LATE FROM ENGLAND.

Hy the Susannah Cumming, Capt. Salter,
at Boston, from Liverpool, papers have been
received to the 9Th of April, and by the ship
Chatham to the 9th Of April.
The papers were full of discussions touch
ing the boundary question.
The London Observer of the 3Ist OF March
ssys:-"We have been assured, on authorl-
ty, on which we may place reliance, that
proposals have been sent out by the Great
Western, which left Bristol on this day week
for New York, for the adjustment of the
Boundary question. The contents Of the
dispatches, have it is said, the full concur
renee Of our government, and meet also
the views of Mr.. Stevenson the u. States
Minister"
Touching the Boundary Question the
Times quotes the official organ Of the gov
ernment can have no objection to decision
Of the question, on a survey Of the territory
in dispute, and the striking Of the boundary
line according to the treaty Of 1888. Bot II
adds that it is useless to appoint commis-
soner, without clear preliminary under
standing between the two governments as to
the principles by which the inquiry is to he
regulated, and that the proposition would be
forwarded to the government OF the United
States by the next packet.
The Times remarks that the ministry mean
to say that the whole question is to be reopen
ed there is to be a new survey, new com
missoncrs, and another arbitration if the
commissioners do not ngree-which 1t thinks
is very likely to prove correct. And it then
quotes another paragraph from the article
by the government writer proposing in case
Of necessity, an interchange of territory, or
the payment of sum, 10 be fixed as the
value of the tract, the possession Of which is
essential to the British government, if it ap.
pear that her claim to it can be supported by
equitable proof. The Times says, the pro-
posa to take up the whole subject de moro is
not new, but was made by the american Min
lister to Lord Palmers,on some time ago, and
his Lordsbip forgot TO communicate it to his
colleagues The Times then reviews lin
his own way) the whole question, from our
refusal to accept the award Of the King OF
! Holland, and concludes that the Ministry are
afraid of the Republicans, and will make any
sacrifice to maintain peace, and continue
themselves in Office.
Paris dates are to the I'd. A provisional
ministry had been formed, The composition
of which is loudly condemned by the oppo-
si,lon press, and two of the members are ac-
cused of having procured the expulsion OF
the prince Louis Napoleon from the Swiss
Canton.
The garrison Of Paris was gradually rein
forcing, but stocks had risen trine, owing
to general understanding, or sort of stock
brokers' contract, that all speculation should
cease, until after the meeting of the Cham
bcrs. 1t is mentioned by an opposition jour
nal, as proof Of the distrust of the people,
in the existing government, that the pay
ments of the Savings Bank had, in one week
exceeded the receipts by 100000 francs.
