The NORTH EASTERN BouNpARY.--The New
York Albion is paper published weekly in the city
OF New York. the principal objects of which are, to
condense English news for the information of the
Americanized English. and of the American public:
and to present views of British concerns and poll
tics, such are in general accord with the spirit of
The Ministry of Great Britain. This is done tenn
perately and las far as we know bamelessIy in a
foreign spirit to be sure, but in spirit Of general
amity and good will to our country.


In the last number of the Albion, the Editors of
this paper called upon in a manner so earnest.
and in terms so very polite that the call cannot well
be resisted, to state their of the present state
of the controversy between the United States and
Great Britain, concerning the North Eastern Boun
Diary between the territories of the two countries.-


The article in the Albion, to which refer, is in
the following words


NORTH Eastern Boundary. This is daily be-
coming an object Of important. not to say alarming
consideration for the people of both countries and
it is really lamentable to the bad feeling the sub
iect is creating on the lines, and the avdity with
which persons give currency to untricndly and in
furious reports of all kinds. All the difficulty that
has yet taken place. has occurred the territory
now under negotiation between the two governments,
and which il is understood shall remain in the hands
of its present possessors until the subject is finally
settled. Therefore as the territory is, and always
has been, within the sovereignty of Great Britain.
the acts of certain persons. in hosting the Amer-
ran Flag, interceptng the mail, &c are not only
Illegal, but in opposition to the known wishes of the
american Cabinet. The British government has.
at the request of the American. withheld further
grants of lands than those already made; & prohibited
the cutting of timber on the unappropriated lands,
until the result of the negotiation is known Should
not, then. all attempts the part of the citizens Of
the United States. to disturb the sovereignty of the
soil. be discontinued not only with the view Of pre-
serving the friendly relations between the two 60
vernments, but to prevent the unpleasant collisions
the bare recital of which tends excite such unpea
! SAINT feelings :


"If we correct, and we believe we are, that
General Baker was arrested on what is technically
and practically British territory, and that this ter
ritory remains under the jurisdiction of Great Bri
tain bv the right of possession. and by the acques
cense of the American government until the ques
tion to whom it shall ultimately belong, be settled
an article in the National Itelfgencer to this effect
will be productive Of the best consequences. w,
make our appeal to the National Aatelhgencer. from
the accurate means of information it is supposed II
have, and from the high character and respectabilit
always enjoyed by that Journal"
