ing consequence. that, unless measures b
adopted for settling the question, more co
erciye measures must be resorted to. The
editor of the Quebec Gazette states it a.

linquish a portion of her rights than pro

let it terminate as it would, could not bul
be attended with the most disastrous con.
sequences. A report has gone forth, tina,
Great Britain has determined upon main.
aiming her rights. and refusing to Weld
up any portion of the bone in contention
this, however, we believe to be inbound

Let alittle Tnsgnanimity be shown, on both sides.
and the matter will be easily settled.
