UNITED STATES—THK PEELING IN ENGLAND {From the Liverpool Chronicle, August 14 | Mr Thomas Baring, of Mipgpmninecs firm of Baring Brothers & Co., will proceedto the United States by the Asia to-day, having offered his good aorvicos to Lord Malmesbury, with tho view to bringing about a satisfactory arrangement of the question— an offer which has been accepted by hor Majesty's cabinet. It will be remembered that Lord Ashbur- ton, another of tho Baring family, negotiated tho treaty so well known ay the “Ashburton treaty; and in view of the great influence exorcised by this firm in the United States, arising, in a great moa- sure, from the vast extent of their mercantile and monetary transactions with that republic, thore oan be little doubt that tho efforts of Mr. Baring will be icipatii he * i a # gitended with success. We understand that Mr. inetraly pe frmonar ined sho aces aring, on his visit to Washington, will also om- | j¢ was,” will at length be brought to issue by the deavor to obtain the co-oporation of the United ‘1 +f forcible adoption of that construction maintained by the sritish government; that tho *‘oxtensive businoes of the Now Wngland fishormen will bo com- plotely interrupted” in ‘consequence, and that all concerned, therefore, should ‘stand on their ward.” Such is the impression produced on the morican government by its official information, nor can we seo, indeed, how even on the faco of Sir John Pakingwon/s despatch any different conclusion could Fave been formed. ‘Tho circular lotter of the Colonial Secretary to the Governors of our North American dependencies, boaring date only the 26th of May last, plainly states that “ho Majesty’s ministers are desirous of removing al | aia of complaint on the part of the colonies in consequence of encroachments of the fishing States government, with a view to gotting tho American Minister at Mexico to join Hots eae strances of our own ambassador at tho breach of faith committed by tho Mexioan government in their conduct towards tho foreign creditors, no small number of whom aro citizens ef the United States. _ _ {From the London News, August 13.] : We have already stated that the positiea of the fishery question is by no means calculated to create alarm, and today we are enabled to state a fact which will go far towards allaying the anxiety that has been excited by the bellicose tone of some of tho less accredited United States journals. Mr. Thomas Baring, of tho eminent firm of Bariu, Brothers & Co., ia about to proceed to tho United yossels of the United States upon thoso wators, from which they are excluded by the terms of tho convention of 1818, and they therefore intend to despatch, as coon as possible, a’small naval force of steamers, or other small vessels, to enforce the eb- servance of such convention.” Now, if those reso lutions were intended to apply, as we areinow as- sured, to such provisions only of the convention as “the United States do not and nover did dispute,” wo aro constrained to romark that they were some- States by the next pake and has offered his goo | services to Lord Malmesbury, with a view to bring- ing about a satisfactory arrangoment of the ques: tion—an offer whioh has been accepted by her Ma- jesty’s cabinet. It will bo remembered that Lord Ashburton, another of the Baring family, negotiated tho treaty so well known as the “Ashburton treaty,” and in viow of the great influence exercised by this fimm in the United Btates, arising in a great measure from the vast extent of their mercantile and mone- ' 4 ry Ff what loosely expressed, and that our colonies have Link Preiss Vy tn es aero seine Sait be | been flattered, and the American ‘people. irritated attonded with euccess. The announodihont will be with extromely little sincerity of purpose or distinot- ness of plan. The ‘‘ waters” alluded to without any limitation in the despatch, as those from which the Americans are shut out by the convention, do, undoubtedly, include the fishing grounds of tho larger bays, according to tho rigorous intorprota- tion of the treaty, and notoriously so according to the views of those colonists, in satisfaction of all of whose ‘‘complaints”” the convention is now to be “enforced.” For years past the colonists have been alleging as a sees that the Amoricans, contrary to tho stipulations of the treaty, were per- mitted to enter bays on the British coast for pur- poses of fishing, and when they are assured in an official despatch that all their grounds of complaint shall be removed, and a naval force is charged ac- cordingly with the execution of the law, it is diffi- cult for any English or American reader to come vo any other conclusion than that arrived at by the American government, and accepted by the popula- tion of the States. At the same time we are induced to remark, that every day’s additional consideration which the sub- ject receives, convinces us, not only that the con- struction of the treaty maintained by the British government is right in law, but that the more in- telligent of tho American statesmen are porsuaded of this fact, however opposed they may consider it to the suggestions of local convenience, or the best interests of both countries. The Americans ro- nounce by the treaty for ever “‘ any liberty, hereto- fore enjoyed or claimed, to tak ay or cure fish on or within three marine miles of any of the coasts, bays, creeks, or harbors” of the British possessions in America, not distinctly excepted in terms. Now, according to the British interpretation, which con- siders ‘*a bay” as something different from a coast —asa line of sea, in fact, from which the three miles of British property are to be reckoned as else- whore from land—the specification of bays, creeks, and harbors in the treaty was very natural and ne- cessary ; but, according to the version which the Americans would give, these words become super- fluous, for the single word *‘ coast”? would have pro- vided for all the cases, if nothing was forbidden but inshore fishery within a certain distance. What, in ehort, con be the mean! of the expression, ‘* with- in three marine miles of a bay,” except that con- tended for by the British government? A vessel forbidden to come within a marine league of Bantry ea) could certainly not cast anchor in the middle of it. We observe, too, that Mr. Webster, in tho onl official document yet published on the subject, thoug] he will not admit that the British interpretation is conformable to the intentions of the contracting par- ties—a point obviously next to impossible to decide —does, nevertheless, acknowledge that “it would a pear by a strict and rigid construction of this article that fishing vessels of the United States are preclu- ded from entering into the bays or harbors of the British provinces, except for the purposes of shelter, repairing damages, and obtaining wood and water.” Now this is all tor which we contend. With respect to the advantage to be taken of this construction, we trust that the governments of the two countries may not find it difficult to come toan agreement be- fitting the characters of both; but we submit to thé good sense of the American public that in a case where the law, however invidiously interpreted, is nevertheless against them, they should not embitter the dispute by charging ‘‘aggression” on those who are certainly guilty of nothing worse than abrupt- ness, and whose precipitation may itself turn out to have been either misconceived abroad or reconsid- ered at home. The Dominican an in London, [From the London Times, Aug 13 ] Nothing further has been heard of the Dominican loan for £750,000 advertised on the 7th inst, and it is presumed that the pare will prove entirely unsuccessful. The fact, however, of its having been brought forward at all, in the present absence of any general information concerning the position of the country, is a remarkable instance of the reli- ance placed upon the readiness of the London public to subscribe to anything during an abund- ance of money. According to the meagre state- ments of the agents, the loan is issued in virtue of a decree of the Dominican Congress, approved by the President; and its object is to vediein about £40,000 of depreciated currency, and to promote immigration and the construction of public works. It is also added that the republic is at peace with its former opponents, the Haytiens; that its pro- ducts are of the choicest and most prolific kind ; and that its revenue is so ample that the war with Hayti was carried on and terminated without the necessity of contracting any debt. It isunder- stood, however, that these statements require con- siderable qualification, and that, although the pros- pects of the republic, if peace and internal order can be secured, are sufficient to warrant strong hopes of its welfare, they are certainly not such as to lead to any expectation that tho annual interest oo £750,000 could be met, or that such a loan, al- though raised professedly to develope the resources of the country, could operate inany othor way than to corrupt amd encumber it. At the same time, the position of Dominica, as regards the probable course of the future commerce of the world, is #0 important as to render it desirable that an in- creaged pha te be oa hon va- rious advantages it nts. ie ublic com- prises about two-thirds of the Island oft Hayti, and torms that part of it which is nearest to this coun- try; the western side, or Hayti proper, being under the despotic authority of the black Emperor Sou- louque. But although the Dominican republic is much larger than Hayti, its population isonly aboat 200,000, while that of Hayti is ostimated at 700,- 000. The Dominicans are of Spanish origin, and consist of about one-third whites, and a small pro- portion of aha the remainder being a mixed raco. The Haytiens belonged to a Fronch colony, and are all black, no white persons bein; allowed even to hold land or prope of any kind in the coun- try. From the ove ww of the Spanish power, in 1821, up to 1844, the entire island was un- der the Haytien government as one pipab but in the latter year, owing to the violation by the Haytiens of the terms on which the annoxa- ominica had taken reocived with satisfaction, as proving that the Dor- by cabinet aro sensible of their precipitancy in pro- yoking a quarrel with America, and of the necessi- ty of adopting a conciliatory tene in their futuro communications. Rumors to this effect wore cur- rent in the afternoon, and tended to strengthen the feeling of the market towards the close, but there are other influences in operation, as we have al- ready intimated, which have contributed very ma- terially to the luction of the remarkable check now noticed. The most important of these is the weathor, which is now regarded with general solici- tude, as it is feared that the hoavy rains and cold wind will cause much damage to the whoat. __ (From the London Sun, August 12 ] It is reported in American circles that Mr. Thomas Baring, of the firm of Baring Brothers & Co., is about to proceed to the United States, charged with a special mission from our government, to endeavor to arrange the fishery dispute. This appointment would give much satisfaction on the other side of the Atlantic, where the antocedents of Lord Ashburton and cet aswell as business con- nections, would ensure Mr. Baring a cordial recep- tion. It is certain that this gentleman was not pre- sent, yesterday, at the meeting in aid of the suffer- ers by the Montreal fire, aud that recently he has had ‘several interviews with Mr. Lawrence, the American Ambassador here. A special meeting of the Leeds Chamber of Com- merce has been called for Saturday next, ‘to take into consideration the present state of our relations with the United States of America.” It is under- stood that the meeting has been summoned at the request of eight members of the chamber, who are dissatisfied with the proceedings of the British go- vernment on the fishing question. The Vestal, 26, Captain C. B. Hamilton, arrived at Spithead from Sheerness, Polite to be paid advance. She will then sail for the North Amorican station. {From the London Globe. August 13. mhaisepen races in tho state of the weather, tho more lerate tone of the American journals, and the satisfactory sxrengement of the heavy settlement, have had a beneficial effect on tbe English securities. which have all been marked by a rise. Consols, after closing last night at 984 to 98} for money, an 98 to 98] for the September account, opened this ae at 987 to 99} for immediate transfer, and 99 to $94 for the account. From the London Mercantile Gazette, August 12.] Ye have much satisfaction in referriag to the news brought to Southampton this day by the Hum- boldt. from New York, as it confirms the opinion we have throughout expressed regarding the fishery dispute. It appears that President Fillmore disap- proves of the course pursued by Mr. Webster in this matter, and, in the opinion of the New York HERALD, there was every Lb that an amicable arrangement would be shortly come to. This is what we have all along said. Our contemporary the Times is anxious to keep up an alarm on this subject, for what purpose it best knows; we can only guess, asa Yankee would say, what that pur- se is. bs (From Paris Letter. August 12 ] There was a marked improvement to-day at the Bourse, for there were none but favorable rumors. It was stated that the French government had received posrtive news that the fishery question between Eng- land and the United States woud be amicably settled, and that yesterday there was a meeting at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, at which the proposi- tion for a prolongation of the commercial treaty with Belgium was so favorably entertained by the Minister, that it may be almost immediately ex- pected. The 44 per centsrose for cash to 104f. 65c , and the three per cents to 75f. Most of the rail- road shares also rose. It was stated at the Bourse that the’first train of the Strasbourg Railway, which was opened to the public to-day, gave 6,000 francs to the company. [From the London Times, Aug. 12 j The extracts from the American journals which we yesterday published, and which were but sam- ples of an extremely copious assortment, will serve to convince every reader of the success with which Lord Derby’s cabinet, if really without serious in- tentions, has contrived to mystify the government and people of the United States. The organs of the ministry at home have authoritatively declared that, with respect to the north-eastern fisheries, no now claim has been advanced, and no concession with- drawn, and that even ‘the disputed interpretation of the technical terms of the treaty of 1818 remains where it was.” Ifthisbe indeed the case, we can only observe that the protectors of the colonial fish- eries are as difficult to understand as the protectors of the British farmer, and that the authorities and people of the Union have been led into very unfor- tunate misconceptions. Substantially speakiog, there had been but one *‘ disputed point” in the con- yention of 1818, and that, as we have already ox- plained, relates to the interpretation properly applicable to the term “ Le *—the Americans professing to understand by this phrase the nar- row seeks and inlets of the coast exclusively, and the British government ym ge largo bays, such as that of Fundy, to the south, and that of Ukaleur, tothe nerth of New Brunswick, are com- rehended no less effectually than the smaller coast Pidentations. This is the point which, as tho reader is now aware, has been disputed for more than thirty years. Tho§ British Vernment never made any surrender of its views, though it conceded a certain relaxation in respect of the Bay of Fundy, but the Americans, although, of course, incompe- tent to give imperative effect to their own interpro- tation, have practically acted upon it to a consider- able extent. By the announcement that this quos- tion “ remains where it was” we can only under- stand an assertion that no step has been taken to place the objects of either government on a footing different from that Foaling twelve months ago. Of course, the dispute of necessity ‘‘ remains where it was;”’ that is to say, tho terms ef the written convention are unchanged and the respective merits of the two interpretations unaffected.

As to the proposed loam having beoa © igsued”’ by & deorce of the Demiaigiaa Congress the fact is believed to be simply that tho Presiden was authorised in 1851 to negotiate fora loan, but that such a loan would juire the sanotion of tho Legialature, and that it is doubtful if this would obtained for anything like the amount named. At the samo timo, it is impossible to com- prehend the Pad rened for which it can be re- quired. The deprociated paper circulation might be bought up for £30,000, and the idea of a State with only 200, inhabitants, and scarcely yet firm in ite independence, or secure from the domostie in- trigues peculiar to all races of Spanish origin, tak- ing upon itself a debt of £750,000, simply to pro- mote enterprise and immigration, is preposterous. Tho interest and sinking fund upon this would be nearly £60,000 per annum, and the entire revenue of the republic is supposed not to oxceed £60,000. If she could support a war without expe- riencing financial difficulties, she must be in a con- dition to meet all tho requirements of such immi- tion as is likely to take place at present; and, as ar as aire the romotion of entorprise, it will bo enough if the English public deal with any specific project that may be brought forward, after a full examination of their merits. That many such openings in connexion with the trade of Dominica will from time to time present themselves cannot be doubtod, since the country is naturally rich, and its situation on the highway from Europe to Nica- ragua, together with the fact, which appears to be tted, that an abundant supply of bituminous is obtainable in tho Bay of Samana, can scarcely fail from this period to insure its rapid pro- gross The Poll of all England, {From the London Herald, August 13.)

In London, ho takes Mr. Masterman, on the one side, and Lord John Russell on the other. In Middlesex, ho bears in mind that the contest was between Mr. Os- borne, on the one side, and the Marquis of Bland- ford on the other. He, therefore, passes over Lord Robort Grosvenor, who united some of the votes of each party. It may be complained that Finsbury, the Tower Hamlets, &c., occupy no place in the calculation. They could not have any place, inus- much as they had no conservative canAlianasy and the conservative electors did not poll. But the weight thus lost to the whig radical scale, is far more than counterbalanced by the forty or fifty divisions of counties which were silent, because no whig or radical choso to brave a poll.

THE INTENDED MARRIAGE OF LOUIS NAPOLEON BROKEN OFF, ETU. The correspondent of one of the London papers says te is rumored that some untoward accident has oc- curred to interfere with (some say to break off entirely) the President’s projected matrimonial alliance. In quar- ters that ought to be well informed, it is denied that a rupture has taken place, though it would appear that something has occurred, not, however, as I am informed, of « terious character, Every one knows that the © eouree of true love never docs run smooth,” but I be- lieve it would be premature to say that it has been de- finitively interrupted.

Our Lisbon letters and papers of the 8th inst. state that the Minister of Financo had presented his budget, which exhibited receipts to the amount of 12,492 contos, and an expenditure of 12,831 contos, thus leaving a deficit of 389 contos. The government, as we are informed, will avail themselves of the interval, up to the opening of tho Cortes, in decreeing measures of immediate neces- sity—e. g., simplifying the present mode of im- posing taxes, thereby doing away with much of the ee and difficulty now experienced in collecting them. The electoral decree was being drawn up, and would require about a month for its completion. The port wine question, so says report, will meot with a speedy settlement, though its doing so will perhaps occasion much diseutisfaction in the Douro provinces.

URQUIZA--COM- MERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, ETO. The steamship Severn, arrived at Southampton (England) on the 12th inst., bringing the usual ne and River Plate mails.

The Severn landed 52 ngers at Lisbon, and brings 49 to Southampton, among whom is Admiral Pascoe Grenfell, of the Brazilian navy. The news from the River Plate by this packet is of a somewhat important character. Buenos Ayres was again under a dictatorial government, the duration of which it was impossible to foretell.

LUIS J. DELA PENA, TO THE CHARGE D’AFFAIRES AND CONSUL GENBRAL OF HER BRITANNIC MAJESTY, THE HON. ROBEAE GORE. Parenmo pe San Bexiro, June 24, 1868, The undersigned has received orders from his Exoal- lency the Provisional Director of the Argentine Confede- ration, to enclose to your Honor a copy of the deter- mination he adopted ‘yestorday, of declaring dissolved the Chamber of Kepresentatives of this province, and utting in exercise the faculties that are conferred upom fim by the 14th article of the Treaty of San Nicolas de los Arroyos, which was communicated to your Honee yesterday, and which is a law of the Confederation. ‘This determination is justified by the notoriety of the facts that have taken place, expecially since te inst. ; and his Excellency the Director has recapitulated. them in the appended manifest, which he caused te be published yesterday.

On transmitting this determination to the knowl of your Honor, the undersigned has been directed His Excellency, to reiterate to you the assurance the rights of your fellow-countrymen will be scrupulows- ly respected, as alxo those of the pacific citizens, the friends of order, Having thus fulfilled the orders of the Director of the Confederation, I have the satisfaction of saluting you, accompanying the official documents published om this date, God preserve your Honor many years, LUIS JOSE DE LA PENA. Our accounts from Rio do Janoiro state that a law had been passed authorizing the incorporation of @ company for establishing a railway from that city to several towns in the interior.

In the first instance the voyages are to be performed monthly, and afterwards every twenty days, with vessels of 10 ¢horse power. Other conditions ae likewise impored—such as the settlomont of colo-~ nies, conveyance of mails, &s. The public revenue of Brazil continued to increase, and the first six months of 1852 showed a he excess over the cor- responding period of 1851. ‘The revenue of the last financial year was 37,000 contos. The funds remit- ted to London by the government from April 14, 1861, to April 15, 1852, amounted to £641,680 ster- ling; the exports to be markets amounted te 66,120,604 milreis, exceeding those of 1861 by 11,026,334 milreis. The steamers conveying Sir C. Hotham and the Chevalier de St. Georges had touched at Rio. It was apprehended by many persons that the wishes of Great Britain and France were likelyto meet with some difficulties, and that some componsation would be demanded for opening the rivers to the navigation of foreign vessels. In tho Brazilian Chamber of Deputies a project for granting a cre- dit of 400 contos, in order to buy steamers to cruise against the African slave traders, was bei dis- cussed, and would probably be passed. The desire of the imperial government to suppress this traflie is thus clearly shown. ce At Tenerifie, United States corvette Preble ; at Madeira, United States corvette Dale, snd brig Bainbridge. Her Majesty’sships Herald and T of the South Sea Expedition, left St. Vincent’s om the 29th of July for Rio. The fever had very much abated at Rio de Janei— ro, and only a few cases existed, which caused no anxiety. Buenos Ayres commercial accounts state that the month of June opened with a brisk demand for manufactured goods, both for local consumption and for the interior markets; prices had, therefore, rallied from the late depression, and durin; whole month the system of transhipment an embarkation had been going on to a large amount.
