determination Of The Maine House of Repre-
sentatives to persist n maintaining bellIgerent
attitude The concatory resolution, reported
from the Senate Boundary Committee by Mr.
Cole, in pursuance d recommendation OF me
Governors message5 which we have. already
published, passed the Senate on Monday, by a
vote OF l6 ayes 10 l nay. Il was reported with,
out amendment 10 the House on Tuesday, and
was discussed until eyen<ng, in stormy and
exciting maDner-opposM on the ground thai it
was too vague and indefh1te-gave too much
Iatitute to the discretion Of the executive; that
il gave an opportuaisg and had the appearance
of backing out ttat Is did not require the
withdrawal of the provincial forces at NADIA
waska settlement, and that in fine, if at all car
ried out in IFS true spirit, IT would De retro
grade movement on the part of Maine.
The next morning, (Wefnesday)a Mr.. Deies-
dernier introduced three substitute resolutions.
The first aifi,ms the indqeasble right OF Maine
10 exercise exclusive Jurisdiction over the whole
of the disputed territory and that no agree
rnent which has or may be entered into by The
Government of the unlol' can impair ner pre-
rogative to be the sole Judge Of the time when,
and the manner ia which, that right shall be
enforced Second, that in consequence OF The
measures recently adopted at w ashlngtoii, and
particularly the provision made for a special
Minister, and actuated by sincere desire to
come TO an amcable adjustment Of the whole
controversy, the State will, for the present, for
bear 10 enforce its jurisdiction over that portion
of the territory heretofore in British possession.
Ii is, however, declared ~ be the duty of Maine
to exercise jurisdiction over the ohoie territory,
so far as Jurisdiction is Involved IN the expul
sion of trespassers andthe protection Of the public
property. They Furthermore authorize the Gov
ernor to withdraw the military, when he is sal
isfied that they are not necessary to sustain the
civil force on the territory. After these resolves
had undergone a thorough discussion. they

sent to another conventional line, or, IN other
words. will not consent to another arbitration
as recommended BY the President; and I'd, that
in the event Of refusal by Great Britain TO
assent TO joint commission for survey OF the
line, as described by the treaty OF '63-then II
will be the duty of the General Government i'm
mediately to take and maintain jurisdiction 10
the whole territory in dispute.
The whole of the foregoing resolves, It viii
be observed, are of decided and peremptory
character. Whether they will pass the Senate,
remains in doubt. II was expected that the le-
eislature would rise in few days.
Sir John Haryey's communications to Gener-
al Scott intimate disposition TO withdraw the
British troops to the south Of the st. Johns.

trespassers is on the north side OF the ST. Johns,

II can easily be run into the province on The
breaking up Of the ice.
In view OF the attitude assumed BY the Maine
House, the aspect OF affairs is not so pacific as
il was few days ago. ItiSsafe, however, to
infer, that there need mo apprehension OF
any immediate collision OF the forces of the two
belligerents. Things will remain quiet,for the
present though we by no means think that the
probabilities oil war, tinalli are at alflessened.
The next news from EnglaFl willprobably ena-
Bile us to determine certaiiy on that point.
