The Governor ot Maine considers. that.
~ carrying on the work referred to, the
State has done 20 more that is inconsistent
with The respective rights OF the parties,
than have the authorities OF her Majesty, :
province, IN constructing, and, recently, rs
II Is understood, in thoroughly repairing a
permanent mail road over large nnr,inn
.ni The territory north oi the ST. Johns.
The last allegation in Mr.. Fox's note,
forming cause Of complaint against the
State OF Maine relates To her management,
OF The lands npon the Aroostook. In this
particular, the undersigned is enabled u
observe that the proceedings complained II
dllier, IN no way, from those which Maine.
since her separation from Massachusetts.
und the last named State previously 10 IL :,
have ever pursued IN regard to the public
lands. For the last thirty years The Stale
has been occasionally surveying aud lot.

charitable, and religious purposes, and sell

herself, and that the discussions and nego-
tiations upon the Maine question OF boun-
Diary could not have the effect Of weaken
ing Der title 10. the rights she had SO long
been in the habit Of enjoying.
IL is with no lille surprise, that in the
face Of the complaints, which form the
subject Of Mr.. Fox's note, the President
has received intelligence Of her Majesty's
colonial authorities having recently sta
toned regiment OF regular troops part a,
the north and nart nj fhn sontb an,f az.
Lake Temiscouta, and of her Maiesly's
forces having commenced building barracks
on both sides of The ST.. Johns, at its con
huence with the Madawaska. Such pro-
ceedings on the part Of the agent Of the
British Government would, if true, con-
stitute such a fragrant coniraven,ion 10 The
existing understanding between the par
ties, that the President cannot but hope
that the report which has reached him OF
the occupation referred To, is founded upon
incorrect information.
The undersigned requests that Mr. Fox
will communicate To him such information,
il any, as be may have in his possession in
rsiaii.4n 10 tho oUi,jcUr, amt ttiat tie WIN,
by such representations as the circumstan-
ces, ii founded IN fact, will obviously sug-

and imprudence of such proceedings, and
of the unhappy consequences likely to al
tend their persistence therein.

The undersigned, Secretary of State OF
the United States, having, in pursuance
Of directions from the President, requested
the Governor oil Maine TO communicate TO
him such information as might be in his
possession in relation to complaint pre-
lerred by Mr.. Fox, Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary of Great Bri-
tain, in note dated the Cd ult., Of alleg-
ed encroachments on the part Of the State
of Maine upon the territory in dispute on
the Northeastern frontier of the United
States, is enabled, by recent communica-
ton from the Governor of the State, to lay
before Mr.. Fox, for the Information of his
Government, the following statements and
observations.
With reference 10 the first ground of
complaint, the undersigned is informed
that, early last spring, the land agent Of
Maine despatched small force, consisting
of about twenty-five men, 10 Fish river.
for the purpose of dispensing a band of
trespassers understood 10 have been opera
ting al that place, in consequence of which
the trespassers' camps were broken up,
some OF them driven of, and few, with
their teams, brought 10 the settlement on
the Aroostook, but subsequently released:
that the land agent, in further pursuance
Of what he deemed his dufv, again sent
a party of about the same number OF men
to the mouth Of Fish river, 10 extend
boom across tin order 10 prevent the Tim
Der, which had been cut by the trespas-
sers, from being driven out into the St.
Johns, and to hinder further depredations
By cutting. The object Of the expedition
had been accomplished, and the party re-
manned on the ground al the date Of the
Governors commUnic alton.
So Tar the undersigned is unable To per-
ceive that anything has been done BY the
people Of Maine, in any wsy contravening
the spirit Of the agreement entered into
North American. [volume] (Swanton, Vt.) 1839-1841, 1840-02-12

tween her NJ slesiy's possessions and The
Republic of the United States, definitely
recognized and decided upon By the two
Governments, either through the attain.
ment oil the true line Of the treaty OF 1888,
or through the adoption of conventional
line her Msjesty's Government will have
10 rely upon the Federal Government OF
the United States, in conjunction with the
Government of her Majesty, to assert and
carry out the decision, whatever may be
the views and pretensions OF the inhahi-
tants of the State Of Maine notwiths,and-
ing.
But il is evident that the establishment,
IN the mean time, OF new interests, and
The growing up, as it were, nj new proprie-
tary claims upon the land which are yet in
dispute, may end by embarrassing the ac-
ton OF both Governments; Of the Govern
ment TO whom the district shall be finally
allotted, and of the Government which
will be called upon definitely TO relinquish
1T.
The same argument has been held, and
the same principle has been contended for
BY the Government of the United States
no less than by the Government of Great
Britain. II will be in the immediate re-
collection Of the Government Of the United
States, that when, in the year 1887, an
aledged act, or design rather, Of encroach-
ment, Of far less direct or Objectionable
character than the operations referred to
10 the present note, namely, the survey OF
a projected line of railroad from @ uebec to
ST. Andrews, passing through part Of
the disputed territory, was complained of
and demonstrated against by the Presi-
dent, her Majesty's Government immendi-
ately consented TO order the survey 10 be

United States will now, on their part, be
guided by similar and reciprocal DISPOSE
lion.
The undersigned, therefore, while pro-
testing, in the first place, formally, in the
name Of his Government, against the acts
Of encroachment by the people Of Maine,
above enumerated and complained Of, ur-
gently, also, and for the ends of peace and
good will, appeals to the Government Of
the United States to cause those acts OF
TO be desisted from, in order
that whenever practical adjustment of
the line of boundary shall be obtained, no
minor or incidental occasions Of dispute
may remain TO obstruct that final and
n
which the undersigned feels persuaded il is
the equally earnest desire of both Govern
ments to accomplish.
The undersigned avails himself OF the
occasion to renew 10 the Secretary of
State Of the United States the assurance
of his distinguished consideration.
