HANOVER, MARCH 10.

The second Number of the Journals of the As-
sembly of the States, which is published officially, con-
tains the following passage :
•4 It was resolved, in the First Chamber, to reply
as follows to the liescript of the Ministry, respecting
the new Military Law The States observe with
*egret, that the Ministry, by omitting the words,
with their approbation, design to dispute their right,
founded on the Constitution, namely, that their ap-
probation is necessary to all new laws, affecting the
country in general. This principle is the grand
foundation of the dignity and the utility of the States.
In the present case, the assertion of the Ministry
was the more unexpected to the States, because the
law in question pronounces a new and general per.
sonal obligation of the subjects; and therefore, as it
affects not only the property but the person of the
subject, requires the sanction of the States in a much
higher degree than any law relative to a tax. The
States therefore feel themselves bound to urge the
Ministry to retract an assertion so prejudicial to their
constitutional rights, and to express their reliance on
the just and paternal sentiments of his Majesty, that
in future no new general law of the kingdom will be
promulgated without their express consent.'"

WASHINGTON, FEBRUARY 12.

We have received, from an authentic source, an
official copy of the Edict of the Emperor of Russia,
establishing boundaries for Navigation along the
coast of the Aleutian L lands.

ABSTitACT.

Sect. 1. The pursuits of commerce, whaling, and fishery, and
of all other industry, en all the islands, ports, and gulfs, including
the whole of the North-west coast of America, beginning f; am
Behring's Straits to the 51st degree of Norsh lat. also from the
Aleutian Islands to the Eastern coast or Siberia, as well at along
the EUrile Islands from Behring's Straits to the South Cape cf
the Island of Mop, viz. to the 45th degree, 50 min. Northern
lac. Is exclusively granted to Russian subjects.
2. It Is therefore prohibited to all foreign vessels not only to
land on the Coast and Islands belonging to Russia, as anted
above, but also to approach them wiihin less than a hundred
Italian miles.

One regulation, interesting to traders, but not con-
tained in the above Edict, has come to our know-
ledge, that the Edict is to take effect, as to vessel;
of the United States which leave the ports of the
United States, after the Ist day of July next, and as to
vessels which leave the ports of Europe after the first
day of next month.
By documents transmitted by the President to Con-
gress, it appears that the American and British Coin-
missioners, appointed under the sth Article of the
Treaty of Ghent to ascertain the boundary line, having,
in October last, differed on the principal points, ad-
journed to meet on the first Monday of April next.
The documents and reports are very voluminous,
and they will not be ready to be forwarded to the
Government by the Commissioners till March.
