THE SECOND INSTANCE.

A document has just been communcat.
ed to Congress, showing the number of Re.
movals from Office by the several Presl-
dents, since l7S9. On examination, we
find that Gen. DANIELS case, is the second
instance only since the foundatlon of the
Government, where a Public Officer has
been superseded in North Carolina. Nc
wonder therefore, that the People Sd ouid be
so excited about the matter, and that the
public sensibility should be 50 shocked

the Port of Plymouth, on the 18th Noyem-

GREAT BRITAIN AyD THE Z. STATES.

We regret to inform the public that The
dispute between the United States and
Great Britain, in relation to the North
Eastern boundary, has, for the present, as
sumcd an unfayorable aspect. 1t is under
stood at Washington, that Mr. Fox, the
British Minister, has respectfully declined
any further correspondence with the Sec
rotary Of State, until he receives further
adyices from his government, and that he
has written home, in no pleasant mood, for
instructions as to his future course. 1t
will be remembered that the last notes that
passed between Mr.. Fox and Forsyth, were
rather tart, and left the diplomatists COM
pletely at issue a. to matters of fact. Ii
the mean time, regiment of L. ). Ar
tillery has been ordered on to Maine, which
is now on it's march 10 the frontier. II is
also known, that some Members of Con
gress, intimately acquainted with the sub
ject, have expressed their serious appre.
tensions of immediate difficulty. 1t Is
proper that the public should be made &C.
quaiuted with the facts of the case, but we
still hope that justice, moderation and peace
may urnyoil - A Ier f,o-

still they elect Gen. Harrison by hand

to what position on the chess board may
