MAINE DtrFIcuLTIEs. Many speculations and
rumors concerning the border troubles arc ahoat,
and preparations are making on both sides for
war. We are inclined, however, TO believe that
the matter will be amicably adjusted without
resort TO arms. Things, however, look rather
sqnally at present, in the North. We learn from
the Now Bedford Mass Mercury, of the 9th
ult., that the Territory in dispute containe
1000, 900 acres--l0, 705 square miles; & belongs
to Mainc and Massachusetts IT is valuable chief
ly for its timber. Maine has gone warmly into
the dispute, we learn from the Augusta
Journal, F" which says: ''An express messenger
arrived from Sir John Harvey, demanding Of the
Governor the recall of his forces on the Aroos-
took, asserting that he [Sir John Harvey, was
instructed to maintain exclusive jurisdiction
over the Territory in dispute, and that he should
do SO with the military forces under his com
mand. Now, as tlis territory is in the counties
OF Penobscot and Washington, in townships To-
