with Great Britain. The COM
munication of Mr.. Fox is inso-
lent and insulting in the high
est degree-that of Mr.. For
syth is timid and cowardly, and
such as should cause the blush
of shame to mantle the cheek OF
every American jealous of his
country's honor. The conduct
of our government is unaccoun-
table, and proves beyond all
doubt the existence of British
influence in our country TO a
most alarming extent. Every
insult and indignity is to be
pocketed and tamely submitted
10, lest a war may be the direful
consequence. For our part
there is nothing that would suit
us better than war with Great
Britain. We have Il hundred
outrages and insults to avenge,
which can be done efiectually
and satisfactorily only on the
battle field. Let the avenging
! blade be drawn then-let the
banner of the free be unfurled,
and let the war end only with
the extinction Of the last vestlge
of British supremacy on the
American continent. In the
patriotic language of the Old
tDominion, If the Executive
is willing to be trampled upon
by British puppyism & s-tism,
we are not. We would rather
at once buckle on the armor of
freemen, and fight till the death,
or calmly take up the chains OF
slavery, than claim to be free
men, and fear to strike the
blow for liberty. The inso-
lence of Britons has become

From the Bangor Democrat
NORTH EASTERN BOUNDARY

From information upon which reliance
can be placed 1T appears the British hadlast
Oct at the post at Temiscouta Lake about
twenty men, and the force now sta
toned there exceeds two hundred. Thai
during last summer and fall, new commo-
dous ana permanent barracks were built at
the poin, where the Grand Portage strikes
the Temisconia Lake, and that bargeS and
boats have there been collected for use on
the Lake: and that while Mr. Fox was wri-
ting his official denial, the British were,
& still are, erecting breast work OF pals
des, with port holes, around the barrack $,
and making warlike preparation.
1--WE have known these facts for several
weeks, from sources upon which we. place
reliance, and The accuracy of which the de-
NAL OF Mr.. Fox does not cause US 10 ques-
ton.
''General Varnum, oil Portland, late a
member Of tue Executive Council of this
State, passed through this City last Salur-
day, and he, having been at the Lake, and
passed one night there, eorroborated the
above statement, as to The present posture
of affairs. We say 10 theGeneral Govern
iUthl, uc Bft uttCRtU w luis UidtitE.
'In addition To the above, we give the
following affidavit from Mr.. Little, who
was at Temiscoula in October last, and is
now ia tins city:
:" certify that went TO Temisco0ia
Lake last October bv The direction of Col.
Charles Jarvis, Provisional Land Agent
that there were then q Surgeon, Commits
sarv, Bafraek Master and Sergeant, and
about 90 men under the command of the Ser
geant-there was no other force stationed
there. The Sergeant told me that this
force was placed there last June, and there
had been no other. The British were
bniIding two barracks, each building about
eighty feet Inag and thirty feet wide, stu
aied parallel with each other, one end TO
the Lake and Two stories high.

"A bile upon the stomach IL always requisite Tor
the promotion Of Sound hcalth-it stimulates diges-

distractions. On the inferior surfaces Of the liver,
is a peculiar bladder, in which the bile is FIRST pre-
served, being formed by the liver from the blood.
Thence it passes into the stomach and i"testilses,
and regulates the indigestion. Thus we see, when
there IS a deficiency Of bile, the body Is coastaatiy
~cos,ive. On the other hand, an overabundanee Of
bile causes frequent nausea at the stomach; and
often promotes very severe attacks Of d'sease,
which sometimes end in death.
