MAINE SECRET MISSION.

We learn from the Boston Daily Adver-
tiser of the LIST, that on Wednesday last
a confidential message from the Governor
was sent 10 the House Of Representatives
OF Maine, upon which a secret mission was
held, followed by another in the Senate.
A correspondent in the Advertiser states
the following as the conjeclures that were
a1oat as to the nature of the message.
The first was, that it might be an appl-
cation from the President of The United
States. for the grant Of some authority
from the Legislature Of Maine. to negotiate
for new boundary-the second and more
probable is. that an authority has been ask q.
ed from the Legislature, to employ suffi
cent force 10 seize the trespassers on lhe
public lands, in the disputed territory,
together with their plumber. and to secure
them for trIal-t being reported that there
are more than hundred teams employed
in carrying off timber, in violation of the
laws Of both Maine and New Brunswick.

WILLISTON MEETING.

A large and respectable meeting Of The

Wills,on on Thursday week-of which
Hon. Truman Cbi'tenden was chairman.
The committee appointed for the purpose,
reported some excellent resolutions. which
were unanimously adopted by the meeting,
and ordered to be published but the ven
cradle chairman refused TO carry the order
into execution, unless some of the resolu

was finally done, to accommodate His

We have been Informed. verbally, Of a
melancholy occurrence which took place at
WaIIingford on Sunday night, the Goth nlt.
Three young men we're employed wat ching
a coal pit, near which, as 10 customary, a
cabin was built to protect the workmen
from the inclemency Of the weather The
young men had retired into the cabin,
which was well supplied with straw, and IT
appears they also had fire. From the
account the young men gave they must
all have fallen asleep, and when they awoke
they were completely enveloped in flames.
and being somewhat bewiIdered, they could
not readily discover the entrance to the
cabin. but finally succeeded in getting out,
though their clothes were entirely con.
sumed, and their bodies and limbs literally
roasi ed--in this horrId condition they were
able to reach the house Of Mr. Adrlch the
father of one Of the young men. q distance
of about half a mile, but in situation not

on Tuesday following, another on Wednes-
day. and we have not learned whether the
third survives or not. They were from Is

MEXICO.

Dates from Vera Cruz are to the 4th Of
January, via New Orleans. The Mexicans
as we'll as tho French have forbidden the
landing of cargoes. 100 French passen.
gers, late residents in Vera Cruz. arrived
at New Orleans on tho 18Th, on board
French vessel. They report that things
remained in staiu quo at Vera Cruz; the
Mexican army encamped near the city. and
the French residents arriving daily from
the interior with the view Of embarkiDg.
The arrival of an English fleet at Vera
Cruz, is fully confirmed. Although the
English papers and rumors from various
places, had prepared US for the arrival OF
this squadron we confess. we had no ex.
pec,atlon that it would have appeared in
such formidable array. That it's inten-
tons are hostile towards France, we do
not believe; bu. we consider still more
improbable, the opinion expressed in some
New Orleans papers, that its objects are
to cooperate with the French squadron in
the blockade, and to compel the Mexican
Government to comply with Tho demands
, of France, as well as OF England. The in
s,ruclions given to it. are probably, gener-
ally to protect British commerce, perhaps
insist on the FREQ passage Of the produce OF
the mines 10 British packets, and wal,
further events. The taunts Of the oppo'
sition in England, that the ministry had
shewn a culpable Indifference to English
interests in the quarter in question. has
probably led to the expedition as much as
ony thing else. We would that the Gov
ernmen, ofthe United States might be led
by similar causes. to shew some sensibi'ity
to The suffering interests of American
citizens Courier.
