ced that all apprehension have ceased
| NORTH EASTERN BoUSDARY-There is nothing
new officially in regard 10 this question Several
writers in the papers, and among the namber Is the
Hon. Mr.. Gushing, member Of Congress, from Mas
sachusets have exposed, with great ability the alb
| surd misstatement in the report Of Messrs. Nudge
| and Feathersteahaugh. Mr.. Gushing has dissected
it with great power of sarcasm The report is shown
to be the mercst stuff imaginable. There is
growing confidence in the amicahle adjustment of
this difficulty and better feeling prevailing along
the frontier.
There is another question Of territory that will
soon be surrounded with more difficulties and en-
barrsssments than that northeastern frontier.
We allude to the Oregon Territory in the north
west. II is time that the question Of jurisdiction
over the territory, now mooted by the English and
this government, was examined, and the fact clear
y ascertained and settled, whether We are entitled
to that couatry, is generally believed, or whether
the English claim it by the laws of nations.
The longer that the adjustment of this question is
delayed, the difficult it will be to come to an
amicable settlement. The Hudson Bay Company
already act as if the whole Of the country west
of the Rocky Mountains belonged TO Great Britain,
to the great detriment of American citizens, who
are engaged in similar undertakings, and are strug
Cling with difficulties thus thrown in their way
CANADA.--The union Of the two provinces
seems 10 be generally acceptable to the people, so
far as we can judge from the tone Of the press Go.
vernon Thompson was suffering under severe indis-
position at the last advices. The rumor Of his in
tended departure is entirely discredited, and he 10
increasing in popularity. There is no great degree
of asperity exhibited either side Of the line.

not now, as formerly, run into malevolence. The
approaching election, in portion OF Lower Canada,
is the topic of much discussion in the papers, and
manv of the candidates the Colonial Assembly are
canvassing their respective districts with much
siduity The crops are represented to be unusually
fine all over the provinces.
TExAs.-Many of the difficulties incidental TO
ne W government are gradually disappearing before
the judicious management Of the Administration
of President Lamar. The financial affairs Of the
young republic, however, still in sad conditions
but the great resources of the country will eventu-
ally carry them through. The Cumanche Ind ians
made an Eruption the frontier and destroyed some
property, but they were soon repelled. The efforts
of certain individuals enlist the sympathies Of the
Texans in behalf of the Federalists Of Mexico and
to engage their istance against the Centrasts,
were wisely discountenanced by the government,
and have now mainly ceased. The commerce OF
Texas is gradually and steadily increasing, and va
riety of new agricultural articles have been lntre-
duced, which promise TO be Of great profit to the
growers. Among the rest, is tobacco Some expe-
rimen,s have shown that very superior quality of
tobacco can be raised there. The soil Of Texas is
extremel " fertile, and this will no doubt become
impo rtant product.
MExIco.-Our advices from Vera Cruz are upto
the 18th Of August; and from the capitol TO the l7th
The civil war in the capital at an end, at least
for the time being II is difficult TO get at the pre-
else results Of the struggle in Mexico Our as-
counts have principally come through the orgass OF
the Central party and they of course deprecate the
ad vantages gained by their opponents but IT is not
be concealed that the Fede ralists have acquired
position that renders them extremely formidable: IL
is gene rally believed that Urea will retire to the
province Of Tamaulipas, and it is easy to foresee
that the strife is merely put of, provided the fede-
ralis;s find some sympathy among the people. In
fact, according the terms Of the convention the
insurgen forces not to be dispersed, but are to
march to place to be appointed by the commander
n-ehief Of the CentralIsts
