MAINE AND NEW BRUNSWICK IN ARMS.

The dispute about the territory claimed by Maine, which we supposed was settled, in a negotiation between this Government and Great Britain, to the mutual satisfaction of both parties, it appears, by accounts from the north, is again revived, with increased excitement. It seems that lumber getters from New Brunswick were, and have been, committing extensive and wasteful depredations on the timber of the disputed territory; to prevent which, Maine sent her land agent, with a force of 150 or 200 men. Mr. Vinal, the agent, and several of his men, had occasion to separate from the body, and were captured, at night, by the opposing force who had got wind of the place where they lodged: the captives were taken off, and committed to Frederickton jail.

The New York correspondent of the National Intelligencer gives the following account:

"Affairs in Maine and on the Northeastern Frontier look very squally. Maine is in arms. The Legislature has appropriated, it is stated, $50,000, and the Governor ordered out 5,000 men, to meet the exigency. Sir John Harvey has called up the British regulars from St. John's; sent an express for more troops to Halifax; ordered the Provincial militia to the Aroostook, and, claiming exclusive jurisdiction over the disputed territory, is taking the means to exercise it. He has sent an express to Augusta, the capital of Maine, in which Governor Fairfield is acquainted with his determination, whereupon Maine is put into the greatest rage. Volunteers are drumming up -- militia regiments are called out -- major-generals issue general orders, and there is hubbub enough to bring Heaven and Earth together, if hubbub and humbug could do such a thing."
