The English Interpretation of the Fishery , Treaty of 1818, The following logal opinion respecting the inter- preiation of the treaty of 1518, was given by the v's Jaw officers, the Advocate and the Attorney eral, in compliance wich a requisition on this subject, made by Lord Palmerston. in 1341;:—- Query 1—In obedience to your lord-hip's commands, we have taken thee papers into consideration, aud have the honor to report that we are of opinion that the treaty of 1783 was annulled by the war of 1812; and we are also of opinion that the rights of fishery of the United States must now be considered as defined and regulated by the con- ven'ion of 1818, aud with respect to the general question, “if so what fight?" wecan only refer to the terms of the convention as explained avd elnoidated by the ob- servations which will cour in answering the other speci. fie queries. 2.—Except within certain defined limits, to which the query put to us does not apply. we are of ‘opinion that, by the terms of the treaty American citizens are ex. cluded from the right of fishing within three miles of the coust of British America: aud that the prescribed dis- tance of three miles is to be measured from the head- lands or extreme points of land vext the sea of the coast, or of the entrance of the bays, and not fom the interior of such bays or inlets of the coast and, consequently, that no right exists on the part of American citizens. to enter the bays ot Nova Scotia thore to take fi-h. although the fiehing being within the bay may be at agreater dis- tance than three miles from the shore of the bay. as we are of opinion that the term headiand is used in the treaty to express the part of the laud we have before mentioned, excluding the interior of the bays and the inlets of the coast 4—Ry the treuty of 1818. it is agreed that American citizens rhould have the liberty of fishing inthe Gulf of St Lawrence, within certain defined limits. in common with British subjects; and such treaty does not contain any words negativing the right to navigate the passage of the Gut of Canso, and therefore it may be conceded that such right of navigation is not taken away by that con- vention; but we have now attentively considered the couree of navigation to the gulf, by Captain Breton, and likewise the capacity and situation of the passage of Canso, and of the British dominions on either side, and we areof opinion that. independently of treaty, no for- cign country bus the right to use or nuvigate the passage of Canso; and attending to the terms of the convention relating to the liberty of fishery to be enjoyed by the Americans, we are nivo of opinion that that convention did not, either expres-ly or by implication, concede any auch right of using or mavigating the passage in ques- Majesty, the liberty to take fish of ever7 kind, oa thi pert of the southern coast of Newfoundland, which extends from Cape Ray to the Remueau Islands, on tho western and northern oo: & of New- feundland, from the said Cape Ray to vue Quirpon Islands, on the shores of the Magdalen Islands, aud on the coasts, bays, harbors and erecks, from Mount Joly, on the southern coast of Labrador, to and through the Straits of Bellisle, and thence northwardly indefinitely along the coast, without judice, however, to any of tho exclusive rights of the Hudson Bay Company; and that the Ameri- ean fishermen shall also have liberty, forever, to dry and cure fish in any of the unsettled bays, har- “bors, and creeks of the southern purt of the coast of Newfoundland, hereabove described, and of the coast of Labrador; but so soon as the same, or any rtion thereof, shall be settled. it shall not be law- for tho said fishermen to dry or care fish at such portion so sottled without previous agreement for such purpose, with the inhabitants, proprietors, or essors of the ground And the United States ereby renounce forever, any liberty heretofore en- joyedor claimed by the inhubitauts thereof, to take, ary, or cure fish, on or within three marine miles of any of the -coasts, bays, creeks. or harbors of his Britannic majesty’s dominions in America, not in- cluded within the above meutioned limits: pro- vided, however, that the American fishermen shall be admitted to enter such bays or harbors, for the purpose of shelter aud of repairing damages therein, of purchasing wood, and of obtaining water, and for no other purpose whatever. But they sball be un- der such restrictions as may be necessary to prevent their taking, gos ah curing fish therein, orin any other manner whatever abusing the privileges here- by reserved to them. » ARTICLE IL Tt ig agreed that a lino drawn from the most northwestern point of the like of the Woods, along the forty-ninth parallel of north latitude, or if the said point shall not be in the forty-ninth parallel of north latitude, then that a line, drawn from the said point due north. or south, as the cave may be, until the said line shall intersect the said parallel of north latitude, and from the poiat of such inter- section due west aloug and with the said parallel, shall be the line of demarcation between the terri- tories of the United States and those of his Britan- nie Majesty, and that the said line shall form the northern boundary of the said territories of the United States, and the soutbern boundary of the 4erritories of his Britannic Majesty, from the lake of the Woods to the Stony Mountains. ARTICLE IIE Tt is agreed, that avy country that may be claimed by either party on the northwest coast of America, westward of the Scory mouataios, shall, together with its harbors, bays, and creeks, and the navigation of all rivers within the same, be free and open, for the term of ten yeurs from the date of the signature of the preseut convention to the vessels, citizens, and subjects of the two powers: it being well understood, tuat this agreement is not to be construed to the prejudice of any claim which either of the two high contraccing parties may huve to any prt of the said country, nor shall it be taken fo afiec’ the claims of any other power or State to any part of the said country; the only ob- jeet of the bigh contracting purties, in that ro- spect, being to prevent disputes and differences amongst thomselves ARTICLE IV. All the provisions of the convention ‘to regulate the commerce be tween the territories of the United States and-of his Britannic ge ene concluded at London, on the third day of July, in the year of our Lord ono thousund eight hundred and fifteen, with the exception of tho clause which limited its duraion to four years, and excepting. also, so far as the same was affected by fhe declaration of his Majesty respecting she island of St Helena, are hereby extended and continued in force for the ‘term of fen yesrs from the date of the signature of the present couvention, in the same manner as if all the orn OF the sad convention were herein ially recited. ~ a ARTICLE V Wherens it was agreed by the first article of the treaty of Ghent, thit * All terrivory, places, and Pposeessions whatsoovor, taken by either party from the other, durivg the war, or which may be taken after the signing of this treaty, excepting only the islands hereinafter mentioned, shall be restored without delay, and without causing any destruc- tion, or carrying away any of the artillery or other mblic property originally captured in the said Forte or places, which shall remain therein upon the exchange of the ratifications of this treaty, or any slaves, or other private property;” and, whereas, under the aforesaid article, the United States claim for their citizens, and as their private property, the restitution of, or full compensation for, all slaves who, at the date of the exchange of tho ratifications of the said treaty were in any territory, plone, or eecreions whatsoever, direoted by the said treat: 0 be restored to the United States, but then still occupied by tho British forces, whotber such slaves were, at the date aforesaid, on shore, or on board any British vessel, lying in waters within the terri- tory or jurisdiction of the United States; and where- a8 differences have arisen, whether, by the truo in- tont and moaning of the aforesaid article of the treaty of Ghent, the United States are entitled to the restoration of, or full compensation for, all or any slaves, as above described, the high contract- ing parties hereby agree to refer the saia differences to some friendly sovervign or State, to be named for that purpose; and the high contracting parties far- thor engage to consider the decision of such Serek sovereign or State to be final and conclusive on al the mattors referred. tion We are also of oponion. that casting bait to lure fir in the track of any American vessels navigating the Paseage. would constitute a fishing within the negative terme of the convention. 5.—Witb reference to the claim of aright to land on the Magdalen islands, and to fish from the shores there- of. it must be observed, that by the treaty, the liberty of drying snd curing fi-h (purposes which could only be acéomplished by Innding) in apy of the unsettled bays, &e , ot the southern part of Newfoundland. and ot the coast Of Labrador, is specifically provided for ; but such privilege is distinerly negatived in any settled bay, &e , and it must therefore beinforred. that if the liberty of landing on the shores of the Magdalen Islands had been intended to be conceded. such an important concession Would beye been the subject of express stipuletion, and ‘Would necessarily have been eccompavied with e des. cription of the inlond extent of the shore over which such liberty was to be exercised. and whether in settled or unsettled parts ; but neither of these important par- ticulars ate provided for. even by implication. and that, among other considerations, leads us to the conclusion that American citizens have no right to land or conduct the fishery from the shores of the Magdalen Islands, The word “shore” does not appear to be used in the Conven- tion in any other than the general or ordinary senso of the word. and must be construed with reference to the liberty to be exercired upon it. and would therefore com- premise the land covered with water. as far as could be available for (he due enjoyment of the liberty granted 6—By the Convention, the liberty of entering the bays and harbors of Nova Scotia for the purpose of pur: cbusing wogd and obtaining water, is conceded in gen- eral terms. unrestricted by any condition. expressed or implied, limiting it to vessels duly provided ac the com- mencement of the voyage; and we are ef opinion that no such condition can be attached to the enjoyment of the liberty, 7.—The rights of fishery eeded to the citizens of the United States. and thore reserved for the exelusive en- joym: nt of British enbjects, depend altogether upon the vention of 1818. the only existing treaty on this sub- ject between the two countries ; and the material points rising thereon, have been specifically answered in our replies to the preceding queries, have. &e.

There can be no better period than the present for endeavoring to settle the question relative to the fisheries on the northeastern coast of this continent. The United States government will never be in a better position to arbitrate, either through diplo- macy or gunpowder. This long-delayed contro- versy should be disposed of so that our hardy sons of the rocky bound coast, whose lives are devoted to the employment of fishing, may pursue their avoca- tions without the least fear of arreet or molestation. As late as the spring of the year 1839, several of our fishermen were arrested upon the alleged charge of entering the British forbidden waters. On that occasion the United States revenue cutter Hamil- ton, under command of Capt. Sturgis, was des patched under orders of the Secretary ofthe Treasury, to proceed thither and make inquiry into the causes of the capture of several fishing vessels. Colonel Barnes, then Naval Officer of Boston, accompanied the cutter, which proceeded to Yarmouth, N.8., cruised up the bay of Fundy and around several of its islands. The cutter was absent from Boston some ten days, and returned with the information that several persons and vessels had been seized, but that the Court of Admiralty would probably release them, as their seizure and detention was made without sufficient cause. The American consular agent at Yarmouth was Henry A. Grantham, who took a lively interest in behalf of the fishermen, who suffered most severely by being captured by the British armed vessels. ‘The following account of the affair was furnished atthe time; and as the fishing business has again assumed a serious aspect, we think a new publica- tion of the facts, as then furnished by Mr. G , will srove interesting to the readers of the Hrranp. be statement, in substance, was as follows:— ‘The schooner Independence, Wm Burgess, mas- ter, was seized on the 26th of May, while lying at anchor near the Tusket Islands, by the British go- yernment vessel, the Victory; she was carried into Yarmouth, and stripped of her sails and part of her rigging. The In ndence belonged to Vinal- haven, Maine, and sailed thence on the 10th of April, fora fishing voyage in the Bay of Fundy. ‘The master and crow deposed that they never ap- proached within less than 15 miles of the eoast of Nova Scotia until about the end of April, when, being in want of water, and the wind blowing very heavy, they stood in for the Tasket Islands, where they remained 24 hours. After the expiration of that time, they put to sea again, and remained on the fishing ground until the 25th of May, when their only compass was ac- cidentally broken, and being again in want of water, they stood in once more for tho coast, in- tending to make the port of Yarmouth, to get their compass repaireds but the wind being adverse and the weather hazy, they wore obliged to take shel~ ter at the Tusket Islands, and were there captured on the day after their arrival. They deposed that they had, at no time, taken any fish at a less dis- tonce from the coast than 15 miles, nor at any one time remained at anchor near the islinds, or at any port more than 24 hours. They admitted, however, that they had been persuaded once to lend their nots to an inbabitant of tho Tusket Islands, for one night, and bad received from him some horrings as a oom- pensation for the use thoreof. The schoonor was seized at the same Misunder- time and place with the Independence, and undor similar circumstances, having put in at the Tuskets for wood and water. The captain and orew deny, on oath, having taken any Gish, at any time, within 16 milos of the coast; and they had not lent theit nets, as those of tho Independence had done. The schoonor Java was also seized at the same time and place; the captain and crew acknowledged that they had taken fish at the Tusxots, Tho Hart, Captain Turner, was seized at the Tas- kets on the 30th of May, having put in thore for wood, water and shelter She had once hetore an- Yarmouth harbor, having come in for the purpose of hiring an additional hand = The captain and crew deny sere evor fished within 15 miles of the coast, or remained longer than 24 hours, at one time, at the islands, or ar mg ad thoy almit, bow- ever, that in compensation for assistuace rendered the captain of a British fisherman at the islands they accepted from him two barrels of horring:. ‘Their statement is confirimed*by the British Aptain who was fisbing at the Tusiets, and deposes thit tho Hart nevor remained there for moro than 24 hours, aud never took any fish while thera Mr. Grantham then say: _ These depositions L enclosed to John Morrow, Usq. United Staves Consul at Halifax, for cho purpose of using them to assist him in his endeavors to eect the release of the Magnolia, Java and Hart, on tho Plea of their having been seized und detained oa insufficient grounds. Tho masters of these three namod vessola, by my advice proceeded to Halifax, where they now are, awaiting the decicion of the government officer there, whether they will be obliged to coniest th legality of the seizures in the Court ef Vice Adm ralty at that place. Ihave received no informatio: from thence, that can be depended upon, as to ths probable issue of the exertions already made, ant now making, in behalf of the owners and othors in- terested in these vessels _ Tho affidavits which have been made to substan- tiate the legulity of these seizures ure, first, that of Jobn MeCouvell, of this place, who dep: that ho did see the crew of the Java, between tho ith and 27th days of May lust, in the Tusket Islands, put their nets into the boat belonging to that vessel, and on the following morsing be saw them return with a quantity of fish, which was repeated four or five times during the above mentioned period, and that the skipper of the Java acknowledged to him that he had taken fish within tho prohibited limits, for bait. He further states that on Sunday, the 26th of May last, he saw on the deck of the Java, then lying in the Tusket Islands, & quanti- ty of gurry, which the crew said was from about three quintals of fish, caught the day before, and that he saw tho master and crew throw the same overboard, being then about two miles from Tee beque Point. in Yarmouth 2. The same person, John McConnell, farther de- posed that he saw the Magnolia about two weeks reviously, wen at anchor in the islands, send two oats away in the evening with nets, and return again the next morning with fish, which also again took ase for several successive days He farther stated that tho crew of the Maguolia did, ubout the sume time, acknowledge that they were then taking fish among the Tusket Islarids, and had before been | doing the same. j 3. David McConnell, of Yarmouth, made oath that the skipper of the American schooner Indo- pendence acknowledged to him on the 26th day of May, that he had hired nets belonging to that schooner to the skipper of an English fishing vos- sel, to be set by him on shares 4. Jonathan Baker, of Yarmouth, deposed that, between the 11th and 18th days of May last, he saw the crew of the American schooucr Java, then at archor in the Tusket Islands, put tho nets out of the schoener into the boats, on the evenings of four different days, leave the vesscl, and retarn in the mornings with the nets and a quantity of herring. 5 Joseph Darby, commander of the schooner Victory, deposed that he did see from on bourd tho said schooner Victory, then lying in the Tusket Islands, tho crew of the American fishing boat Hart, cleaning fish on board of that vessel, and that the master of the Hart acknowledged to him that ho did, about a week previously, procure from Be: min Brown two burrels of fresh herrings for bail The crew of the Magnolia positively deny tho truth of the deposition made against them, and they say that their vessel must have been mistaken for some other. The crew of the Independence als» deny having hired their nets, and it is probable that the acknowledgment sworn to as made by the mas ter, has been misunderstood by the persou to whom it wesmade, the rea! admission having been ths lending tbe nets for one night to an inhabitant of the Tusket Islands, as is mentioned in tho doposi- tions of the master and crew of the Independence. 1 need not remark upon the insufficiency of the evi- dence upon which the seizures of the [ndedendence and Hart have been made. It consists entirely of verbal acknowledgments, which may, and usually are, misunderstood or misconstrued, and ean seldom be correctly repeated; and, indeed, taking for grant- ed that the admissions sworn to have been made by the masters of these vessels, I cannot understand that they amount to evidence to authorize a seizure. I may observe, that all these vessels have been fitted out on shares—that is, each man on board, in lieu of wages, receives a share of fish at the tor- mination of the voyage. This circumstance may be of importance, as it probably may affect their evidence in the Court of Vice Admiralty The crews of the Java, Magnolia, and Indepen- dence, were put by me on board of a British schoon- er, the master of which landed them at Castine, in the State of Maine. They were in 2 perfectly des- titute condition, the provisions and stores of the vessel having been seized. I had, therefore, to pro- vide for them while they remained inthis place, and to find them a paseage to the United States. Lam, sir, your obedient humblo servant, Henry A Grantiam, Cons‘r. Agent U.S. for the port of Yarmouth, N.S. . The Fishing Boundaries. eline laid down by the British Government within which it is declared unlawful for American fishermen to pursue they trade, is as follows Commencing at a point three miles outside of Mis- cou Island, thence to North Point of Prince Edward Island, thence to Cape East, P. E. 1, thence southeast to Cape Breton. The British authorities are determined to molest our fichermen every way in their power. They will drive them from the fishing grounds they have been accustomed to visit for years, and in addition im- se upon them aduty for the privilege of anchor- ingin their harbors. If our government submnits to those impositiens, we mistake its character entirely. At Gloucester, Mass., there is a fleet of thirty or forty fishermen ready to sail, and awaiting the so tlement of the fishing trouble. t Views of the British Colonial Papers. The St, Jobn New Brunswicker of the 24th remarks that Mr, Webster labors under the impression that her Majesty's government is about to enforce the convention strictly. according to the opinion of the law offieers of England, We believe that euch is not the ease. For some years past there has been a tacit understanding that American fishing vessels should only be excinded from those bays or inlets of ow coast which wore less than six miles wide. and within which American vessels could not fish unless within three miles of the land. either on the ‘one side or the other, There is not the slightest. necessi- ty for straining the terms of the convention; for it is notorious that American fishing vessels pursue their business everywhere near the shores of there pro- vinees, within three miles of the land. where only in the autumn they get the best fishing—and ft is to pre- vent this flagrant and acknowledged breach of the con- vention that the present movernents axe taking place. Yankee fishermen themeelves will not pretend to deny thet they firth wrongfully; their usual excuse is, that ne- cessity compels them to violate the convention ‘The following is from the St John News :—Were the Ligh tory ministry to retain power we have no doubt but that a very protty quarrel would be made out of this ‘fil’ story; but with @ sensible. practical business go- vernment ‘such as is likely to bo formed by a fasion of parties, ae the only possible result of the present election, it is likely that more moderate means may be taken to carry out the treaty regulations, and that the long- wished for reciprocity may be agreed to as a compromise.
