upon the public the notoriously, deleterious German Silver
under the guises of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," &c,
&e., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an
eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our ;material
so that acids do not sheet it ; it is now so well known and
appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its
uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver,
can only be had at our warehouses. It is the same through-
out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles
that are in silver, from which it can only be told by reference
to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's

CEMENT-MOST IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE

INVENTION.

Ma ARCHITECTS, Engineers, Contractors,
Bui'ders, Masons, Plasterers, and the Trade, sod also
to Nhippers. THE PA TENT STUCCO PAINT CEMENT,
surpassing every article hitherto introduced, possesses the fol-
lowing extraordinary and valuable properties. Remarkable
adhesiveness, fixing most tenaciously to the smoothest surfaces
(even to gl,ss). It is perfectly impervious to wet or damp.
The more it is exposed to the atmosphere, the harder and more
durable it becomes. It is perfectly free from any of the caustic
qualilies of lime, and it may therefore be painted upon as soon
as dry, as it is impossible that it can vegetate or change colour,
nor can it be affected by frost or heat, or crack chip, or
peel off. To 'Merchants and Shippers, it must form a most
important item of commerce, as It will keep for any. length of
time, as fresh as delivered from the manufactory; with regard
to price, it is cheaper than any other Cement, and its lasting
qualities, render it a fortune to builders and others investing
capital in building speculations.

AMERICAN NEWS

ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA.
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY EVENING.
The steam-ship, Caledonia, Captain Lott, arrived here
fr,ini Halifax, at noon to-day, having made the run from
pilot to pilot, in ten days, bringing fifty-seven passengers.
The news by this arrival, extends over a fortnight,
but it is more than usually barren of interest. Mr.
Webster had addressed a communication to the Go-
vernors of Maine and MasSachusetts, relative to the
mission of Lord Ashburton, for the settlement of the
boundary question. Ile urges the necessity of having
that oft mooted question brought to a close durint the
present sitting of Congress. The Governor of Maine
had, accordingly, issued a proclamation, convening that
state legislature for the 18th inst. It is gratifying to
observe the altered and more friendly tone of the Ame-
rican papers on this and other subjects at issue with
this country. The missipn of Lord Ashburton has
evidently flattered the pride of the Americans, and may
be regarded as having poured oil on the troubled waters.
Nothing decisive has taken place between the Mexi-
cans and Texians, but both were preparing fir a furious
encounter. Santa Anna, if the New fork papers are to
be credited, had been raising the sinews of war with a
vengeance, having obtained a loan of no less than three
millions sterling in London, guaranteed by the British
Government, the condition. being that British manufile-
tured goods should be admitted into the Mexican ports
at a Merely nominal duty. If this heavy loan had ex-
isted any where but in the imagination of the American
editors, Santa Anna's chance of successfully opposing
the Texians would have been materially strengthened.
Mr. Dickens (Bok) and his lady had taken their pas
sage for Liverpool in the packet-ship, George Washing-
ton, which would sail on the 14th of June.
• Nothing of consequence had occurred within the walls
of Congress, but duels were on the tapis outside. Two
reports had been presented relative to the tariffs—one
from the Secretary of the Treasury, the other from. the
minority of the Committee of manufacturers.

The Exchange on England was 1.081 to 108:41. Money
plenty, but from bills offering on England.

NETTER FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE TO
THE GOVERNORS OF MASSACHUSETTS AND
MAINE.

Department of State, Washington, April 11.
TO OIS EXCELLENCYJOHN FAIRFIELD, GOVERNOR OF MAINE.
Your Excellency is aware that previous to March, 1841, a
negotiation had been going on for some time between the
Secretary of State of the United States, under the direction of
the President, and the British Minister accredited to this Go-

vernment, having for its object the creation of a joint commis
sin for settling the controversy respecting the north-eastern
boundary of the United States, with a provision for an ultimate
reference for arbitrators, to be appointed by some of the Sove-
reigns of Europe, in ease an arbitration should' become neces-
sary. On the leading features of a Convention for this purpose
the two Governments were agreed, but on several matters of
detail the parties differed, and appear to have been interchang-
ing their respective views and opinions, projects and counter.
projects, without coming to a final a, rangement, down to Aug.
1840. Various causes, not now necessary to be explained, ar-
rested the progress of the negotiation at that time, and no
con4derab:e advance has been since made in it.
It seems to have been understood, on both sides, that one
arbitration having failed, it was the duty of the two parties
to prom e t to institute another, according to the spirit of the,
treaty of Ghent, and other treaties; and the President has felt
it to be his duty, unless some new course should be proposed,
'o cause the negotiation to be resumed, and pressed to is con •
elusion. But I have now to inform your Excellency that Lora
Ashburton, a Minister Plenipotentiary Special, has arrived at
the seat of Government of the United States, charged with full
powers from the Sovereign to negotiate and settle the different
(natters to discussion between the two Governments. I have
further to state to you, that he has officially announced to this
department that in regard to the boundary question, he hes
authority to treat for a conventional line, or line by agreement,
on such terms and conditions, and with such mutual considera-

Lions and equivalents, as may be thought just and equitable;
and that he is ready to enter upon a negotiation for such con-
ventional line so soon as this Government shall say that is is
authorised and ready, on its part, to commence such negotiation.
Under these circumstances, the President has felt it to be
his duty to call the serious attention of the Governments ot
Maine and Massachusetts to the subject, and to submit to
those Governments the propriety of their co-operation, to a
certain extent and in a certain form, in an endeavour to ter-
minate a controversy already of so long duration, and which
seems very likely to be still considerably further protracted
before the desired end of a final adjustment shall be attained,
unless a shorter course of arriving at that end be adopted, than
such as has heretofore been pursued, and as the two Govern-
ments are still pursuing.
Yet, without the concurrence of the two States whose rights
are more immediately concerned, both having an interest in
the sod, and one of them in the jurisdiction and government,
the duty of this Government will be to adopt no new course,
but, in ccmpliiince with treaty stipulations, and in furtherance
of what has already been done, to hasten the pending negotia-
tions as fast. as possible.
But the President thinks it a highly-desirable object to pre-
vent the delays necessarily incident to any settlement of the
question •by these means. Such delays are great and unavoid-
able. It has been found that an exploration and examination
of the several lines constitute a work of three years. The
existing commission for making such exploration, under the
authority of the United States, has been occupying two sum-
mers, and a very considerable portion of the work still remains
to be done. If a joint commission should-be appointed, and
should go through the same work, and the Commissioners
should disagree—as is very possible—and an arbitration on that
account become indispensable, the arbitrators might find it
necessary to make an exploration, and survey themselves, or
cause the same to be done by others, of their own appoint-
ment. If to these causes, operating to postpone the final de-
cision, be added the time necessary to appoint arbitrators, and
and for their preparation to leave Europe for the service, and
the various retarding incidents always attending such opera-
tions, seven or eight years constitute, perhaps, the shortest pe-
riod within which vse can look for a final result. In the
meantime, great expenFes have been incurred, and further ex
penses cannot be avoided. It is well known that the contro-
versy has brought heavy charges upon Maine herself, to the
remuneration or proper settlement of which she cannot be ex-
pected to be indifferent.

The exploration by the Government of the United States
has already cost 100,000 dollars, and the charge of another
summer's work is in progress. These facts may be sufficient
to form a probable estimate of the whole expense likely to be
incurred before the controversy can be settled by arbitrat:on,
and our experience admonishes us that even another arbitra-
tion might pOssibly fail.
The opinion of this Government upon the justice and va-
lidity of the American claim has been expressed, at so many
times, and in so many forms, that a repetition of that opinion
is not necessary. But the subject is a subject in dispute. The
Government has agreed to make it matter of reference and
arbitration, and it must fulfil that agreement, unless another
mode for settling the controversy should be resorted to with
the hope of producing a speedier decision. The President pro-
posed, then, that the Governments of Maine and Massachusetts
should severally appoint a Commissioner or Commissioners,
empowered to confer with the authorities of this Government
upon a conventional line, or line by agreement, with its terms,
condition., considerations, and equivalents, with an under-
standing that no such line will be agreed upon, without the
assent of such Commissioners. This mode of proceeding, or
some other which shall express assent beforehand, seems in-
dispensable. if any negotiation for a conventional line is to be
had, since, if happily a Treaty should be the result of the ne-
gotiation, it can only be submitted to the Senate of the United
States for ratification.

It is a subject of deep and sincere regret to the President flat
the British Plenipotentiary did sot arrive in the country, and
make known his pOwers in time to have made this communica-
tint, before the annual session of the Legislatures of the two
States had ,been brought to a close. He perceives and laments
the inconvenience which may be experienced from re-assemb-
ling those Legislatures; but the •British mission is a special
one ; it does not supersede the resident mission of the British
Government at Washington, and its stay in the United States is
not expected to by long. In addition to these considerations, it
is to be suggested that more than four months of the session of
Congress have already passed, and it is highly desirable, if any
treaty for a conventional tine should be agreed on, it should be
concluded before the session shall terminate ; not only because
of the necessity of the ratification of the Senate, but also be-
cause it is not impossible that measures may be thought ad-
visable, or become important, which can only be accomplished
by the authority of both Houses.
These considerations, in addition to the importance of the
subject, and a firm conviction in the mind of the President that
the interests of both countries, as well as the interests of the
two states more immediately concerned, require a prompt effort
to bring this dispute to an end, constrain him to express an
earnest hope tl.at your Excellency will convene the Legislature
f Maine, and submit the subject to its grave and candid de-
to,eration. I am, with great respect, your Excellency's
ervant, _
