have warned the American fishing fleets off the
fishing grounds adjacent to their coasts, thus indi-
cating a design to renew the unreasonable claims
made prior to the Reciprocity Treaty, and to annoy
peaceable commerce, the Secretary of the Navy is
requested to send a sufficient naval force to the fish-
ing grounds to protect the citizens in the enjoyment
of their rights as recognised by the treaty of 1783
and subsequent treaties."

President J ohnson has issued the following pro-
clamation :

" Whereas the President of the United States at
different times in 1861 and 1862 declared certain
States to be in insurrection, and during July, 1861,
Congress adopted resolutions declaring that war
was waged solely to maintain the supremacy of the
Constitution, and to preserve the Union with all
the dignity and quality of the rights of the States
unimpaired, and that as soon as these objects were
accomplished the war ought to cease ;
" Whereas no organised or armed resistance to
Federal authority exists in the late insurrectionary
States, and the proper Federal or States' civil
authority can enforce the laws therein, and the
people are loyally disposed, and have conformed, or
will conform, by legislation, to the condition of
affairs growing out of the Constitutional amendment
prohibiting slavery ;
" Whereas, in view of the before-recited premisses,
it is the manifest determination of the American
people that no State, of its own will, can secede
from the Union, and that therefore each State
ought to remain and constitute an integral part of
the United States ;
" Whereas the people of the said insurrectionary
States, in the manner aforesaid, have given satis-
factory evidenee of acquiescence in this sovereign
and important resolution of national unity ;
" Whereas it is believed to be a fundamental
principle of government that people who have re-
volted and been overcome and subdued must either
be treated so as to induce them voluntarily to be-
come friends, or else to be held by absolute military
power, so as to prevent them from ever again doing
harm as enemies, which last-named policy is abhor-
rent to humanity and freedom ;
" Whereas the Constitution provides for consti-
tutional communities only as States, and not as
territories, dependencies, provinces, or protecto-

rates ;
" Whereas, such constituent States must neces-
sarily be, and by the Constitution are, made equal
and placed on a like footing as to political rights,
immunities, dignity, and power with the States with
which they are united ;
" Whereas the observance of political equality is
a principle of right and justice, and is well calcu-
lated to encourage the people of the aforesaid States
to be and become more constant in their renewed
allegiance ; -
" Whereas standing armies, military occupation,
martial law, military tribunals, and suspension of
the habeas corpus arc in time of peace dangerous to
public liberty, incompatible with individual rights,
contrary to the genius and spirit of American insti-
tutions, and ought not, therefore, to be sanctioned,
except in cases of necessity for repelling invasion or
suppressing rebellion ;
" Whereas the policy of the Federal Government
from the beginning to the end of the rebellion has
been in conformity with the principles herein set
forth,—.l therefore proclaim the insurrection in
Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia, Ten-
nessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi,
and Florida to be ended, and henceforth to be so
regarded."

A brig, arrived at New Orleans, reports having
