LATEST FROM THE EAsT--The Maine pa
pers continue to express dissatisfaction at the
Presidents message. They think il is not de-
cideG enough--that it is too tame--and express
an opinion that Governor Fairfield will not
comply with the intimation in the message to
withdraw his troops from The disputed terrific
ry. War measures are evidently the popular
measures in Name.
Gen. Scott arrived on Wednesday after
noon at A O'clock at Portland, and was to ad-
dress the citizens from the Cumberland House
that evening.
The Portland troops had left that city in
carriages on the way to Augusta, under COM
mand Of Col. ]. D. Kinsman.
General Harvey, it is said is concentrating a
strong military force in the Province of New
Brunswick.
The trespassers arrested on Fish River by
Colonel Jarvis have been released by that Off
Ger, in consequence of their showing per-
mits from the Government of New Bruns-
wick.
We find the following letter in the Boston
Atlas of yesterday morning:
MAcHIAs, Saturday evening, 9.o'clock.
We have Just received news from Easport,
which says that British man Of war arrived
off Campobello, opposite Eastport, yesterday
afternoon, with three handred regular troops
on board, bound to st. Johns--presumes to
befrom Halifax. Three more vessels were
hourly expected.
Part of the drafted men of New Brunswick
have marched for Fredericktown and the dis
puted territory, and others on their way. A
detachment OF one hundred and fifty men, from
the division, passed through here yesterday.
and about two hundred more are quartered in
town to night, bound to Calais.
We learn from the Eastern Argus that an
order was recently passed by the Executive
Council of New Brunswick, directing MIR. Nc
Laughlin TO proceed, with an unarmed force, to
the disputed territory, and drive the trespass-
ers from thence; but before proceeding to per-
form the duty thus imposed upon him, he was
to wait on the commander of the American
forces, show him his instructions, and request
him not tointerfere in the matter. Mr.. Nc
Laughln accordingly had an interview with
Gen. Hodsdon, at Houlton, the result Of which
was, that Gen. H. informed Mr.. M. that he
was stationed there by the Government Of
Maine for specific object, and had no author
ity to act in the manner requested by the
Council-therefore he should suffer no inter-
ference'in the territory, by any party, armed
or unarmed, but that he would communicate
the proposition to the Governor, and await his
further directions. On communicating these
facts TO Gov. Fairfield, he replied to Gen. HI.
in effect, that his reply to the British PROPOSE
ton was entirely satisfactory.

RELIC OF AriquIrY.--As our imp was busi-
ly engaged in splitting oven-wood, the other
day, he found imbedded in the heart of huge
pepperagc log, living mud turtle, with the fol-
lowing inscription, in the Hebrew character
engraven upon bis shell s'B. c. 2OO," thus
proving conclusively the age of the animal to
be at least twenty centuries, and that the
original settlers of this country were of the
seed of Abraham. Whether, in those early
days the turtle was used to climbing trees,
and thus placedhimself in situation to be i'm
bedded in the rapidly growing timber, or
whether he owes his incarceration to the hand
of man, is for philosophers to determine. We
intend soon to draw up paper on the subject,
giving minute description Of the whole dis
covery. @

Neither was any act for the Improvement OF

The bill making appropriations for the con

enactment for the further security of the re-

Sec. Q. And be it further enacted, That,
from and after the passage of this act, all mo-
ney paid to any Collector of the Customs, or to
any person acting as such, for unascerlalned
duties paid under protest against the rate or
amount of duties charged, shall be placed to

Collector, or person acting as such, to, await
an ascerlainmcnt of dutles or the result oi
any litigation in relationto the rate or amount
of duty legally chargeable and collectablc in
any case where money is to be SO paid. But,
whenever it shall be shown to the satisfaction
of the Secretary of the Treasury that, IN any
case of unascertained duty or duties paid under
protest, more money has been paid to the Col
ector Or person as such, than the law requires
should have been paid, it shall be his duty to
draw his warrant upon the Treasurer in ilvor
of the person or persons entitled to the over
payment, directing the said Treasurer to re-
fundthe same cut fany money in the Treasur-

AS themost interesting question that now
agitates this country, and soon will England, is
the boundary question, it will be we'll to seethe
relative situation of one country to the other
in the way of trade, and conclusions can be
drawn from the following statements. We
only depend upon England for Injuries, and in
the event of further trouble, upon the above
question, we can dispense with allthair manu-
factures to our ultimate benefit, while the
want of our cotton would bring ruin upon
more than three quarters of their popula-
ton.
