PORTSMOUTH,, LIST May, 1910.
The last correspondence brought home by the Bril-
tish Queen reads very warlike; but If you have any
influence in Maine, let them know that we do not
mean let them have their way; and further if they
force into war, it is fixed determination that
they shall be made to pay the piper. The boundary
claimed by us, and which is indispensable 10 cur
communication with Canada is not the best bounda-
nv for us and il we go 10 war intend to advance
il TO the parallel Of forty from where the bound
ary now breaks off, and which will include the Pc
nobscot and its very convenient and desirable har
Dor.
Brother Jonathan, we know, is tarnation obstinate
or perseverng in any thing he undertakes, but John
Bull when the steam is well up, is equally so; and
although the interests of both countries most de-
cidedly for peace, yet depend upon il we are not
afraid Of war
The reports in circulation here are, that in the
event Of war, shall reinforce our army in Ame-
rica to at least 100000 men, to be divided in
to four or Ave corps who to take positions the
frontier All the Maneites to the north of forty-fve
that will not take the oath Of allegiance to u.s. to
be moved forthwith the border, their traps to
be paid for, and the country then TO be declared
attached to New brunswick. The Canadas, New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia are then to be united
into one kingdom, with the most free and liberal in
stitutionsthe Duke Of Cambridge or his sen, Prince
George, to be set it, king, and league often
sve and defensive, to be entered into for twenty
Eve years, by which time their institutions will be
consolidated. Instead Of Withdrawing the army,
they are to have grants Of land to induce them to
settle there; all those whs have families to have
them sent out to them, and all those who have pen
siens are to have them paid in full in the country
If these things done, and il necessary they will
be- You may tell Brother Jonathan to take leave for
ever Of the Canadas, &c.
Whilst this is taking place DER the East, we do
not mean to be idle in the Wcst-and notw thstand-
ing all the clustering in the North American Re-
