rive are glad to perceive that the subject
OF our North Western Boundary, and the en-
croachments ofthe British in that quarter, as well
as those on the Northeast, has been called IN
in Congress. We trust that it will not be permit
ted as it has been too often already, to be thrown
aside for other and far less important topics. Ii
not put in train for adjustment now, we are con-
fident that it will early receive the attention of
President Harrison, and we sincerely hope that
this most important of all the vexed questions

acts, left undone by his unworthy predecessors,
completed and set at rest by him.

RUSSIA AND KIIIVA,

The last number of the Gazette Of ST. Peters
burg contains an official account of the settle.
ment OF the differences between Russia and the
Khan of Khiva.
This settlement will secure the peace of Cen.
trail Asia from the disturbance to which it has
been exposed and by means of it a question is
got rid OF which might have become source of
jealousy between Russia and England.
According to this account, the settlement is
the result of the consent of the Khan to give full
satisfaction to the Emperor of Russia for the in.
jures Of which he Acknowledgements as
the Khan is from Russia by deserts presenting
formidable obstacles to the passage of troops,
that Prince may have presumed rather too much
on that circumstance ; but he will find it to be
his interest not unnecessarily to provoke his
powerful neghbor to undertake fresh attempt
against him. On the other hand, we may as.
sumo that the Russians, unless they have some
very serious injuries to complain OF, will find
little disposition to make future attemptwhich
whatever the result must be attended by a great
sacrifice of men and money

"A letter from correspondent at Derby Line,
VT states that party of young men from that
vicinity belonging this side of "the Line" were
engaged few days ago in fishing thru ugh the
ice in Lake Memphremagog when they were
met by party from Stanstead in Canada, some
six miles distant, engaged in a similar business.
a dispute arose between two Of them, one from
each party, on the old "patriot" question, and
the others were finally drawn in and they had
regular fight OF it, The party from Derby finally
succeeded IN driving away their opponents; but
not until there were some "black eyes and
bloody noses" on both sides. The people in
the vicinity had become aroused by this quarrel,
and long smothered prejudices was struggling
for vent. Further outrages were threatened
on both sides, and it was rumorcd at the date of
the letter that party from Canada were already
on the march to attack and burn the premises
of one Of the most obnoxious "patriots' on this
side of the Line. A large number of his neigh

BALTIMORE, Jan. l0-For few weeks past we have
refraned from publishing accounts OF certain robocr-
les of the mail from the west to New York; and points
beyond it, of which we had information lest the extent

FIVE DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND.
The Liverpool packet ship Patrick Henry,
Capt Delano, arrived yesterday, in a remark
ably short passage, for she sailed on the 18th
ultlmo, and brings us Liverpool papers of that
date, and London OF the preceding day
The news brought us by this vessel is entirely
unexpected. 1t is, that Spain and Portugal,
which have scarcely emerged from the horrors
OF civil war, are about to engage in hostities
against each other, the pretext being on the
part of Spain, the navigation Of the Duoro, which
Portugal had conceded to her by treaty, has not
virtually been given to her. We copy from a
London paper some remarks on the subject. 1t
is probable that the Intervention of England
will prevent matters coming to extremities.
The French Chamber and the French press,
as matter of course, is now busily engaged in
discussing the question OF the Notifications of
Paris. These it appears have not been dscon-
tinued, as was reported.
The accounts of the state of the Liverpool
cotton market are rather of more favorable
character than they have been for some time
past.
Arobbery to a considerable extent had been
committed on the Manchester Bank, some I'm.
known person having applied to and obtained
from the post Office the letters directed to the
institution. Many of the Bills Of Exchange
thus purloined are drawn in this country.

FOREIGN MISCELLANY.

Itwii, be seen by the following extract from
the London Times how much Importance is at
tached to the treaty lately concluded between
the British government and that of Texas. The
concluding sentence of the Times article
"speaks 'eollumeS," as Sam Weller says.
In 1885, with comparatively small popua-
ton, and at no time with more than 1000 men
in the field, they defeated and made prisoner
General Santa Anna, the President of Mexico,
and since that period they have remained in un.
disturbed possession of the country. The form
OF government they have established is modelled
after that Of the United States, avoiding the
federatiye system They have decreed tolera
ton in religion, and by an article in their consti-
tuition, have declared the slave trade piracy.
l'hey have adopted, it is said, code of laws as
simulated to the common law of England Du-
ring the late struggle in Mexico, the Texans
we are assured, had the moderation to decline
taking part with either side, though they had the
tempting offer from Federalsts OF an immediate
declaration of independence as the price of their
adhesion. They succeeded in 1897 in obtaining
such recognition from the United States from
France in lS39, and from the government of
Holland and Belgium during the present autumn.
The moral blot upon Texas, in the opinion of the
people ofthi' country will be the existence in il
OF domestic slavery; but it seems to be under
more control and better management in that
respect than many much older states.
the statements which have been made to
us on this subject are correct, it is of Unite ey
tent, and confined, by law, to emigrants from the
United States, who are alone permitted TO emf
CRATE with their slaves. This could not, how
ever, have formed any just bar to the recognition
of its independence. All that can be locked for
is the exertion of the moral influence Of England
in putting an end as soon ms possible, To such
state q things. and the cordial rz!stancs Of the
