The expedition having driven or all the ties
passers, had returned TO the mouth of the St
Croix. Near Beaver brook they found crew
of thirteen trespass.rs who fired upon them and
fled. Mr.. Strckland's horse was wounded. but
not dangerously. The uespassers were pur.
sued and five of them taken and six horses
which are expected here day after tomorrow.
Mr.. Strickland says further, that the arms
which the men have at the Tobique settlement
belong TO the Government of New brunswick
and that a n'lhtory force 'oas on the march from
Fredericton.
A large amount Of timber was found cut on
the Aroostook river, and the trespasscrs who
have been driven off, and are now in arms at
the mouth of the river, declare their intention
of returning rs soon as our force is withdrawn

The disposition Of it struck US as being de-
cidedly superior 10 tho Great Western
The engine room Of the Veloce, however
d"es not appear to be so fully protected a.
galnst accident by fire ms the Western
The cabins and apartments Of the officers
are commodlous, the sta,e-rooms quite spa.
cious, and all the details are provided which
are necessary for the comfort Of their gem
tlemsnly occupants.
We have already stated that the Veloce
was iron rugged. This PECULIARLY is car
ried out TO an extent whick is both novel
and striking, and we'll merits the attention
of the curious. The various fixtures-the
cog-wheels and windlasses by which the
rigging is worked-mcet the eye in every
par, Of the hulwarks which enclose her spa
cious deck, and show that The system has
been fully carried out in all its details.
One of the most striking features of this
vessel is the arrangement by which her
lofty masts are brought down to the deck,
aud the immense yards folded up, so that
when occasion requires it, her steam power
may be used to The best advantage. And
So, on the other hand, her steam machin-
cry may he entirely dispensed with, and she
may be converted into sailing vessel ,
with heavy spread ofcanvsss n: command
These latter arrangements, we understand,
are the results of the ingenuity and science
OF her commander, Captain Bechameil.
Among the visitors who were on hoard
yesterday simultaneously with ourselves,
we saw the Hon. j. p. Kennedy, Commo-
French Consul Of Philadelphia, Mr.. Her
ssnt, came Oh board at noon, and was hon
ored by a salute.
We omitted yesterday to state that on
Saturday at 3 O'Clock. p. NJ. the Neloce
fired a salute of twenty one guns to the
City; which WAS duly responded TO by
an equal number of guns from the Fort
and ,hatthe TricOlor and Stars and Stripes
mutually exchanged civilities.

LATER FROM MARTINraUE.-The Charles

fourth of Fort Royal had been searched,
and 522 dead bodies bad been found !!
The Hospital at Fort Royal was deIuged
and nj the sick persisted. In St. Pierre on.
Iy four persons perished, but every house
mus, be rebuilt, or entirely repaired. St.
Lucy bu, slightly felt the earthquake.
According to other letters and reports, of
different persons arrived u, Point Petre,
from Martinique, on the 18th ard l4th nt
it would appear that all the wooden houses
had escaped the disaster Nothing yet can
be said of the state of the foriication. at
Fort Royal and Of the other establishments
of the Government, Of which no mention is
made. But from the reports collected from
the adjacent counties, we would infer that
the Sugar factories had suffered consdera-
bly, already; the known losses are es,ln'a-
ted at more than ten millions of francs.

THE TERRITORY. We see it stated in a certain
paper that "ho civil posse remains upon every part
ofthe disputed territory TO protect the timber" DC.
This story manufactured to grace give "backng
OUT the President and Gov. Fairfield. Now this
very paper published two or three weeks since the
official agreement between Gov. Fairfield and Sir
John Harvey, which gave the British possession for
the present, of three fourths of said territory and
they are now in full and complete possession of,
and exercising exclusive and undisturbed urisdic-
ton il. Upon the other fourth small number
of men acting under the authority of the State Of
Maine, unarmed, still remain south of the Aroos
took river. Within the limits over which the Brit
ish exercise exclusive jurisdiction settled hun
dreds of American citizens. 1t also embraces IN.
corporated towns. But for the fact that Mass. had
voice in this question, the territory this would
have been in the hands of England by virtue of a
accession by Jackson and Van Buren,, both of whom
have sought TO get it into their hands for this pur
pose; but thwarted in their schemes BY the
Wings of Maino and Mass The N. III. Statesman
remarks:
1t has seemed to that from the first proposition
Of Gen. Jackson to purchase of Name the territory
in dispute for the purpose bleeding the same to
England it has been The design of the Tories TO
furnish England with some color of title to the ju-
rsdiction over it. Gov Fairfield, by his express
agreement, has but carried out the design OF the
Tory Administrations

This can hardly be believed while It is Remembered
that Boston was the hot bed in which terminated
| the Revolution. But when Northern men will al
low their vessels 10 be unnamed, and the rights
and liberty of those under their protection 10 be
iufringed upon, without uttcring word of re-
monstrance ; who can wonder that the Southern
ers charge us, and with some appearance oftruth,
with mean and trucking policy /? Let the North
ern States assert the rights of their citizens, and
maintain them fthey cannot, is lime that union
! of these States were dissolved. Our independence
was declared lighter grounds.
Southern Policy has too much the ascendant In
our national councils, and always has had. South
ern Policy created the Tariff and Southern Poll
cy abolished it by the threat of Modification and
secession. Southern Policy refuses 10 form tea
ty with The ndepe ndent Republic of Hayti, or ev-
en- to acknowledge her independence and with
commerce of 800 900 dollars per annum with
that island, our merchants obliged to pay 10
per cent. than those ofany other nation, mere-
ly because the Southerners would be puzzled TO
have coiored minister at Washington. How do
the aristocraic courts of England and France man
age to tolerate their presence ~" 'H
i have a most sacred regard for our Union and
would do all in my power to keep it holy and in
violate pr00ided, always, that the rights of eDery
class of our free citizens should be respected us the
Constitution guarantees But Union cemented
with the blood of citizens sold into perpetual
slavery-or drawn from their backs by the "ihirty-
nine lashes" ordered by the Legislature OF Alaba-
ma, would be Union unholy and infamous.
There sail out Of New Bedford, ships, owned by |
colored merchants, and Differed and manned by |
ooiored mariners /; and the crews allowed, by |
all who have seen them, 10 be better behaved than
any white crews that sail out of the United States.
ct these merchants and mariners canuot prose-
cute any voyage to the Southern ports of our coun
try, by reason Of the oppressive laws of the South
ern States. If thev were ever obliged to put into
one of their ports in DISTRESS the crew, officers
and all, would be plunged into prison, and their
ship might rot and sink the wharf for all the
lief they would get in that country of 'free and
quail rights.
