New York breathes free again. What of
alarm there was Of war is about over. The cla-
NOR of war only is left in Maine. Governor
Fairfield scolds, but is about to be obedent
to "the powers that be-" even after all the
buster. Thus arrives at a right conclusion
by very wrong way.
From New Brunswick we learn that the Pro-
vipcial Legislature have made contingent
appropriation for road near Temscouatta
lake. The Fredericton Sentlne trusts that
the United States will be called upon to foot
the New Brunswick militia and road-making
bill. The object. ofthe appropriation for the
road is to open way to Quebec. The British
mail now tfaverses this route.
The Bangor Wing, o'clock P. M, March
IA, in postsclpt, announces all express pass

turn from Augusta to Fredericton, remarked
that he thought Governor Fairfeld's PROPOSE
tions would not be satisfactory to the Provin-
cial Government.
The Nova Scotians, Judging by Their news
papers, are very much amazed that the New
Brunswick Assembly is not as mad as the No

the difference.

perhaps. 1t cannot but succeed, if lie tar
res among us, and infuses into it his spirit and
genius.

country is exposed at once to the horror Of
invasion from without, and civil war within.
The accounts we have received are somewhat
uncertain, and in some instances conflicting;
but enough is certainly known to show that the
two parties Of the centrnlists and the revolu-

each other, and Santa Anna looks to tho event

power. A general battle was daily expected

NAUTICAL SURVEY OF THE LAKES.
The great utility and many advantages, to
be derived from maritime survey of the in
land seas; has been long since discussed and
conceded. The great surprise is, that prepar-
atory measures have not been taken to present
to Congress memorial, showing the absolute
necessity of a nautical survey of the lakes.
Immense losses are annually sustained by our
extensive and valuable inland commerce, from
the want of marine charts, which should accu-
rately delineate the shores, bays, headlands,
rocks, shoals &c.-the soundngs should be
correctly taken and the qualities ofth bottom
described; the position of the most noted pla-
ces should bo determined by astronomical and
chronometric observations. A work Of the kind
would be invaluable to the citizens of the wes-
tern states: asidefrom the immediate benefits 10
bed erived fromit, by mariners g. shippers; from
the great additional securities 1t would give to
life and property. A photographed survey
would elicit a mass Of scientific and geographic
calknpwledge respecting the great lakes, that
would be highly interesting and creditabe to
the nation.
The general governme ent for several years
past has been making liberal appropriations,
for marine surveys ON the Atlantic coast, and
when tits taken into consideration that there
are seven states and a territory, bordering on
the lakes, and that they are the great natural
high ways, on which are transported yearly,
hundreds Of thousands of passengers and mil
lions ofproperty we may reasonably suppose
that it will when properly presented to the
consideration of Congress, obtain law to au-
thorize survey forthwith.
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, have
probably more pressing interests inthe early
accomplishment Of work Of this kind, they
have greater amount Of tonnage and more
commerce than the adjoining states; though to
them survey would be equally desirable; yet
they have made no efforts whatever towards
having itdone. Histo be regretted that the
great thoroughfares from Ontario to Superior,
from Vermont to Wisconsin are unknown to
photography. In lsl5 and ls, the British
government, surveyed, explored, and sounded
the depth Of the waters adjacertto their Cana-
Is itnot areproaeh to us hay-

yson, than the other power; that we should
