Settlement OF the Boundary Question.

From the London Morning Chronicle Of Nor. %
Settlement OF the boundary Question.
We have heard to-day, in quarters
where information on such matters espe-
cially may be fully relied upon, that the
question of boundary between the pos
sessions Of Great Britain I'm North Amer
lea and the Uniled States, is on the eve of
being formally adjusted, and in manner,
it is said. which will give satisfaction 10
the public on both sides, and be in accord
ance with the views OF the two govern
ments.
1t is, in fact, stated that communica-
tons for some time past have been going
on between Mr.. Stevenson, the American
minister, and our government, upon this
point, and that it has been determined 10
appoint commission, to decide upon the
question, the government a: 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 cedsd 10 US,
and, as an equivalent, the coast and terri
tory lying between the rivers ST. Croix
and ST. John, equal in size to what is
given up on the other side, will be made
over 10 America.
BY this means Maine will possess al
most an entire water boundary, and the
country between Nova Scotia and Canada
will be laid open to US, point in itself
OF the very utmost importance, more es-
peciallY at the present moment, and there
can be little doubt that the railway which
has often been proposed from Halifax to
Quebec, but as often put off in couse-
quence of the boundary question, will
soon be carried into effect, by which
means it is needless to say most impor-
tant and favorable change will be effected
in our Canadian trade.
