Mr. J. Macgregor, formerly President of the Board cf ‘Trade, publithes a letter in the London News and other ‘Metropolitan papers, strongly in favor of am amicable adjustment of the fishery question, On the same Bubject, the News of the 9th says,in its remarks on the money market : “As regards one of the points that ‘has told very sensibly in favor of the bears, viz; the American Fishery dispute, we are in a position to state, from the best authority, that in the present position of ‘the affair there is not the slightest ground for the fear that any interruption of our friendly relations with the United States will ensue.” ‘The London Times. of the 11th inst., contains an edito- ‘tial relative to the Kaine affair. in this city, and the fish- ery troubles, and states that both questions are difficult ‘to settle, as they are brought up on the eve of the Presi- dential election. The Times says that, if Kaine was an ‘Englishman or a Scotchman, ingtead of an Irishman, he ‘would be delivered up immediately.

Pakington—Miscellancous Intelligence—The Mosquito Yacht. The misunderstanding which has arisen between the government of the United States and Great Britain rela. tiveto the fisheries off Nova Sc tia. the first account of which, with Mr. Webster's deapatch, was taken from the columns of the New Yorx Herarn,is not regarded here inaserious light. The funds have not been affected, though an attempt was made by certain speculators on change to turn the news to accouat. Itis to be regret- ted that an attempt bas been made in the United States to excite a fecling hostile to England on the subject, America hus no better wishers thun Unglishmen, and it is desirable, also, forthe peace of the world, that the two most powerful nations of the earth should remain on the amicabie footing upon which they now stand, Next mail will doubtless bring us the result of the first negotiation between Mr, Crampton and the Hon. Daniel Webster. I shall not here enter into the facts of the case, which are fully before you, but shall confine myself to the exposi- tion of the general feeling here on the,subject, It is, that rocording to existing treaties, the English government have the right to refuse permission to American boats to fish in the waters under dispute, but that it ought to have given notice of such intention to the government of the United States, By such a precautionary measure the present misunderstanding would never have taken place. It would seem that the Derby administration is doomed to blunder. Lord Derby himself is perhaps the only member of the cabinet entitled to respect as a statesman. Ile was, at a former period Under Secretary of State for the colonies, and as leader of the Tlouse of Commons, when Lord Stanley, he made himself necessa- rily acquainted with every important event that took lace. Sir J. Pakington, on the contrary, was nothing ut a country squire, with no knowledge of the rou- tine of official, business, and tact as a statesman is as essential a qualification as energy. He has followed in the footsteps of his colleague, Lord Malmesbury, whose blunders have done so much Gumage to the actual gor- ernment. In my Jast communication I sent you a clear result of the elections Parliament docs not meet till October.

THE ENGLISH PRESS—V OTE OF THANKS TO CAP! WEST, ETC. A diner was given by Captain West, on Saturday, at which all the good things of the table, including wines, were bountifully provided. All enjoyed themselves, and the best of fecling prevailed. After the cloth was re- moved, several gentlemen having expressed a desire that some appropriate manifestation should be made of the passengers’ sentiments towards Captain West, and John Livingston, Exq., of New York, baving been called upon, Mr. Livingston rose and said :— On this, the last day we shall have the pleasure of meeting at the social board of the good ship Atlantic, it seems to me not improper we should, in some appropriat> method, make known our kind feelings towards the gal- lant captain who has brought us so safely and pleasantly neross the broad ocean, which but a few days since sepa’ rated us, by more than three thousand miles, from our homes. In making our grateful acknowledgments to the commander of this yessel, though we may add littie to his already widely extended fame, which has long becr known to half the world, yet we shall part with the satis” faggion of knowing, that at least one great duty has been left not unperformed ; and it is hoped he will receive with some pleasure, a compliment from this assemblage, composed, a8 it is, of distinguished gentlemen from all parts of the United States. L,see at the other table, one who stands first among the first of professions—one who is eminent, no loss for great learning and cloquence, than for kindness and urbanity. As all must have made his acquaintance with pleasure, so none will part from him but with regret. None can mistake that I imean the Rev. Dr. Wainwright, whose a thousand friends will be glad to know he returns in allthe stregib and vigor of youth. His travels have restored him to health, and I know that he is happy—for the good must always be happy. At the same table too, is another, who ia justly esteemed the kindest and beet, as well as one of | the ablest of mon—one whose business it is to inter- nd decide upou those disputes, which, of trowble and misunderstanding must ever arise between man and man. How satisfacto- rily and uprightly Judgewaine has discharged his sacred duty since I vation to seat in the judiciary of the city of New York. all who have had the pleasure of ap- peering before him will readily testify. His friends and admirers, among whom I hope always to be ranked, will ke happy to know he returns home perfectly rostored to that health which had been impaired by the sovere labors entailed upon him in the assiduous discharge of the duties of his responsible station, Long may he, andl that bright eyed youth, his tatented von, now by his side, retain their health and happiness. As the son may justly be proud of the father, so the father peed be no less proud of the son, whom, long v his parents shi ll, inthe course of nature, have been called to the tomb I hope may occupy a position now so wor- thily tilled by bis parent, At my right sits one who, though he resides in the small State of New Jersey, is by no means a little man. Tallude to Judge Randolph, known to every man in his State as an excellent aie and an upright Judge. He too, after enriching his mind by several months of Euro- pean travel, undertaken because of sickness, comes back to enjoy the happiness of his dear domestic circle, fully restored tothat health which must ever be esteemed far beyond all earthly treasure. here are at the table many other eminent persons, from various parts, gentlemen of note and distinction in their sevorel ayceations, but to name them all would be fe over half the passenger list. ere. too, are several worthy gentlemen from England, a country the most free and enterprising of any in Europe; sland which we have travelled with delight, vase CON + nected with itare our earlicst associations.

A war with us would be so unpopular among the British people that their government could not undertake it. But I have also the pleasure of saying, which Ido upon the authority of our Minister at the Court of St. James, that, un- tess 50 unfortunate a thing as an actual collision shall have occurred previous to the arrival at Washington of the despat now on board of this steamer, and those to follow by the Asi no further trouble can grow out of the matter. As said that ‘man, of whom allare proud to speak—he who unites to majesty of person divine substantiality of mind, with these unwasting resources of learning and imagination, which stamp him as the colossal intellect of America. and the greatest of earthly states- men—as said Daniel Webster, at Marshfield, several weeks ago, so now, with scarcely an exception, sey ihe press and people of England that their government have made @ mistake, The English ministry may have been wrong, but the English people are right ; they justly condemn the conduct of Malmesbury and Lord Derty ; and we have been assured, by the best authority, that the government having, though at the eleventh hour, dis~ covered their blunder, will now leave nothing undone to ree pair it. ‘Toconclide, Iam pleased to find by my side some of my countrymen who bave been abroad for years, travel- ling in every quarter of the globe.

Ah! did Captain West but think how great wili be the happiness cauxed by the safe arrival of this noble ship, weil worthy of eo noble a commander, this thought alone, to so good a man, would be sufficient recompense for the watenful care he hae exercised over us. Do you know how happy are these young men, now sitting, for the last time. at your excellent table? Having seen thgbewuties of France, ind Italy, and England, they yet assert none are so charming as their dear loves of their native towns; the daughters of America are more lovely than the fairvet of the fair in foreign lands—that none can be compared to her whose prayer. even now. may be— Koll gently ye bilio Blow gently vo breex And waft my dear Willie once more to my arms. Their hearts beat quicker with joyful emotions, at the thought that this prayer will soon be answered. Here. at my left. are sons, who, after years of wandering in far distant lands, are now returning to live again among the familiar scenes of childhood They do not yet know if their aged father be on this side the tomb, or whether “he has gone to that bourne from no traveller returns.” ‘Their hearts sweil within them at the thought, that in few short hours—the first moment when our vessel 8] be moored—they will embrace brothers and sisters. Thon, will they not, like the good Joseph of old, ask,—“Doth my father yet live?” Tappily may the father grect them— the hope of his declining years ;—and as Israel, in his ox- cess of joy, he may say, “Now let mo die since I have seen thy fuce, because thou art yet alive.”’ But there are others here, and among them I have the pleasure of numbering myscif, who, as they sustain the three relations of son, husband and father, look forward with yet decper foclings of emotion “to that home where soon they hope to weet those who are more dear to them thanall the world besides.

August 9.) The Morning Herald (present government organ) has the following statement, which we suppoee is intended to be received as “from authority,” on the American Fish- ery question:— “In reference to a question which naturally, at this mo- ment, absorbs the public attention both in England and in the United State. the facts are as follow:—Her Ma- Jesty’s government haye made no new claims on the United States, and have withdrawn no concessions mals tothat government. No renewal of the long-vexed ques- tion respecting the Bay of Fundy hasbeen mooted. Lord Aberdeen’s concession of 1846, respecting that arm of the tea, (guarded as it was by his Lordship, by an assertion of our rights over the whole bay) remains where it was. The disputed interpretations of the technical terms of the treaty of 1818 remains where it was, All that has been cone by the government, is to strenghten our squad ron on the coasts of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and New Tvunswick, to defend a right which the Vnited States do not aud never did dispute, name- ly, that of retaining exclucively im our possesion the water within three miles of our own shores from the encroschiments of both French and American fisher- men; and the American vessel, the Coral, alluded to, was eeized within a quarter of a mile of our own coast. Cur squadron is »¢w no larger than the French one on the same coasts. Our right is that which demands the re- spect ofall nations of the globe—one acknowledged by international law ; and if for many years our sugcessive overbments have neglected to protect their fellow sub- jectsas France and the United States always protect theirs, both in America and inthe channel, we can only be grateful to our present Ministers for repairing their fatal supinenoss, We shall return to this subject. upon which both here and across the Atlantic the public haye been most grossly misinformed and misled,” We bave already declared that no party motives shall lead us prematurely to range ourselves on the foreign ride, and against the representatives (whomsoover) ofour country in its foreign relations. We shall be sincerely rejoiced to find that the present ernment have nos ome the Le ei ey ol a bond called-for proceedingr-—t! are not sending ships enforce any doubttul or any disused rights, without previ- ous sufficient notice. This is the gravamen of the Amori- con inculpations; and we shall be glad to find those in- culpations grouvdlers, however little love we bear tho men now in power in England. ‘The New Brunswrcker states that “ the American Secre- tary of State labors under a mistake when he gives the impression, by his circular, that her Misjeaty'e govern- ment Is about to enforce the convention strictly, accord- ing to the opinion of the law officers of England. Such is not the case. For some years past there has been a tacit understanding that American fishing vessels should on): be excluded from thore bays and inlets of the coast whic! aro lees than six miles wide, and within which American vessels could not of course fish, unless within three miles of the land on either side. To do this will be sufficient, as neazly all the American vessels are in the habit of fish- ing near the shore during the best of the fishing season.” e may observe that the dispesition manifested across the Atlantic, whether in or out of Congress, to attach importa: fo this matter, adds one more motive to those already existing for the catly meoting of Paglin+ ment. [From the London Chronicle, Augart 9] ‘The grave misunderstanding between this country and the United States, to which the question of the American fisheries have given rise—and Sp] , from oer latest transatiaa tic intelligence, to be growing more serious—will go a long way to dispel any amiable preju- dices which enthusiastic persons may entertain in fevor of improvising Secretaries of State. Sir John Paking- ton and Lerd Malmesbury bave contrived ty ignor- ance and folly, to blunder into position in which It is impossible for them either to advance with justice, or to fetreat with honor. Brilliant ability and shining clo- guste ey, perhaps, be di! with in the chiofs of 10 Executive departments; but the very least which can be expected of men charged with the interests of « gront empire, ir an average share of information and a nroderate amount of common senso, The Secretaries for the Colo- nies for Foreign Affairs have shown, however, that they bave not acquired tho former, and that nature mever gifted them with the latter. (From the London Times, Auguat 10.) The overbearing pretensions im which Americans ero fometimes wont to indulge themmelver can aever bo ad- mitted. | They divide the Northern continent af America with ourselves. and the fisheries of the coasts are subject to » corresponding division. But while wo say thu muc ond while we ate prepared to maintain that (he str riphis of the enee, sa far from pertaining to the Am cone, reside Wholly with ourselves, we should be disposed, _ struction on tho treaty itself. not only to ackn: the claim to consideration which has been constituted by uemge, but to put # libsral con- issome foundation for the epament that bays of large extent should not be treated like smaller inlets, and we may presume that Sir Robert Peel's government was influenced by considera- tions of thi« nature in conceding t the American fisher- men the entrance to the Bay of Fundy in 1845. In ap- pres, for instance, the same rules to European States, it would be clearly unreasonable, supposing France and Spain were under the same government, that other nations should be excluded from the Bay of Biscay by a line from Brest to Ferrol, thot the Bay of Biscay is undoubtedly o bay. i jons. however, so hastily expressed in the American fevate were without justification in fact, for the wrong doing was excusively on the side of the States, thor gh they might have reasonably expected that en: croachments so long connived at would be denounced at last with lees abruptness, and adjusted with more con- sideration for the feeling of a people so nearly connected with ourselves. The entire question concerns the liber- ties of Americans in waters confessedly British. There is nO wention of any Am n territory whatever, nor has ony Britich vesecl been despatched to American waters, ‘The fichermen of the States have been pursuing their call- ing upon fishing grounds which pertain to subjects of the Britich crown. Long usage, previous concessions, and even arguments of a broader and more general kind, sug- gest that the question should be treated im a liberal and conciliatory spirit; but the law of the case, to which the Americans have so intemperately appealed. is decidedly against them; and while we regret that measures calcu- lated to irritate a sensitive nation should have been 0. hastily adopted. we ure constrained to observe that their own proceedings have been equally precipftate, and that such views as were expressed in the Senate, aro ill adapt- ed to promote a settlement of the dispute. It is no credit to either State that its first step on an occasion like this should have been to equip war steamers for action, and we trust that the awakening sense of both countries may ‘nolan despatch the affair by a more reasonable appeal, From the London Herald (gov't organ), August 11.] x Webster says that the American fishermen shall be peers “hook aud line, and bob and sinker.” We also ave fishermen in those waters, and the water: ‘sare theirs; and we want no more for them. and we have long been content with much less than fair play for ‘their hook and line. and kob and sinker,” OPINIONS IN FRANCE. [From the Paris Sivcle, August 9.) What forms the difficulty of the fishery question, or, to speak more correctly, what permits difficulties rola- tive to it to be raised, is, that it has boon regulated by half a dozen treatics, including that of Utrecht, in 1713, ‘Tho stipulations of article thirteen of this’ fespect- ing the right and limits of the fisherigs were renewed by the treaty of 1763, which contains the cession of Canada by France. The treaty of Vereailles, in 1783, which stl- pulates the independence of the United States, confirmed ihe rights previously recognized to French fishermen to practice their industry at three leagues’ distance from the coasts. The rights of the Americans were also regulated at that f20r8 (1783), but not in a suficiently clear manner.4ince it was peey, to return to this subject by a convention, signed the 20th October, 1818. between the United States and England, We do not assert that the Americans have never exceeded their rights, and that the present protensions should all be admitted ; thut would be too Great a novelty in their history. What we believe is, on the one part, that the concessions made in 1845, by the minister, Lord Aberdeen, cannot be purely and simply withdrawn ; and, on the other hand, that the Eng- lish government could not, if disposed, support the system of the Engi colonists, who wish to give premiums to their Sishermen to beat down Jimerican competition. A govern- ment has the right, when national honor requires it, to correct the false interpretation given to a treaty; but it it be pretended that it ought to be made a principle ‘that, for a secondary interest, and one alinost exolusively of ministerial vanity. a government has the right to withdraw every concession made in the name ofa treaty, which it interprets differently to its predecessor, all stabi- lity in internaticnal relations would be at an end.

Immediately on the nows reaching France a equadron was ordered to sail from Toulon, on the 20th Juiy, for Tripoli, with orders to effect the release of the two prisoners, or to destroy the town. On the afternoon of the 28th. the equadron anchored be- fore Tripoli, and summoned the commandant, (for the Parhe bad fled into the interior.) to deliver up the men by sunrise next morning.

The New Amnesty tn France. [From the Liverpool Courier, August 11.) ‘The secret treaty, to which we lately referred, and as to the authenticity of which there is such a conflict of opinion, has, even though. perhaps, only a name, already worked its effect on the French President. The natural effect of a new Holy Alliance of the kind indicated, would be to concentrate the energies and inflame the na- tionality of the French. It would also ereate a rap- prcchement between those parties now 0) to legiti- macy.

Wo need only name Messrs, ‘Thiers, De Remurat, Jules de Lastezrie, and Duvergier de Hauranne, who are among the restored, in order to show that Louis Napoleon perevives the danger, and seeks to avert it by honorable means. It is notorious that there is ® echirm in the legitimist ranks-—one section desiring the Count de Chamberd to mount the throne by right; the other by popular election. If we correctly {uterpret this emnesty, Louis Napoleon sees the danger of provoking a war, and rather seeks to rally round him all sensible Frenchmen, against the dictation of foreigners. Such a step is a serious warning to the absolutists, who of all things abominate the principle of an elective sovereignty. Italy.
