Both whigs and conservatives claimed for themsolves majorities in the future Parliament, the former lockixg forward to an early resumption of Power, while the latter affirmed that tho Earl of Der- by would undoubtedly continue to hold the reins of power. ‘Tle truth is, that neither party could precisely compreliond “the situation,” in consequence of the number of liberal conservatives who bad been returned, and whose yotes could be counted on by neither party with certainty. It scems almost impossible that should the ministry even Lhrow over protection,that good working majority could be mustered inthe new par- “Hament; aud it is equally certain, that if the opposition were to succeod in custing the government.they, in their turn, could not command a suflicient majority to consti- ‘tute a firm a¢ministration. This, then, will prove to be the great diMculty with both parties, and the evon ba- tance thus once struck in the House of Commons, fresh ‘elections in the epring of noxt year would bo indispen- ‘sable to give cither the one party or theother a sufficient preponderance to carry on the government of the country. ‘The intelligence of a threaten’ rupture between the United States and England, on the Newfoundland fish eries question, received by the Canada, had produced no great effect in political or commercial ciroles, as it was generally thought that tho difficulty would eventually lead to a fricndly compromise or arrangement between the two powers.

Lt will not be disputed that tho aeen ofthe fisheries by armed fores within tho limits aseigned by treaty to the terri(ory of the crown is ag much aright and o duty of the government as the protection of the coast from contraband trade; and thor is nothing as ail xenacing to the arnicali relations Cf the two countries in the necessity of reinforcing ihe squadron of small vessels by Which the jpotice of these waters is carried on Mr. Webster's note appears to be a statement for ublic information intended to waru persons ongag: hese fisherios, that the British authorities are nv ; solved and prepared to prevent foreign fishermen feou trespassing within our own limits, It seems that « prac- tice had grown upon the part of the fishing boats of New England of extending ther operations considerably with in the bay of Neva Scotia, and within the line of one marine lcague from the British headlands, which is the legal boundary. From the nature of thes® rights it is impostibie to protect them without the presence of a considerable number of a small armed yess nad if tin authority of the government is not adequately represented on th t, disputee are upt to arise among the fishermen themselves, or the rightfal owners of the ground may be driven away by an invasion of unlawful competitors, Mr. Webster does not deny the authority of any part of the treaty of 1915, though he secs suddenly to haye dis- covered that its provisions are unduly harsh and unfayor- able to the Amcrican fishermen: but he exaggerates the difficulty, and we think ho rather nocdlessly taiks of “the involvement of the government in questions -of a@ very serious nature, threatening the peace of the two countries.” Tho Bay of Fundy is as obviously a British possession, by the law of nations and by the terms of the tzenty, as Delaware Bay or Chesapeake Bay belong to the Uniled States, becuase they are arms or reeet:ts of the soft entering from the ocean between capes and headlands.’ The application of the term, in a looser sense, to such waters as Hudson's Bay or the Bay of Bis- or has nothing whatever to do with the interpretation of this treaty. Nothing can be more preciac or conclusive than the terms of the treaty by which the United States “renounce for ever any liberty of fishing heretofore en- joyed or claimod by the inhabitants thereof, on or wit! three miles of any of the coasts. hays, creeks, or hark: of her Britannic Blojesty’s dominions in America, not in- cluded in the specified limits.’ These specified limits do not include the Bay of Fundy, for they commence at Cape Ray, on’the coast of Newfoundland, and cxtend pie the Straits of Belloisle, ntrthward to the const of Labrador ; and to that region only, on our own coast, the fishermen of the United Siates have a right to rer As to the protection of the Bay of Fundy, by Bri cruisers, wo cannot conceive that it admits of 1 questi or an argument cn the other sido ‘The only ground on which these measures could be re- bert any hardship at all is, that since 1518 the British authorities have been somewhat remiss in the pro- tection of their undoubted rights, and that the naval 's commanding on the station have not had a sufli- cient force at their disposal. Woe have been aware, for some years, that an inercase of force was much required on these coasts, for in the summer of 1848 Captain Loch Was despatched with her Majesty's frigate Alarm to New foundland, not ouly to protect the ‘iishet! bet on the whole subject, and the report wi arliament inthe following session. Captain Loch's obe servations eluted prinelpaily to the habitual encroach- ments of the French fishermen and bankers (as they are termed) on our own coast. The French fisheries of Miguclon and St. Pierre employ about 16,000 seamen, who are the right arm of the maritino fores of France ; they are protected by a bounty of eloyen francs per ewt. on the dried fish, a sum equnl to the value of the article itself; they contrive to got their caplin or bait pd from our ‘harbors, and they undersell our own fisherinen inthe market. ‘To protect the French fisheries six cruisers are employed, a corvette, a steamer, three schooners, and a store ship. To protect the British Newfoundland fishcries we have lately Lad but one man- ofwar, We learn, therefore, with catisfuction, tiaat the Janus and Buzzard steamers ure despatched te New- foundiand, and that the admiral is authorized to take bi! some mail schocners to watch the coasts of Heileisle au Labrador. The French government has, at the same time. concurred in the appointment of a commission to investigate the subject of the fisheries, and to remove, as far as Possibie, ail future grounds of dispute. Nothing but actual and constant supervision can keep the fisher- men of different countries within theirprover bounds, for they have contiiusl temptation and continual oppor: tunitics to transgress them, But provided the cruisers on these stations enforce the strict boundary, and scra- fae cause the law to be observed, it isthe common nterest ot alithe governments concerned to put down this epeeies cf contraband trade. On ene point, however the courze adopted on this qnes- tion by Sir Jolin Pekington appears open to considerable doubt; Contrary to the policy of the late governineat, he proposcs to allow the colonics, when they shall so think fit, to promote their fisheries by bounties, and not to iu- texpore the Imperial authority to prohibit sach bounties, especially white woare engaged in commercial negotia- tions with the Unitod States of America Bounties are protection in its most direct and absnrb form, since they are a direct appropriation of the pubiie funds to one branch of private industry. and this money passes by a corresponding reduction cf price into the pocket of the fereigu econstuner, But if the Colonial Legislatures chooro to fling away their revenue by distributing a surplus among the fishing interest, it is not equally cortain that the Colonial Secretary’ in Downing street is bound to disailew sachgordinances, which proba- bly injure no imperial interest, and indced serve, at no expense lo the country, to support the competition of the British fisherics against the high bounties of the Vrench Government. There is, however, the obvious danger that the colenial Legislatures by which these bounties are voted consist mainly as in Newfoundland, or partly, as in Nova Scotia, of thet particular class of the community which is benofitted by this arbitrary distribution of taxes levied on the whole colony. The only legitimate form of protection to fisheries is (hat which co in the prevention of the clandestine appro- priation by fcreign fishing vesscls of what belongs, by law, to the coats and subjects of the British empire. ‘Theeo encroachments, in fact, differ in no respect teom avy othor kind efrobiery, “They are poaching oa the ocean; aad the United States can do no more by way of preserving ‘its citizens from penaitios incurred by such offences, tann to see that the provisions of the tw are m at to re- faithfully complicd with, France. 0 news from Trance is prinefps'ly contined to the comments fe the French journals on the reeent recon- struction of the cabinet.
