AUGUSTA, (.Hdine,) July 2S.-Gencral Weber,
who was appointed by the Marshal of this State to

compelled desst from the performance of his duty in
that portion of our territory 10 which the British have
set their Ubiquitous claim. The authorities of New
Brunswick have extended their jurisdiction over this
territory and we are informed that Proclamation
published orbdding the inhabitants TO give in their

he proceeded further in carrying into effect of the
laws of the United States He has returned to Law the

usual promptude acquant the Secretary of State with
his h-handed measure of the Coonss, and act under
his instructions
There is every indication that the British have deter
mined TO hold this territory by force il the decision OF
the Umpire is against them. Great activity prevails.
The citizens are called upon to bear arms, roads are
making in all directions and those preparations going

THE FEDERAL CONVENTION.
The recent movements of the opposition and the hints
thrown out by several of their leading papers indicate
that Horny Clay is to be nominated for the Prcsdcn
cy at the Federal Convention in this town on Fri
day next We hope this is the nothing could be
more fortunate for the Republican party in Maine than
the nomination of MIR. Clay by this convention. 1t
would seal the fate of the Federal Combination in this
state beyond the power of man TO redeem them. They
have hitherto kept together by calling themselves the
Adams party, and thus induce many who had personal
power and Office in this State. But they will here a.
