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.

Minutes of a called meeting of the Richmond Blues,lheld at the Company’s Drill Room, March 25th, 1839. The meeting was called to order, Captain Ronr.nTSON in the Chair, and Serjeant Robert son Acting Secretary. The Chairman then proceeded to state the ob ject of the meeting, which was, to take into con sideration the decision of Messrs. E. B. Beall. Wm. W. Holt, and J. P. Gairdnkii, upon the difficulties existing between the Clinch Rifle' men and Richmond Blues, to whom the corrcs £ pondcnce of the respective commanders of these corps, relative to that subject, had been mutually referred. Private D. W. St. John, then offered the fd* lowing preamble and resolutions, which were sec. ended by private John S. Hutchinson, and unanimously adopted : That whereas, the Richmond Buts agreed at acallcd meeting, held on the Ist of March, 1839 to submit the difficulties existing between the Clinch Riflemen and this Company, to Messrs.

Therefore, Resolved, That we do as a corps hereby abide by the decision made by these gentlemen on the 23d of March, 1839. And further Resolved, That Capt.

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. Correspondence of the Atlas. * 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. From the N. Y. Courier 4- Enquirer, of the 21st. Lower Canada. 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 the editor confined in jail. y/ From the New Orleans See. 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.” / From the New Orleans Louisianian, 22 d inst. 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.

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 mestic Scenes in Russia. 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. Rep., March 16. 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.” “ Oh ! my good man, you need not he afraid.— All our subscribers pay in advance,” said we, as we left him “alone in his glory.” Cincinnati News From the Philadelphia Public ledger, Moms Multieaulis.
