The Ametican Government have very properly
published a statement relative to the proceedings of
the Board of Commissioners charged with the settle-
ment of the boundary line; the (reject of which is to
count, tact any mischievous effects on public opinion
which might result from the flippancy it some of the
democratic Journals. • It is positively stated, that. no
misunderstanding whatever exists between the Com-
missioners of the two nations ; that no claims have
yet been asserted on either side ; but that the preli-
minary survey is its regress, with every hope of a
smooth and amicable adjustment of the matter in hand.
A letter from New York, dated July 2, says—
For these many years we have not known so fine a
season : from all parts of this, and Essex county,
there is abundant crops of wheat, rye, oats, &c. It
is computed that the quantity of wheat and rye, now
on the g'ouad, is two or three times greater than it
was ever known."

'3s a proof of the forward state of Abe present
Harvest, samples of new Wheat were yesterday
offered for sale in Atuk-lane : it looked remarkably

were cut down this week in the neighbourhood of

•• The Court having maturely weighed and cami-

•• With regard to the Second Charge, the Court
are of opinion, that Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel Grant

Court are of opinion. that Lieutenant-Colonel Grant
did. most indiscreetly, make allegations prejudicial
to the character of Mr. O'Meara, which have not
been proved to the full extent, and which were con-
seqiiently unjustifiable, although the Court are of
opinion, that Lieutenant-Colonel Grant did enter-
tain this impression on his own mind, grounded upon
reports to that efrect, and did not publish or propagate:
tl►e same, knowing or believing them to be falser."
