clude but comparatively a small portion of
all those great interests, the direction OF
which lies in great measure, in the hands
of the chief magistrate of our country.
OF the competency of Gen Scott for the
proper fulfment Of all the duties which
devolve upon the executive head Of our

an opinion, as we know little of him ex'
cept as pertains to his military career,
which has been brilliant and spolless -
Should he, however, be advocated to any
great extent, as the successor of Mr.. Van
Buren,. his capabilities for oil the varied

NEWS BY THE GREAT YVES TER N

NEWS BY THE GREAT IVES FERN.
The principle topic of conversation at
present is, "what accounts will the Great
Western brings US Of the course of Great
Britain relative to the boundary question ?"
To those who know The jealousy with
which Great Britain has ever guarded her
immense territory, there will arise some
apprehcnsions perhaps, that she has taken
Governor Fairfelds military demonstra-
tons in high dungeon. But when we con
slider that Mr.. Van Buren's message and
the correspondence Of Mr.. Fox and John
Harvey, were also transmitted to England
at the same time with the news Of the
bcligerent attitude which Name had as
sumed. we have every reason to expect
that the British government will deliberate
calmly upon the subject, and not allow the
remembrance Of ancient anlmositles to lOs.
ter and keep alive disagreement which
can be easily removed.
As to war between Great Britain and
the United States, it is utterly out of the
question. For the truth is that neither
that country nor any other monarchy in
Europe would dare to involve themselves
in war with us. The spirit of republi.
Cd1lSUl is 81 Illc all ONcV LuIOpC, tiIhl lUc
first blow struck in such contest would
be the signal for the downfall of many an
ancient prerogative. The accuracy of our
remarks is verified by the cou1e which the
French government. pursued relative TO the
American indemnity money. Louis Phi.
| lppe well knew that his tenure upon the
throne Of the Bourbons was for too frail to
be perl'ed in war with real republic
And the consequence was, that although
the people Of France were extremely indlg.
nant at the tone OF General Jackson's
message on the subject, their rulers peck
eled the afftont and paid the money. In
all qnarrels therefore, with kings or despos
we are sure to have the advantage; such
personages preferring a security 10 their
own families and themselves, of present
power and aflluence, to he risk Of losing
oil in a contest with democracy.-N Y

FROM THE FRONTIER.

The St. Adams Messenger of the llh says
The first burning since last paper. was house
in llighsae, belonging TO Mr.. Drury, situated
about half mile on this side Of the line. 1t took
place on Thursday morning. in open day light,
after our guard left it. who had occupied it, during
the night, as IA post. At daylight they carefully
distinguished the fire in the house before leaving il,
which ,Iiey had during the night, by pouring water
upon it. few hours after lhey4ad left the house
it was discovered TO be fire on the north side,
towards the line. No family was living 10 the
house" Mysterious as this burning appears, we
think that the most reasonable susposilion is, that
it was The work Of an incendiary, In fact, we are
informed by an eye witness that there can be no
doubt of it.
On Sunday night the heavens were iIlu
mined by large fire in the direction of
Alburgh. II was seen at a great distance,
and IN beho'dlng its magnticence, various
were the conjectures as to its probable
situation and extent, and the end Of such
nightly scenes. We learn that the fire
was the burning of two barns and shed,
belonging to P. Huxley, in Albnrgh, sltua,
ted abou, half mile this side of the line,
What were the contertSQf the barns, we
are not informed.
On Friday night previous to the burning
Of Mr. HuXley's barns, an attempt was
made to fire the house of Mr.. Vosburgh,
at Cadwell's Manor, which was set on
fire last January. The following extract
OF letter gives the circumstances Of the
case, and are entitled to credit
"ALBURGH, April 6.
Last night there was an.
other attempt to burn Abraham Vosburgh's
house. The fire was well kndled in the
cellar way with straw. 1t was done abou,
dark, when the guards were exchanging,
The day guard had been gone about an
hour, and the night-guard coming within
about half mile, the light of tho fire
attracted their attention. which they pun
out,
"John Vosburgh, nephew of Abraham
Vosburgh, who is loyal volunteer and a
nightsguurd. raised loud cry, and fred his
gun at somcbody-and the lest of the guard
did the samc--ihey say at two m en- in French
