NORTHERN BOUNDARY LINE.

We copy the following paragraph from
The Montreal Herald, Of November 2lst.
If il be true, as there stated, that "Rouse's
Point" is on the British side of the line OF
latitude as, we extremely regret it.-Not,
however, on account Of the territory we
shall lose, which is unimportant, or The ex-
pense laid out on tbe Notifications at the
point-but as it places in the hands of the
British the key TO all the intercourse and
communication between Canada and the
United States, on the waters Of lake Cham
plain and in case of war, secures TO them
an uninterrupted entrance into tina, lake.
The following is the paragraph.
ALBANY Gazette.
I" we have just now been favored with
accounts from lake Champlain, by which il
appears that the great fort built on Rouse's
point by the Americans since the peace,
and completed last summer, Is on The Cana.
dd side Of lfne As, as laid down by the COM
missioners appointed for that purpose. In
this case the fort is built on British terrific
ry, and little doubt can be entertained to
whom il belongs"
