ARRIVAL of TEE:A..t AliIA -
Liveneooe. SATCR,DAI
The fine steamer, Acadia,.Captain Ryrie, arrived in - "'r°''the river toklay at 12 o'clock, after an excellent :4e411
passage of nine days fifteen hours from Halifl-rc,Avii,
she stilled on the'afternoon of the 3rd, and from Boston _ -
on the :Ist... _ . - . 7 ~ . 7 • • •
The British Queen arrived at New _ York on the
27th ult. The Great Western- arrived out on the
morning of thellOth, after a passage of l 3 days.
The Columbia had arrived out after a ten days and
a bah! passage—one of the quickest to the west ever_
known. The cotton market was extremely dull dur..• -ieso
ing the week preceding the sailing of the packet, and
freight were without improvement. The elktiney. -eeese-°
Market was heavy, and the rate of Exchange one
England 106+ to 106-i.
This arrival confirms, we are happy to say, the pre-
vious intelligence that the settlement of the Boundary ,
Question is at length completed. The details, pub- a-e
lished in all the papers, and criticised with considere
able severity in some of 'them, on account of the too -
favourable terms said to be conceded to England, are
exactly the same as those we published on Saturday.
The National Intelligencer of the 29th ult., has the
following remarks on the negotiation relative to the
North Eastern Boundary :
_Lord Ashburton is believed to have held out long ;;f.
for the entire Madawaska settlement. But the Maine to
Commissioners are said to have been as immovable RS .
any four pine stumps on the disputed territory. So
Maine, under the arrangement, goes to the river St. ;f":
John's. It is' not unlikely, we learn, that the line
which the Dutch arbiter decided for, the line of the - V:4l
St. John's and the St. Francis, will be agreed to.
But then the Maine gets what the Dutch King did C:e_;l.,
not give her, the navigation of the river ; and this
trebles the value of all her tall pine trees. West-
wardly of the St. Francis, England takes a tract
of mountain land, untimbercel, and of no earthly
value. but- as a boundary. ; and she relinquishes to the
United States Rouse's Point, the key of Lake Champ-
lain, and a large territory heretofore supposed to
belong to New York and Vermont, but which turns ,
out to lie north of the 45th degree of latitude, and is ;et;
therefore a. part of Canada. It is said to be, ;and
probably is, in consequence of this cession, that the
United States Government agrees to pay a sum -to e•
each of the States of Maine and Massachusetts for the.
acres-they have parted with ; not more than a quarter.„-:
as much, however, as General Jackson offered to give
to Maine alone, during his administration, in the year
1832,-. It is thought there are questions of boundary- _
further up, as the Secretary of State has summoned
here the Commissioners, &c., who ran the line, .9r, se
endeavoured to, do so, under the treaty of Ghent (hui,g;;ie ;;.1
could not always agree), from the river of ele-;40
Lawrence to the Lake of the Woods ; and it is slip- -75 see:
posed that all remaining questions, in. that far-off
world, will be settled. 7 tl of
THE NEW TARIFF There—The New Tariff Bill
had passed the House of Representatives by a veryeffillgeer
small majority-116 to 112. -Itwas then sent to the'
Senate, and formed the subject of daily. debates there •
at the time the packet sailed.
A NEW LINER.— Messrs. Grinnell, Mintum, and
Co., have, in these dull times, laid down the timbers an
ship of thirteen hundred and fifty tons, for their Liverpool -
line. This will be the largest of all the packet-ships,
and superior in all respects, so far as it is possible to
do better than the best of what is past.—Commercial
Advertiser.
CROPS.—The harvest is expected to be very abute-
dant. Letters from the South give very flatteries
reports of the appearance of the corn and cotton crepes.
TILE COLUMBIA.—The Columbia, from Liverpool,
made her passage in ten and a half days, being the
quickest voyage to the westward on record. .
BRAZlL.—lntelligence from Rio Janeiro stat.- •
that an insurrection had broken out in the province 017.. •
St. Paul's, but that it was thought of little moment, ,f y 7;,
and was expected to 'be easily put down. Captain "ee,eo
Smiley reports, however, that when he left, on. the eit,Pl
20th June, appearances were more alarming. It
reported that. a large- body of temps, from 1,800 to
2,200 were within fifty miles of Rio. The Gcverne
meet has sent a
.force against them, and some skir- ee;;-0
mishing had taken place. Several persons supposed
to he favourable to the rebels had been arrested. A . g;0111,
great number of houses, suspected persons had been
searched, and all the arms found taken possession of
by the Government. The cause of the revolt is sup-•
posed to be the dislike the people have for the Primes .Jo
Minister.
HAVANNAIL—The British steamer Teviot, lying" in
Ilavannah, took fire on the 14th inst., from spontaneous
combustion of the coal in her lower hold. The money
and ammunition were got out. The steamer was there ,
filled with water from engines. The precise damage.
to the Teviot was not ascertained, but it is suPP°4e
to he considerable. The Teviot was recently from
Vera Cruz.

DUT-GH-AND FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, AUGUST 11.-If. we may believe &
Journal of Bruges the-Belgian pigeons are threatened
by the Directors of the French Post-Office. Regular
communications :between, .Paris, London, Brussels,. .
. Antwerp, Ghent,, Bruges, and other cities, by means .••
of pigeons, are now established, and some of these
aerial couriers are daily dispatched in different direc-
tions after the closing of the Exchange. We rya
assured that the French Post-office authorities intend..
to prosecute these pigeons as the bearers of letters
contrary to the law of 27 Prairial, year IX., which
gives to the Post-office the monopdly of the convey-
ance of letters weighing less than one kilogramme
(2 lbs.)
The Chevalier de Noronha, Portuguese Charge- c 0
d'Affaires in Belgium, has returned to Brussels from
Lisbon, after an absence of several months.
The most audacious robberies are committed in the
country. A few days since some malefactors
threshed cole-seed, rye, and wheat, in the open fields
in several communes, of the district of Turnhout-
The quantit: es carried off were considerable. The ;4,
villages are in despair at seeing their harvest carried
off, and are in great fear for the buck NA heat, the oats, „.)
the potatoes, &c. which are still to be got in, unless the -
authorities watch the malefactors. '
BRUSSELS, AUG. 12.—We have just learnt that,
Colonel de Puy& has arrived at Brussels, with they
