Great excitement had been caused on the frontier by the
arrest of an American citizen, named Daniel Savp-
British officer. The arrest took place on
the plantation plantation of Hancock, on the south side of the St. John
River, and within the limits of Maine, as defined by the late
out
trerty. The citizens, assisted by Captain ebster, com-
manding the United States troops at Fort Kent

The correspondegnce between Mr. Webster and General

revenues are set aside for the purpose. the United States do

. The Columbia has brought a
therevaiety of statements highly
Interesting and important to tton trade. Several of
the statements are subjoined for the information of our com-
mercial readers. All the accounts concur in estimating the
crop of cotton, last year, at not less than 2,200,000 bales,
while the majority set it down as high as 2,3.50,000 : the
largest crop, by 180,000 bales, ever raised in the United
States. '
The amount of the crop of 1842 having been pretty accu-
rately ascertained, attention bad begun to be
drawnsevera to the
prospects of the crop of 1843. The weather,
in l im-
portant cotton districts, had, up to the latter end of March,
been

very unpropitious for putting in the seed. A letter
Macon, March 20th, says, Last year, at this time,
our planters were weeding out their cotton. Thus far, this
threeyear d

ofPie past winter, and this morning we found ourselves wi
quite a snow on the ground." Froca Savannah
letters speak in the same unfavourable terms of the weather
One letter which_ we have seen, and which is dated on the
24th ult., says, We have not, though near the close of the
month, any prospect of enjoying its proverbial dust." The
