! lion over such parts of the territory as was i tlien held by them respectively—or in diplo-1 matte language that tue status quo should be 1 ♦strictly preserved. The settlement of Madawaska, although within what the United States, upon the best grounds, asserted to be the boundary of the treaty ot 1783; was, at tlie time of the sub mission, and has ever singe been, in the oc cupation of the British, under the jurisdic tion of the ’Government of New Brunswick. 'Filings remained in this situation until within a few weeks past, when, by virtue of a law for organizing the several settlements ol the State of Maine and establishing the mu nicipal authority m the several towns, a num ber of A mcricans, settled at Madawaska, met to elect town officers cf the British Govern ment juo'.estcd against this proceeding—but the election proceeded notwithstanding. This was certainly a breach cf the u-re- cmerit between the two governments, in which it is believed the State of Maine acquiesced and! if such act had been authorized might justly I have been considi red as a notice tout the U- 1 mted States would not accept the award made by the King of the Netherlands, and were no longer bound by the agreement above refer red o, w hich was understood to be obligato ry until the award should be executed, or de clared not to be binding. But no such judgment has yet bet n passed upon the award: that question must be submitted to flic dis cretion of other branches ol' the government* Until they decide, it is presumed that the President will think it his duty to observe , with good faith the understanding between the two nations. It is, therefore, equally to bo lamented, that on the part of the American citizens, the j t lection for officers, was inconsiderately held ’ m the settlement then actually governed bv the civil and military autliorities of Great*! Britain—and on the part of the British, that 1 violent measures have bee'll thought necis- 1 sary to punish or counteract these procet and ings—and that too, when mutual forbearance, ! for a few weeks longer, would have [ c <[ to il< hi ite, and it is hoped, a friendly settlement j of the question. It is confidently expected that the repre-i sc M V ions made by our Government will pro-I rtiro the n Ip/mjc ot the arrested, and 1 that, on the part of the patriotic State of Maine, the influence and authority of those w ho direct its affairs, and the moderation and ! good sense of its citizens, will prevent any | act that may embarrass the councils or endan- I gev tiie peace of the United States. “ Wisdom, Justice, Moderation."
