From this correspondence it will plainfully be perceived, that the only ground of the proceedings of the Government of Maine, which were confidentially communicated by the letter of the Governor of the 5th inst. covering the resolutions of the Legislature appro vad by him, was in letters from Mr. Preble, the Agen of that State at Washington, expressing his opinion i regard to the expediency of the proposed arrangement and that of the representatives of that State in Con gress, in letters addressed to him, which opinions were formed from circumstances unofficially within their knowledge, and that these communications are now considered by the Governor, so far private and confi fidential, that the does not feel himself authorized t make them publio, without the permission of the persons from whom they were received. He has, therefore, declined affording the information which was Bought by the order of the Legislature.

[FOR THE NEW YORK AMERICAN.] To a Lady on her Birthday. We'll quarrel not with Time to-day;

Thou art too young the elf to mind
Who steals thy girlish years away,

And leaves a woman's charms behind.
And I, though dealt with more severely,
About his thefts won't make a pother,
Who's schooled my heart to love thee dearly,
Yet love thee only as a brother.

And now, while I cannot help thinking
Life's perils did in number grow,

When first those dangerous eyes were winking

Upon it aighteen years ago,

I own, sweet Coz, in candid dealing,
Though safer-it had darker seemed,

If all their intellect and feeling
Upon the world had never beamed.
