PROSPECT OF sETT ,l1|I;NT or THE BOUNDARY
We have heard today in quarters where information
on such matters especially may be fully relied upon, that
the question Of boundary between lie possessions OF
Great Britain in North America and the United States,
is on the eve Of being formally adjusted, and IN man.
ner it is sad which will give satisfaction to the pub
lie on both sides, and be in accordance with the views
Of the two governments.
II is in fact stated that communications Tor some time
pas, have been going between Mr.. Stevenson, the
American Minister, and our Government upon this point
and that il has been determined appoint commission
to decide upon The question: the government at the same
time recommending mutually for their adoption that The
river st. John should form The separating line between
the two countries whereby that portion OF the province
of Maine which the Americans have always claimed
will be coded u.s. and equivalent, the coast and
territory lying between the rivers ST Crox and ST
John equal in size 10 what is given up on the other
side will be made over 10 America
By this means Maine will possess almost an entire wa.
ter boundary and the country bstween Nova Scotia and
Canada will be laid open TO u.s. point in itself OF The
very utmost importance, especially at The prcsen
moment and there can be lille doubt that the railway
which has often been proposed from Halifax to Quebec
but as often put u in consequence OF the stale oil the
boundary question: will be carried into effect by
which means il is needless to say most important and
favorable change will be effected in Canadian trade
This in Ministerial paper is important, as tits proba
bly, authentic. The proposition, II the free navigation
# the ST. John is included, is very fair one

Feeling Of The London populaee torurds Prince Louis
