A correspondence is now going on at w ashingten,
between Secretary Forsyth and Mr.. Fox of very
angry character-a part Of which was recently pub
lished-but the worst is yet to come 1t is expect
ed by some persons that the British Minister will
demand his passports, and return to Eng land in
few weeks very active correspondence has been
also going on, all the winter and spring. between the
State Department at Washington and the authorities
of Maine; and from the particulars which have al
ready leaked out it is believed that the Legislature
of Maine will send force to the disputed territory
and take possession of it, before the termination
of the present session of Congress. This move
ment on the part of Maine, has been sanctioned by
the Cabinet at Washington; and in pursuance there
of the LIST Regiment of U. S. Artillery, and other
troops have been ordered to the north eastern from
tier Col. Worth is already on his way thither, and
Gen. Scott will soon follow.

his Cabinet are easily discovered. He is in the
wane-the popular sentiment is setting In another
direction; and unless new issue be raised, and the
national enthusiasm receive a fresh direction, his
chances of reelection are doubtful In this state of
Maj ndar stands n a
convenient attitude for being blown into flame with

ty stand committed to the policy of taking posses
sion of the territory 4th of July, and of
running line, in opposition to all the British force
in that quarter. Why should not some fourth of
July" be the next fourth of Julyl 1t is highly pro-
bable therefore, that Maine will make decided
war movement in few weeks or days, and that
prodigious excitement will grow out of the present
condition of affairs all tending to rupture with
England.
Well. be it So IL war must come, let it
soon as possible Prepare for important news from
the East.
