A gentleman has Just arrived here from Ney;
Brunswick, ~ s., WHO states that, on the goth of
February Col Etcourt left Frederickton for the
scene of operations on the North. Eastern Bounda-
ry with his sappsr5 and miners. The additional
corps of sappers Ind miners recently arrived from
England have COVE to join Col. E. On the other
hand, our Commissioner, Mr.. Albert Smith, is de-
| tained in Washington, and is likely to be here
some time, because the Loco-Fo majority will
not make an appropriation TO 'enabae him to buy
provisions, hire men, &C., to 60 on with the work
on the part of the United States. Beautiful is it
not: The real and important business of the coun-
try neglected, whilst the time Of the House is ia
ken up in discussing the merits Of the .Don War,
and examining parcel Of loafers sent On here from
Rhode Island to testify to the aoings of the Five
Point renegades and wretches'a Chepachet. II
learn from the Hon. Henry A. Wise that he
is detained also for want of an appropriation with
out which he cannot sail, as there is no money APP
plicable to this purpose. Will not the People re-
member this conduct Of Loco-Foco majority at
the coming Eaectienss "2''&9s. 80 y ...

Merrck's bill will pass the Senate with some

to extend the 5 cent distance over 100 miles and

posed in hisjudgement by all parties But, strange
to say, found him very sanguine THAT he would
be able to bring about the Annexation of Texas
