FoxO in relation to the "North East Boun-
dary." Mr.. Fox complains that our govern
ment has openly violated the provisional
agreement entered into some twelve months
since, between the authorities of the two

ment, protests against these encroachments,

pie of Maine, Ler Majesty will feel it her du-
ty to make such military preparations as may
be required for the protection Of her Males
tvs rights. In reply, Mr.. Forsyth denies
that Maine or The federal government have
violated the agreement referred 10, and at
the same time. regrets that the adjustment Of
this question has been attended with unlock
ed for delays on the part Of Inc British gov
eminent. He desires that the whole subject
may be r~sfcr.ed to the arbitrament of a third
party, and insists that her Majesty's govern
men; shall desist from all M Military interior
