gaged' the attention of her llajesty's Ministers since

in their estimation -than the qtestion relating to the pro-
tection solicited for the fiaheriss of the coasts of British
North America. Her Majestye Government have taken
into Untie serious considerationthe representations upon
this subject contained in yourdispatches, noticed in the
margin, and have not failed to observe that; whilst
active measures have been-takes by certain colonies for
the purpose of encpuraging their fisheries and repelling
the intrusion of foreign vessels, it has been a subject of
compleint that impediments shaild have been offered by
the policy of the Imperial Government to the enactment
of bounties, considered by the heal Legislature essential
for the,protection of this trade Her Majesty'S Minis-

of the convention of 1818, and they therefore intend to

of that convention.'

ing, as to bouhties:- '

tion any . unnecessary deviatiot from that policy which
regulates the commerce' of • the country, are still disin-
clined to predent those colonies, by the interposition of
Imperial authority; 'and especially pending the neghtia-
