which should serve a. a frsard 10 those
who remained faithful 20 their eolofs.
Such had been the opinion 81 hrs pob'e
friend the late secretary al war end Lord
Srsion, and he (Air. Macaussy,) had rra-
son to believe tina. opinion was, generally,
entertained amongst those who possessed
the hest Information upon The subject.
The precise details OF the plan had not
vet been made out, and much correspon-
dence must take place before II . be
prod uced but, it was not improbable,
that, before The house again assembled,
some regiments would be removed from
Canada, il would be desirable that men. ol
good character should be induced 10 re-
main there. On these grounds he was IN

The N. E. Boundury.-Lord John Rus
sell ia the course of some remarks upon the
estimates and the army, stated -
"That the whole difficulty with res
pect TO the boundary question in America
was the failure Of his noble friend and the
Government 10 make n reply TO the ulii-
nahum sent from the United States. His
noble friend, in the course of last year,
had transmitted a project for the purpose
OF finally settling this question with the
American Government. Alter the lapse
of q considerable period tho American
Government sent back a different one,
called cou%nter-project, with various pro-
visions Of their own. At the same time
that these provisions reached this country
there at the same time arrived gentlemen
who had been ordered 10 make q survey
Of the part Of the country in which the
disputed boundary existed. These gentle
men were now employed in making re-
port OF their survey, and as oon as their
ra,1nft az, a a rarn,po1 nm pcu,a tpnul1 ha
given to this ounter- project to the Amer
lean Government. That was the state OF
things at present, which would show hon.
gentlemen that there was not rhe want OF
any attention in making an answer TO the
ultimatum, as the hon. member called it,
of the American Government. There was
another q~ueslion-nameiy, CT claims made
by citizens Of the state Of Maine TO parts
stated 10 belong to this country, which
has led To proceedings between the Lieu
tenant Governor OF New Brunswick, and
the authorities of the state of Maine.
That had led 10 some correspondence
which has appeared, and it Ind led 10 the
necessity of protecting the road and the
shores by which our troops moved from
New Brunswick TO Canada, and which it
was necessary to provide against, as gangs
of persons roved about or parts held not
to belong to either patty. He would not
go now into the general statement which
his right hon. friend the Secretary OF War
would presently MAKE, and he thought
that he (Mr. MacauIay) would show that
they were not liable 10 be charged with
asking for too great an estimate, if they
were 10 retain The means which were ne
cessary Tor preserving this great empire in
its state ofsafety, and at the same time OF
resisting expressions, from whatever part
they might come.
A London paper Of the 18th March,
gives the following -
/" II is on high authority we are enabled
to communicate TO the public, that the !
United States have made a proposition |
for the settlement of the Boundary be-
tween New Brunswick and the state of
Maine, which proposition will be rejected
by the British Government. We can fur
thermore confidently state it 10 be the in
tention Of Lord PALMERsToH, as o as
he is in possession of the entire report of
the Commissioners whom he appointed 10
survey the line, to address 10 the United
States the ult,maium of England calling
or that Government for the immediate re-
