Gentlemen, I do not wish to concoul from y ou who are so much interested in tho mat. rr, that the investigations in which I have iitrn of Into engaged, have produced results which ought to influence Governments that ileal ie no territorial acquisitions at tho ex. penso of justice and the reference duo to Treaties, as I sm persuaded, is the case , with the two Governments now ncgociating on this important subject. The defective information it is hoped and believed can bo supplied. I say ibis rauqh because the rumor is being busy about (no declared intention of the State of Maine to proceed in taking possession of the whole territory in dispute, without awaiting the peaceful proceed, ings now in progress betwixt the Federal Government and that of Her Majesty. I do not b< lieve in these rumors. The Stoto of Maino sets too high a value upon the pen *o now happily subsisting between two countries, and will, I have no doubt, await ^ mr ronsiruiionni action ol their National W Government." The amount of all tins is. unless both Governments ngrea to compromise, by "uplit'ingthe difference," they are as far from d Neiih ment nsevor. And if so, they will us usual quarrel for a million till they spend fifty in lliuns, and then end as tliey begun.
