THE FISHERIES.

The following is Lord Clarendon's letter on the reci
procity treaty, addressed to Sir Edmund Head, as pub-
lished in the Frederickton, Gazette :

" Downing-street, Aug. 18, 1854.
"Si r,—l have the honour of transmitting to you a copy of
a communication which her Majesty's Government have
just received from the Minister of the United States at this
Court, enclosing a despatch from the Department of State at
Washington, by which it appears that the President's ra-
tification of the reciprocity treaty will be ready to be ex-
changed against that of her Majesty when the latter arrives at
Washington, and that the Congress bad already passed a
law to give effect to that treaty. Mr. Marcy also expresses
the hope of the Government of the United States that Ame-
ricAn fishermen may not be molested if they should at once
attempt to use the privileges secured to them by the treaty.
It is the desire of her Majesty's Government that this wish
of the Government of the United States should be acceded
to, and that American fishermen may be immediately
allowed the use of these privilegeF.
" Her Majesty's ratification will be sent by this mail, to
be exchanged against that of the President of the United
States by her Majesty's Minister at Washington.
" I have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient bum-
ble servant, " CLARENDON.
" Lieut.-Governor Sir Edmund Head, &c."
