commissioner.
The cammitTuneti appointed
in pursuance ct the Fifth Article
of the Treaty of Amity, Com
merce arid Navigation, between
the United Satei and hit Bitattic
Mijefry, to determine what river
waa trot, intended under the
name of the river So Croix men
tioned in the Treaty of Peace, and
,forming a pare 6 of the boundary
therein deferibrd. have finally de
cided that question. Oi the
twenty fifth of O^ober, they made
their declaration that a river called
-Scodiaf, which falls into P«ffam^.
qooddy Bay, at its north- weftern
quarter, was the true St; Croix in
tended in the treaty of peace, p
far as its great fork, where one of
its streams comes from the west
ward & the other from the north
ward, and that the latter Bream is
the continuation of the S. Croix
to its source. This dectfino, it %
. understood, will preclude all can
tention amorg individual c^im
ants, as it teems that the Schoodiac
and its northern branch, bound
the grants of lands which have
been made by the relpcAive ad
joining governments. A fobordi
nate queffioo however, it has been
fu^gefted, Bill remain to be deter
mined. Between the mouth ot
the Sr, Croix, as now fettled, and
what is usually called the Bay of
Fund,;lie a number of valuable
Inlands. The Commiffionerthave
not continued the boundary lines
through any channel of these ifl
xndi, and unlefi the Bay of Paffr
maquoddy be a part of the Bay of
Foody, this further adjoftment of
boundary will be necethry. But
it is apprehended that this will not
;be a matter of an, difficulty.
Such progreG has been made in
the examination and decision ofl
cases of capture and condensation
of American vessels, which were
the fubjed of the seventh Article
of the Treaty of Amity, Com

?United Snrei and Great Britain,l
that it is foppoftd the Commit

Extrad of a letter from a Gentleman io

of the Hen. Gen. Court of this State.
" Unity in the people, and

fear the wiles'of that Monger,

may with some propriety be
called a substitute for that ser
pent, which once paid Eve a

I have dire&ed an eflimate of
the appropriations which will be
necessary for the service of the en
foiog year to be laid before you,
accompanied with a view of the
public receipts and expenditures to
a recent period. It will afford
you fatilfaaion to infer the great
extent and solidity of the public
resources, from the profperoo^ Bite
of the finances, not wjchftending
the unexampled embarraffmeou
which have attended commerce.
When you refled on the confpic>
nous examples of patriotism and
liberality which have been'rxhibic
ed by our mercantile fellow citi
zens, and how great a proportion
of the public resource, depends on
their eoterprize, you will iwurall,
cOnfider, whether their conven
ience cannot be promoted and re
conciled with the lecurity of the
revenue, by a revision of the syst
em, by which the coilediop is at
pefent regulated.
During your receft, meafuroa
have been Beadily puriued for
effecting the valuations and returns
directed by the ad of the left fef-
Gon, preliminary to the zff ffment
and cohaion of a dired tax. No
other delays or obftactei have been
experienced, except foch as were
expeded to itife fcp«n the great
extent of our country, fed the
magnitude and novelty of the
operation, and enough has been
accomplished to assure a fu fi'-
