FRIDAY. MARCH 13, 1839.. t THE WAR. Great anxiety prevail throughout the country, and particularly on our Noith Eastern frontier, about the lati diTicul ties betwseeu the Slate of Maincand tne British province of New Brunswick. We have not room for the documentary correspoadence wluch has recently tran spired on flio subject. TIe nature o the case may, however, be briefly com prehended in a few words. The precise boundary has never been settled be twen' the United States aud Great Bntain. t JJut measures are in progress foreti&ig it.i.Tbo tracL of i territory now in dispute between the two coun tries has, as we think, bccn heretofore under the pracucaJ jurisdictiont the provfqcial government " Io thowe may be mistakcii ; hut the drift of all Nve can at present gather" from the leading pa. pers, induces this bcllcC- It appears tolerably clear,, fiowever, that there is no express provision, by treaty or other, wise, by which the Uoiied Slate has gi yen up fniv jurisdiction. And tic on ly question at present is,1 as to w laVb na tion or,'w hcthcr either, fchali exercise the rights of jurisdiction &c in the mean time, before a final adju-lmcnt can take place. - , v - f It is true that very serious and de structive wars have broken out for no greater causes than this: bet we cannot suppose tk&i the two' Governments are likely so far to rniaconceivor disregard tlicir true in'ierests, as tomewafon tffis occasion, especially as t!ic matter is doubtless sosccpiiblo of an amicable accommodation. .- tWe onderstand from good authority that a niinnter will probably be des patched forthwith to England for the fciafpurpose of ncgoaatmgllie mat- ter, ia a friendly ;w ay. : Anditisaho rumored that the mission is likely to be conferred on Mr. Callwun.
