III. President has Communicated TO the Senate
II, Inflammation called for by certain resolutions Of
,h,, bo,ly. concerning the state of affairs on the
,,d.rv between the United States and the British
northwestern possessions. The National ln'elligcn-
-, If Saturday last furnishes the following synopsis
of them:
A Letter from Mr.. Fox. the British Minister
70 Mr. FoRsrTH, Secretary Of State, dated in No
,rn,ber last, complaining OF the violation Of the IL
cyeemept entered into between the agents of the
Two Governments last winter, by the opening OF roads
10 the Aroostook. and The occupation ola part Of
the disputed territory by body OF armed men employ
ed by The Authorities Of the 5 ate Of MAINE.
Q A letter from Mr.. FoRsrTH. written some
weeks afterwards reply ing 10 The complaints Of Mr..
Fox that the opening OF the roads in question is
a recent measure, but merely carrying out policy
adopted twelve fourteen years ago that the arm.
ed body spoken Of is only posse employed TO drive of
nlrudels and that nothing has been done our
side incompatible with The spirit of the agreement
between tho agents Of tue two countries whilst on
the British side acts have been done which may be
justly complained of as infringing The agreement,
such as erecting barracks for troops on the St.
JOINS. placing troops Oh part OF the disputed
territory. DC.
g. A Letter from Mr.. Fox jusiifying what the
British authorities have DONE on the ground Of the
current report that The Legislature Of he State Of
MAINE had an intention 10 abrogate and nnlhfy the
agreemeht made between leIwo countries last spring
which rumor was 100 strongly coroborated by the
language OF Governor FAIRFIELD al the opening OF
The Session of that Legislature not to justify pre-
cautionaiy measures, which have not been resoIted
10, however, with any design TO infringe tie agree
Ineni, &c.
L. Another Letter ON Mr.. FoRsrrm to NJ. Fox,
in which lie says that there is no reason TO aJpre-
bend such an intention rs is imputed TO the Legls-
laue OF Maine that The alleged precautionary II. ca
'nres are therefore altogether gratuiious on the
part 81 BRUSH authorizes IN New Brunswick, and
nns be considered "a bold iracion" OF The agree
men OF last winter; and that, if the BRUSH Go
rernment uphold tins proceeding the part offs
'genls. such course IN lis Part will be regard
I'd by this Government as evidence off want of that
friendly disposition on the part Of Great Britain
which has hitherto been believed TO exist, &c.
The National lnellgenccr expresses the opinion,
hat there is nothing calculated to create apprehen
lou of a rupture between Great Britain and the u
hed States. 1t contradicts Que pant upon which
his appre hension was based-;o wiz that Sir John
harvey, the British Governor Of New Brunsw lex
lad issued proclamation, enjoining forbearapce

There has been another bear. garden scene in the
louise of Representatives in which Bynum of North
'arolina was again a prominent actor It seems that
'ynum denounced Mr.. Peck, Of New York, as an
