Sale of the Morns Multicaulis.
Another extraordinary sale of this wonderful
tree took place at Franklin’s auction room in New
York on the 18th inst. Competition, says the
Commercial Advertiser, seemed to be awakened
by the great diminution in the stock now remain
ing for sale, and by the near approach of the plant
ing season, and the prices throughout were a full
advance of 25 per cent, over all the previous sales-
The large specimen trees sold at $9 each, and
some bundles of less size commanded $3 50 to $4
per tree, and the smaller ones at $ I 20 down to
about 40 to CO cents for the smallest Roots sold
at 15 to 16 cents each, in parcels of two to four
thousand ; and the entire stock, consisting of abou t
fifteen thousand trees, good, had, and indifferent,
and many of them very much injured during the
voyage of importation, found willing and enthu
siastic purchasers.

Latest from Maine.
The committee of the Maine Legislature to
whom Gov. Fairfield’s message was referred, on
the 15th reported in the House of Representatives
the following resolution. They made no other
report. The House assigned Monday for the
consideration of the report.
Resolved, That whenever the Governor of this
state shall be fully satisfied, either by the declara
tion of the Lt. Governor of the province of New
Brunswick,or otherwise, that he has abandoned
all idea of occupying the disputed territory with
a military force or of attempting an expulsion of
the civil force sent there under our land agent—
that then the Governor of this state be authorized
to withdraw our military force, leaving the land
agent, with a sufficientjutuse, armed or unarmed
as the case may require, to drive outer arrest the
trespassers, and to preserve and protect the timber
from their depredations.
From the Boston Atlas, of the 19 th.
We aieenabled to announce the fact that the
Governor of Maine—all the members of Congress
from that state, with the exception of that patri
* otic Loco-Foco, Mr. Virgil Delphini Parris— and
a large majority of the members of the Maine
Legislature — have signed an application to the
President, in favor of the appointment of Daniel
Webster as the special minister to Great Britain.

* Augusta, Sunday, 7
March 17, 1839. 5
The excitement that for u time has pervaded
our whole community, on the subject of our bor
der difficulties, is fust subsiding. The general
impression is that our Madawaska war is nearly
ended.
It is true the state has yet a force of three or
four thousand men in the field, but there is now
every probability that in a few days they will be
dismissed, and permitted to return to their quiet
homes, to give an account of the battles they have
fought, and the victories won. It is now settled.
I believe, that no farther attempts arc to bo made
to stop the trespassers on the disputed territory,
excepting on the waters of the Aroostook. In
the operations there, Sir John Harvey and the
provincial government of New Brunswick will
undoubtedly acquiesce. There is therefore no
occasion for any more force than will be sufficient
to protect the timber now cut on that river and
tributary streams, from being carried off by the
trespassers. Such a force will probably be retained
there, and no_more.
Bangor, March 16, 1839.
That there is no news from the border, must
be welcome news. Since it proves that peace lias
not been the step which cannot be
retraced has not been taken—that no blood cries
from the ground—that the Rubicon has not
been passed—welcome, of course, it must be to
the citizens of Boston, who can only ask for war
when honor forbids peace—and I doubt not wel
come to you, also, as a lover of peace and a friend
to the best interests of your city and your coun
try. This is my excuse for writing when 1 have
nothing to communicate.
A detachment of about 200 men, drafted to
supply the deficiency m General Hodsdon’s first
draft, left here this morning on their way to join
the main body—and I am strongly inclined to
think that no more will march at all. No attack
is to be apprehended from Sir John, and it only
remains for him to make a retrograde movement,
or otherwise show that he intends not to disturb
Maine, and the forces of the latter will be disban
ded, and the chance of a speedy war at an end.
Will there be war at all? Circumstances indi
cate a negative answer. Sir John Caldwell and
other Englishmen, while here and at Augusta,
hesitated not in private conversation to acknowl
edge, that by the treaty of ’B3, the land in dis
pute is ours—but they say they must have a pas
sage through it to Canada, or they might as well
lose their provinces at once.
They express it as the wish of the provincial
authorities and the people now, to give us the free
navigation ofthe St. Johns, for enough of the dis
puted territory, a few thousand acres in the north
east corner, a part that is comparatively of very
little value it is said, to allow them uninterrupted
communication between Canada and New Bruns
wick—and their object in visiting Maine, I have
some reason to believe, is to ascertain whether a
proposition to that effect will be entertained. They
nearly avow this. With those views and feelings
prevailing among the well-informed men in the
provinces most interested in the issue, is there a
probability that Great Britain will wish for a war
upon the question of jurisdiction I—l take it for
granted that some arrangement between the coun
tries can he made, by which, without a sacrifice of
the honor or integrity of Maine; any reasonable
wishes of England may be gratified.

The Montreal papers received yesterday, state
that sentence of death had been announced from
authority, on five more of the persons taken at
Beauharnois, one of whom is a nephew of Mr.
Papineau. Three more living at St. Cesaire, had
been found guilty, and sentence of death passed on
them. We cannot but think that it would he more
politic in the Provincial Government to pursue
the plan recommended by Lord Brougham in his
speech in the House of Lords, of transporting the
criminals to a convict colony, rather than execu
ting them on so swholesale a scale.
The types and press of L’Aurore, a French pa
per, published at Montreal, had been seized, and

f Martinique.
* c have been favored with the perusal of a
private letter from the island of Martinique, from
which we are permitted to make the following
extract. It presents a dreadful picture :
“St. Pierre, February Bth, 1839.
“On my return to the city, I perceived that a
paper had been forwarded to you containing the
various details on the subject of the earthquake.
The statements made therein fall short of the
truth. Every day reveals new evidences of de
struction. Since the late frightful calamity, we
have experienced aa infinite number of shocks
one, particularly ten days after, which was ex
tremely violent, and which effected perhaps more
damage than the first. We do not know what
will become of us. Poor Martinique is entirely
ruined. Misery and desolation are at their
heighth. Our courage is completely subdued.
The very houses that threaten momently to full,
are suffered to remain. The indifference of des
pair has seized upon all. People continue to re
side in houses that arc on the point of falling,
without having resolution and energy enough to
'yleave them. Every one appears plunged in a
gloomy stupor. The city of Fort Koyal is anni
hilated, and the street where I reside, a muss of
| ruins.” /

Jfreuty between France and Mexico—
-1 Opening the Port of Vera Cruz.
By the arrival of the sehboner Water Witch,
despatched here by Admiral Baudin, we have re
ceived positive information that a conference was
held on the Blh instant at Vera Cruz between the
Mexican plenipotentiaries Gorostiza and Victoria
on one side and Admiral Baudin on the other
side, which resulted in the adoption of a treaty of
peace. The articles of said treaty were formed
on the 9th and signed on the 10th instant.
The Mexicans at Vera Cruz were much pleas
ed with the treaty, and public rejoicings in con
sequence thereof took place on the evenings of
9th and 10th.
Mr. Pakenhara, the English minister, guaran
tees, ii the name of his government, the payment
of the indemnity due to the exiled French, the
conditions of which are to be hereafter fixed.
We are assured that the whole Mexican popu
lation approved of the treaty that was made in
November, which formed the basis of the one
now adopted.
France receives nothing to indemnify the ex
penses of the war, and claimed merely the $OOO,-
000 mentioned in her ultimatum to be paid in six
months.
The English minister signed the treaty as one
of the parties, and it wasexpcctcd that the English
fleet before Vera Cruz would immediately sail for
Europe, its object being accomplished.
The Mexican journals are of opinion that their
government will not ratify the treaty.
Mr. David, consul of France at New Orleans,
with a laudable zeal for the interests of commerce,
has communicated the following extract of a des
patch from Admiral Baudin:
“In the evening of the 9th March Admiral
Baudin signed at Vera Cruz, together with the
Mexican ministers plenipotentiary Manuel Goros
tiza and General Guadalope Victoria, a conven
tion and treaty of peace.
“ Mr. Gorostiza set off on the morning of the
Mexico to obtain the ratification of con
gress.
“ The plenipotentiaries asked an armistice of 15
days, which was granted by the admiral, and he
immediately opened the port of Vera Cruz to all
flags without distinction.
“ French vessels and those of other nations,
which were lying at Vera Cruz immediately com
menced discharging their cargoes.”
ARMISTICE.
The rear admiral commanding the naval forces
of France in the Gulf of Mexico, and the general
of division commanding the army of Mexico, con
sidering on the one hand that a treaty of peace has
this day been signed by the plenipotentiaries, and
if this treaty (us we believe) shall be ratified, a
. good understanding will be re-established between
, the two nations; and on the other hand that it is
the duty of belligerent parties to abridge as prompt
ly as possible the suflering of neutral commerce,
have agreed to form an armistice in the towns fol
lowing, to wit:
Art. 1. Hostilities shall be suspended for the
space of fifteen days, commencing on Monday the
11th instant, and the port of Vera Cruz shall be
opened to all flags without distinction.
Art- 2. All merchandize not prohibitep, of what
i ever origin it may be, on paying the usual duties,
shall be admitted, conformably to the tariff now
i in force, and during the above space of time, and
, the said duties being paid, their transportation in
to the interior shall not be prohibited.
Art. 3. The general commanding the advance
guard of the army, binds himself to give the nc
i ccssary orders that French consignees and owners
of merchandize, imported into Vera Cruz by vir
tue of the preceding articles, as well as the persons
appointed to conduct their business, may remove
into and reside in said city during the space of
time above mentioned.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
“Hitting the Nail on the Head.”—A
correspondent, who has learning and experience
upon public matters, has effectually disposed of
the question touching the eligibility of members
of Congress to a foreign embassy, in the following
article :
Can a Member of Congress he appointed a
Minister, d\ C. to a Foreign Court ?
This seems recently to be debated as though it
was a new question. There is obviously error in
1 this. It should be put right. It is a plain mat
ter, and people ought not to be led astray in it.
’ Some maintain that the office of envoy, ormin
! istcr extraordinary, to Great Britain, doesnotex
-1 ist, until Congress makes the necessary outfit and
salary—and then it becomes a new office created
by Congress. And because the Federal consti
’ tution says, that “no senator or representative
shall, during the time for which he was elected,
be appointed to any civil office under the authori
ty of the United States, which shall have been
created, &c. during such time.” Therefore nei
ther Mr. Webster, nor Mr. Calhoun, nor any oth
er member of Congress can he rightfully selected
for this mission to London.
What has Congress to do with the office of
minister ordinary or extraordinary, except to pay
or not to pay the officer I That is the question.
But, if Congress can create the office, Congress
can abolish it.
By the Constitution, “the President shall nom
inate, and by and with the advice and consent of
the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors and other
public ministers,” &c. And “shall receive am
bassadors and other public ministers.” Can Con
gress prohibit the President from receiving them?
Clearly not. There are exceptions even to this
high authority. But they are not provided for in
the federal Constitution. They are found only
in that code of law which creates the office of min-
>1 '•I .v Vi'!7‘
* k ister, &c. What is an ambassador &c. 1 This 1
is put, not of the man, but of the office.—Where
do we look tor the law that creates the office, pre
scribes and controls the privileges and exceptions
of its officer, but to the Law of Nations! In
a word, by the law of nations it will be found,
that the office of ambassador, &c. is perpetual in
peace or in war. If this be so then clearly there
is no constitutional objection in the matter.
M. O.
We learn from the Evening Journal, that Gen
eral Solomon Van Rensselaer, the highly es
teemed post-master of Albany, has received a let
ter from Amos Kendall, announcing ;hat he has
been “ instructed by the President of the United
States to say that in his judgement tub public
INTERESTS WILL HE PIIOMOTKn IIT A CHANGE OF
post-master at Aon an t,” ami itiat such change
will be made at the close of the present quarter!
“ While I am President,” said General Jackson
to the Hero of Quccnston, “ and you discharge
your duty faithfully, you are safe." Rut patriotic
service in the field, and a faithful discharge of offi
cial duty, are no security for a public office under
the present dynast}'.
It was not enough to dismiss General Van
r Rensselaer; it better suited Mr. Van Huron's dis
position and present temper to dismiss him with
insult. The vagabond Kendall, the President re
tains in office, after his grossly insulting letters to
the Senate; and gallant men who have served
their country are turned out of their places be
cause they will not connive at official scoundrel
ism and corruption.— New-York Courier and

A Russian Masquerade. —About Christ
mas, masquerades arc much in vogue in Russia,
and cyen when an ordinary ball is given at this
season, it is not unusual to place candles in the
windows of the house ns a signal that masks are
admitted without invitation. At the period to
which this story refers, namely, the Christmas of
1834, a ball was given at a house in Petersburg,
which was mentioned, but 1 have forgotten the
name of the owner, and the ordinary signal was
displayed for the admission of masks, several of
whom arrived in the course of the evening, stayed
a short time as usual, and departed. At length a
party entered dressed as Chinese, and bearing on
a palanquin, a person whom they catted their
I chief, saying that it was his fete day. They sat
, him down very respectfully in the middle of the
room, and commenced dancing what they said
was their national dance around him. When
this was concluded, they separated, and mingled
, with the general company, speaking French very
Well, and making themselves extremely agreeable.
After a while they began gradually to disappear
i unnoticed, slipping out of the room one or two at
a time, till at last they were all gone, leaving their
chief still sitting motionless,in dignified silence
in his palanquin in the middle of the room. The
ball began to thin, and the attention of those who
' remained was drawn to the grave figure of the
Chinese mask. The master of the house at length
went up to him, and told him that his compan
ions were all gone, politely begging him to take
; off his mask, that he and his guests might know
* to whom they were indebted for all the pleasure
the exhibition had afforded them. The Chinese,
; however, gave no reply by word or sign, and a
feeling of uneasy curiosity gradually drew around
1 him the guests who remained in the ball-room.—
The silent figure still took no notice of all that
was passing around him, and the master of the
house at length with his own hand took off the
mask, and discovered to the horrified by-standers
the face of a corpse. The police were immedi
ately sent for, and on a surgical examination of
1 the body, it appeared to be that of a man who had
been strangled a few hours before.
Nothing, however, could be discovered either
at the time or afterwards which could lead to the
identity of the murdered man, or the discovery of
the actors in this extraordinary scene; it was found
on inquiry that they arrived at the house where
they deposited the dead body, in a handsome
equipage, with masked servants. — Venable's Do

Dor killed nr a Leofahii. —A small boy, the
son ofMrs. Winship, living on Walnut street, was
, yesterday killed by a Leopard belonging to the
menagerie which has remained in this city during
- the past winter. It seems that the lad ventured
too near the cage, in which the animal was confi
ned, escaping the vigilance of the keepers, who
were apprised of the accident by hearing his cries.
The Leopard, finding the boy within his reach,
with a single stroke of the paw,(severed the jug
ular vein, causing his death in the space of ten
minutes. The occurrence it is probable, origin
ated wholly in the boy’s own carelessness.— Cin.

The Printer's Fame. —While strolling along
the wharf yesterday afternoon looking for a cha
racter on which to pounce, we overhauled an in
telligent looking, white headed Ethiopian patri
arch, sitting on a curb stone. We asked him the
story of his life, when he opened his mouth to the
following effect:
“ I’m gitten old now, and will soon be helplesss,
and will give myself up to any honest man, and
forty dollars to boot, who will agree to take me as
his slave for life.”
“ Well, can’t you trust us old uncle!”
“ What do you follow, master.”
“We have been a printer sir, for ten years; ever
since we were a little boy.”
“No master; I can’t trust you. I’ve seen
great wonders in my time of day, I can tell you.
—l've seen the hypocrite pass off after a life of
mischief and deception into the land of rest, if
we are to believe the miniate,’s word—and the
name of the good man after his journey of unti
ring lienevolence through the world, die at his
death.—l’ve seen married people happy, and
bachelors fretting with the hypocondriae.—l’ve
seen a miser drop a cent with a tear into the
shrivelled hand of the mendicant, and a noisy
church member pray in secret. I have known
water to run up stream, and stones to cry out, but
I have never known a printer of ten year’s stand
ing, who was Bound at the core—his subscribers
are sure to make him a rogue.”

All our subscribers pay in advance,” said we, as
we left him “alone in his glory.” Cincinnati

I saw a Soldier in the field,
, Who off lor Maine his legions wheeled ;
His cry lot cannon bull is :
Beneath the floating banner’s fold
1 see his step uu.l bearing bold ;
He bids the rattling drum be rolled
For Morus Mullieaulis.
An Editor came bouncing near,
With devil flouncing in Ins rear;
“ My aim to lay this brawl is”—
Aloud he spoke : “ Hood folk, ho still;
I’ll raise the devil withmj quill,
And he shall stuff you to the fill
With Morus Mullieaulis.
But, should lor me all muses sing,
And thus Pegasus spread Ins wing,
i 'I heir music rnylhertmall is ;
But smailcrstill, I gue.-s, will bo
i The warbling of the minstrelsy
Ol traders in the wondrous tree—
The Moms Mullieaulis.
