STEAMER BRlDGEWATER SUNK.

By the Steamers Augusta and ST. Lawrence,
we learn that when the Steamboat Bridgewa-
ter, Captain Wright, with full load Of Cotton
bound to New Orleans, was rounding too few
miles below Ellis Cliffs, her stern swung around
and snagged, and she immediately commenced
sinking in 80 fathoms water. We are happy
10 say that the boats crew, passengers, books,
letters, &c. havelall been saved through the ex-
ertions of Captain Wright and MIR. Moses,
the Clerk, and that all the cotton that was
above decks, except few bales in the engine
room, have been saved and are now safely
deposited on the bank. The boat is now kept
afloat by too large hawsers secured to the
shore.
1t is more than probable the boat will be to.
tai wreck.
For the above information we are indebted
to our friends at the landing, Messrs. F. & R. N
Wood.-Natchez Courier.

and in the mean time lite Vide Pouche kept
steadily at it, and went ahead, coming OFT near

The Boundary Question.

AS the difficulties concerning our North
Eastern Boundary are assuming serious
aspect, we have had prepared the above
map Of the state of Maine, showing the size
of the disputed territory, with the various
lines as claimed by the United States and
Great Britain. and the compromise line
suggested by the king Of the Netherlands.
We likewise subjoin such additional infor-
nation gathered from various sources, as
appears necessary to full understanding Of
this vexed question.
In the first place, it may be as we'll TO
state that the district which is now called
Maine, at that time included in portion of
the province of Massachusetts, Bay, was ac-
knowledged by Great Britain, as free,
sovereign and Independent State," in the
Treaty of Peace of September Sd, 17s3.-
The second article Of that treaty defines the
boundary line between the United States
and the possessions of Great Britain. 1t
says, 1t is hereby agreed and declared
that the following are and shall be the boun-
daries Of the United States, to wit -
From the northwest angle Of Novasco-
tia, to wit, that angle which is formed by a
line drawn due north from the source of the
St. Croix River to the highlands, along the
said highlands which divide those rivers
that empty themselves into the st. Law
renee from those that fall into the Atlantic
Ocean, to the NOTWITHSTANDING head of the
Connecticut river" Also further on it
says, " East by line to be drawn along
the middle of the river St. Croix TO the
Bay Of Funday to its source, and from its
source direcrly north to the aforesaid high
lands which divide the rivers that fall into
the Atlantic Ocean from those which fall
into the river st. 4awrence.
The dispute between the two govern
ments arises from the difficulty of ascer-
tanning the line indicated blythe words quo
ted above. The British government place
" the northwest angle of Nova Scotia at
Mars Hill, about 40 miles north of the
