RVARTS TO WELSIL Wasmyarox, Nov, 10.~The following 1s an abstract of Secretary Evarts' letter to Minister Welsh, giving the views of the Government in tho award of the Halifax Fisheries Commission. Mr. Evarts says: 1f the award in respect of fishories had relation only to the sum of payment invulved, ronstderable as that is, the Guvernnient might prefer 10 waive sny discussivn which could affect no continulng ermancont interests of the two conntrics. The United Htates, in the flehery articlcs of the "Treaty of Wasnington, do not intend to and did not walve or curtall in the least the construction of the Saliery ana appgricnant orivileges atcorged in the fiest "article of 1ho convention of 1818, as clatmed by them, snd actuully possessed and en- Juyed by ihem under “auch cialm at and_before the negotwation of the Treaty of Washington, Nelthier the proctocols of tho confercnces of theJoint liigh Cominissloners nor the text of the treaty negotiated by them indicate auy intentlon or sutmitting to the interpratation of ‘the Halifax Commiusion the degree of vrivilege nccorded to the Unlted Statca by the convention of 1818, Tho United States STILL MAINTAINS ITS INTERITIETATION of the ptivileges secured Ly Lhe convention of 1818, and protests against any implicatton, from the magnitude of the award of the Hallfax Com- nission, or otherwiso from Ita proceedings under o Treaty of Washingion, that the United Statea hiave sanctioncd or scquicsced in, of by payment of that award wonld sinctlon or acquieeco in, any lesser mo4sures of privileves sccured to the United States under the convention of 1818, than (as iy weil known to her Majesty's Governmeut) thoy ulways insisted npon. ~ In the ncxt piace, tho United States did not submit to thu ILalitax Commleslon under the fshery orticles of tho teaty of Washinzten any valuatlon of suy genenil, «tonomie, or political advantsges which 10w ont f accoss fo the fanery gioundn for the dgevclopuient of mercantile of naval marine, aud swhich thereforo migiit be arguod wonld ho b cd by sdding the nrea of the in-shoro fisherios of the Uulf of the St, Lawrence to tho flelds for that cnterprise, frow the carliest period open and oceus pied by the bold aod bardy seamen of thiv country.

The impartance of such mointenance of good undere standing und good neighborhood the United Btates will nover undervalue, My, Evarts rclates at some longth THE MISTORICAL ATTITUDR OF THE TWO GOV- ERNMENTS in relation to tha flsherics, including the offer by the Amerfcan members of the Jolut High Commisslon of §1,000,000 for the vbliteration of the sea line in perpetuity, and continues: 1t secms to thla Government quite cortaln that, npoy u correct oxposition of the submieylon of toe treaty, ond tho concuzriug action of the two Uov- ernmenls, in the prodnction and applicstion of wisat they deemed sppropriate wroof of what the pecuniary yotuo of our participstion in the in-shore mackorol flshery of the Uult of 8.
