The very satisfactory intelligence has been received from the United

States of America, that the Boundary question approaches the last stages of formal settlement, and perhaps way has been made in the settlement of some other questions. The tranquillity of the Union, however-, was shaken by a fresh° internal question—a fourth exercise of the President's veto! The new Tariff-bill has been rejected by Mr. TYLER, because it in- volved the distribution of the proceeds of public land-sales among the several States; a sacrifice of revenue, he says, which the Union cannot afford. Of course he has some reasons for the proceeding, and he has stated them ; and there are no doubt those who have thought, in each case, that his reasons were good : but it must startle the Republicans to encounter these successive resorts to an ultra-royal privilege, intended to meet extreme cases of popular excitement, and so regarded by Mr. TYLER'S great predecessors. The fact is the more galling, in that Mr. TYLER was not elected to the Presidency : it fell to his lot by chance—he may almost be said to have succeeded to it by inheritance.
