Lord Ashburton is believed to have held
out long for the entire Madawaska settle

SAID to have been as Immovable as any
tour pihe stumps on the disputed territory.
So Name, under the arrangement, goes 10
the river st. Johns. 1t is not unlikely,
we learn, that the line which the Dutch
arblter decided for, the line of the St.
Johns and the st. Francis, will be agreed
to. But then Maine gets, what the Dutch
hing did not give her, the navigation OF
the river and this treblcs the value of all
her tall pune trees. estwardly of the

supposed that oil remaining questions, in
That iar-oil world, will be settled.
As to the various other questions, not
connected with boundaries, which are the
subject of negotiation, nothing is known.
Every body is hard nj work, however, and,
Judging from meas faces, when met with
IN public, we should say il is expected that
every thing viii come out about right.
Though, as we have already intima,cd,
NC speak without authority, we have no
doubt Of The general truth OF what we have
stated above.
1t cannot be necessary for us here to re.
new the expression Of our satisfaction al
this arrangement Of the Boundary line,
and at the prospect Of a settlement Of all
differences between the United States and
Great Britain: nor need we repeat the
thanks which, we have already said, are
due 10 the Presiden, of the Unrcd States
for the coIrsp which he is understood to
have pursued on this occasion, and 10 the
distinguished Neeotaiurs on both sides, 10
whom IL will he honor enough for ordinary
ambition TO have been instrumental aud
Influential in tho adjustment Of differences
which have been heretofore found SO for
midable and so repclIing.
The Treaty, which is 10 ombody the re.
suits of this important Negotiation, viii be
hailed, we have no doubt, with unaIloyed
satisfaction BY all truo statesmen of our
land, and by all the friends Of peace, hu-
mainly, and rational liberty, not only in
this country, but all tho world over. Some
exceptions there may be OF hearts so cal.

flowing from the reciprocal good will and
common interests of two great and free
nations. But it is a pleasure to believe
that they arc few IN number, aud will not
be able to influence TO any dangerous ex.

How much better is this for both nations than
10 have gone to war How much has each OF
them gained, not only in the mere elements of
commercial and industrial prosperity, but in dig
