Martinsburg Gazette And Public Advertiser

The St. Johns, N. B. paper of April 26th, states that the "Commander in Chief has directed the Quarter Master General of the Militia Forces to prepare a proper place of Deposit for Arms for the Militia of the Province, and the means also of transporting the same on immediate notice, to any part of the Province." This order has been made in consequence of American troops being ordered to be stationed at Houlton.

FREDERICTON, April 22.

A strong sensation has been made here, by the arrival of a Despatch, by Express, from the British Minister at Washington, to the Lieutenant Governor; and some rumours of a very serious nature have accordingly been circulated. We understand that the American Government, having communicated in a friendly manner to the British Minister, the intention of sending a detachment of troops to be stationed in the acknowledged Territory of the United States, within the line traced by the British Commissioners, from Mars Hill, it was considered expedient to apprize the Lieutenant Governor of this measure as soon as possible, and likewise to make him acquainted with the explanations and assurances, which had been given to the British Minister by the American Government, and which, we are happy to learn, are such as have been satisfactory to the British Minister, as the intentions and objects of the Government of the United States.
