n. L BoUHpARy.-lhe Boston Adver-
tiser G. Patriot makes the following COM
ncnt upon the recent address Of the mem
bcrs of the Legislature of New Brunswick
to the Queen, and The Bills passed referring
to this subject
e''I'hese proceedings avow the purpose
Of taking immediate possession, and exer-
cising lights Of ownership of the disputed
territory North ofthe st John---a purpose
which has been hitherto d;sarowed by the
Colonial Governors, and also by the dlplo-
matte agents OF Great Britain. The undls-
turbed possession Of this territory, and the
uninterrupted use Of the line Of communion
ton through il, which is now to be improved
at the expense of the Province Of New
Brunswick, is secured to that province, Tor
the present, by the arrangement entered
into between Gen Scott and Sir John Har-
vey, in which Governor Fairfield has ex-
pressed CHS entire acquescence. In
the document referred to, il is declared
that it is not the intention of the Governor
of Maine, without renewed instructions
from the Legislature oftaa State, to at
tempt to disturb by grlns, the said provin-
ces in the possession Of the Makawaska
settlements. or to attempt TO interrupt the
usual communications between that prov
ince and her Aiaiesty's Upper Provinces. "
The Legislature Of Maine, ofconrse, can
rive no renewed Instructions until they
meet again.

PoaTEAHp Pubic SCHOOLS Report
Of The .Sciooi Committee for l338-9,-A
pamphlet of Is pages has lust issued from
the press, giving full view oftho Public
Schools in this city, with such remarks
upon the features of each as the Committee
JUDGED worthy of notice.
There are eight Primary schools, en-
Tracing children ofboth sexes---two Gram-
mar schools for boys, and two for Girls--a
High School for heys. also Colored
school, and an Infant school, besides two
small schools upon the Islands
The Monitoral system is generally in
operation, aud in most OF the schools the
teacher has one assistant. Grammar school
No. 2, for girls, has four assistants.
Class rooms are connected with all tie
primary schools, except one, in which Inc
assistants instruct. The Committee do
not thini; the Monitorial SYSTEM the best
mode Of learning, but advise it's contnu-
ance for the present, from the want of ap-
propriations sufficiently liberal to support
the requisite number teachers on another
system.
The Report exhibits evidence that the
Committee have iDdustriously pursued their
labors, and with very happy success. The
Public school system in Portland, is quite
in advance of the system generally pfeva-
lent in the State---as we Judge from per-
sonal examination Of Il part OF the schools,
as we'll as from the Report. A very dec;-
ded stand is taken by the Committee, in
support Of the teachers authority. An
instance Of interference on the part Of some
parents in one school, is very decidedly
rabukod in the Report, as we'll as in the
course pursued by the Committee to sup
press the Interference at the time of lis oc
eurrence.
The increase of general confidence in
the public schools is spoken Of with salts
faction, without designing to dIsparage
preyate schools, and the Report gives evil
deuco that this confidence is deserved,
The SUBJECT of Introducing music into
The schools is distinctly considered in
lacil report Of committee appointed by
the Board; the principal objections noticed,
and The production Of music recommcn-
ded by several considerations which must
have weight in the community. The eS-
pertinent has been in successful operation
Tor some timo in Boston, and will doubt
less become general at no distant period.

Letter FROM MEXICO.

Sips from New Orlt ans received by ex-
press mail bring the following additional
particulars in relation to the late negotia-
ton between Admiral Baudin and the
Mexican plenipotentalies.
The right OF trading bv retail, formerly
refused with SO much obs.inacy by the
hFxicans, is granted 10 French subjects
by the treaty. The sum Of 100000 is to
he paid TO the French government as COM
pensaiion Of old injpries, besides the in
demnitg to French subjects who have been
driven from the country. These payments
are guaranteed by tie English minister.
beiofe entering upon any negotiation,
Admiral Baudin demanded full reputation
for the Insult put upon him by Santa Ana
and afterwards by President Bustamente.
in their relation of The skirtnish at Vera
Cruz, in which the admiral was accused of
having violated Suspension OF arms, This
reparailon was made in the most satisfac-
tory manner. Having thus obtained re-
parafion for injuries inflicted upon himself
and his fellow subjects, the admiral thought
himself authorized to be generous in what
interested his government gave up
the demand for reimbursement of the war
expenses, on being advised by the plenipo-
tcnilares of the deplorable condition ofthe
Mexican finances, and being assured that
it was with difficulty the indemnities siii
pulated in the treaty could be paid. And
finally to save the feelings of national hon-
or from being too severely wounded, waved
his privilege Of signing the treaty on board
Of his ship, and consented 10 perform that
ceremony on shore.

A HINT-The French Ministry pay
one paper, the Journa! des Debats, so, 600
a week for advocating their cause, and
another paper, La Presse. half that sum,
besides taking ten thousand copies of the
paper for gratutous circulation. This
shows tha portion of the press IN France
may be bought at a good round price. It
shows more. The leading articles in such
papers are nothing more than administra-
ton advertisements, which the government,
10 further its own views, increase its
strength, and sustain its position, thus dis
seminaies. The value Of advertising is
thoroughly understood by the French, as
is cxan,pled in the immense sums paid for
advertising. The example, should not be
tsr,.s.=.s- ap-et,ot, merchants and
! traders. BY great numbers the advantage
OF advertising in widely circulated jour-
nal is not understood. There are many.
who looking at the amount of adseriisingy
perhaps some hundred dollars or so wear
in n paper, exclaim, sOh shall be ruin
edF' and discontinue forthwith. They do
rot look at the advantages arising from
advertisements. Because they do not see
1t directly, they do not believe it. If every
customer who trades with them in consequ-
ence OF the advertisement scere to say SO,
which not one in thousand does, they
would not pursue such a "penny wise, and
pound foolish system" We once knew
publisher who employed collector TO get
subscribers for a new work. The collec-
tor was a smart man, and in short time
earned by his commission $500. The
publisher was aghast, he should be ruined
by paying such sums for commission.
