Mazzini is prepa- ring a vindication of his conduct, of which an extract has already appeared in the Genoa’ journal {alia e Popao. The writer repels, amongst other charges, that of im providenee, and boasts that none of his numerous emis. series were arrested: that the police failed to seize any of his written instruction: ; that those taken from an indi- vidual named Partesotti, who was coneealed ina garret atParis, were not genuine, and that Partesotti pretend- ed to be inian agent for the purpose of selling him- self 1 Austria fora few hundred francs.

It would appear from his griev- ances that no good understanding ever existed between them and his frieads in London. a ‘According to a letter from Malta, the submarine tele- aph, which Mr. Brett is about to establish between the Spezzia, Cagliari, and Cape Teulado, the most southern point of the island of Sardinia, is to be extended to Malta, at the expense of the English \Foverniment.

The objection to Mr. Craufurd’s return to Tuscany has at the same time been withdrawn.

A — ing versela, except under precisely ry um- es as oy which have been acted on of late Some ess was made by Mr. Webster, before his th, int preparations to negotiate with Mr. Crampton on jee ituertan and on the aubject which the colonies and Great Britain are desirous of connecting with it—I mean commercial reciprocity between the United States and the British provinces. The President is still desirous that this negotiation should proceed, and it will be taken up as soon as possible. He is, however, of opinion, as the two subjects have no natural or necessary connection, that it will not be advisable to endeavor to include them both in one treaty. Whatever agreement may be made on either of these eubjects by treaty will probal a law to carry it inte effect ; and the requisite legislation is much more likely to be effected by keeping each subject by iteelf, unembarrassed by the difliculties of the other. In this state of things, it isnot worth while to reaew the general discussion of the occurrences of last summer. There are, however, some remarks in the despatch of Lord Malmesbury to Mr. Crampton which, in justice to this government, to Mr. Webster, and I may add to my- self, require some reply. f Lord Malmesbury expresses the ‘sincerest regret that such a publication (as Mr. Webster's of the 20th July) thould have been made, without what appears to her Majesty’s government sufficient inquiry into the circum: stances of the case,”’ and intimates that this government was hardly justified in napponing that any measures offen- sive to the ‘United States could have been intendei by Great Britain. It must be recollected, however, that Mc. Webster's notice was designed solely as a warning to our fisherwen not to incur a risk which was for the moment supposed to be great and imminent. This interest is one of too mueh magnitude to be left exposed even to possible danger of serious injury. However great our reliance on the friendly intentions of the English government, we had official notice, and that a very short notiee, that a more efficient armed force was ordered to the fishing junds to act against French and American fishermen. Tke encroachments complained of by the colonists, and which caused this step to be taken, had never been repre: sented to this government, nor was their precise nature known. Under these circumstancer, it was quite natural to believe, and it certainly was believed, that some new and detisive measures of repression were about to be adopted, against which it was important that our fisher men should be warned without a moment’s delay. It is necessary to bear in mind, as a chief source of un- easiness and occasional irritation on this subject, that, the fisheries have generally been liberal, acd founded on a comprehensive survey countries, those views have been steadily, and but too successfully met, as I shell show hereafter, by a colonial influence of an opposite character. Lord Malmesbury objects to a remark of Mr. Webster, bas occured an entire change of policy the fisheries; and he observes ‘‘the qué Brish subjects in the exercise of rights under t not materially affected by changes’ of ministry.” Such is unquestionably the case, not only in England, but in ion of protect administered. best mode of asserting them. Webster meant nothing ed by their predecessors; and I hope to show, sequal ot this note, that, if the predecessors of the pre- somewhat indulgent in this respect, it was a wite policy, adopted for good reasons.

Jf the publication of my letter alone, without the rest of the correspondence, was, as Lord Malmenbary inti- mates, calculated to cause an incorrect view of the sub- Ject to be taken, it must have operated in that way for a very short time. My letter appeared in Boston on the 21+t | of July, ard on the 2d of August the entire correspon- | denee was communicated to Congress by the President, | and immediately transferred to the newspapers. I may | add that the only rearon why Lerd Aberdeen's note of the | 10th of March, 1845, was not furnished to Mr. Webster, Instead of my own cf the 20th of April, giving an account of it, was, tl part of the correspondence. Lord Malmesbury specifies two points, thirks, my letter of the 26th April, 18: | to,produce am incorrect view of the subject. ‘the first is, that I stated that Lord Aberdeen’s note of the 10th of Sfarch, 1845, conedced to American fishermen the right of fishing withia the Bay of Fundy. but left doubt ful the question of other bays; whereas if Lord Aberdeen’s notes, to which Mr. Everett alluded, had been carefull examined by Mr. Webster, and had also been published, Mr. Webster, and the public of the two countries, would have seen that, instead of conceding @ right, Lord Aber- eon expressly reserved it: but in orde: friendly feeling of Great Britain toward the her Majesty’s government, by Lord Aberdeen’s note, “relayed,’’ as regarded the Bay of Fundy, the right which her Majesty’s government felt bound to maintain of ex in which, as he Prove the | eluding American fishermen from that bay. This purpore of her Majesty's government is as fully aptarent in my letters as in Lord Aderdeen's andif Lord Malmesbury will carefully examine that of 26th of April, published by Mr. Webster, he will find that he has alto gether misapprehended purport. in the sentence which he quotes from my letter, the important word in reference to the matter in hand is concede. But after stating that the British government had come to the de termination to concede to American fishermen the right to fieh in the Bay of Fundy, I added, not as Lord Mal mesbury’s despatch represents me to have done, that I had ‘‘claimed the same right as regards other bays,’” but that Thad expressed the hope that the concession was meant to extend to them; and, further, that it ought to be understood in the United Slates that tie extension of the same privilege to the other great bays is a matter of negotiation between the two governmerts. All this is certainly true, The ‘right which I state to have been conceded is not the right which was re- served by Great Britain, The right conceded to us. as she understood the matter, was the right to fish in the Bay of Fundy ; the right ‘reserved by Great Britain was the right to exclude our fishermen from that bay ; and this right, as she deemed it, she relaxed in our favor. There ix not only no contrali-tion between the state- ments, but the relaxation (as Great Dritain consi‘lers it) of her right to exclude us from the bay was the founda Mion, by concession. of our right to enter it. | Lord Malmesbury does not surely deny that our fisher Lave now aright to enter the Bay of Fundy. The rence between the two governments is, that we cleim right under the convention of 1818 ; while Grea; Bri admits it under the concession of 1845. Jord Malmesbury’s strictures on my language imply that concession cannot be the basis of right; whereas half the land titles of Europe have no other foundation. Al! Aweriea is held under charters from the crown, granting or conceding a preperty to the gran’ ; and on the E ntinent concession is the technical term for ‘here is one expression in my letter of the 26th of April, 1845, which, hastily read, may have led Lord Malmesbury to tuppose that it would cause an impres sion that Great ritaim had acknowledged our right under the convention of 1818 to fish in the Bay of Fund That expression is as follows:—‘‘I was careful to point out to Lord Aberdeen that all the reasons for admitting the right of Americans to fish in the Bay of Fundy” This, of course, is true; but it refers to what I had maintained, not’ to what My letter of 26th April needs only to be earefully read to perceive that its whole teror is in accordance with the facts of the ease, and with the nature of the concession, (as her Majesty s government regarded it,) as to the Bay of Fundy. In my letter to Lord Aberdeen, of the 20th of March while | strenuously maintained the American construc tion of the convention, which limits to the inner bays | the renunciation cohtained in the first article of the con- vention, I ucknowledged the liverality of her Majesty's government in making what they regarded a concession in our favor; and Iam rot aware that any misconception has existed as to the epposite grounds taken, of late years, by the two governments on this subject.

I bave already disclaimed the intention of going into & general discussion of the fishery question, but I think it proper to allude to one important misapprehen- ‘argument, which, though it’ has, ‘10 doubt, had the chiet agency in producing the difference of opinion between the two governments as io the true intent of the convention of 1818, has not, [ believe, been pointed out in the diplomatic discussions between the United States andGreat Britain. Lord Aber. deen, in his note of the 10th of March, 1845, announcing the relaxiion as to the Bay of Fundy, thus expresses him: seli —' Her Majesty's government must still maintain, and in this view they are fortified by high legal authority, that the Bay of Fundy is right‘ully claimed by Great Britain as a bay within the meaning of the treaty of 1818, And they equally maintain the position which’ was laid down in the note of the undersigned, dated the 15th of April last, that with regard to the other bays on the Britirh American coast, no United States fisherman has, under that convention, the right to fish within three miles of the entrance of such bays as designated by a line drawn from headland to headland of that entrance.”” The “high legal authority”? here referred to was not communicated to me by Lord Aberdeen, and is believed never to have be2u communicated to the government of the United States. But I think I do noterr in supposing the allusion to be to the opinion signed J. Dodson and Thomas Wilde, then the law officers of the crown, given on a requisition of Lord Palmerston in 1841. In this opinion, which has been publithed at Halifax, these distinguished jurists say “that no right exists on the part of American citizons to enter the bays of Nova Scotia, there to take fish, although the fishing being with- in the bay may be at a greater distance than three miles frcm the shore of the bay, as we are of opinion that the term heacland is used in the treaty to express the part of the land we have before mentioned, excluding the interior of the bays and the inlets of the coast.” Now, neither the term “headland,” nor anything equivalent or synonymous, occurs in the convention of 1818; and this legal authority, which, no doubt, was mainly instrumental in leading the home government. to adopt the colonial construstion of the treaty, rests in this respect upon an imaginary basis. The law officers of the crown agpear to have mistaken a sentence in tl arie case mat up at Halifax, in which the word headland ap- pears, for a part of the treaty between the United States and Great Britain, which they were required to expound. The government of the United States canpot but regret that an official opinion which had the effect of reversing the construction of the convention on which Great Britain had acted from 1818 to 1842, which excluded our fisher- men from some of the best ishing grounds after tho un- disturbed enjoyment of a quarter of a century, and finally brought the countries to the verge of a deplora- ble collision, should have been given by the law officers of the crown without @ more careful perusal of the text of the treaty. I wish before closing this dispatch to call your atten. tion to a very og! tec rot point connected with this gene. ral subject. “In Lord Aberdeen’s letter to me of the 10th of Merch, 1845, announcing the intention of the Queen's goverpment to allow our fishermen to enter the Bay of Fundy, his Lordship says :— In thus communicating to Mr. Everett the liberal inten- tione of her Majesty's government, the undersigned desires to call Nr.

S—Decemner 23.—The foregoing patch, as ite date shows, was prepared some time ago; and though it bad already been submitted to the President fer his ap- proval, I had made up my mind toask his permission tc- The conferences between Mr. Crampton and wyeelf, in reference to the entire question of the fisher- ies and commercial reciprocity, having made the most encouraging progress, I thought it better, upon the vhole, to acquiesce in the injustice, no doubt unintentional, in Lord Malmesbury’s letter to Mr. Crampton of the 10tlr of August, than to revive a somewhat unpleasant discus- _ sion. But there are some portions of Lord Malmesbury’s | remarks, in reply to Lord Wharncliffe on the 26th of No~ vember, as reported in the London papers, which maka it imporsible for me to pursue this course. 1 am aware of the irregularity of remarking on what i¢ said within the walls of the legislature of a friendly State; | but Lord Malmesbury has commented on the debate in ing from your statements that any such gonoral concession | the Senate of the United States in July last, and he will British North | American provinces, we have abandoned the intention we not, under the present circumstances, deny me the right, of Pare Ae) example. fs Lallude to the first portion of Lord Malmesbury’s reply to Lord Wharncliffe, in which he endeavors to throw upom the American government, and, individually, upen my predecessor, the responsibility of the alarm of last sum- mer about the fisheries, and even ascribes it (if he is cor- rectly reported, which I am willing to believe is not the cae) toa very unworthy motive. Now, I must say more distinctly than I have done in the preceeding letter, that. Mr. Lawrence’s despatches of the 10th and 13th of August led us to suppose that her Majesty's government felt fhe: | they had acted precipitately in directing a naval mov | ment toward the fishing-grounds, on a notice to this gev- ernment both too short and too general to be of any use. We did not ask or expect that any admission to this effecs. should be made diplomatically or otherwise; but we cer- tainly did not expect to have the blame trans‘erred to- | ourselves, with the imputation of unbecoming motives. After sisting thet there wasno just cause for the publi- ', Webster’s notice of the 20th of July, Lordi Malmer bury is reported to have said:—‘The noble lord’ "| who had just set down. and who had been for some time a resident in the United States, and whe knew the in fluences which periodical events exercised in those local- | ities, might perhaps be able to account for the appear- ance at that time of a correspo sence, which at another: | yeriod might never have seen the light.” And a little ‘urther on, Lord Malmesbury a-cribes the preparation | of the notiseto the excitement induced by the disea: | whose fatal determination he handsomely lameats—a su | gestion, by the way, notin perfect harmony with the im- pated motive ot political calculation, jut Lord Malmesbury may be assured that the felt by Mr. Webster, and shaved by the President ant an the members of the Cabinet, was deep and unaffected. Was caused by information received direetly from the pro- vinces. Although Mr. Webster's notice was published on the 20th July, and for the rake of officiai form was dated at Washiogton, Mr. Crampton’s note of the 5th of July had never been seen by Mr. Webster, who left Washing- ton that day: nor, if it had been seen by him, was it of = nature to relieve the alarm justly caused by the informa- tion transmitted from the colonies. Not wishing to pro- long this postscript, I forbear to enlarge on the charac- ter of this information, and to show, as I could easily da state of slarm on the part of our fishing interest. ‘If Lord’ Mel. mexbury will reconsider for a moment the necescary in. ferences from his impatation, (hitherto confined te tits Party press, for which, during a eanvase, nothing is too bsurd,) he will feel'i's extravaganes, not to say it cruelty to the living and the dead. It implies that Mr. Webster—of whom in the latter part of his speech Lord Malmesbury speaks in liberal terms, (though limiting hi | eulogy to @ period subsequent to the appearance of the notice of the 20th of July)—was eapable of getting up, for electionecring pucposes, a false and short lived alarm, which, for the time, menaeed the peace of the two countries,’ but was sure to be exposed by the re- | turn of the English mail; conduct, to say the leas¢, whicl | would have been as weak as wicked. What Lord Malmes- bury is reported to have called a “correspondence,” and light bat for a “letter,” which might not have seen the recurrence of certain ‘periodical events,” was no cor- | respondence nor letter, but a notice | fishermen, It was nothing if not publishe | be published then or never. | , With respect to the ‘influence of periodical events,’* | for the exi:tence of which in the United States Lord falmesbury avouches the personal observation of Lord. Wharneliffe, Imay be permitted to say that f have re- sided much looger in England than Lord W. has done it America, and have carefully observed the country under the operation of an event of the kind referred to—that is a general election. I respect and admire the popular institu | tions of England, the fountain, to some extent, of our own. Idid not, however, bring away from that country the im | pression that her distinguished public men are less sub- Ject to electioncering influences than our own of the same class, I believe the majority of sueh men in both countries to be henest and sincere; and that, even when they err in judgment, they transact th | public business in good faith. I feel cocfident that Lord lalmesbury would deem it a just subject of complaint if, in an official statement to Congress, Ishonld, having de nied ail foundation in fact and reason, to a certain. por | tion of the sayings or doings of Ler Majesty's ministers last summer, during the progress of the clection which was going on simultaneously with our own canvass, have | imputed them to the motive by which Lord Mulmesvury, in effect, accounts for the publication of Mr, We "s ‘ otice of the 20th of July. ts : eee This much I have been constrained to ray, from a sense of duty to this government and to Mr. Webster; feoling that substantial injustice wonld be done to both, in leaving without any notice the remarks made by Lord Malmesbury, both in his letter to Mr. Crampton, commu- nicated by his direction to this department, and in his reply to Lord Wharrcliffe of the 26th of November. —_——— FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, | MONEY MARKET: Turspay, April 26—6 P.
