Mi-lister complains that Maine occupies a part of the disputed territory, which she is not au:horis<HJ, under the arrangement of last year, to occupy. Strong threats ure made of exp ll ng fh" citizens of Maine by military force. Mr Forsyth on the contrary, insists that M i in", ^ has a right un ler the agreement to occupy the territory, with a posse to protect the tmi.

John, and, confine themselves to jhe valley of th" Aroosook ; that they shjll o<*. cupy that valley in a temporary m inner only, for tlie purpose, as agreed up, of pre venting depre iat ons ; and that they shall not construct fortifications, nor make roads or permanent settlement. - 1 Until this be done by the people of the ( State of Maine, and so lohg as that people ' shall persist in the present system of aggression, her Majesty's Government will , feel it their dury to mak? such military arrangements as may be requited for the pto- | tection of her Majesty's rights. And her Majesty's GovernmerFt deem it right to declare that if th?? result of the unjustifiable proceed ngs of the State o* Mane should be collision between her.

From Mr. Forsyth's reply, dated, March 4 gbtk. *'- :y As to possession and jurisdiction, they weroto remain unchanged, each party holding, in fact, possession of the disputed ter. ntory, but each denying the right of the other to do so. With that understanding, Maine was, without unnecessary delay, to withdraw her military force, leaving only, under a land agent* a small civil posse, armed or unarmed* to protect the timber recently cut, and to prevent further depredations. In the comphin's of infractions of the agreements of tho State of Maine, addressed J to the undersigned, Mr. Fox has assumed j two positions, which are not authorized by lite terms of those agreements: 1st ad. muting the right of Maine to maintain a civil) posse in the disputed territory for the pur. i poses stated in the ngrernvnt, he djps so j with the restriction that the action of the nn?sn wn? tr? be confined within certain lim. 1 its ; and 2J, by making tho advance of the Maine posse into the valley of the Upper St. John, the ground of his complaint of encroachment upon the Madawaska settle, meat beyond those it occupied at the date of the agreement. The United States cannot acquiesce in either of these positions. In the first place, nothing is found in the agreement subscribed to by Governor Fairfield and Sir John Harvey, tiffining any Inn its in the disputed territory within which the 1 operations of the civil posse of Maine were to be circumscribed. Tno taskfof preserving the timber recently cut. and of prevent, ing further depredations within the disputed territory, was assigned to tho State of Mum-; fier her military force should have been withdrawn from it; and i: was to be accomplished by a civil posse, armed or unarm* d. which was to continue in the territory, and to operate ?o every part of it w here its agen. cy might be required to protect the timber already cut, and prevent further -Jepredaf. i ii nounced in the Augusta Const utionalst as having been appointed aids to the Gov Trior, with the rank of Colonel.
