PORTSMOUTH, (N. H.) May 28.

We are credibly informed that, should the lower counties in the district of Maine succeed in their endeavors to have that district set off as a separate State, the inhabitants of the county of York will use their united exertions to be annexed to this State.

The proximity of the above county to this State, the habits of intimacy between the inhabitants, and their relative situation both in an agricultural and commercial view, must render such a connection not only politic as a local, but highly judicious as a national measure.
