respectfully solicit donations from such Of

Boston, Jan. IL.
Gov. Paris was indicted to office at
Portland on Friday last and on Saturday
he sent message to the legislature. He
complains of the opinion OF the British
Commissioner relative to the North East
tern Boundary approves of the Maryland
Resolutions respecting the public lands
and appears to be in favor Of the establish
ment in Maine of state prison on the
principles of solitary confinement.
Ertruct from the Message Of Cor. Paris
TO the Legislature Of Name.
ut gives me anxiety to be obliged to
inform you, that in consequence OF the
disagreement OF the American aud Bril-
fish Commissioners under the treaty OF
Client, in relation to the true boundary
between the u S. aud British Provinces.
the final division of the lands, owned in
common by this and the parent State, will
necessari be delayed 10 period un-
certain. though it is 10 be hoped not dis.
tant, In addition to this, it is understood
that the claims OF the British Commission
ers cover tract OF country heretofore
coniessedly belonging to this State, ano
over which it has exercised jurisdiction.
Although we have no reason to apprehend
that there will be any thing like acques
ence in this claim, but Oh the contrary
that it will be resisted throughout as it
has been at the threshold, yet submit to
the Legislature, whether it may not be
well to request the particular attention OF
our Senators and Representatives at WASH
ington to this subject, SO far, at least, as
n Al + -
ment fr our informations view this as
the more important, inasmuch as neither
the Commissioner nor agent on the part
of the u. S. belongs to this State, and the
subject in controversy is OF consequence
to US, both as respects jurisdiction and
property"

were well dressed, and genteel looking
men. Two of them were recognized as
old offenders, and former tenants OF our
state prison and penetenliary. The other

among the officers or magistrates who

notorious villain, considered TO be the

an account of the apprehension OF two

counterfeit money, and that, on search. a

We learn from the l. ouisville Ky. Ad-
vertiser of the 9Th Dec. that the ice, on
the preceding Monday, had commenced
running in the Chic river, with a gentle
rise, which continued until the following
Thursday, when it had risen about ten
feet. The same paper adds
"The immense quantity Of ice which
has broken up above has carried every
thing betore It. Many loaded fiat boats,
rats. &c. sc, have passed the tails, de-
serted OF their crews, and in wrecked
condition. The loss of property from
this unexpected rise will be great, and Sc
verely felt by the people of the states OF
Kentucky and Ohio. as much produce was
on the river destined Tor the New Orleans
market.

We have Information that the Ken
lucky river has had an immediate rise Of
about Is feet, which has swept il clear of
boats and craft.
How to account for SO rapid rise at
this season, considering the uncommon Sc
verify of the weather here, leaves US at a
loss to determine from what tributary
streams these waters Aow.
Two or three days ago communication
was received by our police, from Pbiladel-
phia, giving advice that some recent viii
lanies had been committed there by three
notorious rogues, who had lately returned
from plundering excursion to the west

gone on to New York. Their names, as
nearly as they could be ascertained, and
descriptions OF their persons were given in

from.
The SpeakerIexplained at some length
the reasons for laying down the ruls, as
he had done, referring to Parliamentary
and Congressional history to sustain his
positioh-and summed up his reasons in
the general remark that any amend
ment which would have the effect to
make the friends Of proposition its
foes, must be in its nature intrinsically a
substitute.
Mr.. Baldwin spoke short time in
opposition to the decision of the Chair,
and Mr. Randolph offered some argu-

The question was put on the appeal,
and the decision of the Speaker was at

relation to gratuitous grants to the new
states, to which he could not yield his
