MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY (THIS DAY): TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Halifax Papers to the 3d April, ha►e been received at the North and
South American COffee.house ; we extract the following
" The Governor of the Maine has transmitted to the Legislature,
another correspondence justreceived from the Presitlent, We have not
as yet had the perusal of the documents; but understand the President
proposes that Maine shall authorise him to negotiate for a conventional
line of boundary; to which the Governor strongly objects, and insists
upon running the line according to the treaty. The subject will receive
the attention of the Legislature, we presume, as soon as the docittnenti
are printeel,',

From the Eastport Sen March 21 :—" The joint Select Com-
mittee of the Legislature of Maine, to whom was referred that part of
the Governor's Message, and other documents, relating to the North
Eastern boundary, have made a Report which we doubt not will meet
the approbation of the Legislature, as well as the people of Maine:—
" Resolved—That the Legislature heartily respond to the sentiments
of the Chief Magistrate of the State, in recommending an earnest de-
rnand upon the General Government to put an end to the intrusive and
unjustifiable jurisdiction over our citizens and soil by a Foreign Poµ•er.
" Resolved—That perceiving no ground of hope that Great Britain
will yield to the rightful claims of Maine, while by procrastination or di-
plomacy it can be avoided, we deem it the imperative duty of the Ge,
tie►a} Government to run and establish the line, according to the Treaty
of t7Ei§, &NI that the State demands ap early accomplishment of this
object.

" Resolved—That the use which has been made of the territory by
the British Government as the thoroughfare for its troops, and a place
on which they have encamped without authority, is a palpable outrage
upon the United States, and a fresh cause of complaint.
" Resolved—That the Government and all executive officers ought
to take prompt and effectual measures to cause all laws to be rigidly en-
forced against persons who may assume, or attempt to violate, the rights
of the State, or of the citizens occupying the disputed territory ; and
that measures be taken to arrest offenders against those laws, and cause
them to be brought to trial before our own judicial tribune's.
Resolved—That the opening of the winter road from the Aronstie
to the Motith Of Madawasha River is all important as ending this State :
to extend the protection of its laws to the people of Madawasha and its
vicinity ; and that Massachussetts be requested to co-operate with this
State in effeking this object."

On• Friday night a seYere snow storm took place at Halifax, and o
the following morning the streets were impassable.

Some anxiety has been felt by the American merchants in the City,
to hear of the two Steamers bound to New York, which have sailed for
several days past.

At length, this morning, we have two accounts of the Sirius having
been spoken with about half-way to New York, which she made in
ten days ; but as yet we remain without any tidings of the Great Western
Steamer, for which much anxiety prevails.
