After the reading Of the bill, the report
of the Committee was then read, giving
the reasons for the bill.
'ill,e oeoa'e followed between Mr.
Adams, Mr. Evans, Mr. Legaro and Mr.
Howard.
Mr. Adams wished the Chairman of the
Committee to alter his report in one or two
remarks. The report stated that in two
instances tho British Government had
claimed exclusive jurisdiction over the dis
puled Territory. lie did not consider the
British Government had made any such
claim.
Nr Evans repeated that Sir John Harvey
had claimed this Notwithstanding that
he was instructed and directed 10 exercise
such jurisdiction.
That, said Mr.. Adams. is true. But this
was mere construction Of Sir John Har.
vey's upon instructions.

to be afforded to the British Government
to withdraw any such instructions. Sir
John Harvey has put his country in the
wrong. wish to keep it there. think

reporting that the British Government, in.

Mr.. Howard SAID his report did leave this
matter in the hands Of the Provincial Gov

not to make Sir John Harvey unnecessarily

F friday MORNING, MA rich, s.

We publish to day the Presidents com.
munlcallon to Congress, and the dolngs of
both houses touching the boundary ques.
tion The message, like its author, is Of
very little consequence, and seems to have
elected little or no comment in any qua rter.
The two houses Of Congress, however,
appear to have taken hold of the subject
with better spirit, and IN the manly and
patriotic bearing which characlerizes their
deliberations we find an assurance that our
rights Will be protected and the nations
honor indicated. The whole question of
peace or war, it will be seen, now turns on
the single point whether the British WOW.
eminent persists in the claim set I'D bv
Gov. Harvey to exclusive jurisdiction over
the territory IN question, and which he saws
he is instructed to maintain at all hazards.
This we think the government will disavow.
But 1t MT, then is the time come. We

We have little or nothing from the from.

not as yet made any hostile demonstration,
nor do we believe that he will dare to do it
with any thing like the force he can at
present command. He is however muster.

Two more were to follow immediately.-

WASHINGTON, Feb. Of.
After an executive session of some two
hours, Mr. Buchanan from the Committee
on Foreign Affairs, made report on the
Presidents Message aud documents. and
protocoi, which had been referred yesterday,
A. near us | could gather its spirit from
hearing it read, it set forth that the com
mlltcc. after long and patient and critical
Investigation, conId tird 10 trace of any
agreement between the two powers by
which England was to exercise exclusive
jurisdiction but on the contrary, they had
found hat the disputed territory was not
to be in possession Of either except so far
as each had held it respectively. That if
New Brunswick had determined to main.
tain possess on, then the crisis had arrived
under the Constitution, when the PreSlden,
could call out the Militia. That Maine
has not violated the spirit Of the compact
in sending a land agent to drive off lawless
in'rndcrs,--it was the right of both so to
do, but the duty Of each to retire after
wards; that if New Brunswick forbears to
execute her threats then Name is to with
draw the troops, and if she will not do 60,
then she is to receive no military aid from
the U. S. This is made the order Of the
day for TO morrow, when we shall have it
thoroughly debated.
