WASHINGTON, Maces 4. —The third Session of the 25th
Congress has absolutely closed. The Members stuck to
the Capitol on the last clay (Sunday) with a tenacity that
was surprising. They kept their seats as long as they
could with any propriety, and longer than, according to
the opinion of some, the Constitution justificdsthem in so
doing. Half of the Members have alread) left the city,
and in a few days more all will be gone.

BOUNDARY QUESTION.
FROM THE NORTH EASTERN FRONTIER.
The Portland Argus of Saturday contains the following
advices from the Aroostook—

" A letter has been received at head-quarters, from
Colonel Jarvis, dated at the encampment on the Aroostook,
February 24. All were then well. One hundred men
had taken a position at the mouth of the Little Machias,
and had fortified themselves there. A detachment of 200
were intending to move 30 or 40 miles down the river to
the Lower Portage, where another fortification was to be
established. This position would be about ten miles from
the line.

It is rumoured that 5 000 British troops, among whom
are 2,000 regulars, left Fredericton on the 23d ult. for
the disputed territory. A detachment of 300 or 400 men
were to leave Portland yesterday, and a large force was
rapidly concentrating on the Aroostook, and throit ing up
fortifications.

STILL LATER.—By an extra from the Bangor Mechanic
and Farmer office, dated March 2, it appears that intelli-
gence has been received, via Houlton, that a regiment of
Fusiliers, 800 strong, had arrived at St. John's from Cork.
It was thought that these and other troops were to ba sent
forward to the frontier as quickly as possible.
A letter from Houlton, dated Feb. 28, says that the whole
of the Maine force had gone down the river, cud were
building a fort near Fitzbcrbert's. It was also stated that a
regiment of 500 men had arrived at the Madawaska settle-
ment from Quebec, but that they were ordered to Nev;
Brunswick, before the outbreak.
An express passed tbrongh Woodstock for Fredericton,
with information that a company of volunteers, 25 men,
under Captain G. Buckmore, the surveyor employed by
Massachusetts and Maine, had captured five men, eight
oxen, and four horses, on Fish River, and brought them
into camp. _

A gen!lernan from Woodstock reports that the militia
are gathering on the frontier. Only 140 regulars were at
Woodstock, with seven pieces of artillery. —Boston JUero.
Journal.

(From the Boston Daily Advertiser.)
Governor Fairfield is urging forward his militia with

Aroostook, General liodsdon's brigade of 1,000 men at
Moulton, and General Batchelder's brigade of 1,000, who
are on the march from Augusta, another 1,000 are under
orders to march, viz., 400 from Oxford, who are to arrive
