THE STEAMER CAROLINE ~ THE BoUN
DAIRY QUESTION.

In another part of this paper will be found n
,hort but interesting debate in the House OF Rep.
rcsentatives touching recent correspondence be-
tween the Department of State and the British
Minister Mr. Fox, in relation to the Steamer Caro-
limo. The correspondence is published, but as the
spir,t and substance of 1T is embodied in the debate
it is no, necessary that should print it. In
another column of the paper will also be noticed an
article from the Montreal Gazette, the tone of
which is truly British, and any thing else but pa.
cic.
Taking these two questions into consideration,
the prospec, before us is rather dubious The for
mer has been delayed till taken up by;N. York, and
il is now a controversy between sovereign State
of his Union and Great Britain; but which must,
If carried to extremes, become n controversy be-
tween the two nations The latter question has
of late. been involved in diplomatic fog and misti-
ness not calculated, it is apprehended, to hasten
tho peaceful settlement Of it, but rather 10 give
John Bull The privilege ofimproving whatever OF
advantages to be derived from procrastnaiion.
These advantages have been improved, and we
now witness a spirit OF Dol defiance towards US
in the subjects Of Great Britain, mot in the Gov
err ment itself Yet, if the Presidents last mes
sage be tue, matters are in a fair way of adjust
ment, and Martin will probably continue to think
thus till the British begin to batter down the walls
of The White House with their cannon. He was
so stunned in The late election by Old Tips artill-
cry that he cannot hear thunder down East.

North Star of the SIh ,-. 30.
"There general and full attendance at the
meeting of the Young Mems Temperance Society,
for Caledonia County, held in this village on Tues
day last, the proceedings Of which will be found in
another column. Harmony, good feeling, ANNA
lion, ability, and an untring devotion to the cause
characterized the occasion. Most of the speakers
exhibited much warmth of expression, tempered
by candor, and commanded the undivided attention
ofthe audience, maj ority Of which was composed
of young ladies and gentlemen from this and the
neighborng towns Col. Miller, who was acciden
tally present, and MIR Wells, who gave some facts
relative to the great reformation in Ireland, were
listened to with deep attention Our only regret is,
that the officers didnot give some statistical 9TH
er facts, whereby we might judge of the progress
which has been made in the cause the past year in
this county.
The choir did honor to themselves and the occa-
sion. The closing ode was not only appropriate
in sentiment, but in its performance by the singers,

THE BRITISH TROOPS AT MADAWASKA.
The following article, which copy from the

comment. 1t speaks for itself.
awe understand that His Excellency tie Gov.
General, has most emphatically declared that
he will not remove any OF the troops recently
sent by his orders the Madawaska territory, and
that he considers Sir JotnHarvey too courteous by
great deal, in notifying the bragadocio Governor
Of Maine that a detachment of British troops had
taken up position. This augurs well, for his
Exceency must have had positive instructions
from The Imperial Government, that the territory
TO be kept, and the report Of Mr.. Featherston-
haugh and Nudge acted on, he would not have
taken so bold n stand.
Captain Miller left town yesterday with despatch
es to His ExcelIcncy Sir John Harvey. This de-
,achment of troops has been sent for the purpose
of aiding tho civil magistrates in tie execution OF
the laws Of the Province, and protecting the rights
OF Her Majestys subjects. Sir John stated to gov.
field that he had not any thing do with
the matter and that he had advised the Governor
General to order the Withdrawal of the troops and
substitute an armed civil posse, amply sufficient
for all the purposes for which the troop was in
tended. This said above, His Excellency
has declared his determination not to do and when
once he says he will will not do so and so, our
readers may rest assured he will stick to it,"
