The delay in the arrival Of the Great Western, con-
firms - in our previous superstition that she was de-
tanned fer the arrival Of the Liverpool and doubtless
fsw days afterwards to alsv Of some action BY the
government ON the whole movemspk here, the news
Of which was carried out ~ the latter steam beat
The Liverpool left here the 9th ult. and on the
l9th nine days out, spoken in long 34l5, having
32Ae to make, which she would do in six days, con-
sequently she must have arrived out the oath Of
March in fifteen days, the of which would
reach Bristol on the 18th. The government being
possessed Of the news would probably intimate to
the proprietors Of the Great Western the necessity
of OBTAINING her for answer; she would therefore,
probably not sail before the lst inst and may be
pected now daily, at least by Wednesday next. The
nature Of the decision the subject which she may
bring, will, without doubt, be final settlement of the
question by an interchange Of territory, making the
st. Johns river the boundary from its mouth to its
source.
In looking back upon the events which have for
the last tive years had bearing upon the subject,
the conviction that such will be the result is nevta
BILE. In the last message of Mr.. Van Buren,, the
boundary question was simply referred to remain
ing in the position at the period of the pre-
vioss message. Subsequent to that time and before
the troubles in Maine broke out informal commu-
nication was received from the British government
intimating that the question might be adjusted by
Interchange of territory. This proposition I'M
der discussion by cabinet at the time of the
movements the border. Previously, however,
Mr. Van Buren, had held consultation with Mr..
Clay, as a leading member Of the opposition, upon
the expediency of the measure, which was favoraby
entertained. The whole matter was thus in fair
train for settlement when the disturbances occurred.
These took place at most inopportune moment,
and nearly jeopardized negotiation which, in the
course of fifty years, never before so near set
Element. Accordingly, we find both parties united
in suppressing any further movement the border;
Mr.. Van Bnren, by recommending the withdrawal Of
the Maine forces and Mr. Fox by waving the pre-
tension Of jurisdiction, until further advices from
his government. We also learn that by the Liver
pool was sent an informal announcement to the
British government that the Indicated settlement
might be favorably considered This being the actual
state of the question between the two governments
which have alone voice in the matter, the movements
of the local authorities will have other weight
than to hasten the final decision in the indi
Gated This decision will doubt be brought by the
expected steamer, and on its official announcement
all farther feeling the subject must be Immediately
put at rest
Dy- THE EXHIBITION OF THE NATIONAL AcApR-
opens today, or at least IN day or two. We
learn that of the choicest original paintings
that came from an American easel, will be
there exhibited during the present season. New
York possesses at this moment more talent and
genius fer painting than the world is aware Of We
have at least eighty artists, one half of them echn
caIly called " pot boers"-one fourth of considera
BILE talentand about dozen Of the higher order Of
genius and originality
During the exhibition, mean to enter into a
critical and historical analysis of all these artists
do Justice to those who merit II, and injustice to
none that have merit. Our newspaper critics on
paintings very generally ignorant, fippant with
out love taste for the beautiful the picturesque,
the grand or the original. During my visit to London
and Paris, studied for weeks all the splendid gal
leres which adorn these capitals, embracing proba-
bly, wenty thousand original paintings OF every
school, Italian Spanish French, Flemish and English
Corrected, formed and shaped by these models,
have my own ideas, my own tastes, my views on
paintings. Among the principles at the foundation
Of every art, there is a common link, common
bond, and a common resemblance. The intellectual
process which creates an original, great and pro-
found writer, poet dramatist, for newspapers or
not is almost precisely identical with that which
forms the thoughts, feelings and imagination of an
original painter and original genius in that art
have ascertained this singular fact by actual
comparison Of the me ntal movements Of my own
mind with those Of genius in the art Of painting.
In the course of remarks on the exhibition, we
shall illustrate these views, and establish some Curl
Gus principles TO genius Of every kind, suf
icient 10 shew that there things in the de-
velopments of genius in the art that cannot be found
CIV in the far famed dscourses Of Sir Joshua Rey-
nolds One result is certain. New York, at no dis
tant day. will contain body Of original artists that
cannot, and will not, be surpassed in the civilized
world. Look in upon the Academy, but leave yul-
gar tastes and passions behind.
