The undersigned, Her Britlanic Maes-
tvs Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenepotentiary, has been instructed by his
government to make the following conmu-
nication to the Secretary of STATE of the
United States, in reference to the boun-
Diary negotiation, and the affairs Of the dis
puted territory.
Her Majesty's Government have had M
der their consideration the official note ad
dressed TO the undersi igned by the Secrc-
tary of State of the United States, on the
24th Of last December, in reply to note
from the undersigned Of the Cd November
proceeding, in which the undersigned pro-
tested, in the name Of bis Government,
against the extensive system of aggression
pursued by the people ofthe State Of Maine
within the disputed territory. to the preju-
dice the rights of Great Britain and I'D
manifest violation of the provisional agree
ments entered into between the authorities
ofthe two countries a, the beginning the
last year.
Her Maesty's Government have also
had their attention directed to the public
message transmitted by the Governor of
Maine to the Legislature of The State, on
the Sd of January of the present year.
Upon a consideration Of the statements
contained in these two official documents
her Majesty's Government regret to find
that the principal acts of encroacbment
which were denounced and complained Of
on the part of Great Britain, so far from
being either disproved, or discontinued, or
satisfactorily explained by the authorities,of
the State OF Maine, are on the contrary
persisted in. and publicly avowed.
Her Majesty's Government have conse-
quently instructed the undersigned once
more formally to protest against those acts
of encroachment and aggression.
Her Majesty's Government claim and
expect from the good faith ofthe United
States, that the people OF Maine shall re-
place themselves IN the situation in which
they stood before the agreements of last
year were signed; that they shall there
fore retire from the valley of the st. John.
and confine themselves to the valley in a
temporary manner only, for the purpose,
as agreed upon. of preventing depreda-
tions; and that they shall not construct for
tifcations, nor make roads or permanent
settlements.
Until this be done the people of' the
State of Maine, and so long rs that people
shall persist in the present system of ag-
gression, her Majesty's Government will
feel it their duty to make such military ar,
rang as may be required for the pro-,
lection of her Majesty's rights. And her
Maesty's Government deem it right to de-
claro that if the result Of the unjustifahle.

We notice with much satisfaction thatSthe
Wings of the Union generally have adopted the
plan of establishing public Wing Reading Rooms,
in which the latest intelligence vii, always be
found, and to which all are invited for the pnr-
pose of obtaining correct political information.
The Wings of Bath, it gives us pleasure to state,
have not been behind their brethren in the good
work. They have procured fine room on the
lower floor of one of the stores in the brick block
on Front street, and have fitted it up with every
convenience. 1t is well supplied with the best
Wing journals from all parts of the country, and
affords favorable opportunity for those who wish
to learn the news of the day and the transactions
in the political and commercial worlds to procure
such intelligence. 1t is free to all, and all will
be welcome to avail themselves of its facilities.
Our friends in this and other States, will confer
favor by transmitting to the Room political doeu
ments and other information of Importance. This
will be attended with but little trouble to them,
and will materially contribute to the utility of
the establishment Our opponents are unceas-
ing in their efforts to secure the continued
dancy of their party, and the utmost endeayors
on part, are required to counteract their de-
signs. Win our friends abroad attend to the a.

Mn. WEBSTER IN THE Sick CHAMBER
The Washington papers of Saturday men,
ton the death, at Browns Hotel, of a
young man from Massachusetts, (Nathan-
el Ray Thomas, aged 81, who was taken
sick four or FIVE weeks ago in that city
while on his way to the west. This young
gentleman belonged to family residing
near Mr.. Webster's farm in Marshfeld,
and that gentleman's absence from the
Senate, for some time past is attributed to
the devotion which he felt it his duty TO
pay to his dying young friend, at so
great C distance from his family. The
Madsonian says
We may be permitted TO add that the
scenes of this death bed were of very af-
fecting character, and we feel that in alud.
ing to them we shall be doing scarcely
justice to that great goodness Of heart
which is only eaualled by the universally
acknowledged greatness Of the intellect oI
Mr.. Webster. Our experience renders
toubly poignant those sympathic emotions
which we can neither resist feeling nor ex-
pressing, in view of the suffering Of this
youth, and the affecting tenderness and
devotion of his distinguished friend.
Days ana nights, almost without inter-
rupton, we are Informed by friend who
was frequently present, Mr.. Webster hung
over his uneasy pillow, and with all the af-
fectionate kindness of father, soothed
his pangs. and quieted the mental excite.
ment with which he was afflicted. He did
not stand by to see others attend, but him
self engaged in the Office fprinciple nurse,
and it was evident that while the disturbed d
mind Of the sufferer was unable to recog-
nize other friends, the kind voice and
ministerlng hand of Mr.. Webster were al
ways gratefully recognised by the dying
youth, and often an approaching paroxysm
Of insanity and convulsion was allevatcd
or prevented by his embracing him andkis-
sing his burning cheek.
