Five DaysLater from Europe.

we hourly expect the ARRIVAL OF the British Queen,
Captain keane, from Antwerp and Southampton,
with FIVE days later intelligence from all parts OF
Europe. Ii her news appear not in the MoTLins
Her4li, look out for Extra. Captain Keane may
bgiug intelligence of Sir Robert Peals death, tor he
was very sick on the th instant-and perchance the
death also o. the King OF France. Al any rate We
shall hear something of the quarrel between reel
and the tories and of the last attempt to assassnate
the Queen Of England We can get nothing later
from India or China.
THE Maine Boundary Question likely To DC
Settled at Last.
We have now direct and important intelligence
from Washington that this long disputed, difficult,
ana disagrecabe question is very nearly if not
finally settled
We have also received reduced copy of the Off
cia. map rendered by the Commissioners employed
on subject, which we have had engraved for the
Pu---~, aal which we publish to-day on the first
p..f "a 'u paper; as without il any statements in
t....H .lc stileiusut OF the question could not
understood
.a- nsil Of tAs negotiations is this The Uni.
s.. afl- ct4IiH.uCe IA. Inc al the head lake 81
-t CrCIA riyer, run II directly north 10 MaIs
li, thence due north, Till II strikes the 81. john,
rtver, al point few miles above the Great Falls
We then run the line along the course OF the st
Johns River, until 1t meets the ST. Francis River
The line then up the St Francis until II reaches
the southern outlet OF the upper lake on the 81
Francis. This Is the most norhery point of the
line The line then runs south west and by south
for 100 miles in straight line, at distance OF q
feet from the base of the mountains skrtng the st
Lawrence river, until 1t strikes the n. w. branch
ol the Tlver St Johns. Ii then runs due south tol
about 80 miles, until it strikes the :. w. branch OF
the ST Johns river after this II follows the course
OF that branch up 10 It's source in the mountains,
close to the source of the Penobscot and Metgar-
mette rivers, and terminates at the precise point
where the south westerly termination of the three
lines previously drawn by the United States, Great
Britain and the king of the Netherlands, were made
10 terminate.
The line in short, varies scarcely a mile either
way from that laid down on map as the line de-
fined by the King of the Netherlands. The tract
which we have given on the northeastern border
OF Maine is valuable TO Great Britain as strength
enlns her military position, but is not of much
importance TO us The extent of the territory can
be easily seen from the map
The General Government are to reimburse Maine
for her expenses In defending the disputed territory
ard Massachusetts, is to receive $50, 900 from the
United States, for her portion of the land which il
TO be given up
We get Rouse's Point on Lake Champlan and
the navigation of st. Johns river above the Falls
but, rs we have no access 10 them below the Falls
the free navigation of that river under these cir
cumstances is worth but little
Lord Ashburton Mr.. Webster and the Massachu-
sets Commissioners have all agreed to this ar
rangement. The Maine Commissioners have only
partially yielded they wish avoid responsibility.
and willing TO let this treaty be decided by the
L. :. Senate.
The locotocos are opposed to this treaty, whether
from party patriotic motives we shall see in
few days
