AMERICAN PAPER& BOSTON, Jtnizz 17. NORTLIEUN The (linty of the Commisbioners wider the 'fifth lA.:tete of the hie Treaty of Peace, is to fix the bo ,ndary line front the monument already esta blished at the :mace of the 6t. Croix to flue high lands between the waters of the Si. 'Lawrence, anti those that tall t!iteetly into the Atlantic, thence a'ounog Hue height of land to the source eef the Conneelicllt river, and alter deiuctoling said river to tl:c 45th , degree of latitude ; altni • - that parallel. of htitude to the St. Lavt r,mce. We iielieve that, Unfit - very lately, the.e bus rived Pint nue interpretation of the language of the Treaty ut 17e3, iu de scribing this part ut tae boundary line ut . the United States. Al that appeared to hr waiting that the c , ,untry should tie surveyed, and the line designiitid, by fixed limit mark . . bill now we understand that a new clam* has been set up by some people is the British Provinces, of a large tract of hind which has heretofore been '.:,uppostl to belong to the district of Maine. Whether this claim is urged by the agents of the British - Government, We are nut intormed. They pre tend that the high lands intended in the Treaty as• forming the northern lioundary of Maine, are those which lie south of the river St. John, and not the ridge between the St. John and the St. Lawrence. _ The Treaty thus desmihes the Northern, boundary of the Maine : " Along the said high Nadi which divide those rivers that empty themselves into she river St. Lawrence from those 'fall into the A laotic Ocean to the north-westernmost head of Connecticut river." Colonel Botiehette, in Isis late elaborate and valuable work upon Lower Canada, maintains that, by the riven that' fall inn the "'Mantic, are tileaut those that fall itircctly into the Ocean, to the exclusion of St. Joku, which falls into the bay of Fundy, and that the boundary line, instead of running trout the source of the Connecticut, north westerly along the ni,tiii ri4fge nearly" parallel with St. Law tenor, 6Ught rutt ntatly lit on easterly direction, on A se coliddry ridge south of the. Waters of time Nt. tun it it is intersected by the astronomical line rosining north tram the source of the St.. Croix. This appears to he a very straitened construction of the treaty, amt we presume will never be ad mitted as the true cousti tut:ion of that instrument. _ - The lute between Lower Canada and the States a Verinont and New York was established by actual measurement, in pursttatif.v of yellers from the Governments of the Pr •.riucet: of New York and Quehee, in 1771, 2,3, and 4, from a moon meta fixed em the Western bank of the Connecticut, to an ot her' at. the- village . of St. Regis, on the St. Lawrence, a distance of I 4ai miles. It is admitted that this is in some re spects irregular, and deviates sometimes to the North anal sometimes to the South, from tile course in wisich it uas itt seniletl to he run. It has also been repeatedly asserted, that the 'position. ot the monument tit theConnectient is nut rizta. Dr. Wit,LiAms maintained tinit it was some Miles - tun tar South; and Colonel lloucu LITE, ou the contrary, contends that it is more V.:WI three miles too far North. Whether it is intended to revise and ton anew this line, which has been considered as establish calor more than forty years, we are not informed. Tbc following notice of the proceedings of the Commissioners who lately convened in this town, is from the. Boston !ntelligeacer of Saturday last : THE BOUNDAMES OF THE UNIT ED STATES. The Counnisioners under the fourth and fifth articles of the Treaty of Ghent, for the purpose of settling the boundary line between the north eastern frunticr of the United States and the British dominions, and 144 determine whether the Islands in the Bay of Passamariut.thly and the bay of Fundy are comprehended in the boundaries established by the Treaty of 178:3, asseu:bled in this pla:e on the tOth of May last. The Commissioners under the fourth article were employed 14,1 - some days atter their Inecting lit nit examination of tztet, de , cuiuctits, inaps, au.! plans, in order to be possessed of a ,:tats of the controversy on both sides. After which .I.T. Austin, Esq. Agent of the American Cotnonssinn, opened a writtciz argument it) behalf of the United Sit;,tts, which ems , Itlaved him a week. W. Chipman, Esq. the Agent on behalf of the British Go vet mem, then uttered into his argument in favour of the claims of that nation, which occupied hint oat full day.— These respective arguments having been interchanged, the Cominissioners adjourned to meet on the 25th of September utct, at which time the pasties will be heard in reply to each other. _ . The Commissioners under the fifth article of the late Treaty, appointed two parties of explorers, consisting of .30 persons of each nation, and a suitable number of surveyors, to proceed from the monument upon the St. Croix, and pur sue the homidary line to the high lands which divide the wa ters which empty into the Atlantic from those that fall into the St. Lawrence. The Commissioners adjourned to meet again on the 1011 of May next, to receive the report of the el:plotilig parties, and of the surveyors. 1.3 v the Treaty of Ghent, it is provided, that in the event of a diifurcirce- of opinion upmi the sulijecrs under the consi deration of the Commissioners, his Britannic Majesty and the Government of the United Sti-qes, agree to refer the dif ficulties to souse ft iendly Sovereign or State, then to be named for that purpose—and in consequence of which expectation all tans arguments are delivered in writing.

Capt. MAU RICE, of the privateer, offered the Mat&of the Evening Post 300 dollars, and the people WO dollars each, if they would testify that the schooner was sold in Havannah, and get her condemned; with her cargo.—On the 15th, the.-Coult eon , demnect tip cargo, restored the schooner, and ordered Captain :MAURICE t? , restore the money taken from. Captain NY:tutors, and pay him half of his charter." lfire have inserted in another part of this Paper an Extract from some American Papers, respect ing a part of the Boundary Line of the United States, in which there is evidently an attempt to hold forth misrepresentations on a subject which is perfectly clear to all who have no interests but those of truth and the preservation of good' faith and cordiality between this Country and America. In answer to the statements in the American Bos ton Intelligencer of the 14th Jane, and other American Papers, we may venture to affirm, that there is no traith In the assertion that the Northern lionndary between the King's Colonies in North America, and the United States, " has been considered as establishedfor potery years." It is only necessary to remark, that the Treaty between the two Countries took place in 1783, and that Mr. Jus- Ike MARSHALL, ill hiS Lite of General WasniNG TON, published long afterwards, states, that scarce ly had the American War terminated, when Great Britain stud the United States charged each other , with having violated the Treaty of Peace ; and that on the construction of it, as to the Boundaries claimed by the United States, there existed great difference of opinion. In confirma tion of this fact, we can refer confidently to the published Official Correspondence betweett the two Countries in 1799 and 1803 ; and we are only induced to notice this subject, as it were in li'nine, to caution the Public from giving any credence to this attempt on the part of the Eastern States to create jealousies between the two Nations. We are well aware of thek inclination to lcsscn, in the estimation of the Americans in general, the advan tages which the Union has gained by the late Treaty with this Country, but we trust that the American Government will not be swayed by inferior consi derations, especially those which must influence the Legislatures' of the EaStern States ; but that the President will adhere strictly to the' integrity of . the late Treaty, which has been established on terms so highly advantageous to the GENERAL IN TERESTS of the United States. The arrival of Lord AMHERST et Portsmouth was stated in a Paper of last night, but the Ports mouth letters received at LLOYD'S yesterday and this morning do not mention it. THE FUNDS.—An improvement of one per Cent. has taken place since yesterday. Consols opened this morning at 79, went to 9+, and when our Reporter left the City the market looked brisk, and much business was doing. Thirty millions of Stock have been delivered since the opening o f Consols, IS of which were sold by the Public. Notwithstanding, however, this peat delivery of Stock, which was expected to depress the market, the above advance has taken place. The strong interest which we feel in 'whatever relates to our gallant Naval Defendets, has in duced- us to insert the ProposaS and Regulations made by the Board of Admiralty, and sanctioned by Order in Council. We wished to insert the Article wholly Irt once, brit other Matters have unavoid ably interfered. We shall, however, give it com plete;, and if any of our intelligent correspondents, who may tander!land the subject. better than we can be supposed to do, will favour its with their observations, we shall receive them with great pleasure, for though, vcl4le we OA boast of so I{ 4 i, OS :114{0i lAIII , I/ . 7 ".•CiLk ••••• • 7 -.. :it ion with any other in sae world, are lint say, with • ;he Ong, " Britain's best bulwarks are her wooden Wiill4 ;" yet it will be always a high. gra- tifieation to t to be, any in:tuner, initrunzen tml to promoting the comforts, and: rendtring due honour to the ehanicter 4,f tie Ili t i T isit I\;Avy. It was stated in this raper, and ortly in this Pepe'. of yesterday, that the Grand .Tury at Derby, of which Lord ,GEOIWO CAVENDISIu tcas the Foreman, had fwind true Bills against 4(.4 - Persons charged Wiah High Tiea , :on. There are others in custody, who Were previoosly confined under the saute chai•ge. e aubmit to the plain undertitand lugs of our Countrymen ‘vhethcr it was possible for OLivastr, as the Opposition Writers affirm, to have kindled such a flame of Treason and Sedi tion, even if it had. been his interption to do so,. and if he had trot joined with the disaffected Bands, in order to ascertain their views and to frustrate their iniquitous purposes We. know nothing of this OnvErt, but from Newspaper Reports, and what was said of him by Mr. J. 11. ADDING TON in the House of Commons, but we con fidently rely on the account which that Gentle man gave of him, because we are persuaded that Mr. ADMNGTON has too much penetration and judgment to be' deceived by false or spacious representatiwas,, and because we are fully con vinced, that a more honourable character does not exist, and that he never gave any statement, in or out of Parliament, that he bad not.reason to consider as well founded. To conceive that Om vva, who is not supposed to possess any extraor dinary poWers, intellectual or oratorical, is capa ble of spreading such a spirit of insurrection, would be to manifest the most pitiable.and culous credulity. The truth is, that the Oprosi tion writer: do not believe what they said on the subject,. for they are rather mischievous than silly; and if OLIVER had betrayed Government, as they accuse him of having done by the Riotous Re.for nters, whose plans he detected and exposed, he would have been hailed as A PATRIOT, and his merits would have been trumpeted forth every day in the Jonrnals of Faction. The following is a list .of some of the State Prisoners now in Derby Gaol, on charges of high ture. t reason : Jeremiah Brandreth, aq,ed 27, charged with aiding, abett ing., Rad assistin in the wilful murder of IL;beat Walters, at South Wingfield, and also with high, treason; ttgainSthis Jr.iTY;.

As it is our duty to gratify the taste of the va rious descriptions of our Readers, we have taken from a Morning Paper an account of the. JACoEIN FESTIVAL which took place yesterday at the Crown and Anchor, iarhonour of the escape of the Persons lately charged with High Tveason. We are, however, reluctant to soil our pages with any reports of such mischievous Meetings. We need make no comment, as the account of the Pro ceedings speaks far itself. It islhe manifest ob ject of the Promoters of such Meetings to endea vour to make the Public believe that a verdict of Not Guilty, for want of sufficient evidence, is tan tamount to an honourable acquittal. None, how , ever, but Rogues and Fools would attempt to confound positions so adverse. It is observable that only a low description, of PolitiCal Reformers were present. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT was not there. Mr. BastsaT hardly Condescended to send an answer, after nine days of deliberation. Ma jor CAItTwIIIGIT, that old and hackneyed Dabbler in Reform, shunned the company ; and even Citizen WooLER repented of having given his assent, and kept aloof. To crown the whole, the ,travelling .Orator was the Head of the Gang.
