the answer of the President to the letter of Mr. Fox.
The British Minister, on behalf of the Colonial Go-
vernment of New Brunswick, denies many of the ru-
moured allegations touching the occupancy of the
disputed territory by the British. He reduces the
number of the British troops, said to be at Lake Temis-
couata, from four regiments or four companies, to
two companies. He denies that any extensive for-
tifications have been made, or that any barracks
have been erected, within the limits of the dis-
puted territory. Everything of that description had
been done only within the limits of a territory
indisputably belonging to Great Britain. While
Mr. Fox asserts that no infraction of strict neu-
trality has taken place, he, at the same time, distinctly
intimates that the future actions of the Colonial autho-
rities will depend upon circumstances. Mr. Fox very
justly complains that the language of the Governor of
Maine, in his letter to the President, was extremely
violent, and recommended action, contrary to the letter
and spirit of the agreement entered into in the month
of March last. He recommends, in conclusion, that
the whole question should lie left with the negociating
powers of the two Governments, and not to any minor
power. Thus left, he believes that the whole question
would, at no distant day, be amicably adjusted.
The President, in his reply, states that he is
glad to be officially informed that rumour had
told more than truth in regard to the extent of the
pos'session of the territory of Maine by the British.
He expresses his regret, however, that the Colonial
authorities intended to act as circumstances might dic-
tate. He says that he believes that when the autho-
rities in England hear of this determination, they will
not only discountenance it, but demand the withdrawal
of the troops on the disputed territory, though there
may be only two companies stationed there. He con-
cludes by expressing his anxious wish that the amica-
ble relations now existing between the United States
and Great Britain may he strictly preserved.

SPAIN.

Bayonne letters speak much of the political ferment which
exists in the Basque provinces relative to the non-election of
deputies to the tortes. Biscay has taken the lead, and refuses
distinctly to return either senators or deputies. The juntas
of Navarre, Alava, and Guipuscoa have been called together
on the same subject, and it is generally expected that they
will follow:the same example as Biscay. The Government of
Madrid has sent down peremptory orders to all the provinces
to proceed to the elections under pain of the royal displea-
sure, but the provinces contend that their ✓`iueros which have
been confirmed to them without reserve, do not recognise
the Cortes of Madrid. The result promises to be very seri-
ous.

The following telegraphic despatch appeared in the illoni-
eur

'THE SUB-PREFECT OF BAYONNE TO THE MINISTER OF

THE INTERIOR.

" Bayonne. Feb. 20, 1840.
" On the 18th, the Queen Regent, in person, opened the
Chambers ; Queen Isabella was present at the ceremony,
which terminated well.

" Madrid is perfectly tranquil."

" Madrid, Feb. 18.
THE AIM kSSADOR OF FRANCE TO THE MINISTER OF

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

" The Queen Regent, accompanied by Queen Isabella,
opened the session of the Cortes to-day. Their Majesties,
on entering the assembly, were received with the greatest en-
thusiasm, and on their passage the populace testified similar
feelings. The speech from the throne has given genuine ap-
probation. The aspect of Madrid is satisfactory in every re-
spect.

inconsistency, cowardice, and dishonesty, of his col-
leagues be visited with an impost of 100 per cent.; let
the slander of the court, and the painted perfidy, of
the " household" contribute; and let him no longer
tax the patience of the people by expecting them to
listen to frothy sentiments which end in nothing, or to
hope for permanent good from a ministry which, in its
" downward" course, has betrayed the best interests of
the people, and confounded them in the difficulties they
have of late too bitterly witnessed. The nation is
looking for relief, but what is the language of the

being shortened about 100 feet. It is said at least 25,000
cubic yards irr.the solid state, have fallen. It extends not
less than one-sixth of a mile into the sea, and being about
ten feet above high water mark, forms an excellent break-
water for the Dover harbour. Some believe it will be of the
greatest service to the harbour in preventing that accumula-
tion of shingle at the mouth which causes the bar.

NEWCASTLE AND NORTH SHIELDS RAILIVAY.-At the
annual meeting of the proprietors of this company, held at
Newcastle on Tuesday week, a highly satisfactory report was
read from the directors. The number of passengers from
the opening, of the railway to the 31st of December (little
more than half a year) had greatly exceeded the parliamen-
tary estimate, amounting altogether to 350,000, and yielding a
revenue of .1.30,500. The increase in the traffic had been so
steady, notwithstanding the state of the weather, that the di-
rectors felt justified in anticipating that the number of pas-
sengers in 1840 would amount to nearly one million. This
traffic would yield a most remunerating rate of interest to the
proprietors. The traffic in goods had also been consider-
able, and had, proved a great convenience to the public.—
Midland Counties Herald.

LONDON AND SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY.—FFOID the
extraordinary exertions made by the contractors for that por-
tion of our railway between Winchester and Basingstoke,
there can be no doubt the Directors will be enabled to re-
deem the pledge they gave at the last half yearly meeting,
that the line should be opened throughout in the spring of
the present year. The facilities afforded, by the expeditious
travelling on the railway, to visitors to the Isle of Wight,
will cause an increase in the number of those who yearly seek
the enjoyment of the delightful scenery and the pure air of
this garden of England. To meet this increase of traffic, a
company is about to be formed, to establish a line of iron
steam boats, of forty horse power each, and with better ac-
commodation to passengers than that afforded by the vessels
now employed on the station.--Hampshire Independent.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FEB. 22.

The arrivals of both British and Foreign Grain, Flour and Oat-
meal at this port, during the past week, have been very small,
owing, no doubt, in some degree to the prevalence of easterly
winds. The advance of Id to 2d per bushel realied on Fuesday
last for the better qualities of Baltic red Wheat has been followed
by a limited demand generally, the millers still confining their pur-
chases to what their immediate wants might require ; the smallness
of our stock, however, has kept holders extremely firm, and the
prices then quoted have been fully maintained. American free
Flour has sold at 43s to 44s per barrel : there is now little offering
under the latter price. The extreme scarcity of choice mealing
Oats has enhanced their value by id to Id per bushel, but the
general run have continued to be offered at 3s Sd to 3s lOd per 4516.
Oatmeal has moved only in retail at 33s fkl to 34s 6d per 2401b5.
Malting Barley, of which the market is bare, would command
rather above our quotations, and the remark is applicable also to
choice qualities of Malt, which is equally scarce. Several parcels
of foreign Beans were sold to-day at Manchester: French at 41s to
42$ per 4801b5. and Baltic pigeon at 45s to 41is per imperial quarter.
Peas have met a retail demand at previous rates. About 2000 Wis.
of American Flour have been bought, to arrive, at 30s per barrel
in bond ;
.30s lid to 30s pd have been paid for small quanties out of
warehouse for exportation.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 21.

The demand from consumers continues very good, and they have
bought largely in American descriptions, at last week's prices ;
there has also been a considerable iniquiry from Exporters, who
have taken 2200 American and 400 Btngal ; Brazil and Egyptian
remain very dull, and sales of the latter made at id per lb decline ;
in East India there is no alteration. 600 Sea Islands were offered
by public auction this morning, ef which 300 were sold, at Id to 2d
per lb decline on the previous nominal quotations. 4700 American
were taken by Speculators.

kindled. The swans are dazzled and apparently stupified by
