11PORT ANT INTELLIGENCE
/TOM. TH E !TED STATES.

The British (.-,neen steamer, now the property of
71elgian Go\ (anti-lent, arrived at ('c yes last night
twat New York, aid has brought papers up to the
-ast. She in d? the passage in about fifteen days,
and brings in:,,iligence eight days later than that fur-
nished by the Acadia steamer, which arrked on the.
13th. The, intelligence from the United Sta'es is
highly satisfactory, The North Eastern Boundary
Question is ahead,/ Lrranged to the satisfaction of all
Parties, The Creo!e case is settled, and that of the
Caroline is in the course of adjustment. It is also
stated that the Right of Search Question has been
ain'2ably disposed on
• The whole of thne important questions, we learn,
will be fir: arrnicsed, and then submitted to the
Senate shnultant•sly ; and
_it is generally believed
that they will not meet with any opposition, as the
majority of that body are desirous of terminating
these affairs in rm amicable way. Nothing official
had transpired raspecting the negotiations between
Lord. Ashl-airtol and Mr. Webster, but as they both
have full rower.; to settle every point, and have been
instructed by their respective Governments to bring
the matter to a peaceful conclusion, there is now,no
reason to doubt that they have been completely suc-
cessful. Aire congratulate our own countrymen as
Well as the people of the United States on this happy
result, so creditable, and at the same time so bene-
eial, to two great nations. The Senate passed the
Tariff Bill on the sth instant, by a vote of 2.5 to 23;
put it was anticipated that the President wculd veto
it in a few days " The cotton and corn crops," says
the New York Herald," are abundant, and Heaven is
roiling
on the induStrious and deserving."
iaAmong tl:e passengers by the British Queen is
Silas, Mr. Stillwell, United States Marshal for
the district of New York, who has come over as a
special messenger from Washington, but on matters
in no way connected With Lord Ashburton's mission.
Pe has gone on to Antwerp, and will go to Paris be-
Ore ha visits this country.
vlhe Warspite, Captain Lord John Hay, is still at
'ew York.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
Ntw YoRK, Ave. 7.—Upon this sub- ect there is
llot much , hat can be said. to send out by the British
Queen for the information of our numerous European
tenders.
We an without a tariff, without a currency, with-
ottt credit, and should he much better off if, for a few
tlhths, we were without a Congress. The Tariff
11 has passed both Houses ; and as it still contains the
distribution clause, the President will veto it. Still
.e Attorney-General thinks that the present law is
v'tittcient to enable the (.4overnment to collect the re-
under it. In the mean time all duties are
Nld under protest.
Congress will ad,:eurn in a delicious row in two or
Zree weeks, perhaps in less time. We hope so; but
izt before the Senate passes the treaty with Great
4 stain.
In the meantime all the interested parties are satis-
fied with the treaty, and Lord Ashburton is preparing
return bottle.

few miserable politicians and office beggars are
i'Ying to form a third political party, but it will not
fleeeed.
The cotton and corn crops are abundant,and Heaven
stifling on the industrious and deserving. In the
Zettntime Satan takes care of his own in Wall-street,
'4l is stirring up the elements of strife in Congress.

PASEING OF THE TARIFF.
h._WASHINGTOT:;, FRIDAY EVENING.—The Senate
reed the Tariff Bill this afternoon, precisely as it
kllle from the House, by a vote of 25 to 23 ; Messrs.
ifeston, lives, and Graham voting with the twenty
irlocrats against it—Mr. Henderson, absent ; and
• Berrien nfus'ng to vote. It will go to the Pre-
eldeut to-morroW, and early in the week a veto may
...expected. A great row will then take place, and
'l;._?rts will be made to adjourn at once, but a Revenue
'l,l of some sort will no doubt be passed.
t 0 Which
House cleared, the private calendar of all Bills
Which no objection was made.
TIIE TREATY WITH GREAT BRITAIN.—It gives us
Lil 'ettt pleasure to announce that everything connected
this impoi-tant affair is now in a fair way to be
r ,edily and amicably settled. The last of the Bri.
4/1 Commissioners from Maine passed through this
tY ate yesterday, on his way home from 'Washington.
states that all the details of the treaty, as we have
ti fore_ given them, have all been agreed to, and
tAtned by all parties interested, and nothing
the but the ratiieation of the treaty by
7 Senate, which is expected to take place now in a
Y few days. Indeed, so confident do all parties
;inn, about this business, that even in Canada the
egee of wild lands has doubled within the last two
eel:* s ; and emigrants and settlers who before were
',„7rful to locate themselves for fear of a war, are
thing to the land offices, and vieing with each
tllher as to who shall become permanently settled in
colony the soonest. This is a good sign; and, in
-Ng,
clition to the above, we learn that Governor Kent,
Maine, who is still in -Washington, has written
pers. home, expressing his full conviction that the
...11edary Treaty will be confirmed by the United
''tes Senate.
BALTIMORE, AUG. 6.—From gentlemen who ar-
red frordWashington last evening, I learn that there
ire
itrumours that Lord Ashburton has
.determined
ttill leaving the city in a very few days, preparatory
return to Europe, and that the
41 Boundary
I;culties between the two nations had been posi-
/eIY and amicably settled. The following, in the
trerican of this morning, seems to be confirmatory
What I have heard :
1" Gentlemen who have just returned from Wash-
,‘qton state that rumours were very current there,
(1 generally believed, that Lord Ashburton would
:.\-e that city in a few days, preparatory to his de-
lrture for England, the terms of the treaty which he
tlas sent to this, country to negotiate having been con-
Odni. to his 'satisfaction. It was also stated that
,kr Webster designed to resign his office as Secretary
t' State soon af: er the adjournment of Congress. Of
t°olll'se we do not know what credit is to be attached
these reports, but, as the same rumours have
`gat
us before from other sources, it is possible
`gat there may be some truth in them."
A decline of 50 cents per barrel has taken place in
during the past week. The market is now well
°l-ei, and Howard-street standard brands can be had
47,.
t-1 dols. 50 cents., per barrel ; City-mills, too, has
6 lieu to dols. 87i cents.; Susquehanna, 5 dols.
cents. Inspections.. of the week are 10,059 bar-
-11,13 and 324 half-barrels, besides 82 barrels rye flour,
44d 259 corn meal. Wheat is coming in plentifully,
n" rules from 1 dol. to 1 dol. 15 cents., according to
' 4',Wity. Beef cv ttle in demand, and sales were made
4 logs. to 5 Dols. per 100 lb. Whiskey, in hhds.,
:<!trfts., in barrels 26 cents.
yet
.'th fe matter o the s not
1, decided, and
nY. fears are entertatreatinedy i
won the subject. The
of the St. John's, said to be given up to
United States, is a very equivocal grant. Outside
the 1.1. e line at which the United States boundary strikes
St. John's is a fall of 75 feet, which renders the.
~sit-"c utterly unnavigable. The navigation is hot and
1:'nllot be made available without the cession of the
ofid on one side of it. This fact has hitherto been
eeealed from the
public, but is known to the
'nate.
