The Maine Boundary.-We copy the
subjoined paragraph from the New York
Gazette. The New York Star, which has
lately given good deal Of attention TO the
subject of the boundary dispute, and ap.
pears to speak advisedly, says that the
paragraph may be relied on, as expressing
truly the views Of the administration. III.
Important from Washington--A letter
was received in this city yesterday from a
distinguished Administration member 'ot
the United States Senate, we'll known to
be in the confidence Of Mr. Van Bnreh,
stating that, should the views of the Brit
ish Government be carried out regarding
the North Eastern Boundary question as
expressed IN Mr.. Fox's letters, it would
unquestionably lead to collision between
tho two Governments and the oply hope
was, that the British Government would
not sanction the avowals made through
their Minister, of their determination to
occupy the disputed territory. The re.
turn Of the British Queen, which takes
out Mr.. Forsyth's reply to Mr.. Fox. will
be looked tor with great anxiety-as by
her we may expect the reply Of her Ma
lesty's Ministers, as well as the report o.
Mr.. Fealhurstonhaugh and Col. Nudge
her commissioners to examine the boun
dary Lines.
