The business of the meeting being closed, his honor, the Mayor, remarked, that “as this was the last time he should preside over the deliberations of Council, ho wished to present them his un feigned thanks for tne uniform support which he had received from them, during the past year, and hoped that the same harmony of feeling which had marked their relations, would hereafter con tinue to exist. He should not, perhaps, ever meet them again in a public capacity, but he would ever continue to feel the deepest and most lively interest for the welfare of the city over whose councils he had so often been called to preside, as well as for the individual prosperity ol those gentlemen who had been associated with him in the discharge of arduous public duties,” — and bidding them a courteous farewell, he reti red.

The Globe contains the following letter of General Scott, announcing the amicable adjust ment of the North Eastern Boundary dispute : Head Quarters, Eastern Division,? Augusta, Maine, March 20, 1839.5 Sir;—l have the happiness to enclose herewith two copies of the arrangement entered into through my agency, between the Governor of Maine and the Lieutenant Governor of the Pro vince of New Brunswick. The copy of my official note to Sir John Har vey, with his acceptance of the arrangement, is in the hands of the Governor of Maine, and ano ther copy of the same official note, followed by the acceptances of the Lieutenant Governor and the Governor, was yesterday transmitted by me to Sir John Harvey. At the sumo time 1 sent him copies of two orders which were yesterday issued by the Governor of Maine—the first dis banding the thousand detached militia which bus been held in reserve at this place, and the second recalling the military force of the Slate from the disputed territory, and directing the organization of the civil posse that is to be held by the State in that territory. The papers so transmitted and which bore the signature of the Governor of Maine, or that of bis Adjutant General, were offi cially certified by me. I trust that the arrangement between the Gov ernor and Lieutenant Governor, together with my humble agency in bringing it about, will be satis factory to the President and the department. The arrangement, I have no doubt, will be executed by the parties to it in good faith and in cheerful ness. In haste, I have the honor to remain, with high respect, your obedient servant, WINFIELD SCOTT. Hon. J.R. Poinsett, Secretary of War. Added to this is the following very friendly and gentlemanly letter of Sir John H arvey : Government House, J Freiierickton, March 23, 1839. 5 My Dear General Scott:—Upon my return from closing the session of the Provincial Legislature this day, I was gratified by the receipt of your very satisfactory communications of the 21st in stant. My reliance upon you, my dear General, has led me to give my willing assent to the pro position which you have made yourself the accep table medium of conveying to me, and I trust that as far as the Province and State respectfully arc concerned, an end will have been put, by it, to all border disputes, and away opened to an amicable adjustment of the national question involved. I shall hope to receive the confirmation of this ar rangement on the part of the State of Maine at as early a period as may be practicable; and it is my intention to proceed to Woodstock early in the ensuing week, I request you to have the good ness to address it to me at that place. I shall certainly use my best endeavors to protect the timber on the valley of the St. John within the disputed territory, from depredators, and shall probably place, for this purpose, a small civil force at the disposal of the warden. I grieve to learn that there is so little chance of my seeing you upon the present occasion : but I wish you to give me some ground for holding that I may have that high gratification at as early a period as may be compatible with your many im portant and arduous duties. Believe me to remain, my dear General, with sentiments of warm esteem, regard and respect, your faithful friend. (Signed) J. HARVEY. P. S. I readily consent to all my letters to you being considered as semi official, and thank you for the suggestion. (Signed) JOHN HARVEY. Major General ftcott, &c. &c. Vert Mysterious. —lt has been very cur rently rumored in town to-day, that a man named Flood, a sergeant in Maj. McGrath’s corps of lancers, has been taken up, charged with being in correspondence with the “Patriot Hunters.” We believe that a plan of the city, garrison, &c., | was found in his pos'-ession, and letters offering i him a reward for firing the Government House, and other putilic buildings, It is said that he was holding out for a higher sum than that offered. The papers, were discovered accidentally. He was examined yesterday before the Executive Council for a considerable lime, and has been committed to jail. The affair is creating a great deal of excitement.— Toronto Examiner, From the N, V. Courier .S' Enquirer. Humiliatino Contrast 1794 AM) 1838 —Mr. Senator King, of Georgia, in the best speech which he ever delivered in Congress, re marked that more grey hairs had grown upon the head of our Republic within fifty years, than ought to have grown there in centuries of peaceful and constitutional administration. We believe that he spoke sincerely, and therefore we cannot credit the report that he has again allied himself with the defaulters and plunderers now in power; the men whom their friend Mr. Pickens—the chivalrous Mr. Pickens, of South Carolina—de scribed as the most corrupt and profligate set of wretches that cverc.awlcd into power. We were never so forcibly impressed with the. truth of Mi. King’s remarks, as we have been in perusing the letters of General Hamilton and Mr. Wolcott, in relation to some of the early defalca tions in the department of the Treasury. Any one who will read these letters, which we icpub lish below, cannot fail to be struck by the hu miliating contrast which they present, with the letters of Mr. Secretary Woodbury, written under similar exigencies. It will be perceived that the rule adopted by General Hamilton and President Washington, in regard to defaulters, was per emptory. It admitted of no evasion or exeuse. When a public officer so far neglected his duty, as to suffer a draft of the department to be returned protested, after ho had given notice of funds on hand to meet such draft, he was forthwith dis missed from office. If Mr. Woodbury had but followed the prece dent thus established in the better and purer days of the Republic, our official records would not now exhibit the endless catalogue of speculators and defaulters, which is published in the docu ments of the Department. Treasury Department, Feb. 10, 1798. Si u: The enclosed letter of the 27th of last month, from the collector of Tappahannock, re lates to a subject equally delicate and disagreea ble. It is my duly to add, that bills have returned protested to the amount of $3OOO. This conduct, though I trust proceeding from no ill motive in the collector, is of a nature so fatal to the punctual collection of the revenue, and at the same time so vitally injurious to the public credit, that I cannot forbear to submit it as my opinion that the public good requires the super ■ ceding ot the officer. W ith perfect respect, &c. ALEXANDER HAMILTON. To the President of the United States. Treasury Department, June 16, 1794. Sin; It is with regret that I inform you that another collector has suffered Treasury drafts to return unpaid, which were drawn upon moneys reported by him to be in his hands—Abraham Archer, Esq. of Yorktowu. Enclosed arc letters of apology on the subject. All the draffs which were at first declined were afterwards paid. I perceive nothing substantially to distinguish this case from that of the collector of Tappuhan nock, who was lately superseded on a similar ac count. Nor can I Ibi bear, however palnfUl the task, to submit it as my opinion, in this ns in that case, that the good of the public service requires a displacement of the officer. Punctuality in this respect is too indispensable not to be made the invariable condition of continuance in office. With perfect respect, &c. ALEXANDER HAMILTON. To the President of the United States. Theasuuv Department, Feb. IS, 1795. The Secretary of the Treasury has the honor respectfully to submit to the President of the United States certain documents, by which it ap pears that John Muir, collector for the district of Vienna, in Maryland, has neglected his duty in failing to collect, or to institute in season, suits for the recovery of bonds for duties due to the United Stales. The collector has moreover failed to pay certain drafts drawn on him by the Treasurer of the Uni ted States, for moneys appearing, by returns to the Treasury, to be on hand; and in this respect he is found to be in the same predicament, as the collector of York and Tappahannock, who were superseded. The Secretary is firmly of opinion that the good of the public service requires that this officer should be displaced ; and, from inquiries which he has made of Mr. Murray, of the House of Representatives, he is induced to believe that James Frazier is a fit character to succeed to the office. All which is most respectfully submitted. OLIVER WOLCOTT, (Secretary of the Treasury. To the President of the United States. Here we see no cavilling, no paltering with delinquency. Nothing is said of the political or personal connections of the defaulters, or of their ability to serve or injure the administration. A just rule is strictly applied without reference to persons or consequences. Can Loco Focoism peruse these letters in con nection with those of the present Secretary ofthc Treasury, to the scores o* 1 defaulters in his em ployment, and say that Levi Woodbury does not richly merit impeachment I The Conservative Loco*Foco. The Warrenton (Va,) Times “shows up,” af ter the following ludicrous and laughable style, the venerable Conservative-Loco Foco of the Rich mond Enquirer. “When he first came upon the stage, bundled up in his conservative over-coat, ill concealing the loco foco figure, his actions were dubious, his blows were awkward, his position was wretched. There he stood between his divided parly, a pro ■ fessed conservative, but practical loco foco: the connecting link between the rowdy outright and, the dcmi-gentleman. He vas sco ned by the lo co focos, and derided by the wings. This halt-way business, we saw, could not last i long. His conversation we knew must go to pot. Accordingly we have seen him. on the late occa- 1 sion, in full assemblage of the whole Htate, like 1 Billy Hr slon in the Flying Wardrobe, cast off i first his conservative great coat —then his long- I tail blue—then his waistcoat—then his sham— I his sham again—anothersham—another—anolh- i er—another yet—a sham again—again—a sham i Heavens! what a mass of sham disguised his. fair proportions! Behold him now denuded of ; I his cumbrous conservatism ! How free his mo- j ' lions! How natural and unconstrained ! With S 1 the buoyant spirit of youth, he bounds into the ; t box of his sub-treasury coach ; and with a light heart and thin pair of breeches, this most accorn- \ plished whip rattles his machine over the nation, reckless of its “destructive properties,” and “re- t volutionory tendencies.” How strange! A professional conservative driving the sub-treasury stage ! Imagine a poor way-faring whig trying' to stop him in his mad 1 drive, with holloa driver! you have dropped your way bill, handing him u paper which reads thus: From a Richmond Enquirer of lost fall, “We (Mr. Ritchie) can have no alternative, we dare not hesitate between our country and our party. 1 his odious sub-treasury scheme must be resisted at all hazards and'every sacrifice.— We view it with a holy horror! Whilst it will prostrate the best interests of our country .[its ten dency is subversive of every principle of repub licanism. It is ruinous and revolutionary.” “Damn the way-bill I” shouts this reckless dri ver, and crack goes the whip, and round the wheels.” The London Times of the 21st February con tains a chapter from the forth-coming work of Captain .Marryatt, on America, in which the au thor treats ol the armed and commercial marine ot the United btates. It may well be supposed that the naval allairs ot this country would at tract the especial attention of uuob ~,,,,, „ Captain Marryatt, and, whatever wo may think of some of his views, it must be admitted that in the examination, he has manifested much min uteness ot observation. After giving a tabular statement of the various classes of our ships of war, and their respective nominal armaments, the captain goes on to insist that there is no equality whatever between them and vessels of the same denomination in the Dritish Navy, the superiority being very great in favor of the Americans, in weight of metal and heaviness of scantling. He says ot our line of battle ships, that they are the most perfect in model and workmanship in the world, and alludes to the Ohio as being the very perfection of a ship of her class. He alleges that one of our frigates of the first class is equal in point of armament and number of men to a British 74. A statement is given of the number of oilicers in our service, and the rales of their pay in sterling money are annexed, showing a great disparity between the compensation which they receive and that which is allowed to British officers of the same rank. Wo furnish the com parative statement, believing that it will be read with interest: Officers. Americans. Eng. Half-pay Post Captain, senior on £ £ leave, corresponding to Coni. or Rear Admiral in England, 730 456 Post-captain off duty (that is, duty on shore) 630 On leave, 526 191 Commander, of sea duty, 440 In yards, and on duty, 3HO 155 Lieutenants—Shore duty, 315 Waiting orders, oron leave 250 90 Passed Midshipmen—Full pay 156 25 Half-pay 125 0 Whilst the writer approves of the large pay given to our officers, he is not willing to attribute it to any feeling of liberality, of which ho re gards democracies as incapable, hut refers it to necessity, as, were not the officers well paid, no person would enter the naval service in a country v here the facilities of obtaining a genteel subsist ence are so great. In speaking of his intercourse with the senior officers in the American Navy, the captain pays n just tribute to their liberality intelligence, and gentlemanly deportment, which he compares with the intolerance displayed by persons on shore, —who, us he says, do not un derstand what they talk about,—not much to the advantage of the latter. The following are his remarks in which we think he has done no more than justice to the brave and enlightened class of men of whom he speaks : “ During my sojourn in the United Stales I became acquainted with a large portion of the senior officers of the American navy, and I found them gifted, gentlemanlike, and liberal. With them 1 could converse freely upon all points re lative to the last war, and always found them ready to admit all that could be expected. The American naval officers certainly form a strong contrast with the majority of their countrymen, and proved by their enlightened and Liberal ideas how much the Americans in general would be improved if they had had the same means of com parison with other countries which the naval offi cers by their profession have obtained. Their partial successes during the late war were often the theme of discourse, and conducted with tan donrand frankness on both sides. No unpleasant feeling was ever raised by any argument with thorn on the subject, while the question raised among their “ free and enlightened” brother citizens who knew nothing of the matter was certain to bring down upon me such a torrent of bombast, false hood, and ignorance, ns required all my philoso phy to put up with apparent indifference. Bull must now take my leave of the American navy to refer to their merchant marine.” From the national, our author passes to the commercial marine of the United States, and en ters into an elaborate calculation to shew that our ships are, for the most part, manned by British subjects. In proof of this assertion, he states that during his sojourn on this side of the Atlan tic lie had been frequently visited and accosted by seamen who had served under him, and who told him, on being asked how it was that they had left the service of their native country, that it was the pay of eighteen dollars a month which indu ced them to do so. In further support of his po sition he adverts to the circumstance that in this country youths never enter upon a sea-life with a view of remaining “ firremoet men," nor can they be expected to do so whilst the time consumed in making them able seamen would enable them to become independent or wealthy men on shore. 'l'he captain aniit adverts on the ease with which British subjects can become luma fide American citizens, the language of the natives of America being the same as that of persons born in the British Islands, The estimate he makes is that America employs 30,000 British seamen who would, in the event of a war, be taken from her, provided that measures to that end were adopted. —Hull I mure American. Flouiusiies.—lt is amusing to observe how much the world is taken by flourishes. Fair, simple, candid statements of facts do not gsdown. They attract no attention—get no hearers, and consequently no believers. Whoever then has a point to carry, a new business to establish, or the introduction of himself to the public to effect, must come down upon the nation at once with the announcement of his own celebrity and con sequence ! He must be “ celebrated” at the com mencement, or he never will he afterwards.
