DEPARTMENT OF STATE,

Washington, 3lst March, 1Sf9.
Sir:-I transmit to you, with other papers
relating to the same subject, copy of report
from CAPTAIN Webster, commanding the Uni
ted States post at Fort Kent, in Maine, made
to Colonel Pierce, and transmitted to this De-
partment by the Secretary of War.
You will see nv this report that a gross vio-
lation of the Territory Of the United States
was perpetrated on the lih inst, by subor-
dinate civil officer of New Brunswick, counte-
nanced and encouraged, as ! am astOnished to
see, by the late Warden, Mr. Mclaughlin.
These functionaries it appears, have taken
upon themselves To decide that there is no
boundary line established as yet between Maine
and New Brunswick inasmuch as the late
treaty has not been confirmed by Parliament,
nor proclaimed by the local authorities of the
Province. They, therefore, attempt to exc
cute the civil process, by British authority,
south Of the St. Johns. II is to be hoped that
on becoming acquainted with the facts of an
outrage, committed under such presumptu-
Gus and pteposierous prctence, the Lieutenant
Governor will have taken prompt measures to
bring the perpetrators to condign punishment.
You will see that the constable, Craven, was
treated with far greater mildness and leniiy
than he deserved, by the authorities of the u
nited States and Maine.
have TO add that Captain Webster has
been informed through the proper medium of
proved.
have the honor 10 he, sir, with high con-
sideration, your obedenl servant.

FRIDAY, APRIL ID, lS43.

BY the subjoined correspondence it will be
seen that gross outrage has been committed
on our North Eastern frontier by British sub
jects, and by British authorities. The terrific
ry conceded in the late treaty by the British
Government to the United States, it would
seem, is to be very reluctantly surrendered, or
abandoned, by subordinate British official dig
nifty. Our government has treated the subject,
we think, and we believe the whole people will
think so, in the proper manner. We sincerely
hope and trust the British Government will al
80 do what is becoming and just in the preml-
SEES. The letter Of Mr. Fox leads US TO infer
that such will be the case.
