By the arrival of the Liverpool steamer from New York,
in thirteen days, American newspapers have been received to the 7th instant. The- are generally barren of interest. Mr. WEBSTER has resigned his pretensions to the Presidential chair ; thereby, we presume, increasing Mr. CLAY'S chance of success. The propo- sition fbi' a new survey, preliminary to a settlement of the disputed boundary line between Maine and 'New Brunswick, is very un- palatable to the people of Maine ; and the Council of the State of Maine have declared it to be " wholly inadmissible." There are many rumours that another invasion of Canada, by French emi- grants and American Sympathizers, is projected ; and the tone of the papers in the British interest at Montreal would induce us to believe that serious grounds of apprehension exist ; but no facts are stated to confirm the suspicions and reports.
